Oh My God, It's Too Easy To Spend!!!!!!

[MacB]

Just been working at expanding my cycle clobber and adding some bits for my bike builds:-

new forks, headset, bars, 3/4 bib tights, SS jersey, wind/showerproof, shoes, Arkel Tail Rider rack pack.

£340 just like that and my 'still to get' list is a heck of a lot longer than the 'just got' list above

I'm going to end up at the cycling equivalent of AA at this rate

Yep - who ever told you cycling would save you money - they LIED



However I usually feel that I get good use and enjoyment of that money.

£340, your not trying hard enough. If you really wanted to you could do much better than that.

Ianrauk and Paulus, I'll print off your posts to show my wife, when I negotiate the spend after the fact this evening, I know I'm just asking for trouble

Use paypal, get stuff delivered to work and gradually introduce it home

Tell her you need to did into the household budget at least once a month to purchase various cycling paraphernalia, tools and clothing.. it's not only important to have the right tools to service your bike but to look good on your commute also.

like your thinking FFFF, my 'still to get list' comes to about £1200 at the moment and that doesn't include my potential for impulse purchases. That alone added £63 to todays bill.

I should have been looking at break even, spend v savings, around the end of 2009, I'm now pretty sure I'll never live long enough to see break even

Doesn't sound like you'll make it to tomorrow if you confess all tonight!
