So, if you know us, or keep up with this Blog, you know we are broke as shit. One of the best things about being a grown up is also one of its biggest curses — you can do whatever you want… Well, I “wanted” a new computer system fully decked out, and I “wanted” a new motorcycle… One home equity loan later, and a few hundred smaller “wants” like cigarettes, eating out, and video games has run our debt up quite a bit. :) YAY! It’s the American Way, right?

Well, as with a lot of things truly American, we have a lot to learn. So, I’m stepping to the plate and trying to learn. I’ve since learned we need to get out of debt quick. To do so, we are making some sacrifices.

1. Selling my Motorcycle — That’s right. Selling my bike. I will miss Suzi (yeah, I named her… It’s funnier if you share the inside joke my wife an I have over this.. But you don’t so nevermind.) She’s in good shape, and I can get pretty good money for her I’m sure. I will get another bike down the road. Time to stop throwing a fit, and belly up to reality… Ahhh reality, how I hate thee sometimes.
2. Getting rid of Motorcycle Insurance — Obviously… That will save us some cash, not to mention money saved on maintenance, and registration.
3. Getting rid of Cable TV — This one doesn’t bother me much at all. Who cares about it, really? This is Heidi’s “Motorcycle”. She will have a hard time with this, I’m sure.
4. Getting rid of Netflix — I don’t think we will miss this as much as I think, but it will be missed for sure. We will be back on Netflix when we can afford it.

So, there it is in a nutshell. The latest round of sacrifices coming our way in the name of financial reorganization. Ain’t life grand? :)

PS: Anyone want a 2005 Blue & White Suzuki GSX-R750? ;)
