Am I too poor to go on vacation?
I currently make 8.25$ per hour and drive a 2001 Honda accord. I have 20,000$ in student debt because I didn't finish college. I want to take my son to Jamaica. Should I? Also, I have 500$ saved for emergency money that could go toward the plane/boat trip there and back.
Meanwhile in America. Haha
But seriously, vacation can just be as simple as just sitting back and relaxing. Do you like the outdoors? If so, camping is a pretty affordable way of 'getting away from it all'.
Yes
Hi Chase- no I don't like the outdoors very much. I want to go to a beach in Jamaica or Florda. Any suggestions?
Don't forget that you'll need money to spend while there. If the total vacation takes all $500, and maybe if you will be able to save $1-$2 out of $8.25/hr in the future, that's 250-500 hours of work just to get back to where you are right now.
With a 17 y/o car, you can expect 1 major repair per year which will take about $300, so don't blow all your emergency $.
No no one ever is i wish my mom would understand that
Do you have family in Jamaica or would you be staying at a hotel/resort?
Either way, you need to save up more but if you're staying in a hotel, you'll need a lot more than just $500. Either take your son somewhere a lot closer than Jamaica ( camping, as already mentioned by other answers, is a good idea ). Or continue to save up money so you can afford to pay for the trip in cash. Do not pay for the trip on credit.

- Poor pick up on my Honda CD125K? I'm in the process of restoring an old honda CD125K. Bike doesn't have CDI, and runs on points. I have changed the oil, fixed a new carburetor with a new air cleaner, new spark plugs, etc. But it has very poor pick up on the 1st gear… Engine revs very well but the pick up is really bad. How do i improve this?
- Is this 600cc too much to handle? I used to ride my 80 then 125 alot when i was younger but I haven't rode a motorcycle in years. Now id like to get back into riding and i found a 1995 honda xr600r that is street legal and an overall nice bike in my price range. I'm just curious if this bike might be too powerful to relearn on. I'm 21 6'5 and 215lbs so i figured i would need a big bike
- Am I too big for ninja 300? I'm 6'3", and I was looking at buying a ninja 300r, Honda cbr300r (when it comes out), or a honda cbr500r? A lot of my heights is my legs, and I was just wondering if I would be too tall for a ninja 300.
