What if it Snows?

My sister-in-law and her husband (both of who I have known since highschool) bought a brand new one about 2 years ago. How in the ever living hell they justified the expense is beyond me... To be honest I cant understand how they survive the way they spend money. 2 new pickups in 2 years, a new camper, couple of small fat tire dirtbikes, ECT.

Both of them work, but I doubt together they make what I do alone. They live like pigs, wife and I pretty much refuse to go inside thier house.

Just drives me nuts... They have all these nice things (that dont stay nice for long). While I work and slave just to keep the bills paid and TRY to keep 2 vehicles in good safe working order. Dont get me wrong, I have some nice stuff... But nothing on the scale that they do.

I guess I own my own home, while they rent... But it still drives me crazy. How do people like that always seem to get all this nice stuff???

 

Not intending to disparage against your kin they are just the catalyst, here goes my diatribe for the morning...........

They may be using that nice stuff, probably owned by a bank or finance company.

My bet is they never clutter up their bank accounts with any kind of cushion/reserve. Every thing is At 100% flow. Saving up for for anything, let alone a down payment on a house, would be a foreign concept.

The stats on the percentage of population that are living paycheck to paycheck is very disheartening. The vast majority of "homeowners" can not repair/replace a major appliance with money in a bank account, they must finance it.

 

This is my sister too. Huge fifth wheel camper. Skiing trips every weekend. Always on vacations. Buys so much crap.

 

Thought I was being real smart and took a less traveled road back to the mountain to avoid the massive CF — and there’s road construction

 

Better scenery at least.

 

Thats the spirit.

 

Full set of new skins for my lead...

 

I just spoke to the TM of that cryo outfit.

I got the job. I start the end of the month.

I hope it works out. I need the money.

Just called my boss and put in my two weeks.

The guy at the new job called me three times while I was driving. Almost like he was afraid I'd changed my mind......

Probably more like, "I HOOKED ONE!! GET THE NET!!!!!"

 

On a serious note, the 87 BBQ is closed today.

I was counting on them.
