By the hour is easier on your body for sure. You never wanted to be rich anyways. Enjoy the day without any money.

Re: 1965/73 Cheap Build Up

I would never work for hourly. I made a lot of money being on commission. And after having my own business', I'll NEVER work for another person. (Except for the old lady) :uhmk: :haha:

I am with you there!
Once upon a time there was a homegrown movie made in Spokane called "Only a Buck" in this movie the hero interviews a hobo and asks him why he lives that way, his reply:

Quote:

"The only real life I have is the life of my brain. It makes no sense to turn that brain over to someone for eight hours a day for their personal profit on the assumption that I will get my brain back in an unmolested manner. I can choose to labor for someone else's profit, or I can labor for my own profit. I didnt need to go to six years of college to figure out that equation."

As soon as I wrap up my last 18 months of my Military career, I plan on fully engaging this philosophy (as you have) and living it to the hilt.
My plan is not to make more money when I retire, but to need less.

Tail lights look awesome too by the way.
I also have caddy lamps I am going to install, but mine are off a 68 Deville....

Yup, But it's hard to need less when you have been used to living high on the hog. Workin on paying off everything but the house. We only have a $500 a month mortgage, and that's a good write off. Then I can work on my truck full time. :metal:
