Is it possible to spend 100% of salary on road

No different than the average guy buying crap he doesn't need...

 

"I spent most of my fortune on booze, drugs and hookers. The rest of it, I wasted..."

 

Some guys just have to have all the bells and whistles...

Company drivers, in most cases can't modify their trucks. Eventually you have all the crap you really need, and a lot you don't.

I might buy a movie now and then, but really my money is spent on food these days... With an occasional replacement of worn out gloves, or restocking of office supplies.

I got a massage once... Go figure, the cliche was true in this case... Lady was ugly and I wasn't having any of that. Her English was so bad, she propositioned me 3 times before I figured out what the hell she was asking me.

There are a few truck stops out here that are practically next door to strip clubs... It's not the same with out a few drinks and a couple buddies to hoot and hollar with.

I started an IRA account and religiously put 100 dollars per week into it, as you are allowed $5k per calendar year. On top of my company 401k. You could do the same with just a savings account and take really nice vacation every year.

Discipline, and budget. Make a list of a weeks worth of food, buy it at wal mart and budget a couple extra dollars for toiletries that you normally don't buy on a weekly basis... Also to cover price fluctuations and the varying sales tax around the country.

Stick to your plan and you'd be suprised with what's left over every week.

 

Once I spent my whole paycheck in 5 hours shopping in Ontario in California while I was waiting for a load at the TA and I decied to walk to the outlet near the truckstop and had to catch a ride back to the truckstop I had so much stuff.

 

Hours? The last time I went into Nevada (with money) I blew about $1500 in 10 minutes.

#### blackjack tables!!!!

 

So when are you guys coming back to Nevada? There are new casinos here! We want your.....ahem....the casinos appreciate your continued business. You are always considered valued guests!

 

You need to start asking those lot lizards for the $5 special.
Also ask if she takes coupons.

 

I learned a long time ago...

When I go into Nevada with money, I come out broke. When I go into Nevada broke, I come out broke!

So I started going in broke! Sometimes I'll get a little frisky & drop a $100. But it I very rarely do that anymore!
