You weren't that worried about gas prices before- you decided to buy a jetski when has was $4.09 per gallon, prices are falling to almost historic lows. Why worry now?
Why worry now? Two reasons: 1. This will only be my second summer not working, so I need to be smart with budgeting. 2. As a teacher, I can only afford the things I do because of #1. Ultimately it's a cost vs. finances vs. enjoyment equation.

Since I need to pull the ski after use (I don't have a slip to keep it at), it'll already be ready to roll. When doing the math above and thinking about the extra time spent, however, it doesn't appear to be a worthwhile trade-off.
