    Seriously, y'all... O/P and H/G.... really good advice. My wife takes good care of all of our financials, thank goodness. If there were a day I didn't make it home... she has the above worked out for us all... S/Tex has more than I, actually. Got me thinking, as well. Great post, man.

    If you are starting tanker don't worry about the microwave and tv crap for awhile. Get the tools you need, same ones you used while with the trainer. Order a few pair of professional looking pants to wear, carhart b290 I like and some Hanes heat temp long sleeve shirts, when save some money buy the plug in fridge out of a truck stop or Walmart and slowly buy other stuff you decide you need. A good pair of wire cutters for sure, not the cheap ones or you will buy a pair every month. Wd40 for hooking up HIT lines, baby wipes, food you can open and eat, can food and such, no need to heat it up that's just a luxury that's not needed. Cases of water and just go to work
     
    wore out, Gabru and G13Tomcat Thank this.
