[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1424357, member: 4362"] Herofan what is a fortune? The thing I've tried to stress to my children is there is only about 18 inches difference between a seat in a limousine and a seat on the curb. It doesn't matter how much money you have it doesn't take but a few small things to put your butt on the curb. I've made money from a lot of ventures. Some were real profitable and others were not so profitable. I really got on my feet when I bought a small trailer and started a landscaping business. I had the trailer and a shovel. This was the same shovel I used to turn my garden with. I make money with cattle and lots of other things. You were talking about buying a tractor. The first tractor I bought I paid for by doing outside work for people. A tractor won't ever pay for itself sitting under a shelter and work will just come to you if you earn the reputation that you will do what you say you'll do. There is a lot of work out there if someone is willing to pursue it and if you please your customers they will send more work to you. I turn work down now. Wish I was younger. When I was younger I had another venture where I'd make several hundred dollars a day and paid my help the same. It was hard nasty work but it was very rewarding to the few who were willing to do it with me. I've done about everything to make a dollar and don't do anything if its not going to be profitable because there I don't want to sit on that curb. I've been there and don't plan on going back. Even when I was at my poorest, I still helped people though. With the landscaping business I used to cut an old lady's yard for nothing but cookies and milk. She made some good cookies and they would always be fresh out the oven when I finished doing her yard. [/QUOTE]
