[QUOTE="mitchwi, post: 376247, member: 2063"] I have been following this thread without comment, except for my original post, and I have to say there are valid opinions and facts on everyone's side. With that being said, call it a blessing or a curse, but we do not farm for a living. My husband and I make a decent living, some would even say better than average. Whether good $ times or $ bad we live within, or below our means. We have never bought a new car, pack our lunches, etc. We enjoy farming.... but we need to watch the costs... if it cannot sustain itself at a minimum, then we will end the farming. I have not received a bill or bought something this year that is less now than it was 1 year ago, or 10 years ago. With increases of 10% to 400% on items the sustain itself is going to be more than difficult. I did not receive a 10% raise in my pay this year, I am hoping cattle will be up way more than last year...is this reality tho? I say more power to the CEO or the whoevers that can bring home 7 digits a year. I will do what I have to in order to survive and thrive. My grandma was a smart lady, and I will end with a couple of her sayings... "The more you make, the more you spend." Or how about her other one, which I really like... "It's not how much you made, it's how much you saved." This is the one I try my hardest to live by (financially). Michele [/QUOTE]
