I have no clue how to say this

I know it is incorrect to say 'feel' or 'notice it go by' but I am trying to convey the thought. Do you understand what I mean and how would you say it?

I didn't pay my motor bike in cash. I decided to pay in 10 installments of $100. That way I wouldn't feel the money go by. Had I paid 1000 I would have felt it go by. It would have hurt but 100 a month, you don't even notice it go by.

Thanks

I didn’t pay in full for my motor bike. I decided to pay in ten installments of $100. In that way, I wouldn’t miss the money.

  • I didn’t pay in full for my motor bike.
  • I decided to pay in ten installments of $100.
  • In that way, I wouldn’t miss the money.
  • Had I paid $1,000 at one time, I would have missed it.
  • I would still have spent the money; but at $100 a month, you don’t miss it as much.
