[QUOTE="Pro2A, post: 1890515, member: 17889"] Brother...!?!?!?!? You sound like we had the same dad!! :) :) And, I sure feel the same "missing dad." Noticing how he still gets smarter every year. My dad, and sounds like your dad, was part of the Depression era kids that became the Greatest Generation ever. Yeah, I've smashed a few finger nails straightening the other nails. Dad never grossed more than $28k/year from his primary job (I pay more Federal estimated tax quarterly)....always generated several additional income streams......but, lived a very comfortable modest life, and died a multi-millionaire. He sent me to engineering school....first in our family to graduate college. But, more importantly he taught me about money and cash flow and managing "Me, Inc" as critical, but renewable, expandable resources. Heartbeats...not so. Because of his mentoring and example, I don't straighten nails....or even drive them (although he taught me to do so well...built my first few houses...yeah, with Dad). And, with that engineering base, I can MacGuyver with the best of them. But, then there's that heartbeat thingy he also taught me, and his "Do as I suggest, not as I did." Thanks, Dad. Miss You. Save your lunch money. :) :) [/QUOTE]
