we can fix stuff, install stuff and even sell stuff!
We are not physicians! Gotta have insurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
side work.............. haven't done that in years.
side work is a game of odds, kinda like a B19 driver in WW2. eventually your number comes due. with today's quality of products, and lawyers suing a whole conga line, it ain't worth it.
i can lose what little i have, even if i am innocent.

I'd have to find something.
Heck, I'd open up a 'phone-a-tech' line and take calls at $3.95 a minute to talk hacks through fixing stuff if I had to. 
About the only other thing I'm cut out for is teaching.
I think I'd like to do that at some point down the road.

Next step is to start living beneath our means and we'll be doing fine.
we haven't had a credit card bill in years............... just keep buying too much crap.
had to buy 2 pc's recently.
every time you think you're done buying stuff so you can put something away............ whammo!

don't know how the formula works...............
if you send in 1 extra principle payment a year on a 30 year, supoosedly that makes it a 23 year loan.
i've been doing real good the past 3 years.............. don't see the numbers dropping as fast as i like.

We just pissed off a bunch of CC companies.
We had been carrying balances for years. Knowing it was the wrong thing to do, but not having the money to fix it. Just paying what we could afford to pay, always over the minimum, but never paying off.
We hit a windfall that I think I mentioned a few months ago with the gas and oil rights on some property that we own.
That paid off all of our CC debt, paid off my truck, and gave us a bit to save for an upcoming bill we can't avoid. We will have to tie into public sewage within 18 months.
After we paid them off, we cancelled all but one or two cards.
I think that we kept the Lowes card for home improvement projects and another card for emergencies and internet purchases.
All other cards are GONE.
