    People do it all the time. Just need to manage your money. Low rent, conserve electricity and water, buy food at the grocery store on sale. Lots of potatoes, rice and beans. Like I said it's done everyday.

    who wants to live like that ?

    As a Driver...Shouldn't your life be a tad more ...,,Advanced?

    I mean really...$370 a month for rent.. what a Garage? I pay more than that a month just in property taxes,lol.......

    You Work your Butts Off for a living, You should Not have to Live on Rice,Potatoes,Beans and have to live paycheck to paycheck like that..........

    I know some people choose that Lifestyle, but I know Most of You would Rather have the reasonable lifestyle that come with hard work.

    I am not wealthy or Knowledged. I am doing perfectly fine. I just worked hard and made a few smart decisions. Ask a Chinaman, Cuban and/or Venezuelan how communism or socialism is. That's just a simple list but it can go on a while.

    LOL and yep look where you live. I just rent a lot with utilities included as I am not here much. Just a few hours a night and most of that is spent sleeping. It would only be $225 if I paid all the utilities and trash.

    Not living paycheck to paycheck either. I have a goal and right now that is putting money away for my own truck and several different trailer types. Only way to stay local is to diversify what you can haul.

    Oh I forgot.... don't knock the chili LOL

    Actually I do not live like that. I worked my way up with a wife and 2 children. Something other do not want to do. I now have my own truck and manage it and my finances so that I continue to have my own truck. I eat what I want when I want. I go on vacations. But again, I worked my way up. At 33-39 cpm I saved and cut back so that I could have a down payment and operating/repair money. If someone can't work towards a greater goal then that's not my problem.

    My mistake, it's been a long tough day and I misapplied something.

    How advanced should my life be as a 'Driver'?
    How advanced should anyone's life be for what they do.

    It is what it is for the majority of people because they are not industrious enough, or smart enough, to do any better.
    They deserve what they earn, and no more. Certainly not forced hand outs from people that have made more.

    I don't say that from a position of wealth. Quite the opposite.

    IMHO, the wealthiest man in the world is the one who is content. Money may buy security, but not necessarily happiness.
