Default Ads at top of page?

Are the ads at the top of the page for Nitto NT05s or NT01s for you all? I'm on a Jeep forum, why are they advertising sports car tires? I had a set of the NT05s on my Camaro years ago, I was satisfied with them. Not complaining, just has me scratching my head every time I log on the forum.

I get where you're coming from but read the fine print at the bottom of the home-page, full version (don't know if it shows in mobile-version).

You believe it's a Jeep forum but it's actually an affiliate-marketing site for the owners (IB) to (hopefully, to them) earn profits. And, if you're really savvy at it, it does.

Yep, and It uses rotating ad API software. I have seen ads rotated into that which have absolutely nothing to do with cars at all. lol

Yes, the idea of saving itself is becoming a lost concept unfortunately. We live in a debt-based economy where the can is just kicked down the road, oblivious to the consequences.

And it's such a simple concept. Do you actually NEED it? or do you just WANT it?

"I'm broke all the time!" well... A little basic common sense and will power would help with that. lol

I didn't think this was such a deep subject.

I hear what you guys are saying. I feel like a real rebel. I'm 32, and debt free (with exception of mortgage, but it's very comfortable), have 3 months salary in savings, and trying to figure out what to do with my monthly surplus. Best part, wife quit working to stay home with our daughter. We don't go without anything of value, I have a good job but nothing too crazy. It takes discipline, but is easy once you start living like that.

I'm with Tbone. Although the little box up in the corner indicates that there are supposed to be 9 of them on this page.

Very well done... Kind of rare nowdays. Practical financial management. This is hardly ever figured out until one starts a business, this will teach you real fast. lol
