The Czickness XI: Fulcrum Trigger Blues.

[Birds Away]

Good job, T-D. This will pay huge dividends.

 

[Birds Away]

Loading magazines now entails getting out a 350 round box and a couple of 50's. I might have taken the mag thing a little too far.

 

[Birds Away]

Especially since I only put 10 rounds in a mag for the range.

We will be downsizing the house. Whenever our house in FL sells we will buy one here that costs about half of what our current one does. We can still get a nice house for that price. Our current house is just too darn expensive. I have been reading a lot of financial books lately and like Travis we have a plan. My goal is similar to his as far as getting some land (20+/-acres seems ideal) out in the country a bit to live a little more freely. I'd also like to be able to retire comfortably at 60. It requires a lot of discipline but from what I gather having the money to do these things is mostly about discipline. Do what is smart and the money really won't be an issue. Easier said than done though.

You fellas are young enough to put these plans in effect and benefit from them.
At my age I am just running and gunning my way through the rest of my viable time. You know....pre adult pampers and all.......

I just had all the non-1911 mags out to be coded. Double white dots. Damn it there are a lot of mags.

It takes right at 4 50's to load the P-09 mags......

I need to shoot soon.

 

[churchmouse]

I need to shoot soon.

Me to. It has been to long.
I have this UBER sweet custom that I have not fired as yet.

You're not alone

I have a pretty sweet 1911 I got off a shady character that needs run hard and fast.

I gotta admit I was looking at it funny yesterday.

 

[RustyHornet]

I was having a weak moment while fondling it and the Remington Rand.

 

[RustyHornet]

Yup. I think it's time for a 1911 range trip. I should get a LH holster so I can wear both.

 

[88E30M50]

Yes. I can't believe it either.

My 5 month plan is to be rid of CC and medical debt.
My 6 month and on plan is to aggressively attack my 2nd mortgage.
My 5 year plan is to be rid of my 2nd mortgage, both car loans (wife pays one of these) and put the house up for sale.

End goal is sell our current house, then have enough money freed up monthly to allow a nicer house in the country with my own land to shoot on and enjoy the outdoors instead of dealing with the neighbors being right on top of us and their constant shenanigans.

I can't do any of this if I keep spending ALL my money on a never ending game of musical guns, optics, and gear.
I can however reward myself occasionally with a well thought out purchase of something necessary and fulfilling, instead of a price based impulse buy, also known as "too good a deal to pass up".

That's a solid plan Travis. It's easy to get caught up in the 'It's too cheap to pass up' deal. I've done a bunch of those myself, but in the end, I generally end up selling for a loss. Heck, I even had a very brief moment of that with that green P01 earlier today. Very brief. There will be plenty of time to buy stupid stuff to shoot on your own range down the road when you are on your own chunk of land.

Morning everyone

 

[T-DOGG]

Good morning WTB and everyone.

 

[RustyHornet]

Morning.

Not looking forward to work today.
