Oldbuddie's Tips for Yuwie

Was the last 20 years worth it?

Compare your life today to what it was 20 years ago and tell us, Is it better or worse or about the same?

I can tell you without a doubt mine is WAY better!

20 years ago I was driving 50,000 miles a year in high stress sales calls, never knowing when or how much my next paycheck end up being after my employees all got paid. Sometimes I had to not only go without, but borrow money to meet payroll.

Now I have nowhere to go and all day to get there. My SSI deposit shows up in my bank acount and I don't even need to go the the mail box. Then I get payments every month on the office building I don't need anymore and make a couple grand playing around online. LIFE IS GOOD!

I have a deep sea fishing charter next Monday and a trip to California in November and plan to vist our granddaughter in Key Largo Florida December or January.

The only problem is when my kids ask me what I want for a gift and I can't come up with anything. If I want something, I just go buy it then, so it's not on the list anymore.

How about you guys?

Vic	I'm soooo much better off and happier than I was 20 years ago. My wife and I had just gotten married and I was working 2 jobs to try to save up enough money to come up with a down payment on a house. We did it 4 years later. Now I make double what I did then and I don't get dirty. Oh yeah, and my condo was 890 sqft & now my house is over 3000 sqft. Ahh, life IS good. Thanks for reminding me to look over my shoulder so that I can appreciate all the years of hard work, sacrifice & planning.

AUSSAGE...Y....	20years ago my life was much better, although i have met some special people since joining yuwie. it was also a much safer world, far less fears for the next generation. Still, there is that desire to make the next 20yrs my best yet....nice blog!!

Maureen	Twenty years ago, I had five young children. Now they are adults. And every second of being their mother has been worth it!
