I thought about getting rid of my DD (Grand Cherokee) however, financially it doesn't make sense. Especially since the GC has been paid off for some time.

I know that the price of gas is getting to you and I fully understand. I have to drive for work every day and the price of gas is getting to me and hitting me in the wallet. Good luck and enjoy your new evo.

I don't think he was saying that no work was involved. Ask yourself this. Had your father been a truck driver, for instance, would you be doing what you're doing now? While I'm sure you work very hard, and you should be proud of that, you have the advantage of a father in the industry who has taken an early interest in your future. Something that is not common. You've received a great deal more than a computer from your father. If you don't realize it now, you will when you are older. He's a good dad. Of course, I'm sure you know that already.

if you think my mommy and daddy or my rich grand parents are buying me ***** WRONG i graduated highschool when i was 16 (still suck at english though) went to college to be a computer numeric control specialist, and my moms ex huband got me a REALLY good job for SPX corp. you'd be amazed what you can do with money with a little research and the NYSE. dont assume stuff makes you look like an ***.
P.S. the name Big Shooter does not have anything to do with money. i like rifles and compared to my friends im a really good shot, it i got that nic name from them.

well sort of. i do operate machines (by operate i mean put the stock in and push the green button) if all of them are running, but mostly i fix them. the CNC specialist school is 2 years and im in school for electonics right now. i put machine operator cause thats the dept. im listed in. but im on the maint. tech pay scale. shhhhhhhh lets just say i know people, and ive kissed more *** than a toilet seat. plus i avg 60 hours a week.
so to sum everything up i have money cause im lucky enough to know good people, i went to school, i work my *** off, and have a really good financial consultant.

I'm not assuming anything. Nobody said you don't work hard. A trust fund isn't the only head start a person can get in life. I'm glad for you.
I'm 45
I live in a 800 sq ft Shack, nothing is paid for, I have NO savings account
(and I mean I DONT EVEN HAVE ONE) I owe 15K PLUS on the CC's, no retirement, no college fund for jr, no Big TV's, no fancy furniture, NOTHING.
And I owe 2 more years on the L, and 4 on the Mitsi-whateverthefktheycallit.
and I make a tad short of 90K
WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG ???
I guess living in the 10th most expensive place on planet earth dont help, but jesus h candy I live in a white trash neighborhood.
Hey Big, can you hook a brother up with one of those jobs
And forget the stock Market, I lost the only 40K I had there
