Maybe if you spent less on you spent less money on smutty Suzuki stuff and Got a Honda you'd be fine?

I doubt I can DIY any more than I already do? Unless I grow tobacco?

yep it's like the theory of relativity;

bike = poor
kids = poor
bike + kids = epic poverty

Hmmm, so i'm not the only one...

Average wage or below in NZ = poor
Inflation vs average wage in NZ = no correlation = more potential poor people.
Taxation and levies = poor


My Flatmates are both on $35k plus per year and I wouldn't say they're financially secure. Sure they can buy bits and bobs here and there, but, buying a house on that wage isn't really a great idea these days, nor can they afford to save much money.
Logically I have two bikes to double the poorness whilst on the student "allowance"

Hang on that reminds me you had given up a few weeks back but I distinctly remember you chuffing away the other day.... what happened?

I tend to go cold turkey with not a single problem or craving for a few months, then I go buy cigarettes again for a few months...it's an interesting cycle. Or I need to buy bike parts/hookers, so I stop for a week or two. I seem to be able to stop any time and start any time, all my smoking mates are rather confused as I can be around them when they smoke with no problems at all whilst I am going through a clean stage.
I do the same with alcohol, I haven't sent money on alcohol in over a month (I do get it given to me though...) nor have I been properly pissed for a while.

I'm just that good, I also enjoy smoking (Tobacco, weed is for idiots)

Yeah well as an ex-smoker I know it's not easy, I found the gum works well. Been 14 months now without a single smoke. Lungs are still full of petrol fumes, paint and MDF dust (oh and plaster) but apart from that I'm healthy. Oh no wait I've got the flu... As you were

I don't tend to have any cravings whatsoever, I just decide I like smoking and start up every now and then give it a week or two and I will stop. I don't usually decide to give up, I sometimes forget my morning smoke or just don't feel like one The MDF dust must be doing interesting things to your lungs....
As for exercise I run 2km most days and have day/night weight/sit up routines, they don't change when I am smoking either, paranoia of the big belly disease helps that

The CB400 is being polished! Just waiting for the polish stuff to dry to it's hazy state and then the forks, headers and anything else shiny is getting raed with autosol It will be back to looking delicious again.

Sadly I have found a few paint chis in the tank and front guard, so I may have to get some more white
