Default just when i thought i had my addiction under control

i have been tring to stay away from this forum so i could save some money for a down payment on a house, and finish up some other projects. the other day i came on here because i wanted to get my truck to stop better, next thing i know i am buying a muffler and a cut out. not to mention ss brake lines. i figured yeah i guess i could give the truck an update. all of a sudden i see deals on lt headers so i snatched them up. then my trans breaks a band so its time for a new trans. while im at it i might as well get a bigger stall. now im hooked again. as soon as i start working more, and get this trans, stall, headers, ss lines all installed im going to be saving up for a cam and all the goodies along with it. bye bye down payment, hello fast truck. oh well im 21 maybe i shouldn't rush into a house so fast.

sorry for my rant

Lance

Honestly I have started going the responsible route. I am getting back alot of money for my tax return and its all going to pay off lonas/credit cards when I could have my new project almost done but debt free will feel better than 10s I think. Do what you must but wouldnt it be nice to have a house with a nice garage with all the goodies in it to work on your projects. IDK guess Im starting to go crazy
