    Sure, I retired a millionaire. But the government took care of that and here I am, back at work again.

    I actually did "retire" a millionaire once...

    I had to hit him twice and he did wake up after about 10 minutes...But he was "retired" for a little while!:biggrin_2559:

    It's a long story...And No, I'm not gonna tell it.

    I'm personally not a saver, I'm an investor. Virtually all the money I make from trucking is going into real estate investments. This is actually a perfect market for my focus of RE, the only real issue is the tight fisted lending since banks are manipulating the markets right now.

    The more money you have...The more money you spend.

    I've had lots of money and I've had very little money...Either way, You adjust to your circumstances.

    I have seen a few drivers go out with over a million and they were company drivers. They worked for a large oil company and took advantage of the company's investment programs. I doubt it can be done in today's market but once upon a time some companies paid thier drivers very well.

    I knew janitors who worked for Reynolds Tobacco . The retirement fund was stock. In the 80's it split several times and the company was bought out. These guys ended up hanging out at the YMCA every day and would make 4 figure donations routinely. The good looking women who worked there would flirt with them because of the birthday card they would get each year.
