Like wise here!
I worked my ass off in high school, worker 40+ hours a week, minimum. Many
times 80-90 hours a week. I saved a bunch of money and drove a beater truck
for a few years. When I grauduated I could have bought a NEW Trans Am, and
paid cash, and had plenty of cash left over, but did I? No! All that work
gave me allot of respect for my money. I bought a used car and put myself
through more school. At any time I could of had a toy car like a Camaro or
Trans Am, but I liked knowing I was financially comfortable, for my
situation any way. When I was thirty I took the plunge and opened my own
bussiness, to bad to say I was not successfull, probably should have filled
bankrupcy. I tightened my belt a bit, lived off mac and cheese for 3-4 years
and paid off all the debt. What an education! Because of the way I handled
my debt, my credit is super! I have credit to burn, but I don't need it!
Years later here I am at 44, no bills other than a mortgage, and shopping
myself for a couple of toys. Been looking at a new Harley Davidson, and a
2000 or newer Trans Am may find its way to my garage too. Neat thing is if I
decide to buy the purchases will be cash!
Maybe I should put up a begging site too! LOL!
