    Man, I apologize. Popcorn is getting tough to find around my area, so I snuck into your house while you weren't home and 'borrowed' some of yours.

    I DID leave a 6 pack of beer, hope you enjoyed it, unless that tall, well built home handyman that was there got thirsty.

    I learned that popcorn performs 35% better than kitty litter in the task of sopping up my tears that I cry on a daily basis, reading threads like these, thus my insatiable need for the product.

    My neighbor, a trucker - won the state lottery to the tune of 4.27 million.

    I asked him if he was planning on retiring.

    He told me he'd just keep trucking until all the money was gone.

    You and him oughta run team.

    Listen to the people here before you do anything. There is decades of good advice. But if you are going to do it no matter what go big or go home.

    I am getting over $100k of free money this year so I wanted to try this new business for fun maybe it will be fun. I am considering of becoming a CDL driver and making my own schedule. I am still young in my 30s and I dont have any monthly spending since I live at home lol

    This is the worst time in trucking. At least wait to see what happens. It will be a while.

    I already have enough money to retire so anything I am getting this year I can spend freely.

    So you plan to work for free for an entire year and allegedly give up a $10,000 per month job? Am I understanding this correctly?

    The OP makes no sense, this isn't a place to have a hobby, especially with the amount of litigation that is going on.

    The OP claims they have free money, unless they have deep pockets, they may end up being sued for everything they have, income and assets. That $10k a month/$100k a year will vanish like a fart in a hurricane if there is an accident and the other party gets one of these "I get millions" lawyers, there are hundreds.
