If I want something, I work for it, rather than HOPE i get it someday. Trying to get that one through to my nephew who HOPES he gets LUCKY someday...rather than working for it. Lol. I know if I work for it I'll get it and hes not convinced of that yet. If it seems hard, he just decides he will never get it and lowers his expectations rather than rise to the challenge. Sad...I'm trying to set an example....Lol.
I'm also single and dont have children so I dont have to bargain for the things I want and no ones doing without.😊
My truck is a small reward to me from me for all that I've done for others around me. This is the first big thing I've ever done for myself. For the last 20 years I spent all ive earned trying to buy happiness in a relationship, then fixing my mothers house. I'm done with the relationship and moms house is good. Now its ME time!!!🥰
Hey I'm the same way, I'll wait for big parts, small stuff I will just get one part one week, wait two, so forth so forth. Don't let up on your nephew it'll pay off soon enough.
My parents separated when I was like 5, of course things are tight. which taught made me to wait for stuff and have goals. One of my life dreams is to own a 1999-2001 Nissan skyline. I'm not picky and going for a GTR, I'll go for a GTT (6 speed, turbo, RWD). they will become legal in 2025 so I have time to save a nice nest egg and get one imported.
