Well here we go... I have 7 homes free and clear and rent out each one (lowest valued home is 103,000 tax value) I have nine automobiles all paid for. The home I live in is paid for and is valued at 188,000. I live on approx. 23 acres of land which is paid off. My wife still works part time as a physical therapist(three days a week.) I retired in November 2002 at 45 years of age. I was an Avaiation Electronics Engineer(BSEE) I worked for Boeing Aircraft Company(Formerly McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company) We have over six figures in the bank and are just starting to enjoy life. I also have 1733 shares of Boeing stock not sure of the current value. I saw my dad work until he was sixty-five and retire... he then died three years later. He had plenty of money but never got to enjoy it. I decided to do things a little differently. It may seem as though I have alot but each day I still think.. Do I have enough? Not to be greedy but I was just raised that way. Odd I know, I live comfortably and really have no wants..I stay busy maintaining and managing the rental properties. I also enjoy fishing and spending quality with my wife and family. BoB

 

Man, sounds like you have everythink under control. By the way, that stock is worth $89.12 per share.

 

I'm not dept free at 31..... so was going to counter the boast by asking; Who has the highest Net worth?

Never mind now... I think I'll lose there too.

I gots to find a sugar momma!!!!!

 

Uh . . . dude . . . have you trained them or are you just expecting them to do something on their own?

You've got some serious potential there if they're the right kind of goats. There are no performing goat and/or goat reality shows on TV right now. That's good for you. Get them goats trained to perform. You can host a variety show (when's the last time you saw one of those? I think the last was Carol Burnett. The variety show is due for a come-back). Call it The Raoul & Company Comedy Hour. CBS would probably buy it.

You can't just wait for things to happen, you've got to make them happen.

:santa:

 

They need to be the Fainting Goats though....

Come up with new ways to scare them for the show...... the best in that video is when he opens the umbrella and they all fall down, add some audio of some kids singing ring around the rosie and it would be twice as funny. I could watch that over and over.... that is great... I gots to get me some of those for my own personal entertainment. The more the funnier!

 

Aside from the monthly utility and grocery bills we have just a house payment here.

 

Debt free is for wussies...

Buck up and be a man damnit, get into debt...

7 homes and 9 automobiles? Well if you say so you must have won a huge f’n lottery to have that at 45 plus 6 figures in the bank, that or manufacture crack in your spare time…

 

 

NO.. Just decided to get an education, and a job making over six figures a year. I also have a beautiful wife that is career oriented (Physical Therapist) she earns over 80K a year. Besides her income she has many other attributes. Her profession is also rewarding as "If its physical its therapy" as for crack... I'll leave that too you. After all our prisons are full of innocent people. And from your statements you'll be there soon enough. At least you won't have any financial issues as you do not need money in prison. Its an all expenses paid form of living.

I was able to secure a very rewarding occupation in the aviation field. I performed software Development/integration in both the F-15 (Eagle) and F/A-18 (Hornet). As I stated I am not greedy and just because I invested wisely and was able to earn an above average income based on my abilities and education please do not be jealous. Continue on your path in life. Thats the great thing about America... you can be what ever you want to be. I choose success.. you, well with your talk of "wussies" "crack" and "buck up" its obvious which path you took. A mind is a terrible thing to waste... if you have one! Good luck in your future endeavors. BoB

 

I tried and failed.
They would rather look out the window than pay attention to what I wrote on the board.

And homework? Forget about it.
Everyday it was the same excuse, they ate it.

So much for homeschooling, I'm giving Public education a chance.
Took them to the schoolbus stop. Got them loaded after a small rucus.
I'm not holding out much hope. Ended up chasing the bus a half block yelling, "Don't stick your head out the window!"
Lot of good that did.

 

Typically funny Raoul post but for some reason the last line struck me as laugh out loud funny....good thing my coffee is brewing...

 

Ok, I can't take it anymore. This was meant to be a joke. Obviously a bad joke. No one flinched, raised an eyebrow or questioned my list of debt. Some guys must really be in deep. I'm glad I'm not. I have a truck payment..no where near that $850 a month a credit card I use only when I need to and just the everyday phone bills and sattlelite TV...I couldn't imagine having that much debt.

I figured you were just that broke....

 

Not to broke to give you 2 bucks for shipping...where shall I send it?

I don't question other peoples situations.
I guess because I didn't care for it when the highschool kid working the drivethru asked me;

"How come you always buy the Happy Meal and I never see you with any kids?"
