    When you are doing something like this, they say to "pay yourself first"
    i think part of that payment is rewarding yourself with time off. You aren't making money when you sit, so in essence you are buying time off, or paying yourself with future miles.
    My fixed cost is $505. I will have to work about normal to get out of a hole created with that. My break even for truck related cost is 929 miles with 100g of fuel.
    I figure I can work that back to positive in 3 loads, easy. (Basically double the break even miles)
    thats my idea anyway. The thick settlement I just got will encourage me to keep at it, and take time to relax. I already made plans to have lunch with my wife and go fish in the big lake. Then I have to rent a truck and move. Not the most fun weekend, but the end result will be worth it.
    Take care all, speak in about a week.

    The idea behind, "Pay yourself first" is an old idea and relates to retirement. For a Roth IRA or just an IRA, if you put away around $125 a week towards this Roth IRA or Traditional IRA, by the time you reach retirement age, you will be set. That is paying yourself first...

    Safe and sound at home again, the move begins tomorrow. Weather looks mild enough to start that.

    Moving to a new house reminds me why I don't do work involving being on my feet all day. End result is worth it, but the process is maddening. I'm fricking tired.
