Stop whining.
Did you not see the HUNT and FISH part... I'm a guy!!!!
Seems like people should be ASKING advice of him! LOL
not only can I fly it,,,, I can FIX it!
Incidentally, who’s gonna pay the Piper now?
I work a part time job 5 days a week and I was just cut back to 3 days a week. (4 hours/day)
It was so much fun. Every day I pinched myself. I couldn’t believe I was actually living in Nice. It was like a dream come true.
I have stable work.....unless I am injured....
we have a HELOC...we have no other payments except we do run a credit card but pay it off each month....not a lot in ready savings but a cd and some other stock if I got really desperate....the 401 has taken a hit but I won't touch that yet....
you know what I worry about?...if all hell breaks loose like Glenn Beck insinuates is coming, what about property taxes?....ours are huge...it would almost be like working only to pay the taxes....
and if the economy goes depression/deflation....nobody will buy our house....
its the taxes that scare me....
Great... that gives you time for a side job! :=)
Was Nice nice?
No worries mate,, MrPiper will pay his own way!
Exactly how I grew up = always a years supply of food, in the ground or cellar; milk, butter, beef, pork in the barn; eggs, chicken in the coop; meat, fish in the forest.
No credit cards (not heard of)
We didn't even know we were poor. ;o)
It was a good life. Reminded of it here today - ice storm knocked out power. Fired up the wood stove, heated water, made stew, lit the lamps -
See what I mean?
Excellent.
I see too many start a business by going out and buying new laptops, bookkeeping services etc. Signing up for various financial obligations before they ever make a dime. Self finance and build it up one day at a time.
Dang that sounds like fun.... can one rent a room in that kind of environment?
You’ve been paying unemployment insurance for 15 years. Why not collect?
If your house becomes worth significantly less theoretically your property taxes will go down with it.
‘Fired up the wood stove, heated water, made stew, lit the lamps - ‘
“Dang that sounds like fun.... can one rent a room in that kind of environment?”
It is fun short term. Not so fun long term...
If I ever have an airplane to break...I'll be certain to call you first for repairs.
Nice is not only nice, it’s lovely.
