Do you ?!?!?!?
Am I the only person that spends money on the jeep and find myself broke? I mean I have no problem buying food or gas. But I always find myself paying a few bills late and not being able to spend money on going out and shopping for clothes.
Just pulled the trigger on an ARB bumper and a few bills are gonna be late plus no spending money. lol
This damn jeep really does know how to get the best of me

not preaching at all just advice , late bills can get out of hand quick if you have unforeseen circumstances , most people always plan like everything will be as planned , i learned the hard way years ago to plan for worst case scenario and hope for the best especially with the way the economy is , again dont know your situation or anything just sayin

I have never considered spending on anything, (hobbies, etc.), until after the bills are paid, and I've saved any extra until there is more than enough to get the item I want. This way, what's left over in the account will always increase, barring any unforeseen expenditures.

Trust me, you're not alone. It seems every paycheck i get somehow ends up going to upgrades for the jeep. I also have another car and a mortgage, which tend to get in the way of my jeep purchases. Thankfully, i made myself a spreadsheet of what i can spend after all the bills have been payed. It just pisses me off when i can't get the things i want. Anyways, yea, i know what you're going through.

In my early 20's I bottomed out my account when spending on other hobbies. Definitely don't like doing that, and now have too many responsibilities to even remotely consider it.

10 years ago I pumped over $20,000 in mods on my TJ in less than a year. I was young, stupid, and had a large limit on the credit card. I am still trying to pay off that credit card and the TJ has been sold for 6 years. I never missed/late on a payment but never got out of the hole either. Got stuck in a Civic for the past 6 years (no fun) and I am just now getting back into the sport with a 12. Those TJ mods were cool for a couple years but eventually it catches up to you and you spend many more years learning your lessons.
My 12 will stay fairly stock until the tires go bald... Except what I can fab myself!

In all seriousness, It sounds like I'm in the same boat at JKbender... I definitely learned a lot through and after my years of spending frivolously. Now I'm stingy (ah, penny-wise) as all get-out, and enjoy driving a basically stock JK.
