    Thats the smart way of doing it, I failed to mention I also put my fuel on my card, but only because I always fill up at the Quick Trip in Anderson SC, where credit is the same as cash price, $2.32 a gallon right now, and you're right RC, a person should always try and have more than the bare minimum in their buisness account, because after its all said and done, if I have to make a $27,000 repair bill, I better still have my bare minimum left in for an EXTREME emergency...

    Good. Minimum cash $10k. Rollin' is right about the $25k, although it helps if your truck will cooperate. Note: both Rollin and Punk mention credit card? I use a $25k card I've had for 15 years...please, consider the vast difference between credit and debt. Using credit to your benefit is smart management. Using debt is not, unless your goals include a plan for managing that use, as in Blair...
