no, but you can work half your life at one job. and save between 12-16% a week to put into a 401K, don't live a lavish life style, don't be upwards of 25K in credit card debit, pay off you cars in 2 1/2 years instead of 4 or 5, and then when you get to a certain point in you life you can do the things like I'm doing now,

and it helps to know a friend in the screen enclosure business, and I helped build it on the ground and set it up to the house and install the walls!!!!

and yes, you can hide money, and no, what they show in the movies and TV is totally incorrect!!!!!!

Steve... you crack me up! How's it going? How's the Job in MLB?

Well, I just ordered my 2.5" SS Magnaflow exhaust from Frank @ Prodigy. It should be here tomorrow! Brian is ready to install it. 90% of the wiring is done and we are real close to firing her up! Damn I'm getting anxious!! Yesterday was the one-year point of my "engine-swap" project.... will it ever end??

In this case the realtor knows what she has. Its hard to find a place on really good water. This is one of those places. I hope she cracks, but really dont think it will happen. Its one of those deals where we dont NEED it, so we just check in from time to time, hoping the owner gets frustrated and gets right on the price. If they dont, oh well, like i said, we dont need it.
