Quoted from o-din:Part of what got me here was learning decades ago to stay out of debt. Don't need anything that bad, that I have to borrow money to own it. No car payments or anything like that. Helps that I can fix almost anything. Some can't I guess. And, the more you make, the more they take. Keeping this house in the family for generations instead of cashing out so I could live at the beach has also proved to be the right decision.
I also learned to value my own time more than making lots of money for others so they can own a yacht or an expensive RV. Homie don't play that game. Working too many hours for someone else can wear you down.I've been sleeping on the couch for the last few weeks because it is the first place I hit when I come in at night and it is so comfy. Can't even see a clock from there. Just the sun shining in first thing in the morning.
I’ve come to the realization that working for others sucks balls, so I’m shifting gears(pun intended), I’m buying a rig w/tanker and hitting the road. I’m in an awesome spot where I’ll instantly have more work than I can handle. A little stressful at my age but I’d rather fail than to have never tried.
