I disagree... I have told this to many people right here on FTE (on the phone)...

Quick story without many details... My wife use to contract a small painting company years ago for her business. The owner was always covered in paint and his van would always leak oil in my driveway. He did a lot of her clients homes. What I noticed in him was his can do attitude (really helpful when crunch time comes). I gave him 15 minutes of business advice, today he has a fleet of vans with tons of painters in his company. Last year we called him in to paint my house exterior and I couldn't believe the transformation (well dressed well groomed businessman now).

I really believe in people, if your a good person and are driven to succeed you will.

I tell people all the time, a landscaper can make more money than your average CEO.

I have 2 years of college.

I'm happy you were able to retire so young, and I'm glad you were able to make so much money.


But I sure wish the banks would spend a little less paying employees and giving their customers a tad more back in the form of interest payments. (no offense intended)

LL, If you need someone to handle coordinating maintenance and repairs just let me know. I'm a little landlocked right now but I am planning on moving to Maine as soon as the money is there. Maybe next year.

I gotta admit, the side profile of that headlight was amazing, but then the Mustangs ThIghRE caught my eye...it can make a grown man cry.
