Thanks for the lesson, Nemesis. I'm sure there are many people who could learn a lot from you. I have learned a lot about finances, but I need to put them to use.
And WTF is with this? lol

Look at it this way,
If you were having it easy at 21, with a wife and kid and one income I'd have to kill myself!!
26, single and very little money in the bank.
What do you do for work? If you're going to borrow money, why not use it for night classes in a skilled trade? Nothing like seeing a machinist pull up in a modded M3 to make you realize you chose the wrong career.

I'm going through some pretty hard times right now myself, which is why my TII is for sale. I make decent money for the bills I have, but I like to travel and I like to buy useless crap, so I've managed to dig myself yet another hole. I'm moving into a cheaper apartment today, so that should help a bit, but other than that, it's just going to take a lot more planning. If only I could stick to a budget...

not trying to bug you, but wouldn't that depend on the useful life of the machine?

yes, but since they never used it, because they were lazy, the root problem in the first place, it was like flushing the key machine money down the toilet

Baldy, I'd actually talk to your wife about how you feel. Don't let money get in the way of your ability to communicate with her.
She might actually be mad that you came to the boards before her with your problem.

Sometimes you think something is going to be a bigger deal then it is and it's nice to get some outside input, makes you feel a little better about "pitching" it to the spouse.
Plus it helps you organize your thoughts. If he had of gone strait to the wife he prolly would have walked in and said "Honey we're broke, I am depressed and I want to take a jump off the 5 mile bridge"
Now it will prolly be something more to the effect of "I fell short this month and I don't want to let you down, but we need to borrow some money."
....that seems like progress to me
