O/O,what are your expenses

not a problem

 

$2850 a month, give or take on your truck payment and insurance rates. Fixed expenses. Own Authority.

 

2850.00 month in truck payment would bring tears to my eyes.....

 

Depends what that includes. My truck is $1100 (24 months), $1,000 for trailer (until the sun blows up) and $570 for insurance (9 months of the year)... so I'm right about there as well.

 

We don't have a trailer payment... taxes to me is the big ugly... if it wasn't for the goverment i'd be better off...

Don't forget uncle sam guys...

This is a reality.. we had one truck that blew up and went out and bought another may be a dumb move there lol but now we have two truck payments.


OKay now don't look at this and say wow i can do that... the problem right now aint what it's going to cost you but its what can i make right now... that is the big question also consder we don't have any 401k nothing towards a retirement, and we can't afford health insruance... of any kind... so keep that in mind... and right now

DONT BUY NO TRUCKKKKK!!!!!!!

Easeway, don't be silly. Those are all my expenses combined. It would bring tears to my eyes also if I had a truck payment that high.

 

I would get a new tax man. I got $90 back last year.

 

we didn't make estimated payments do you. and are you a 0/0

The only way to get money back is to show a loss, so unless you actually had a loss your tax man hid alot of things. Last year my net was around $65000 and I paid around $14000 state and fed

 

Great point, we've never got money back here but then again we have troulbe making the estimated payments now with this economy.... i wonder if he's a company driver?
