Seriously, my dad died, leaving me some money. Not a lot, just enough that I could get the body and paint done after helping out our 5 kids over the past 3 decades. Now, it's my turn and since I'm now 60.....it's time. If you have a stroke, even a small one, it'll make you think about what time you may have left.....with no guarantees of even one more day. I'm getting itchy...

Another important point for life....Buy all of the house you can possibly AFFORD, but make sure your vehicle is also a good one. It doesn't have to be a full-on ride to be all you need for your family.

Affording one of these, or any, toys is (or should be) on the back burner in your life if you have a family. We do what we can, when we can, IF we can.
