I'm going to do something I like, which will save money. Because of this, I anticipate having to spend money on something I don't like. Because of that, I've spent money on something I do like. And because of that, I'll also save money. | ||

Is the following chronology correct? 1. you've spent money on something you like. 2. you will do something you like. 3. you will have to spend money on something you don't like. Do the last "that" refer to this whole chain of events? to having spent money on something you like? Is the first "something" an action? Is the second "something" an object? Is the third "something" an object? | ||

Are other people involved? Does spending money on the objects mean buying them? Or acquiring otherwise which requires spending money? You have already bought (or acquired otherwise) an object, which will save you money in future, correct? If yes, will it decrease your bills? Will you be able to avoid buying something else? Will you be able to avoid paying fees or something alike? | ||

Will the bought object decrease your bills for electric energy? internet? telephone? heating? flat rental? flat maintenance? car fuel? other? Is the object (the one already bought) something you buy on a regular basis? something that most people have? something that will replace the older model you used before? something that one buys once in life? | ||

ah, ok, forgot about the third wheel. shame on me...my dad used to work for Lockheed-Martin, he taught me this kind of thing. (He also helped build the Hubble Space Telescope, and took me to see it before it was launched, when I was little, but that's irrelevant, I suppose) | ||

Is it correct that you currently have one vehicle, and you are expecting to take possession of another? And is the thing you have bought an accessory for the vehicle you already have?

RECAP: I'm going to do something I like (yet to be determined), which will save me money. Because of this, I'll have to spend money on something I don't like. Hint: I don't like combustion engines.

Is it correct to assume you don't currently have a car? Will you have to spend money on a car? Another motorised vehicle? On public transport? Will you have to buy a vehicle? Hire a vehicle? Use a taxi? Do you intend to use your electric bicycle to save money on car fuel? If so, before you do the thing you like? While you are doing the thing you like? In order to do the thing that you like? Is saving money the thing you like? (that would be a very circular argument) Is the thing that you are going to do a one-off thing? A regular action? An ongoing state? | ||

Are you going to live in the countryside? Are you going to live with another person? With more than one person? Do other people already live there? Are you going to live with your partner? Does your partner have a child? A pet? Are you going to live further away from where you work than you currently do?

Are you going to live in the countryside? Yes. Are you going to live with another person? Yes. With more than one person? Sometimes. Do other people already live there? No. Are you going to live with your partner? Yes. Does your partner have a child? A pet? Yes to both. Are you going to live further away from where you work than you currently do? Yes. Is the idea that when you do the thing, you will have to travel further on a regular basis so you are going to use your electric bike to avoid using your car? Yes. If so, does this mean that there is a reason we still need to discover why you are going to buy a car? If so, is the reason related to the other people? Yes, but you know enough for the ***SPOILER*** I'm going to do something I like: move to a house with my girlfriend. Her 14 year old daughter will live with us on alternate weeks, and we'll be getting a cat also. This will save money: on rent, it is very much cheaper than living in town. Because of this, I anticipate having to spend money on something I don't like: a car. I find combustion engines smelly and dirty. Because of that, I've spent money on something I do like: an electric motor for my bicycle. And because of that, I'll also save money: on car fuel. --- During the span of this puzzle, I've returned the electric motor (the kit had about a dozen different manufacturing errors, which is too bad because it was really fun to ride when it worked), bought the car (I could afford a better one because of the money I got back for the motor), and packed almost all our stuff - we're moving this saturday. I will buy another conversion kit for my bicycle some day, with the money I save on rent. Thanks for playing! | ||
