    I chose a different option. Chose to live within my means, and magically, my t660 provides all I need to support myself, my wife, and my three children. It's amazing how far a salary can go when the majority isn't going to pay interest on multiple credit cards, vehicles, toys, and houses.

    I do that also. Make as much as i can while spending the least I can. There is a big danger to this approach tho. You quickly learn you don't need to make a lot to live comfortable and stay working less and less. I haven't worked over six months a year in a few years. Guess you could say i am semi retired.

    I spend quite a bit of time at home as well because I realize that time spent with family is far more important than trying to satisfy them with buying things for them.

    Not all, but most who struggle seem to be living on too much borrowed money. I've been in that situation myself, and getting out of it was one of the best feelings of my life.

    Swift shares the same building with the special olympics.

    Not only their training and employment center but also Swift leasing and truck sales on the other side of the building! lol, can't make this stuff up :biggrin_25523:
