Need to pick a strategy to save money for the Bird.

Looks car related to me so here is my deal. I'm moving in apirl to a new apartment.

The apartment that I am in I get about 300.00 or less money to spare a month. Depending on the beer and food cost.

>the next apartment that I move into can save me 300 to 500 a month depending on how nice the apartment is. Looking for a 1BR, the good one is 2 stroies and the not so good one is 1 floor.

So what do you think

>get cheap apartment and put money in to the ROD!!
>live nice! and slowly put money in to the ROD

i would choose live nice and slowly put money into the rod, right now your car is really nice and dosent need anything major (paint job, rims .. exc) why pick up the ladies w/ a beautifal car and bring them home to a dump.


Edit: the pic in your sig dosent work, if you want attach the pic in a post and i will let you host it on my webpage if you want

You mean that those cans labled Keystore dont have water inside of them? huh sure taste like it Well I'm saving a little money on that, trying not to buy as much as I use to but when your 21 thats not as easy as it sounds. I would be the outcast if I stopped right now. Mabye when I settle down later like Hank Williams said would happen.

Or you could do what us college kids do, buy Busch Lite or Keystone lite. May not taste the best but once you get enough in you, it doesn't taste like anything.

Keystones are not that bad, High life really stands for hang over but there is nothing like a good old Bud. King of beers, WHAT ? because stone cold said so!!

Back to the topic though beer is a good topic...... Well what I will probably do is move in the cheap apartment for a 6 month lease. This way I can save money, pack that B!tch and throw a party, drink Budweiser, have one of the chicks that are to drunk to drive stay the night, build the 400 SB for the bird, hinder my boss for a raise then move into the new K!ck *** apartment. Sounds about Right?


<<<look 666 posts!!! Dont know about all that.

Key stone is about 13.87 for a thirty pack here in Texas. 15.01 with tax. Pitch in with some one and you get 15 beers for 7 bucks. better than a few 40ozs
