Topic: Can I afford it?

Who is going to volunteer to email Suzie Orman and ask her if they can afford to go Lemons Racing?  I already know she'll tell me no, I cant afford to pay attention, so maybe you have a better shot at Suzie's on-air blessing?

Re: Can I afford it?

the thing with car racing is that in general if you have to ask, you can't.

Suze Orman has written 9 books about getting yourself out of Debt.
I can tell you right now if I were to write a book about Lemons it would be called.

                   Getting into Debt! How Deep Do "You" Want to Go?
                      The "24 Hours of Lemons" Guide to being poor.

Re: Can I afford it?

'can you afford not to?'  is the real question

Re: Can I afford it?

Any attempt to use logic of any type to decide whether you want to run in Lemons is strictly forbidden.  That includes, but is not limited to, attempting to apply logical analysis to the folllowing considerations:
-Can I afford to do it?
-Do I have time to do it?
-What possible benefit can there be to doing it?
-How will it affect my marriage?
-How will it affect my health?

If you go into it with anything other than blind exhuberance and a huge, stupid, mindless $%#-eating grin, it may not be for you.
