Man, that kinda sucks. I don't know if part of it was somehow your fault or something, but I would hope they would give way more than that.

I tell everyone that it's good to have a few grand in cash that's quickly accessible (i.e. - not in a CD or something) for a rainy day. After that start investing long term or maybe buy something.

Sorry to hijak Chet but just wanted to ask Valpac,

I see you have RB springs and sways. I have Eibach springs and want to get the RB sways. Do you know if there are any negative issues with having springs and sways? I thought I read a post saying there was something messed up with that. But lots of folks have both springs/sways right? No effect on alignment but good for cornering etc. correct?

You'd be amazed how many people are never taught anything about that. And when it comems to investing, there is so much bad information out there.

I'd recommend to anyone that they read at least one book - "Personal Finance for Dummies" by Eric Tyson. I just picked it up on a lark when I graduated from college - by far the best 15 bucks I ever spent. It made a world of difference for me.

Another good one just on investing is "Common Sense on Mutual Funds" by Jack Bogle.

I'm 19 and I know how to manage my finances. $100 dollars a week for myself, if I run out then I'm screwed. I always put half my paycheck into my savings. And the rest into my checking account for bills

i overdrew my checking account a few weeks ago. the bank was so surprised (i have overdraw protection though, no biggie) so i quickly wired 5g into it.



according to my gf, i am slightly irresponsible when it comes to money.
