Too rich for my blood. Dang near 3 times my G3. And mine catches fish just fine, gets into really shallow water, gets on plane quick, and will go fast enough to scare the yugo out of me.

I don't see how people do it. I know they will finance them for a long time. But considering how quick a boat depreciates, how do they ever get ahead?
They don't. They also don't care. I'm really starting to think that those of us responsible with money, saving for retirement, paying cash for things and paying off any debt we have are the stupid ones.

Sometimes I wonder myself. I hate debt, drive old paid for vehicles, am saving all I can for retirement, trying to get my house paid off, and watching the rest of the country living on credit having tons of fun. I just hope I live long enough to get the last laugh.

It will be like student loans….. if we all get in enough debt, they will forgive it and provide stimulus checks😂 let's go Brandon!!!

But is it that effective for bass?
I am not a very good fisherman and I didn't target bass a WHOLE lot this past spring but I will say, from what I saw, looking at structure, points, whatever, the biggest gain is you can see in 30 seconds if the spot is holding fish or not.
Scan and move.

Talked to stretch about it and he said he was watching someone on the MLF and he said, "He just trolls with his head down and never even casts till he sees a fish."
I said, "yup"

With that being said, you still gotta get them to eat.

I got so curious how people are doing this, that I researched a couple good articles on it a while back and they fund their whole life with debt. Can't remember all of the specifics, but would withdraw equity from their house, when it went up in value, lease cars, and many were on pensions from teacher, state, or federal jobs with both couples on it, and did very well in retirement, while still making house payments and car payments without missing a beat. Others would run as long as they could, file for bankruptcy, and start over, and repeat. I am amazed when we are on a Florida vacation, how middle class families extravagantly spend, while we are camping and trying to save money.

Outrageous price on the Ranger!

My boss told me yesterday after she got off the phone " well I've got all 5 of my credit cards on auto pay, don't have to worry about paying them now " 🧐

I worked with a guy 20 years ago that did this. He would live it up on credit until the time came to file bankruptcy. He said soon after filing they'd start sending him credit applications again. He said if they were stupid enough to keep giving him credit he would keep using it.
