 |  My 1 Year Plan
How does this look? I've searched around and tried to forumlate a "budget" of sorts, the order in which I want to make my purchases, and the expected outcome. Please tell me if I've forgotten any major costs. Motorcycle Fund Planning Guide version 1.0 FIRST STEPS: $180 - MSF Course $15 - License/Exam Fee GEAR: $150 - Jacket (Summer) $100 - Boots $65 - Gloves $150 - Helmet (Full Face) INSURANCE: $150 (month) - $1500 (year) BIKE: $7000 - 2007 Suzuki Boulevard M50 TOTAL (First Year) - $9110 Some prices I expect to be lower (such as the initial bike purchase, and the insurance quotes) but I don't want to plan low and find out I come up short. I did not include gas, because that's pretty much a given. I do not plan to buy an aftermarket accessories, unless I happen to have extra cash. The following year maybe... I plan to buy new from a dealer and finance, so REALLY it's not a $7000 one time purchase. But that is the way I am calculating it...as I want to save away money and have it THERE, instead of scraping for pennies because I thought I had more than I actually do. What do you think? |
