FWIW..I don't make a ton of money...just spend it wisely.

Guess what?..that $600K house ain't gonna get cheaper while you play with toys that drop in value.

First diesel was the 6.2 GMC when I was 40. Now have two work truck CTD's. One for site clean-up and the other for clean runs, bids and daily clean hauler.
Hired a 30 yr. old the other day, we were framing up an addition. He finally admitted to me that I just about killed him trying to keep up with me all day.
Guess when your used to hard work all your life, your like a Cummins engine.

Old but not the oldest
Waam here' Wife says I'am dirt, I told her if it wasn't for me she would be like leaves in the wind. 
I'll be 72 in Nov. Bought first Dodge truck in 1973 318 three speed. 128 tho. miles, one new radiator and four new or rebuilt alternators. No brakes or any other new parts. 1973 was the first year that Dodge came out with electronic ignition, which gave it a lot hotter spark. Have a good one. waam Holland, Mich.
