This month hasn't started out well either, already $150 to Skydive Chicago. And none of this counts the cash used for gas, lunch/dinner, drinks. etc etc.But you know my (and half the other skydivers in the northern US) theory: Hey, no problem, I can pay it all back when winter comes and I'm not jumping as much!

mouth 0 #2 August 13, 2001 I don't see the problem here. It looks like my credit card bill too, except you need to show the new rig, main, reserve and cypres plus motel and food every weekend, so what is the point. As long as I'm eventualy able to pay it off... life is good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedRacer 1 #3 August 13, 2001 This is what is holding me back from skydiving as much as I'd like. I just can't afford it, and I already have about 3K on my credit cards (pluse there's student loans, car payments, rent, etc. ) We need to start a pyramid scheme or an internet porn site or something.Speed Racer"Come up to my lab,And see what's on the slab!"

Michele 1 #4 August 13, 2001 What's in my wallet?Nothing. It's monday morning and I jumped this weekend. How could there be anything left? I save the credit cards for groceries and utility bills.....ciel bleuMichele Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jfields 0 #5 August 13, 2001 Wildblue,You need to start a savings plan! I don't mean at a bank. Whenever you have any extra cash or can't jump, buy up some more lift tickets. This applies to winter, rainy seasons, holiday bonuses, etc. Just keep buying them even if you already have some.Then when the weather gets nice or you have time to go to that monster boogie at your local DZ, you dip into your "savings" and pull out a fist full of lift tickets. Bingo! It isn't the skydiving that will bankrupt you, it is the interest you pay on the credit cards when you charge everything.JustinFounder, Whuffo Conversion Team Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #6 August 13, 2001 mouth - new rig was on the month before that's bill. Of course, that one doesn't look so bad because I had the cash for it, so there's a huge charge and a huge payment on the same monthjfields - I've sorta done that before. But it's kinda like finding money in the couch (except it's jump tickets in the wallet/logbook) you think "woohoo! I'm jumping for free this weekend!" but then you remember you actually paid for them before Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chicagoskydiver 0 #8 August 13, 2001 I don't even use credit cards except for one gas station card I pay off every month. Every dime I've spent on skydiving has been cash.Hackey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodeochic 0 #9 August 13, 2001 Wildblue,You should really get yourself a rich girlfriend that can buy all your skydiving stuff for you. Or at least one that works in a gear store and can get you a discount on stuff.:)RC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodeochic 0 #12 August 13, 2001 Oh yes, how I could I forget to mention one that can pack? While you're at it, find one that's a rigger and can pack your reserve for you too!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenW 0 #13 August 13, 2001 WOAH!!!Have you're partner pack your RESERVE??? Not for me thanks! If so, just make sure you don't get into an argument about their family the night before a repack... B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildblue 7 #14 August 13, 2001 Ok, so let me get this straight:A girl who skydives, is a rigger, works in a gear store, packs, and is rich? Sounds like a pretty tall order! Know where I could get me one of those? I'd even be willing to drop the "rich" requirement if she was cute and liked to go to Dave and Busters! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 20 #15 August 13, 2001 OR if you could somehow find a girlfriend that is a rigger then the reserve repack thing would be taken care of too.Do I HAVE to do another raft dive??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites PhreeZone 20 #16 August 13, 2001 A good girlfriend would be cheap to feed too. She would just eat off of everyone elses plate. Yeah.... i want a girlfriend that is a rich, rigging, jumper that is cheap to feed and would give me a discount on new gear.... If I could find that then life would be great! .....Until I could find a girlfriend that is a rich, rigging, jumper,drinker (not at the same time as the rigging) that is cheap to feed and would give me a discount on new gear, AND is a pilot with her own CASA that I could jump for free...... then life would be great!!!!
