I am an 18 soon to be 19 year old heading off to college. I have obviously lived at home for my entire life with no bills saving money working for the last 3 years. So really money for me hasn't been an issue but i am very very conservative/good at managing my money (been saving for a long time). I am going to be in college this fall and am just wondering how all of you budget/handle your bike and the things it needs/you want? The one thing i do love about these bikes, is that they are not very expensive (depending on what you buy), but when you do need/want something, how do you go about doing it? Do you just pay off neccesities first, then use the spare cash to buy your stuff? or do you have a "bike budget" of some sort? I am just trying to prepare myself for my future and life on my own/budgeting money. I really appreciate ALL input and tips.
