“Sparring? Damn dude, that's badass. Is that in gym or something? I never get sweet classes like that… ”

Thats in the gym I go to. There are martial artists and cage fighter guys who go there and train as well… I get to train with em and fight em sometimes… mostly get my ass handed to me because usually I'm up against a guy whose in better shape and has more experience. Like this one time where this dude choked me out in under a minute. :(


======================
RANT OF THE DAY
======================

must save money… fast! I really really need to get me a car!!! Like I can get one tomorrow with 0% financing… sure…

But I have to worry about:

insurance - Under 25 so insurance companies can be just unreasonable. And I'm only a G2. Next year before I can get my full G.

gas - unreasonable prices. Cmon. wtf is $1.00 a liter!!! omg!!!

accidents - they can happen even to “good drivers”. And they can make my insurance skyrocket to a point where I have to just get rid of the car and cancel the insurance policy. Accidents might also make me end up in court, get fined, get demerits, etc…

accidental repairs - sometimes, car warranties have loopholes that theyre gonna say that a certain repair isnt covered in the warranty… some of these car dealers can be crooks I swear. And I'm gonna have to pay out the repair out of my pocket. Mechanics can be crooks too… and then wham… just like that $2000 scammed away :(


If I get a car tomorrow, I will have to cut down on other things… or maybe I'll be living “hand to mouth” where my paycheck is just burned out on the car and other living expenses.

And if I live hand to mouth… if shit happens and I dont have emergency money… I'm fucked. I can have bad credit, get into lots and lots of debt or get kicked out and become a bum in the street. :(

So… must… save… and… invest… wisely.

I'm looking AT LEAST a $20,000 buffer zone before getting a car. After hearing all the car horror stories from so many different sources.

Seriously, someone should make a comic about car horror stories.
