I took a very long break last year to due money shortage. Now I'm back in school and rc funds take a back seat to educational costs.

If I didnt have this I'd have about nothing that excites me...Maybe im new or maybe my life sucks...
The economy blows lets face it. but this takes me away from all the BS politics and economy situation for a few hours I guess,

How many of you have recieved a cost of living raise lately? The money hungry businesses of the usa are whats killing us. They charge more for their products but don't pay the employees who make them. I work with guys that have not gotten a raise in 7 yes7 years. I was due in dec. Nothing yet. I really can't blame the goverment for my boss or your being a money hungry you know what!

at least you don't have to adjust the carbs on 2 yes 2 pro mod 502's for the bosses boat. I asked him one day how much gas it used .........his answer - 2 gallons to the mile! race fuel! must be nice. He sat in the shop one day and one engine wasn't running right and got pissed and pinned it untill it threw a freakin rod. Then walked in the office and ordered a new one. I went and pooped in the corner

....Talk about wastes of life. This country has become that. Its the greatest if you're rich, its not so great if you're not. The income gap is large, there is really no middle class anymore. It makes me mad to talk about that so I won't.

I think if you spend smart, and don't live beyond your means, then anyone can save up money. I just believe in money well earned is money well spent. Well, most of it anyway, you need some for emergencies, or future purchases
