Car/bike value ratio; or where do your priorities lie?

**Jay GTI** · 19th February 2012, 15:11

Been backwards and forwards to the UK a few times and have had to sell up each time. Previous time I came back to NZ, I spent $14k on a car, $5k on a dirt bike. This time I spent $14k on a dirt bike and $4k on a car. Definitely got it the right way around this time.

I haven't owned a car in four years. It's been a brilliant lifestyle choice. Cars suck up a lot of money that could otherwise be spent on bikes.

Do you have a lucrative career, or are you a kept woman?

Just an unusual situation I guess.....

I make enough, he makes a fair bit, and since the property is freehold, and phone/power is paid by one of the businesses we have bugger all expenses.
Means life is now pretty fun

Also contract a few IT contracts and do a bit of webdesign when there is work for particular clients needed to be done.

All right, post a random favourite from your top ten. Two random favourites, even.

(Just remember, if you're going to embed them, they need to just be 640 x 480 - you might want to link instead.
