TTQ B4U Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Many of the things that cost $$ and bring no joy are associated with owning a home. Fuck, I hate spending money on shit that's no fun. Today's purchase, $575 on a Honda Mower Hoorah...now I can mow my yard still..... :jerkit: Yeah, it's nice for a mower, but yard work still sucks. Driveway - putting it off but will likely do next year. What are some of yours? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RS69 Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 I just spent over $300 for a new transmission for my dixie chopper, thank goodness it wasn't the drive pumps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinner Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Just had the driveway done need to get a mower as well but trying to push it off as long as I can. I did just put flooring in the kitchen while it was a all day job the end product looks awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTQ B4U Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 if you dont find home improvement projects fun you aren't right as a man I enjoy home improvement projects...but I have a love for writing checks vs actually doing the work. Call me crazy but I enjoy upwards of 12 weeks of vacation per year and would much rather be on the beach while my new floors are going in than actually doing them myself.

Geeesammy Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 If you're not taking joy in your learning, might I suggest you're not doing it right? I should have added in a few more words..I'm taking joy in the education and learning new things, but having to write a check close to 5 figures every 5-6 months is the not so joyful part. But now that I'm thinking about it, possibly the joy is knowing I won't have to pay back loans like some other people will lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geeesammy Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Another classic Doc burn. BRB. Calling on taxpayers to wipe my ass and support me through school. I'm sure you won't mind knowing that I would spend your tax dollars you are giving me with your paycheck on beer and car parts, would you? :dumb: And here all along I thought one IMS2 was enough?

Mr. Jones Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Just got out from under the house replacing the HVAC blower motor. Keeping this old HVAC unit alive for another year hopefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Bastard Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I hate renting a house instead of buying one, however poor choices at a young age leave me no choice. I'd rather be putting money into a house rather than throwing it away on rent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littleguy Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 I'll probably end up spending $1000-2000 on custom harnesses to completely rewire all the electrics on the Mazda. Also, the house HVAC that I will probably have to replace sometime in the next couple of years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mallard Posted June 21, 2013 Report Share Posted June 21, 2013 Speeding tickets. Also, fixing shit that breaks on my house, for instance I have to tear down most of my basement and re-do it because the douche before me did such a poor job, and in the next 5 years it's going to need a new roof.

I spend money on way more un-fun stuff than fun. Just gotta hopefully be able to mix some fun things in there. Go price a nice riding mower & then consider yourself lucky for getting off for $500. There's a reason I've basically rebuilt my mine 10 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
