shes been wanting a girl after 3 boys and I am giving her that. Doesnt that count for somethinghaystak wrote:Now she thinks my bike is "cute".My wife after much and long converations about having a bike realized how much it ment to me and actually told me to get one. Well I bought the first bike I ever wanted, it just took me 22 yrs. to get. She doesn't care for this one because it just a bike.(NH 750SC) She says it should have chrome and lots of it .This might mean i get the cruiser i want sooner.
I guess my ramblings is just to make the point that through communication and understanding you both in the end can have what you want .
sorry trying to make a joke hehe.Ok I had a car but I sold it because well with me working third and wife working second we never used it. it just sat in the driveway melting away so i sold it. so now all we have is the minivan wich I drive to work when she gets home (mind you she works part time so she doesnt work everyday). We have a babysitter come watch our kids for 30 minutes when she has to work till 10:30pm (she doesnt work that late every night) and I have to go to work. baby sitter comes I walk or ride my pedal bike down to her work (4 blocks away yeah I know she should walk but shes prego) and pick up the van. with a bike all i would have to do during the summer is drive it (unless its raining). For winter I am thinking of getting a snowmobile but the problem with that is I am in the city and its illegal to drive them in the city. all I would have to do, however, is drive the 1/4 mile down and I would be out of the city.
I have been wanting a truck but am waiting to get one because we want a new house first. We need a bigger one (4 kids ya know) and have been saving for that. $1500 more 2 go for down payment whoop lol. So with a motorcyle I will spend what $4000 ($8000 for the one I want but I am willing to go for a used one) whereas a truck I want is $35,000 before emplyee discount (the discount brings it down to $26,000). I have tried to explain this to her but she doesnt like it. However the more I talk about it the more she is "caving in" as someone put it on here on the second page. obviously with saving I would get a loan for the bike so as not to use my savings that i want to spend to buy a piece of land to build on (we have found it will be cheaper and better for us to have a house built than to buy a comparable size house that we need for our children). I could go more into why it is cheaper for us to build than buy but that is another topic in itself.
