lol Things and situations change, go up-n-down, come-n-go. But, memories and love/family are whatās important. Iāve learned that much in all these years ā¦ and ya damned sure canāt take it with you!
Back 30+ years ago, when I was pulling in 250k-500k/year. With all that āmaterial stuffā I was up and gone before sunrise and not get home until our 3 sons were already in bed. This was 7 days a week. i had 2 heart attacks in 5 years. The doc looked at me and saidā do you want to be rich in life or rich in stuffā? It was a wake up callā¦ I sold everything and slowed down to enjoy my life with the wife and sonsā¦and ya know what? i wouldnāt change what Iāve had since then for anything!!

Got a house roughly $350k, the foundation is sinking into the ground. I built a sunroom of it and it has an double attached garage which all has to be lifted at the same time and the basement blown away, piles put down and it re-poured as well as under the the garage. Estimate of about $150k to do the work. Been debt free for years but had to take early retirement because of a condition I picked up due to work. A couple of bad choices, buying the house and taking the job, otherwise I would have been doing pretty good. So there!

That right there is pricelessā¦ Worth more than the rest of the items being mentioned, combined!
Actual possessions are anchors. When I lived on the island of Utila I brought 3 bags. Didnāt want for, or need, anything more. Mind you, 1 of those bags was scuba gear, 1 was clothing and personal, 1 was techy toys like my underwater cameras, hard drives and my laptop. But for the time I spent on that island? STILL think of them as my absolutely most happiest months of my life. Mind you, Utila is almost off the grid island living in a third world country. But I didnāt miss a thing. about the worst of it is the weed is shit, but its so cheap, you smoke it instead of cigs. That was the first place I ever lit up a joint at a restaurant after eating a meal, while still at my table. LOL.

When I slowed my ass down, I had so much fun helping to raise our 3 sons. The older they got, the more fun we had too! This was over 30 yrs ago mind you, they are 36, 35, 34 now and weāre all still very close. And oh the memories weāve built!
When I had 35-40 guys working on 5-10 jobsites, that in itself was enough to bring on a heart attack! lol
That 1/4 mil was after payroll, etc lol but then all that stuff and taxes on all that stuff ate it up, to make me work harder, to make more, for āthe manā take!
I damned sure donāt miss it!

They have only one goal in office, and it sure aināt āto serve the peopleā! Itās to see which one can line their pockets the best, at the expense of the people!
