We all want things that will be useful to us in the near future. What are they and what will it cost you in the end? Gaming Computer + games + peripherals. Widescreen 21 inch monitor. ATS paintball gun and gear to support it. Admission to a few scenario games over the summer. Total estimated cost: around $5000 That puts things into perspective. Damn, I need to get money fast. -------------

Want, not need or have. Well... wants can also be needs. For example, paintball is one of the few things I have fun with anymore. I need to go to scenario games or I'll be bored with most of my summer. I guess needs would best be used if referring to recreational activities. Use your discretion. -------------

you could propbally pick up a good condition mini-14 at a gun show for less than $500. oh and right now all i want is to have my quad paid off, in the end costing me about $5,500. oh, and the ever popular world domination, which could cost billions. -------------

| 8800GTX and a new stereo for my truck. Probly around $1000-1200 depending on how much I dump into the stereo. Next weekend I'm buying one of those, just don't know which yet. Right now I'm leaning towards the stereo, I'll enjoy it until I sell the truck, where as the video card will be replaced in a year anyway. |

Right now there's really nothing I need or want to the point where I'm gonna blow much money on it... starting in two months my life is gonna be 'on hold' for about two years for various military stuff, so it's not the time for me to go picking up much stuff. The one probably exception will be a laptop, for academic, entertainment, and work purposes- I'll be in a couple rather austere places this summer... Most of my money continues to get invested these days though.

The only things on my list right now are a guitar and amp. I have an acoustic, but I find electric is more fun to play, and I want the variety. Hopefully tonight I will be buying a used amp from a guy. It's a 40W Peavey Envoy 110, I'm getting a really good deal. As for the guitar, hopefully I can find a good used one through classifieds, etc. I don't want anything crazy expensive... Right now I just borrow my friend's Squier Strat. A new ipod would be nice, but my 4G with a ghetto-rigged 10GB hard drive in it just won't die. Plus I don't have a job at the moment, so I feel very hesitant about spending $200+. My mom mentioned getting me one for my birthday though, so that's a possibility when May rolls around. And as for the comp, I would ideally like a new processor, more RAM and a new video card this summer, but it just depends on how much I'm able to make. Another thing I'd like is a better camera. Mine is so slow it drives me crazy. |

However much it would cost to buy out Todd and Mike Peverill: Several Million
Common sense to run the business at a profit while not raping the customers that would be my livelyhood: $0 Honestly, I wonder if with enough backing and good marketing, I could take what I learned from the shop in NY (which stood against Cousins successfully and still does to this day) and give Todd a run for his money. I'm sure I'd get bought-out in the end. ------------- <Removed overly wide sig. Tsk, you know better.> |

All the paintball guns I buy I make money off of. Don't ask me how I do it, it's an addiction.
That said, I'd really like: Resolute 1x racing shell, C2 sculls and riggers-$8,000+ New Longboard (don't know exactly what)- ~$250 New MP3/video player- ~$300 Laptop- ~$2500 Can't think of anything else.
