Economy

We are on a fixed income. Part of going out on disability for us meant losing all of the credit cards. And not wanting to incur anymore debt doing the things that we need to do. So for us, we went from putting things on credit and paying them off to not doing anything that we do not pay cash for. We need to build a house, but luckily are capable of doing a large portion of the work ourselves, which is the good thing. Bad thing, building this house is going to take us a while.....but I would much rather have to take 5 or so year so to build this house than be in debt for thirty years....As to the car end of it....it will get done when it gets done. Not going to make any "set in stone" decisions to we get to it....No point in building a hard charging street/strip ride if the local track closes and we have to drive several hours to go racing...A question or two for you.....What are your plans for your life? Do you make a good buck? Enough where you can fund your "hobbies" without taking said funds out of retirement plans? If the answer to the second question is no, then I would say you really need to step back and take another look at things.....Nothing wrong with accepting the fact that you are just not in a position to have an expensive hobby....one thing that I am always amazed at is how some folks that simply can not afford to build a car will pursue it anyway....pissing and moaning about how pricey it can get. They will get to a certain point, realize there is just no way they can afford to finish it and end up selling it....only getting 20% or so of what they got tied up in it.....Or build a drag car with a plate....a 13:1 compression, 8" convertor 5:17 geared monster.....and they can not afford a truck/trailer to tow it....They then come on an internet forum and ask the foolish question of "how do I get my race car to the track when I can't afford a truck/trailer"....And even more comical to me is the fact that a good portion of folks will actually try to answer this question....instead of just saying you were a dumbass for building a car that needs to be towed when you have no means of towing it...Damn, I am rambling...need more coffee.....
