how did you find the drive to make money? How did you do it? May I ask what did you do? How do you keep making it? Your obviously a go getter too!!! I have alot of drive for the things I like. I love weight lifting, and I am a women so its harder for me. I wish I could put that drive into what you did. You sound GREAT and smart.
its a magic word its called ID, immigrant drive.
starving in a foreign country for years and years will do ya, if you dont learn the language you go hungry, make sense?.
when you get back here in america you work all day and go to school all night. hungry people lean people.
no club med no walkman no RV no color tv no cable.
different kind of creature. like my grandfather born here but then went overseas for many years then came back later.
rough rough.
america this is as good as it gets, you can make it here if you try.
happy labor day.
first congratulation thats a great task!! Now how does it feel?? So whats the long range goal? Are you proud? Are you happy? Tell us more about how you feel. Love to hear it.
No real goals, I retired to a cozy little house with a pool near Phoenix a dozen years ago. No sooner did that than an adult child moved home and made the place too small. Found a bigger place but someone offered me double what I paid for it two years later and I took off. From there an Apartment in California but the need for home ownership out weighed my happiness and I moved down here to Sierra Vista, 18 miles from Tombstone and less from Mexico. The weather is perfect here and as a Disabled Vet I can use the facilities at Fort Huachuca. The Fort is bustling and the economy here is too. My neighbor just sold for more than I paid 3 years ago. It's kind of remote, I'd like to be riding the trolley in San Francisco, but after 12 years of retirement I am still putting money away. I couldn't do that in California. I guess you could say I'm proud, and happy that I have been blessed with what I need even if it was not what i wanted.
ding ding ding we got a winner you got rep.
money = freedom
freedom = 80% of happiness
will you marry me with a prenup of course, I would not want you to only marry me for money. Im kidding of course, I think your funny. You made me laugh. Marilyn
Hey Boompa is that your view you get every day? Boy its sure looks nice. Does the kid still live with you? Are you alone? My mom just died and wondering if I should move closer to help dad.
My dad passed away a few months ago and I know my mom is glad we still live close. Evenings and weekends are the loneliest for her. We try to have her come to dinner during the week and then spend time with us every weekend.
Hopefully your dad has friends that know what he's going through and keep him busy.
You may be right about money not buying happiness but it sure does allow for more options. When you feel chained to a job because it pays the medical bills, mortgage and for food you realize the power money has.
I grew up with my parents always worrying about money. It is not a fun way to grow up. So when I think about money, I do not think about all the things I am going to buy, I think about the security of money.
Money buys freedom, which can lead to a much happier life. If you already have such freedom than more money is not going to do a thing.
Also, right now you are likely just very focused on the loss of your parent, etc so right now may not be the best time to evaluate the impact the extra money is going to have on your life long term.
will you marry me with a prenup of course, I would not want you to only marry me for money. Im kidding of course, I think your funny. You made me laugh. Marilyn
if you are a weight lifter that could be dangeous, i am afraid of domestic violence trends, beat up hubbies r us.
as to marriage with prenup an excellent idea but to a stranger not good, last time i hopped a jet to meet an internet cutie she was waiting in the parking lot in nashville, quasimoto.
