O/O home time

@Breaker-one-nine
This guy is a L/O, but says he has no kids or wife, but does own a home.

 

Last time, a guy on here said he owned some land and his home. I want to be like that guy. I'll work all my life if I have to.

 

I could make it with that payment. I wouldn't want to, id have to work more than part time. But i could. Even with a high mortgage payment and kids. Just because some of us don't have a lot of expenses does not mean we couldn't do it, we have chosen not to. Important distinction imo.

 

4k a month for a truck, a distinction? I call that senseless. You don't need a fancy hammer to hit the nail on the head. I rather pay for a quarter mill home.

 

Actually, I meant a half a mill home. No nice homes at a quarter mill in socal.

 

Quarter mill will get 900 sq ft in Compton, no?

 

The distinction is it can be done, but is chosen not to be done, vs the implied suggestion that it can't be done with a mortgage and kids as your previous post suggested.

 

That is what I would call senseless ! I would rather live in a 30,000.00 dollar home in the middle of a cornfield than pay that for a house and all of the socal stuff that goes along with living there !

 

I pretty much work 1 week on then take 1 or 2 weeks offs. Having no truck or trailer payments is pretty nice. Last month I only worked 6 days because freight is soo cheap. If you're going to be an O/O you need to be able to manage you're money for times like these if you want to be around when the rates come back up. Plus it's nice having a wife that makes good money too.

 

Change it to Canadian dollars. Could easily be 4k.

Some of us get paid in usd, so in theory it doesn't make a difference ... however, the payment stays the same, but what happens when usd loses strength against cad? It's not really different than playing the currency game for us up here.
