Where is best (cheapest) place to get Scorpion helmets?

[shaykai]

Do me a favor and post or e-mail me about your helmet when you get it. I'd like to know what you think since i'm thinking about getting that same one.

OK, I should say inexpensive...  Better?  I've seen a lot of reviews all saying these helmets are equivilent to those costing twice as much.


Rashad - I'm a cheap bastard, I admit it.  Hey, $5 is lunch.  

Maybe that is why I retired (well I work part time 15 hours a week because I need to get out of the house) at 42.  If you subscribe to the lifestyle that the marketers are pushing (buy buy buy, get it NOW, buy it on credit, low payments) you'll NEVER get to really retire.  50% of americans have a net worth of zero.  That's right, they have a zero balance.  They may own a lot of things but they owe just as much.  How many live paycheck to paycheck?  Take out loans for a vacation?  Why?  Because they think "what's $5", big deal.  Well it adds up.  Quite quickly.  But, so does saving.  Start small and slow and before you know it the bank is paying YOU hundreds even thousands a month.  It's nice to get "free" money.  Try it.

Sorry, got carried away...

Ok first of all, i was messing with you.

That being said, I know many people retired in their 20's.. YES a 27 year old retired, strong 6 figures... 18 year old who will never have to work, just finishing college... another guy and his wife, early 30's 6 figures...

Has NOTHING to do with clipping coupons. If you wanna use wal-marting it as your crutch for quitting your job... DONT.

Now, i respect you for being smart about money. I also am glad your well educated and understand that 80% of the country is broke and senseless. The 80/20 rule applies heavily to everything.

I  understand what your saying, but making money is more my mentality, then just saving it. If you build an income like Ray Kroc, or Sam Walton, you dont need to clip coupons... now how would THAT feel?

Dont take me wrong, i get carried away too on subjects im passionate about.

By the way, most people dont even have a net worth of zero.

If you owe ANYBODY ANYTHING, you are a negative net worth. Look at yourself like a business.

Agreed...

Sorry.  Didn't know you or your background.  Just wanted to help.  

My kid is like those people, just doesn't care, acts like "oh well" it's just a few bucks.  Spends $5 a day at Starbucks $1250 a year.  Buys lunch every day another $1250.  Eats out a LOT about $5000.  It adds up.  Whereas if you save that $7000 a year for 20 years it's $140,000 plus any compounded interest.  We're looking at $250,000 +  Over 30 years it's $1,400,000 plus interest.  Imagine two million bucks just from making your own coffee, lunch, and dinner.

See that kids...  Don't throw away your money!

You make some excellent points

I have one question though..

WHY does every post that i get involved in go way off topic?

sorry... :mrgreen:
