Almost 5 years ago I bought (with the help of my wife) a 1953 Piper
Tripacer. I still remember the initial reaction in the Piper mailing list.
It was typewritten laughter and comments such "THAT'S not a plane."

It's all I can afford, and barely at that. Often when I have had maintenance
questions, I was chided for taking the cheaper option, even though it did
not compromise safety in the least. I've found that there are many,
especially in the aviation world, who just do not understand living on a
shoestring.

The only real idiots when it comes to credit are the ones who apply for
every card offer they get and max them all out while paying minimum
payments, if that. I work with a guy who did that. He was filing bankruptcy
and getting everything reposessed in a year or 2.

Yea.. I think that I am done with this thread...

I have tried my hardest to explain to people that I understand what they
are
saying and that I agree with them, but unfortunately, they can't
understand
that some people are not able to have cash laying around and in an
EMERGENCY
have no other choice but to use a credit card.

But you are right, I think there are 2 or maybe 3 people here than
understand what I am trying to say and then you have the jerks that have
never experienced money problems and treat anyone that doesn't drive a
Mercedes and belong to the country club, keep their Barron at their house
at
the airpark and go to the Playboy Mansion for parties like crap. These
guys
just don't get it...
