For Sale: Heart's Desire
today has been maybe the crappiest day of my week-long vacation yet.
i found out that my truck is only worth 8,000 dollars for trade-in value. (which i'm trying not to let it make me mad... stupid dealerships!) and i just put my harley up for sale on the tradin' post.
i've had it for a year. a year this week, actually and i will miss it. but, i just realized that it may make me feel like crap, but it's the mature thing to do. i shouldn't have to eek by just so i can afford a motorcycle i only rode less than four thousand miles in a year.
at least i bought smart and got a harley. i'll sell it for a little less than i origonally paid for it. so, i might have a couple extra thousand laying around. i haven't decided if i'm going to invest that, or pay off a credit card. paying off the credit card would the the safe route... but i could actually MAKE money if i started selling cars with my cousin on his lot.
money money money. that's what it all boils down to. at times, i wish i lived more simply. w/o so many posessions.
every time i get something "nice," i always think, "there... i'm good now. i don't have to spend more." but what i'm not telling myself is, "...for a while."
something else always comes along. if i started right now, i could come up with one thing i "need" each day from now til Christmas. and of course, THAT would make me happy.
the root of all evil IS the love of money.
whether it's hoarding all your money, or spending it to get "stuff," it's evil.
