We STILL have extra to share. We said FU to debt for the last time. That has also allowed us to say FU to jobs at different times that were making us ill. We figured out that our poor-fit jobs weren't making as much money as we thought after we figured in the extra doctor visits and medication costs. All those digestive issues were expensive!

I made a lot of money, but working for that bastard and quietly taking his constant abuse in exchange for money is one of my few regrets about my past. He used to tell me "it's the sh*t for money rule, I pay you and you take the sh*t." But I had kids with high expectations. Once they were grown and gone, I retired. I have far less disposable income now, but I doff my cap to no one.Harry Flashmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05071021900005041592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1937170202895477126.post-51914421652922001962015-01-03T00:13:53.534-05:002015-01-03T00:13:53.534-05:00It is amazing how many people think I have a lot o...It is amazing how many people think I have a lot of money because all I do is piddle with this or that .I am still wondering if people fear or just don't understand those that can get by without a 9 to5 job.
