    Judge, That payment schedule is "margin". Ask me for an actual better example.

    That re mowing for free; over 3 leftover blades, is that something like warranty work. I've heard of that.

    Sure, it always does.
    Back when I worked as a front end loader and got laid off due to lack of work I got $270/week unemployment.

    Then the state 2 weeks end sent me a letter saying they wanted me to go to Camden, Ar to attend a class on “How to Successful in Business.”
    I told them it was a crock, they were trying to teach the worker, not the business owner.
    Arkansas said if I didn’t attend the week long class, 200 miles away, they’d end my unemployment.
    I told them where they could stick it, and left a loader operator job to drive a truck, 20 years ago this year.
    Now when I look in the mirror instead of an 18-20 year old, I see an old man with thinning hair that’s going white.. not gray.. white.
    I wonder where the kid went.o_O

    To me it reminded me of a section of the original CSI. Some kids thought it would be "fun" to dangle an Uzi from the ceiling and dodge bullets. Granted it was all fantasy. Yet the effect of the building was the same.

    In the Carter admin years I had a line of credit for trading equipment, $30K. At an auction used $8k.
    Got lucky and sold off $5k of what I'd bought on way home. Dropped into bank to adjust the outstanding.
    Interest was at 19%. I told banker "You are paying me 6.25% on wife and my IRA's but charging me 19%, What is this"? His answer-True: "That is margin, Roger."
    (Works on delaying paying out as well as getting it in.)
