I am a big guy too (6-3, 190 lbs), but there are scooters my size out there. That is one reason I like the Kymco line. Their People S 200 model is about right, although they do make ones bigger than that. If you have never heard of them, they are a Taiwanese brand known for good quality. Scooters are everywhere in Taiwan.

I would love to be 190 lbs. Heck, I'd love to be 290 lbs...heh.

Oh, I didn't think of this earlier, but I would spend some to fix up our house really nice and refinance. We have an ARM but fixed for 10 years (7-8 years left) and I'm already getting antsy about it. ~~~Shudder~~~

gotcha. lose the weight, and buy the bike as a reward/incentive?

Pay down some debt. Buy another used car with good gas mileage to replace the gas guzzling SUV. Do some needed home repairs and basic upgrades. Put the rest into a savings account for now.

oh i'd totally pay off my line of credit too! then the remaining 5K would be to be invested in a Roth IRA. and I'd save $50 for gas and $50 for a nice dinner. oh, to dream!

It would make me stress a lot less about finding a job. I'd still interview and stuff, but I wouldn't be feeling so scared and anxious in the meantime. I'd also pay off those lingering Columbus bills that I think I'm staring to get calls for...

amyschiff · 05-08-2008, 08:32 AM

I'd pay off my credit card, give my parents some to pay off whatever they need, and invest the rest. Oh and maybe take a vacation :-P

p.s. Ronni I know how the job hunt anxiety feels! I didn't get a job for about 5 months after I graduated and I had myself so worked up and stressed out about it that I was a mess!

I would pay of my credit card debt and put the rest in the bank (for later use as a down payment on a home).

I would spend about half of it fixing up the house, and put the rest in the bank to invest later. Or I would consider adding a second bathroom, which would probably use up the whole wad.
