    With pics as proof. You can email them to me directly, as well as their phone numbers so I can call to verify.

    Are strippers really a safe investment though? I would go the escort route.

    U already got a lot of advice but here's my spin on it. DONT FALL INTO THE TRAP most adults get into... Which is Mortgage... Just keep doing what your doing, your earning a respectable living... Do this about 3 or 4 more times in a row and buy your land and house CASH in a state/county that has no property tax...
    -from then on your basically straight. Almost Any income will suffice at this point because the typical number one expense is done. No working until your 50 just to finally see the deed to your land and home.
    -going into college right away will almost give u a 100% of ending up with a mortgage and school debt and other types of debt like cars and etc
    -pay for your land and house CASH,
    -you can accomplish this by the age 25/26 at the pace your going
    -enjoy the LOW overhead of living on the road, that's the only thing really allowing you to bank 40k in one year.... Most people in America could not bank 15k after all expenses they put themselves into... THIS is the beauty of trucking
    -don't rush into women and a family. Just make your goals and accomplish them. You will attract who you need in due time. You chase down your goals and the rest will come chase you so to speak.

    These are my opinions man, you don't have to roll with it and I guarantee no results. Just speaking from experience... If you actually enjoy trucking then you could invest into a CASH truck like a little pre emissions truck AFTER you take care of the home and land. Make your own schedule and still do school if you really wanted too. If your smart enough to save 40k then you should be able to decide what's next. COA's course of action, pro's cons, cost benefit analysis etc...

    I married into a mortgage and debt on the other person, but did it with a glad heart. We used our prime earning years to pay off the house, lands, several vehicles in a row (Engine failures usually the cursed crankshaft bearing... Im waiting for the 4th engine to fail if it is not rebuilt with about 1200 dollars to pay soon...) and other bills such as converting to city sewer with 600 feet of commerical pipe at about 9000 dollars all done from septic and roof replacment, rooms replaced, entire electric replacec, enttire AC replaced etc etc etc on that ####### house.

    Because we were cash and not debt, we were very popular with the locals coming on to work for us. In exchange I cut some of our trees on my land to give to some family so they can stay warm a whole winter besides. And so many trees for so many winters. It's awesome what the land can do for you and make you help others freely when there is no debt.

    That was then.

    I fight medical billing now on disability. The key is living to where you are not in debt. THERE you can build on something however small. I don't consider myself downfallen at all. Im still with us and I aim to continue to teach and help as always.

    Keep doing what you are doing and follow your dream . Be cautious and read between the lines . I am in the Moving industry and 7 years ago started my own company and with in 3yrs bought out another smaller company and equipment . I run 2-3 trucks year round and at peak time in the past was up to 4-5 crews and trucks running . I tell anyone starting a new company or venture to always add 40% to 50% more capital than you originally thought and work like there is no tomorrow . Invest in your home and property in a favorable city and be frugal your first 3-5 years . Your in the business already I would stay with it , just my opinion . Good Luck and remember most of it is just good ol common sense .
