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:

or:

http://powersports.honda.com/scooters/model.asp?ModelName=Silver Wing&ModelYear=2006&ModelId=FSC6006&bhcp=1 - which I would have triked out
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.

On the other hand, clearing out some bills will let us get a storage unit and clean out the garage so my car could actually fit and maybe even a cleaning lady 2x a month - lord knows I don't do it.
