That sounds like a PJ story. You're not related to PJ, are you?
Is that a bad thing or a good thing?
And FYI, if you’re wondering why I even have a computer and the internet right now, it’s because I’ve figured out that the internet saves me a lot more money than I spend on it(20 dollars a month) based on how I can find jobs easier on the internet, use the local transit to get to places easier and to win items off of ebay or craigslist that would usually cost me more money. That’s another thing that keeps poor liberals poor. They never know how to judge the value of an object like conservatives do.
I think it’s my son, who did things just like this all through HS and college. At one time, he had a candy route on the school bus with markdown candy he bought somewhere that I forget just now.
We have always been self-employed. What’s unemployment? We don’t qualify. I taught my son by example: have many strings to your bow and know how to shift your weight. He has a real 9-5 job,with benefits, even, at the moment and still does some small, part-time gigs, just in case. His wife has two jobs. They are the definition of frugal. They took a huge 401(k) hit. But they own their home and have a paid for vehicle. In their mid-forties, they not only have never taken assistance, but they are the ones who do not ask for family help from either side.
TypeZ, I applaud you. Except for the vegan part, but everyone has their own taste.
