Feeling the pinch...

Of life...

Well being 26 and a single father isnt the easiest thing to do. Couple that up with a job thats alright with mediocre pay and its a little worse...

Getting older has taught me many things in my experiences. The first is about money, you will always make more later.

I know some of you noticed in the for sale section Im looking to sell off my ARC 900.1D and large size power wire already. Which brings me to my next experience, life can throw you a curve ball at any second.

Last night we had a talk on marriage. It seems to be highly possible that yours truly may be getting married soon. Sooner than I ever imagined...

Being 26, looking at getting married- Kid, Wife and step child (Her kid- 15 months old) makes me look at this hobby a little different. Also in my age Ive strayed away from wanting a TON of subs and SPL and more towards SQ- which is the path Im on.

With that being said Im just reconfiguring my system as the goal has changed to an extent. Besides that I could use the extra funds to put towards our moving expenses and her ring...*gulp*

So what Im looking at for final is this:

JVC KD-AVX1
Rainbow CS 265 comps
Arc Audio KAR 400.4
1-12 or 10 Resonant Engineering RE Sealed fiberglass
8 Ga power/ground
Stock Alternator

The above is partialy what I have and what I want to go with. My experience with the RE RE 12 so far has been good. Its rather loud for what it is and its price. The box size is small as trunk space seems to be an issue for me since I put the current system in....

Keep in mind my life experiences:
Money, you will always make more later...

So eventhough Im downgrading now dont be surprised to see something larger come out of my deal later on in life. Especially when I start making big bucks :p

I hope all goes well and that you do get married eventually. May your future wife bring lots of funds to the household! :)

Well I have to say I am close to the same boat. My honda will probably be my last BIG stereo for a while. I am sure I will have stereos in all my future cars, but at 27 I am sure the blowing $$ cause I feel like it is almost gone. I can only imagine what it would be like with a kid or 2 and a wife around too.

and this, is why I'm still single. so I keep my nice car, and all of my toys, and still have enough money to buy food and clothes when I feel the need to do so.
I've done the abject poverty thing. It sucked ass and I don't plan to do it again as long as I can dodge it.

Well judging off all the nice expensive toys he has:

Buy an off shore speedboat and hit the ocean and come back home in about a year....

I worked with a guy that dated a nymph, he lost 75lbs in about 2 years, no joke (kinda big to start with). Kinda funny, but he got fed up with it after a while. He says it gets old, I don't believe him :)
