[QUOTE="ashleyroachclip, post: 15945378, member: 51495"] I have been poor so to speak , remember my first job at 12 Paid 2.10 an hour ..... Went thru high school , living on my own since 14. Minimum wage was I think 4 bucks then . Graduated , made 10 an hour , and took home like 400 a month . Entered the military, pay decrease to 3 something . Started buying Mustangs in the early 80's to supplement my income , and to have a nice car . Got out after 4 years , built everything from decks and swimming pools , to residential and commercial buildings. Make 60k plus , but hated the feds share of my hard work . Went back to a Ford dealer for a few years, not really my cup of tea . Back to construction , this time for myself as a sole proprietor, making 80k , until 08 crash . Went to work for another outfit , building bridges and dams in the forest for the power company's hydro plants, near work but too old now after an injury in 02 that broke my back , crushed one ankle bla bla bla , was making 70 plus , feds taking 40% . Everything I owned was paid for , and decided to get off the grid , go back to my Hobby , growing g weed , and light building . I have no stress , no neighbors , and enough to get by comfortably. Wife is not real keen , but she has what she needs , and accepts not having the latest and greatest . Uncle sam gets nothing out of my old ass anymore , and what I do have they can come and try to get it lol . Moral , happiness is not how much money you make , but how you make it and spend it . Look inside. Yourself , find who you are .the rest will come . [/QUOTE]
