    I'm actually contemplating getting a newer car sometime early next year, provided I can find a second job/get full time at my store/have some form of decent, steady income. If the Canucks lose tonight, I'm canceling my cable to save myself $40 a month. Or however much it is...

    That's what my grandfather does as a hobby.

    I don't think he's ever finished one.

    I could never figure that out, either. But I've stopped trying to understand people.

    Watching a live stream of a hockey game is pretty brutal.

    Well, I mean a mortgage is debt I can understand. A 50" LED flatscreen, less so.

    Yep, I can completely understand getting a mortgage as it's understandable debt although house prices here were insanely high until very recently.

    My Grandad's worked on cars since he was 18, 59 now. He knows the ins and outs, but has gotten a bit too old to do the harder tasks.

    Like the tracking was out after he changed the ball joint.

    And the steering wheel was too wonky. He had to pay for it to be done properly, he said on an older car he would've just taken the steering wheel off and straightened it.

    Still better than $40 a month if you're only watching hockey .

    People like to buy houses that are out of their means. I'm inheriting my parents' house, and thankfully, it's completely paid off .

    £1.90 first class airmail, not tracked or recorded, so hopefully it doesn't disappear.
