Well I did a thing, I'm not sure about

[C.Read]

The market for commercials about Tues is off the charts right now. Advertising tonight alone about "well folks tomorrow is Tuesday..." I bet I saw 14th of em

PB11 is gonna be laughing all the way to the bank beeotches!!

I myself invested in a new line of mouse traps

The guy "Curtis" from Curtintex industries said "I've almost got this barrel peanut butter trap perfected, I just need 2000 more dollars"

I said "hellay yeah! Sign me up!!

Something tells me that $2K would be buying a hella lot of McRibs.....

It’s better to give than to lend! Both cost about the same!!

And Rita and I never make a decision especially financial, without discussing it first.

Anyone else singing Tuesdays Gone? Ok. Just me.

PB you must have a heart 3 sizes too large. I wouldn't have made the same choice you did.

We rode to work together today. We spoke. My concern was quite simple. My thought was my money my way.
His thought was his company his way.
So we reached a simple agreement
I expect to be repaid in 24 mos.

It's a hand up not a hand out.


As far as getting my truck in fighting shape.
She has some wander going down the road. My guess is front end needs attention.
Tires are wearing funny. Hi and low on edges. Suspension issue, likely shocks.
Check engine light keeps coming on. Code reader says 0430. Had a shop look at it. I was hoping it was an O2 sensor. They said it's a catalytic converter. They don't do exhaust.
Tires were on the truck when I bought. I've put 66,000 miles on them.
It's a 98 with 235,000 miles on it.
Wife's Explorer is an '01 with 325,000 miles on it.

This may not be the answer you were looking for but I would have put that $2000 towards a reliable vehicle or fix the ones you have.

Troy, is that you?

Buddy wants to repair/replace Commercial Tues on the side.
I fronted him $2k to get started. It's taken me 2 years to save this much. It was my nest egg. I had plans for it. Mainly to get my pickup in fighting shape.

He has no contacts in our area. Hoping it wouldn't go through but it did.
I'm nervous. Trying hard not to drive the ship from the back seat. I can see some issues coming up. Having 14th thoughts about this.

Anyways. Any recommendations on how to break it to the wife..

My thoughts are this... If he's expecting it to take 2 years to pay you back $2000, then he is setting his expectations too low going into this and that is cause for concern.

So, your money went toward a mobile tire service?

That is a tough business to be in, your bud would be better off getting service contracts with the local haulers for his mobile tire work. This will be the best way for him to get started and to have some sort of steady pay coming in. Before he starts doing any tire service work he needs liability insurance, it will only take one screw up and game over.

I agree [emoji1303]

An opportunity presented to give a friend a hand up so I choose to do that.

I'll get my truck fixed up, it's going to take a bit longer than planned, not that I had a definitive plan

My goal is 2 years. He said it won't take that long

I will every response in this thread tonight. Can't wait to get on it.

[Mertzon Man]

There is a huge demand for tues. Especially round ones. I think they would be great Christmas gifts. I would buy one myself if I ever get a round tue it.

Your tue funny GG!
LOL

If my truck was that age and needed all those repairs, and the lack of those funds could possibly be causing me to lose my transportation to my own income source in the future, my buddy would have to hand himself up. I'm sorry but my income for myself and my wife's well being comes first as does my emergencies funds when teetering on that kind of edge. No way could I give a buddy that money knowing my truck could break down any minute. I just got rid of a 19 year old truck I kept in immaculate shape so I have lived the constant breakdown worry. I owe it to my wife and kids (if I had some), not to. I can be a good friend in other ways. My wife's thoughts would be the same with her income. Hopefully you have another nest egg to repair your vehicles set aside as well somewhere else.

Did you invest the money or loan him money? 2k lent, and 2k paid back in two years is not an investment.
