I'm far from an expert, but I would recommend spending the extra $ on something with a full suspension. Eating potholes @ 20mph is not very enjoyable.

This year I'm trying out growing chick peas in a small patch. I heard they can be dried like you get in the store or eaten green in the pod. -

I discovered that I was hooked pretty hard on finding the next funnyclever picture. I find that I spend time on this site "by choice" while on others it more like I have to pry myself away.
I know this is cliche, but The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up by Marie Kondo helped me a lot. I felt like I could never throw ANYTHING away and I was constantly living in clutter. I realized that my "stuff" is not just stuff, but its my future projects (I'll never start), artifacts from my past, gifts from family that I'll never use but still keep out of obligation, random bits and pieces kept "just in case", and so on. The book taught me how to let go of these attachments and regain control of my belongings. I read it over 10 years ago and I still find myself saying thank you to stuff as I toss it in the dumpster. I know this book isn't for everyone, but it helped me. Good luck on your clutter journey!
