Buzzter. I retract my mean little reply as well. Apology accepted and I'm sorry, too!

Ain't this great?!

You're probably targeting the wrong crowd. I'm not exactly certain but there aren't too many 20 year olds on here, probably average more in the low 30s?

Besides, even if the 20 year olds were on here, they wouldn't know how to listen.

But okay, I'm listening, shoot dad..

BTW, 22 here.

You’re thinking teenagers. My brother use to have a sign that looked like a roadside type of sign that said:

“Hire a teenager NOW while they still know everything”

All in fun, I was a teenager once myself, and listened about 20% of the time, the rest I thought I had figured out...

I am 23 and have two trucks, both F-150s bought brand new with with less than 10 miles on the odometer. I have my first truck I bought in my sig., and I just bought my 2003 Lightning on Friday. The first one is paid off and the L payments are well within my means. I do all the math before I purchase something, and if can't keep putting money in the bank then I don't buy it. I set limits for my self on what I plan I putting in the bank to save. If I go and buy something and I can't put at a minimum $500 in the bank after all expenses or bills and stuff then I shouldn't buy it. I like watching bank accounts that grow and not ones that remain stagnant or slowly reduce in size, and I also have an emergency account that I can tap into in case something goes wrong. I have always been extremely proud of how well I manage money, and I think I am damn good at it. My first job I got when I was 15 paid $5.50 an hour and in three years working part time I saved up over $15,000 I think thats pretty good. I wonder if I would be able manage money for a living?

Sometimes it don't matter on what plans you have for the future and what type of person you are as far as saving, the right girl comes along and it's like learning to walk all over again...

Buzzzzter, that is real good of you to write an apology letter. Most people wouldn't have done that. Well done.

I look forward to more insights into the finance world of the auto industry. I have learned some hard lessons and only wish someone was there to teach me before hand.

I've seen your other posts online and think you make a good fit here at F150online.

Thanks again
