    I agree, you may want to buy a house, but from what you've posted, you're not ready yet. List all your incomes, expenses, and savings and it may be easier to tell.

    Dave Ramsey, debt, credit cards, retirement, etc

    ING was the best option available in Canada at the time I started it. There is no minum amount for any account (some had a $1000 minimum), and I earn 2.7% (this varies with the Prime Rate). It is very easy to access the accounts, there is a 2-3 day hold on the money though. There are no...

    Dave Ramsey, debt, credit cards, retirement, etc

    I just set up 3 new accounts with automatic withdrawls in my ING account (no minimum, no fees, 2.7% interest right now), one for vacation, one for auto expenses, and one for toys. I already had one for an emergency fund, and one for taxes and insurance, kind of like a digital envelope system.

    Dave Ramsey, debt, credit cards, retirement, etc

    Maybe not for everybody, but I've been doing it for years and never had a problem. I always pay for whatever I've bought by the end of the week I bought it in. I would guess I'm up over $1000 in rewards which are as good as cash at the store, if it's too much of a 'risk' for you, then cash is...

    Dave Ramsey, debt, credit cards, retirement, etc

    If you had a good credit card, you could have paid that on your credit card and earned $20-50 in rewards, cash back, air miles..., then paid it back immediately and paid no interest. That is what I do, I try to pay for everything on credit, property tax, groceries etc., and I usually rack up...

    Someone please help me understand!!!

    I used to have a subscription to PWI, until they had an article in there about where the mirrors were, what a tow hook was for... It was supposed to be an into to your PWC for new buyers, I couldn't see myself spending another $80 to renew the subscription.

    Anyone else in the market for a turnkey built ski?

    I've noticed in the last couple years that there have been a lot less built used skis for sale. A few years ago, there were all kinds of fully built skis for pennies on the dollar, I don't know if they're lasting longer now, or people got sick of losing all kinds of money, but I'd like to find...

    The new Wamiltons Wammerjet 4 stroke standup

    If he's asking $45k for the Yamasaki, I'd hate to see the MSRP on this.

    Get Well Soon Crab!

    My calf was also about half the size, took almost three months to get back to normal. Did you have about 1/4" of dead skin on the bottom of your foot?

    Get Well Soon Crab!

    I did the exact same thing playing hockey this spring. 1 plate, 4 screws, 15 staples. I had one screw through the tibia to hold the fibula together, it was removed ~ week 6. They told me the same thing about the walking boot, if you can do it you have a lot more control that I did. As soon...

    Thinking of buying a CRF 450R

    The manual that came with my '04 recommended a new piston every 15hrs riding time.

    Wamiltons Platinum Edition!

    I would hope it is a good ski, but $18,500 for a "stocker with light mods" is way more than I would ever spend. Almost any ski is a "plate to plate barrel roll ski with the right person on it" just depends on the rider.

    Jetski Magazine?????????

    I have had a subsription to PWI for 4 years, and there haven't been too many articles worth reading in the past 6 issues. There is the occasional freeride article, but nothing like it used to be, the magazine is geared more towards the first time buyer (ie - how to use revers, where the mirrors...

    There was an orange metalflake SJ with black bottom up here in Ontario a few years ago (it had a 24-7 hood) and it was the nicest looking ski I have ever seen.
