  • a card on the way!

    It hasn’t shipped yet but soon it will be on the way. A secure credit card. My first step in getting my credit up and ready for the bike loan. I know it will take another 3 weeks before I get it. Snail mail besides another week before it ships!

    Fingers crossed it comes sooner. i do plan to use it for just gas money to my current ride to work. Also plan to do smaller payments a few times a month so it looks better overall.

    Have tips on getting my credit higher fast? please share! Maybe I’ll do a post on your idea.

  • life gets better!

    My hours didn’t get better at my job but I plan to hang in there and keep trying to stay upbeat. I knew this wasn’t going to be easy. Granted I thought I would have more money coming in but that doesn’t mean I can’t do this.

    I can’t buy everything I want but then again I don’t need everything I want. I want a cool jacket but the class doesn’t require it. It requires a long sleeve shirt. Good. I wanted some riding pants but I can skip the $200 fee and go with jeans. The class only requires boots, helmet, and gloves which I will need to buy.

    Once I get the bike, I can buy the jacket and pants and that won’t affect my ability to get a loan as if all goes well, I will already have gotten.

    Now is the time to plan, buy only what I need, and get that bike!

  • The hard moment

    Moments like this are hard. I’m not alone. I know you, or someone you know has gone through this.

    My hours at my job got cut.

    I work hard at times and take advantage of the slow times. This time of year, most everything is done. In a month, I won’t get to sit down for the life of me.

    No, I can’t fix this other than wait it out. Hope we get busy, someone quits or something happens in my favor. Right now, things are not as they should be and I can only do my best even if no one cares or thinks much of it.

    If you are in this boat with me, nice to have you along for the trip. Post a comment and let me know your tricks for not getting upset or showing how bothered this all is to you. I would love to know everyone’s take on a situation like this.

    I would change jobs but this pays okay and the hours have been good before now.

  • This is the journey!

    Today I started off with no credit, no savings, no path but that isn’t stopping me from the dream! What is the dream? It’s a bike, it’s the open road, and it’s traveling Michigan this summer. Maybe your state, next summer?

    The dream. It is to travel. I have wanted to do it for a few years and every time it feels so far away. I can reach out with my hands but my fingers never grasp it. That changes today!

    In the next 3 months, I plan to get the down payment, savings, a secure credit card, and the Honda ADV 160. I am going to do my best to get the loan I’ll need for it. 2025 brand new! It’s under 5k so its not a far away, never gonna happen dream. No, this one is real!!

    If you want to help with the loan part but not the goals I have set for myself by all means head over to the go fund me page. https://www.gofundme.com/f/a-struggle-worth-fighting-for-can-you-help

    You can do it now, or anytime until I buy the bike. This way if I can avoid a loan, YAY!

    So the cost break down is simple. The bike should cost about 5k, with a down payment of around 2k. That will leave 3k. Now the go fund me page is only set to 2.5k so I might need a extra $500 but I can do that. No need to ask for more than I need. The cool thing is if anyone helps out, it means my loan will be for less and that is always a good thing.

    So sit back, relax and lets do this!

  • The Art of Connection

    The Art of Connection

    This site is going through a massive change. It will be a blog which may or may not get used. I need time to decide. Instead of pleasure I’m afraid you might just find boredom mixed in with the letters forming simple words and sentences. There may be moments of spark and active posts or there may be this one post. This one moment where I cared enough to write out my thoughts. Either way you are here. You are with me. I know it doesn’t feel like much but in times like today, it is the minor moments which give us the greatest memories. Is this one? I dare not say. Spoilers, my dear. You can’t have those. Where is the fun in that. So Now our connection, our moment, this post is over. Are you sad, happy, meh about it? Or does it truly matter? I mean, will you even remember this post months later or will it always be that one moment, that one connection that leaps into your brain like a bad song on repeat. the post that never went away.
