TygerCub's Project

Keep your head up kiddo. What is tough now in a few years turn out to be the best thing that ever happened. I know we've all had things like that in our lives. Peaks and valleys, and all that jazz.

Well, BOB's gone to a new home.

A nice young man named Steve bought him this afternoon. He and his friends hope to turn BOB into a party bus and NASCAR tail-gater. I wish them the best of luck and loads of fun!

I'm gonna miss that hulk of metal.

But not the associated cost

Soooo...do you hope oneday to get another bus once the dust settles?

Oh yes! Most definitely!

I have to admit to being totally bummed about having to do this. But I also had to be a realist. There are a lot of things I've given up to make ends meet - television, eating out, movies, taking vacation trips and buying books/clothes/stuff. Oddly, after a year of this, I find I don't miss any of that stuff at all (well, I do miss the vacation trips, but not the other stuff).

What I find I truly miss is the freedom to do those things if I so choose. Having the money on hand if needed (or just wanted) gives one a sense of safety and security that's hard to give up. I absolutely hate this paycheck to paycheck crap. I'm not one to live in fear, but admit there's that 'back of the mind' voice that whispers evil thoughts of 'worst-case-scenarios' in my ear occasionally, and it gets old after a while.

The next step is to sell the house. Once that's done I'll be able to breathe a lot easier and try this again.
