This is my reallity. It is tuff to make ends meet sometimes. I had to take a second weekend job as a waiter to afford my house. At that time i was working 90 to 100 hours per week. But I was investing my money into a house, so I did not care.
Rich, you are a smart man. You don't bitch and complain. You are making smart decisions, and making the small investments that some on this site scoff at. You will enjoy the rewards later in life, while the libs who bitched about social security reform are working in their twilight years. Nice going.
