But I have an urge to splurge... =x credit cards are bad.

How do most of you folks out there afford a $24K+ car and mod it? Maybe I just suck at managing my money. =x

my gf gave up on me after I was robbed after we moved to san jose (long story, pphuck dis place!). Didnt have the home owners insurance up when we were robbed so I went on a shopping spree to replace items lost. TV, computers, DVDs, CDs, extra PC hardware, speakers, and a bunch of other ****. =(

the money making skills I could bring to the table is probably dime a dozen. =\
If anyone needs PC repair work done, system upgrades, new hardware installs etc, let me know and I will do it for cheap, cheap, cheap!
Plus I know Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, Windows, LAN & WAN networking, SQL databases, PHP, Perl.
I can help companies with spam filtering, security audits and all the stuff a full time network/system admin can do.

PM me if you need any of these services so I can make some money to mod my car.
