That means you spent too much money. Or had a shit ton of people, which IMO isn't necessary either. We splurged on a number of things - our reception hall was expensive, but was super-nice too (far nicer than any other wedding I've been to...and I've been to/in a lot). We could have spent far less and had a wedding that was just as fun/memorable, but we wanted our reception to be fancier than guests would have expected (such as having wine service with our meal, went up a couple levels on our plated dinners, the reception hall, artsy photographer, etc.). There are plenty of ways to save cash at a wedding.

You would think long descriptions help (and they would help me as a buyer), but from my experience they can sometimes hurt your sale. Lots of detailed pictures help. Be the best price for the mileage/condition/age.

My property taxes went up...AGAIN. It's awesome being taxed to death.

Poor logic. No one wants to rob a place where they think there will be a gun battle - even POS criminals don't WANT to get shot at.

Ours was 14k, but that's because we splurgged on some things (expensive photographer, a very expensive bar bill), and had a very nice room for our reception. We also paid for the groomsmen's tuxes and the bridesmaids dresses. That said, I've had requests to get married again because people said our wedding was so awesome. Most receptions fade out before the night ends - ours ended at midnight, and most of the people that came were still there, some of which continued to party with us after. Spending a bunch of money on a church = waste. Money on flowers = waste (if you are getting a scenic place for the wedding/reception, you don't need flowers other than what the wedding party carries). Spending a ton of money on thank you notes, invitations, programs = waste. I was able to buy kits for all of that and saved a fortune, and because I spent some time, I was able to make ones that were better looking than many "professional" invitations I have seen (having a laser printer helps, which aren't that expensive, but would have still looked good on an ink-jet). Limo = waste. Horse and carriage stuff = waste. Expensive DJ = waste...price != quality when it comes to a DJ - you just need to shop around and talk to a bunch of them to make sure it isn't some kid with a laptop, and make sure they have an understanding of the music you want. Our DJ was awesome for a very reasonable price. Professional center pieces = HUGE WASTE. We made our own that looked great at a great price (Garden Ridge is great for getting wedding stuff on the cheap). Probably spent 1/8th of what you would on pro-stuff. Uber-expensive dress = waste. There are tons of nice dresses in the $300-700 market. Expensive cake = waste. Get one that is big enough to feed everyone, and make sure it tastes good, because that makes a much bigger impact than how it looks (ours was small and simple 3-tier, but was REALLY tasty). I'm not saying provide some cake in a pan, but spending 1k on a cake is just plain stupid. E-bay and other online places are great ways to pick up stuff that is nice but on the cheap, such as your guest book, box for cards, garter, wedding topper, cake serving silverware, etc. Also, be smart about the food bill. For our situation, we found plated dinner was the cheaper way to go for our situation, but buffets are normally the cheaper route. If you are really cheap, go with a cash bar, but cash bar weddings normally = crappy weddings. No booze weddings always = crappy weddings.

Way too artsy. And it sounded like shit.

I have 2 acres, no flooding. Two probably 1" deep puddles about the size of my foot are near where there is a drain in my back yard (about half way back on the property, near the property line). Flooding sucks...fixing that is money well spent IMO.

It's not being independently wealthy, it's called budgeting for what you can afford, and knowing where to cut costs. Guests thought our wedding was a lot more expensive than it was, due to being creative and spending money wisely (not that it was cheap, but people spending 40k+ on weddings is just insanity).

Good, this is how robery stories should always end. The more people shoot and f' up criminals, the more the word gets out to them that doing this might not be such a good idea.

What does your parents not having jobs have to do with paying for your wedding?

The range on that sucks, badly.

That the rotary has been proven to be a huge failure? Why are we letting some shit-hole engine ruin a perfectly good topic? That's a nice pile of heads, and we should admire them.

200HP modern sedan shouldn't require that much maintenance. A rear-engine Sports/GT car from the 80's = fully understandable.

You said exactly nothing there. Rotaries do suck, true story, Google it.

I'd love to have a slant nose 930. Especially a Ruf slant nose.

Must be using that "new math." 1 US Ton = 2000lbs. 1.3 tons = 2600lbs. Grade school math.

You obviously don't realize this. The RPO codes shows what options the car has. The VIN doesn't.

I personally am not a fan of cheapie Autozone fuel pumps. Had a CPI 4.3L Blazer that I had to go through 3 Autozone units before I got a good one (each unit didn't last long). Final good one lasted quite a while until someone hit the truck and totalled it, so it wasn't a voltage/wiring issue.

Uber expensive and still makes less power than many other powerplants with similar money invested. Rotaries suck. Get used to it.

Wow, that diesel can tow a massive 2600lbs max.

I wish my heating bill was $200 last month. All electric with a 5 ton heat pump (brand new, highest efficiency Carrier makes), newer home...$436. That was a swift kick in the pants!

I'm wondering the cost on doing something like this. I'd love to widen part of our driveway, and even pave it next to the garage, but I'm sure that much concrete will be pricey.

WOW doesn't offer an upload rate lower than 1Mbps.

Which is why JD Power changed the awards from nationwide awards and made them regional. Yet not only does WOW still win for the region, they score higher points than anyone else in any other region.
