Hello how are you? My name is Ben Stokes and I was wondering is this the same kind of drilling that you would drill in Africa for water? I know nothing about this and I am with a minstry called C.L.I.C. Christ Living In Christians and we work along a ministry called kingdom drilling and they are needing a machine to drill wells. They know all about this stuff and I am just looking up stuff just to see if I can pull some strings.
Thanks for your time
Ben Stokes

Wow, I am always amaze with individuals like yourself who were ambitious and motivated and determine to do something. I am a motivated person, however I feel like I am missing something. I would love to have a mentor like yourself.

Well, you would be wrong. I'm semi-retired at the age of 46 after selling my biz. I goof on here between client contracts. And you seem to have a strange notion of how people with money live their lives. Read "The Millionaire Next Door," and gain some insight.

It really is. Because so-called millionaires who populate their lives with enormous houses, huge motorboats, etc. etc., tend not to remain millionaires very long at all.

Exactly. I love the MND book. Was a real eye opener and, if nothing else, will help the average consumer driven person feel a different way about frugality and its merits. I'm more likely to brag about the $3 shirt I'm wearing, that I picked up on sale at Goodwill, than I am the house I live in. Most of my financially secure friends are the same way. Sometimes we even get into good natured "my outfit is cheaper than yours" discussions.

When I see someone who outwardly "has it all" (big house, boat, luxury cars, etc.), I assume they are broke and one payday away from missing bill payments.
