Just put the 2012 Zuma 50f up for sale on Craigslist.
Kind of a bittersweet moment. It was my first scooter, so there is a sentimental connection. However, since I got the 250 I hardly rider her anymore.
I've been meaning to put her up on there for a while now, but kept putting it off.
I'm selling her for what I owe. I'm not really expecting anyone to actually be seriously interested, but if someone does come along with the money, at least that will be one less thing taking space in the garage.

Good luck on getting the price, it is always good to get out of debt.

Thanks.
The payment isn't killing me, it's only $42 a month. But, it would be nice to be able to just put that in a savings account instead of giving it to the credit union.
You're right, being debt free is one of my goals. That and some weight loss. When I saw the pics of myself on the Hyosung I actually felt ashamed of how fat and out of shape I have let myself get.

Join the club. I had lost about 85 pounds, now have put 20 of those back on, I would love to drop fifty at this point.
Turn on to Dave Ramsey to inspire you to get out of debt. Pick up his book " The Total Money Make Over" or just go to his web page and look at his "Baby Steps" it will get you headed down the road.

I love Dave Ramsey. I used to listen to him every day when I drove truck, and have purchased numerous copies of his books as gifts for people. It's actually his program that I am using to get out of debt.
Beans and rice and rice and beans...lol

Don't go inside a restaurant unless you are working there!
Sell something until the kids think they are next.
Get a part time job.

I love Dave Ramsey. I used to listen to him every day when I drove truck, and have purchased numerous copies of his books as gifts for people. It's actually his program that I am using to get out of debt. Beans and rice and rice and beans...lol I eat three pieces of stone ground wheat bread, one ester "c", one "one a day" and a glass of orange juice for breakfast and stay too busy most days to notice till dinner, lost12 pounds, i am now saving money wearing old clothes from my youth , which were made light years better then you can buy now.
Dave Ramsey is a real helper to many, but i grow sad when i hear him tell folks to get a job when there are less jobs then people.he seems to work best for working folks tied up in dept many of whom make a lot of bucks and blew it badly.
this less jobs then people thing , who are trying very hard to get a job hopelessly, is only gonna get worse, as congressmen make more money sending manufacturing to china and as people live courser/harder lives from living with less, they will get meaner and meaner.
This meanness is already happening everywhere.
I got a 25 watt heating pad for my (butt) chair and had to drop thermostat down to 64 or sweat I sleep with one too, saving 40 bucks a month but living warmer WOW

With no gall bladder you should be eating a low fat diet and getting skinny.
