Trying to be good.
I'm horrible at End Games. At what point do you decide to sacrifice the "good" pieces and start pushing the pawn? How should you do it?

You question explains why you're horrible at them. What on earth do you mean: 'sacrificing the good pieces'????

Well, it depends on the situation. Get some good endgame books. But a rule of thumb is that two pawns on your sixth rank becomes as powerful as a rook (in other words, a good opponent would probably sacrifice a rook if need be to stop them). If you can get two passed pawns together (especially backed up by rooks or with queening square controlled by a friendly bishop or knight) you are in good shape.
