Today, my husband used our last $2000 to buy himself a motorcycle. It's supposed to "save us a lot on gas money." FML

Actually, I ride, too. A bunch of my buddies did some back-of-the-envelope math and concluded that provided you don't go for some gigantic liter-sized road sofa that gets under 40mpg, yes, a bike is cheaper. Back when gas was $1-$1.50 a gallon, it wasn't, because any gas savings would rapidly get eaten up by the cost of replacing tires and drive chains. But with gas at $3.50-$4 or more, it works out.

He is right on that account. But the medical bills will put you further into debt. Rule is, you buy a bike, be ready to crash it.

I own 3 bikes and no car. I do just fine. And it costs me $20 in gas a week to go back and fourth to work 50 miles a day. You'll love it.

It'll take some time to realize $2000 of savings.
