UnkieT,

So I'll be getting a very large check here very soon from Financial Aid for this past school year. I'll be able to pay off all my credit cards, buy books, and still come out with around $1k.

I really, really want a rode bike. I know it's a decent investment if I buy used, because I can likely sell it for what I bought it for.

But the side of me who seriously hates being in debt, and hates payments, and hates never having any "cushion" money--the one who's trying to be more smart about his money says save it for a rainy day. (I DO need new rear tires...)

Thoughts?
You're young. Save it. Don't get things you don't need until there's steady money coming in.

If you know that you'll need rear tires soon, this is a no-brainer.

Oh, and Rode makes microphones, not bicycles.

We had a very nice chat. . . very pleasant; and she was happy to see me.

However, she appears to "suffer" from various forms of "memory loss." In other words, she's already re-written or conveniently forgotten some pretty important past events.

Frankly, if I were to move, hers may not be the first number I call. . .

Try not to use hackneyed expressions, but knowing full well they're actually looking for hackneyed expressions.

Listen to the questions carefully.
