Posted: Jun 24, 2007 12:03 am Post subject: What to do with a Grand |
|
|
my most recent pay check put me at about a grand and im asking every
one for some spending advice, im thinkin' either a tower, or fat sacs/
other similar products, or a cheaper tower and fat sacks, or the less
desirable option of doing what i did with the last chunk of cash i had and
continue to pay back my parents.
thanks all ( P.S. what do you think is more benificial towers or ballasts,) _________________ I run show where ever I go. |

Spend half, pay parents back with other half, and then try to find a tower. |

neither of these are necessary in wakeskating. Give your parents some money(they'll appreciate some responsibility) |

pay back the rents....i just gave my dad the 2K i owed him and it feels real damn good to know that you dont owe anything to anyone.
and tower/ballast is def. not necessary for skatin. if you have any left over and you're still jonesin to spend it.... go to your local home depot/lowes/whatever and get some rail supplies.
incline, flatbar, box, gap.....just have fun with it. _________________ R.I.P. JT- we all know you're slayshin up above, smack the lip off a cloud for us!
And there's no way anybody is going to see a manatee, then say calmly " Hey look, a manatee." Those are some scary lookin motherfckers.

pay back parents... take it from those of us that have been thru this decision b4.. pay them back. the sign of maturity and financial responsibility will go much further than you think. |

Buy mass quantities of drugs and do them for a week until you have life changing visions. I'm surprised nobody has suggested this method. _________________ -Jim |

what kind of boat? do yo have a pylon extention? if not you can get one for a couple hundred, save some money and give some to your parents. If you need a fat sac just get an old waterbed at a garage sale and an aerator pump for the boat store and you're set/ |

Buy a llama and ride it to South America. From there you should be able to find some cheap flip flops and a blanket for a decent price. With the money left over buy yourself a couple of cheeseburgers. _________________

Jimbob
....hahahah Great!
Go on a trip. TRAVEL!!! When I was young and had some extra clams in my pocket, I did a summer snowboard camp at Mt.Hood. That was back in '94. I got to meet a sha-it load of my heroes and get good. I learned a bunch of new tricks. As Jimbob recommended, I was also able to go up to Whistler for some more sumer riding and got drunk, stizzled and banged dirty French chicks. I look back on that trip fondly and as money well spent.
I convinced my folks to let me go by saying that I was going to also visit the Campuses of UBC in Vancouver. They wanted me to go to University when I was young. _________________ Life's Kredo = "When the snake falls in love with the spagetti it's time to buy a new hat." & "I guess I need to whiskey up these corn flakes..and heroin up this Orange Juice." |
