I really dno't enjoy making jackass observations but I'll have to make one here:

If you're going to have a car, always have 2k or so stashed in savings because with cars, it is so goddamn common to get into [censored] that I don't even dream of owning a car without having spare thousand or two.

You get into an accident, you bump someone, someone smashes your windshield, you need to change breaks, you need new tires.

List goes on.

I find that there's people who know how to manage money, and then there's those that just don't.

You've misunderstood me my friend.

As i said above, I have 12 grand in savings, and i was raised well in terms of money management. This post is moreso just to discuss the variance experienced in day to day life. The upswings and downswings of poker are really just microcosmic of life.. maybe all these things make perfect sense to you older folks, but for someone my age I'm just learning to deal with these ups and downs now.

Thanks for the response though.
