Not really. I don't have any more problems with money that I did a 14 when I mowed yards as I do now....

You implied that saving $100 isn't shit to you, spending $25 on an oil change isn't shit to you, etc....it seems you are coming across like a pompus jerk. Not to say you are, as this is one of the first threads in which we have interacted.

Here is what i was responding to in regards to the 100 bucks.

I personally could care less what everything else is doing....my reasoning for buying a motorcycle was that I can make payments on the bike, pay for insurance and gas for less than I was spending at the pump for either of my autos. last month I went 2,000 miles on less than $100.

What I was trying to convey to that person was that the little savings that he is seeing by using a motorcycle doesnt mean much in the large scheme of things. I wasnt saying that saving money in general is unimportant. My point is that savings that small in the big picture wont solve any problems that may arise due to the problems currently facing all of us in the current state of our economy. I thought this person was looking at things in the short term.

But isn't fuel conversation part of the solution? I mean, I started carpooling. It saves a little bit here and there, but I also feel like I am doing my part to help the economy.

Sure it does, but the poster was saying that he didnt give a crap about anything else that is happening in the economy because he has it all handled on his end by getting a scooter. That thought is simply ridiculous. What good will that savings be when he loses his job due to a poor economy. That was my point.

I took the train to the airport a few weeks ago because of fuel savings. Hell, Im even pulling my FZR600 out of the garage myself due to gas costs. But all of that wouldnt matter too much if my wife lost her job. the economy wont impact my job, but it **** sure will everyone else in the mainstream that works in business.
