well i "try" saving money for a trip to Japan next year plus money to move out on my own....


too bad that savings goes right out the window due to this damn site . I figure why I'm young this is my time to shine and spend money like it's my job (while i don't have to worry about a morgage, kids, etc.). Hey I'm keeping the economy going...

To pay off the repairs to my well. The pipe broke at the pitless adapter coming off the well pipe and going into my house.

I'm saving for next year's tuition and a trip to Jost van Dyke, British Virgin Islands in 2008. I'm taking my bro to the BVI for a week for his HS grad present before he goes to med school. I don't make much, but my education and the prospect of a week of scuba and snorkeling in paradise are good motivation tools.

A 3 car garage with new slab/patio/driveway. Right now I have a 30 year old 2-car garage and a small brick patio that my S sits on (covered) for winter. Kinda hard to maneuver around when shifting the 3 vehicles.

Would love 1)heat 2)insulation 3)good shop lighting 4) subpanel 5) wash basin with plumbing and floor drain 6) loft-type access to attic space for winter storage.

That's what us married thirty-somethings save for. Now if Mr Dow Jones would get off his arse and help me save "faster" I'd be happy.

Mostly, I'm saving for a downpayment for a house with a couple acres. After that, either a motorcycle or an S2000. My wife is actually amenable to me getting a bike immediately, but I'd prefer a house with a garage so I can keep my car out of the weather and actually wash it on a regular basis.

Aside from that, maybe a new computer pretty soon - it won't set us back TOO much.
