Thanks, Dave. I never thought my income as "big," just the agreed dollars for pulling CFI cargo. I think $150-$200K gross annual is kind of mid-stream, or average for a truck that runs more than it sits. It was big enough for me, for sure. No new payments, no new truck. I do have that driving jones going on in a big way, so after I'm done with real estate aligning, I see more driving in my future. Not commercial, fun driving.
My secret? I didn't spend all the money I made. I kept quite a bit of it by not buying toys or unnecessary stuff. Also, I spent quite a bit on my truck maintenance, so I only had one breakdown in 4 years, and that was covered by Detroit's excellent warranty program.
"Work hard, save your money." Easy, right?Diesel Dave Thanks this. -

Prices are high in CA, but Weed sits on the west shoulder of Mt. Shasta, a truly awesome mountain. 5 glaciers! Population is all of 3,000, and will soon leap up to 3,001. There's a Walmart 28 miles up the I-5 in Yreka, and the closest THD or Lowe's are over an hour drive either way. I like that. I like the mountains, I love the sweet water off Shasta, and I truly, deeply love the low population. For some reason I don't like being around people very much.
If I am not happy with Weed after I get my cabin upgraded, I'll sell off and leave for parts yet unknown. No problem, I just need to leave NM and this cabin is a good value at $48K cash. No payments should help with expenses. All of NoCal is booming with weed growers since they legalized growing, so my money is safe.Big Don Thanks this. -
