tsk, tsk, tsk...such an attitude. Sounds like you are doing good...why are
you getting so upset when I am pointing out common knowledge? Anyone that I
have asked about contractors has the same complaints as me, so it seems to
be a pervasive problem. Perhaps someone should pass some truth in
advertising type laws for contractors so everything can be compared
apples-to-apples. I was complaining about my bad luck with contractors. I
am stating logical facts and my observations. It seems like I have touched
a nerve. Perhaps you are haunted by nightmares of ripping people off?

Sorry Steve, You need money to make money. I will likely be retired by
30 and living off the stock market.
I have money. Last P&L statement was $3.2 million. And that's not
counting the living trust where most of the family money rests. I am 58,
and have been retired for two and a half years now. I own property and
real estate in three states. The stock market is a sucker bet, so, I am
content to get from 12% to 25% on first trust deeds, placed through a CFP
I know from high school days. I netted $72k on that last year. Then,
with income properties, pension, and other income streams, it runs about
$180k a year with HEFTY business deductions.
Last year, I had to pay the big total of $7800 income tax. I drive a $38k
new Dodge truck, which I was allowed to totally deduct last year as a
business expense. Almost every lunch I eat, all the gas I buy, and every
meal I eat at a restaurant goes down as a business expense.
I travel a lot. I go to Mazatlan, Maui, Cabo, and fishing a couple of
times a year on the Kenai. I sleep until I am ready to get up. I own
ATVs, boats, and so many guns I don't have count. I have a fully equipped
1500 sf shop. I camp and fish and do photography. Life is good.
How you doing?
We can all talk about what we're GOING to do. I'm only interested in
what's REALLY happening.
You're not going to believe this, but then, I really don't give a ****
about clueless twits like you.
With your attitude, you'll smart off to the wrong fellow, and you'll be
worm food. I doubt if you live to be thirty.
Steve
