I,m not cheap i,m broke

Interesting, But so as to bring us all up to speed here, i haven't won the "Power Ball" yet so there's a lot of "WANTS" that will have to give way to the "NEEDS". Let me say this for certain clarification, I'm Not Broke. I do have a lot on my plate but in my mind that's how ive been accustomed to make things happen. I call it leverage. Kinda "Ya gotta spend money to make money" program. I eat what i want and drive what i drive because i dont like car payments and i have none. When i want to build a car, i build a car. Sometimes i have to wait to buy a part when i FEEL i can afford it. No harm in waiting for something you truly WANT. No one should do without the NEEDS to get the WANTS. That's ignorant and wont do nothing but get you in trouble. Several in my area think i'm rich because they see what i have aquired over the years. I am rich. I have two great children that haven't given me any trouble in raising them up and they are self sufficient and dont call me every day wanting a helping hand. I have a wife that loves me and believes as i belives and has the same goals as i have which makes for a very rewarding relationship. Several that think i'm rich have elected to not keep it in their pants and now have a ton of child support to pay some heifer to drive a nice car. That's called 20/20 hindsite. We all have a choice and some dont like paying for some of their choices. I have worked some very lucrative and interesting jobs in my tenure as a tax payer and have realized some travel and sat my foot in places that no man have ever walked on. I'm healthy and am more so than 99.9% of any 58 yr old. Yes i'm rich. I didn't say i had cash to burn and one should never relate riches to monetary issues...alone. Granted cash is KING in most folks eyes but most dont have a clue on how to take care of money if they had any. I see several here are either out of a job or have just started back to work. One can make money without a job. I've got your attention now. My step father was an auctioneer and the top auctioneer in this area for 30 years and in watching him, taught me the art of trading. I've seen some on here call it "FLIPPING". Call it what you will and set broke while you dont condone it. Whether it's buying a car and reselling it for a profit or buying a log chain for $5 and selling it to the guy at work for $20. That's called trading. I've always been under the impression that a good trader should be able to start the year with $1000 in his right pocket and if he's any good he should be able to end the year with $10,000 in the left pocket. There are ample opportunities in life to make stuff happen if one truly want to make stuff happen. Just an example, one of the wealthy youngsters in the area saw some of my home built deer stands. He wanted 3. I told him $700 each. I build em out of scrap lumber from some of my jobs. All i have is my labor in bulding them. I can do one a day. That's $2100 in 3 days. Granted it took me away from the Speed Chanel or i had to stop working on my car. That's life. Some set on the couch not only feeling sorry for themselves but also feeling sorry for he goofy ***** on the soap opera they're hung up on. On the good old boy comment. Some on here talk to each other more than other even though they have never met. Anyone that wants to chime in on any conversation here is more than welcome to do so. Not aware of any clicks. Hell for that matter even some of us Mod disagree with oneanother but that dont mean we are either in or out of a click. No cost for the advice guys and gals. Use it if you can benefit though.
