Fellow ck5ers (hand up not hand out)

We have been very thankful to get through the chemo treatments, it's still definitely a long road ahead.
After she finished chemo treatments and scan and tests came back clear we had what I guess you might call an early mid life crisis (I hope we make it past 50 anyway). We said Fack it and bought a clean 2010 camaro, we caught alot of judgement from some of her family over it (really pissed me off the way they made her feel about it but that's a whole other can of worms). Yea, we may have gone a little overboard spoiling our selves but we kept it realistic for us. IMG_20160905_111942751.jpg
 
Thanks to all of your support aswell as others you helped us get through tough times while she wasn't working and fighting corporate for sick leave for 7 months before that finally came through, thank God she has good health insurance!

Again I thank you all for your support! ( And just for the record no, we didn't buy a car with donated money, I can't make anyone believe something they don't want to but that's the facts!)
 
You know what man. If I donated money to ya. And you bought a car with said money. Awesome. Sometimes others forget those with major illnesses are still normal people. Others think it's enough for said sick person to get better.

But they forget while they were advancing in their career getting on with life said sick persons life stops.

And that's almost the worst thing about having a long term illness.

Good for you guys for getting the car!

I can agree with this. Assuming you guys aren't making terrible financial decisions (:rolleyes:), it means that you guys aren't drowning in medical bills any more. Which is a really, really good thing. :thumb: I'm glad I was able to play a small part in getting you guys out of your hole. I wish you many happy years of go-fast memories that DON'T involve more doctor's visits. :D

thank you! Hit the nail right on the head! Kinda what I told my wife when she was being chastised by her family over it.

. After we found out that she had cancer we decided it would be best to sell her new snowmobile that we had bought the season before to her mother who was ready to upgrade her old sled to get rid of that payment, we payed off the small note on the wife's car, the rest of our toys are fairly old machines that were payed for when bought, I daily my 86 ccdrw 4x4 (after I revived it to be roadworthy), so that leaves us with our meager house payment and regular bills. So really I don't feel that we live beyond our means.

We know that we can't even begin to try for children for atleast 5 years (and it won't happen on accident thanks to cancer), so the note will be payed off by that time.

Like I told the wife if we dont do it now it more than likely won't happen for a long time after kids so we kinda jumped on it :D

Neither of us have ever really had the means to buy such an extravagant toy so we rather proud of it and I think that's what really hurt her more than anything, rather than being happy that she was moving on with life and doing well she she caught hell for it, really pushed my buttons

Like I said before, getting outside the perilously expensive medical system is a really, really, really good thing. Being alive is an even gooder thing. Getting to the point where you can enjoy a go-fast toy is means you guys are killing it. :bow: :bow: :thumb:

Don't worry about what other folks think, keep your goals and priorities in mind and keep on kicking! :D

I hear that, I quit trying to make people happy long ago, still trying to get the wife to quit worrying so much.

Ok. To Mrs. Wifey:

Stop worrying about things that don't matter. Focus on things you can influence and forget about everything else. If it's not within your sphere of influence there's nothing you can do about it anyways. Worrying only drags you down, it never resolves any problems.

You need to look forward and enjoy the life that you have, you only get to have it once!

Sincerely,
Someone who admires both of you quite a bit. :bow:
 
After my wife was diagnosed with cancer we had to move in with my parents, I couldn't take care of her and work to pay bills. We stayed with them an extra 6 months to save up for a down payment on a house, then we bought a camaro. That was in '98, we are now on her third camaro. Going threw cancer you realize anything can happen and there might not always be a tomorrow. I think it's awesome you bought a car.
