I don't like being the grown-up

Last week I got a disbursement from my parent's trust.  I thought it was every 6 years but turns out it is every 3 years.  There are 4 more payments due.

This money could have bought me this:

For the record, I have driven the top one and really really wanted one.  I have driven (well technically, on a bike you ride) this triked out.

But no.  I did the grown-up responsible thing, I am paying off and closing down to credit cards.  That will leave me w/ 2 credit card bills and one line of credit from my bank.  I want to extend my line of credit to cover the two remaining credit cards.  I am only keeping one credit card open just for car rental uses.  Money is in the savings account, some of the money is going into a 9 month cd.

If the bank will extend our line of credit, we would be completely out of debt in less than 4 years.  The cars get paid off in 2 years, 3 more years for the bike.  

I can't imagine.  There would still be money left over (even after putting 400 into savings each month).  Sqeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

I don't like being the responsible one.  Meh.
