[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have decided to sell our stupid boat. The first couple years we had it we used it constantly, it was so novel and fun. Now it’s nothing but a pain. We spent so much initially purchasing the stupid thing, barely used it the last three years, and had to make costly repairs last summer after an incident the one time we did use it (not covered by insurance, of course.) We spent about $30k on it new and will be lucky if we make $5000 (it’s old.) The worst part is we spent close to that making repairs last summer, so in reality, we will break even. But we have to get rid of it before something else breaks and/or the $1000 in storage fees are due. It was a horrible financial decision we won’t make again, and are trying to frame it as a $3000 a year hobby that we’ve enjoyed for the past decade. But it’s really hard to accept. How can we get over this? [/quote]

An old boss gave this advice to a young colleague who barged into the boss's office while we were having a chat, and excitedly announced he proposed to his gf.. "Why Todd? Why? If it flies, floats, or f**ks, rent. Don't buy!".  I guess a boat is covered by that advice.  [/quote]

where'd you find that gross piece of advice, stall in the mens room? you troll.[/quote]

You can't hide the truth!  Accept it![/quote]
