I always think pay off your debt first.... I chose A and then you will be able to save the money quicker to do the rest.

well... I know I'm putting the majority of it towards student loans. I'm not too worried about them from the point that they are low rates and tax deductable. We essentially have not CC debt, paid off monthly, save for a laptop we bought last year on one of these 12mon @ 0% deals.

I need a new camera, because my beloved Olympus C-2100 UZ that I bought in college died on me. It served me a good 5-1/2 yrs of solid regular use. See photography is sorta a hobby of mine, I usually end up being the impropto photographer at all my friends weddings, etc.

As for parts, I need to buy the front springs (as i have the rears in the attic for 9 months now), I just purchased the 60mm throttle body and AEM used. I think im going to do the rear strut tensioners just b/c they are such a cheap mod. The box style intake I've got a inside on getting one made, then the cost would be offset by selling my Magnum intake, so the net cost wouldn't be too bad.

Vacation... well I just threw that in there... my wife and I actually took a long weekend on the forth of july to DC, and we are going for a long weekend next month to the mountains with her family. It would be nice to take a weeklong cruise though...

My dad and my wife both say that I should buy what ever camera I want and treat myself, as I know that I will use the hell out of it, and since I had the car for so many years, the money should be used for something other than just bills.

Oh, side note: Last night while out to dinner in Myrtle Beach with my family, what do I see ... a 1988 300zx SS... shit, I had only ever seen one other previously in all the years I owned mine. Go figure. ... man I do miss her... hearing her turbo spool up, the sound of her catless dynomax custom exhaust, shifting her tight notchy T-5, drifting her in abandoned parking lots, schooling pesky civics... *sniffle sniffle* She will be missed. Gone but never forgotten.
