Well i can tell ya that we don't make enough , but we squeak by . No way we can get a new car and as for a new truck for me not in this life time . So i am stuck with my 95 and just keep on fixen it . New home nope that ain't happening . And that SUV you showed for 53and change you ain't seen nothing as i saw a JEEP what ever it was that had a sticker of 84 and change . I had the war dept.'s car over at the dealers for some warranty work only because (1) my scan tool would not tell me what was wrong so i had then scan it since my scan tool needs up graded . So they tell me what is wrong and i said ok lets see how much the parts are going to cost me Well the one part was list for just around 750 and the other was 4 something LIST , my cost was 435 for the one and 207 for the other , Ouch . My friend the service manager say BUT i can work magic and make all but a 150 bucks go away and we will install the new parts program them as they need programed , So ok you do the work . While i was there waiting i got looking around and they had a NEW 3500 Goat cab and Chassis 4x4 and i even liked the color till i looked inside , it was a slush box Not for me . Now i am just killing time when one of the new hotshot fast talking weasels descends on me armed with a plate and keys insisting that we go for a ride . Had a hard time tryen to get him to understand the meaning of NO . Now for just the small amount of 54318 dollars and change PLUS TAX , TITLE , PERP and DOC fees i could have that truck . I asked him if he was on COKE or Crack . That kind of money on a set of wheels that will never make you a dime . And cost you untold amounts of money once the warranty runs out . BUT people just gotta have it just like the big homes and all the frills just got to have it . Fine if you have the bucks BUT what happens when you get sick or your big high payen job goes bye bye . Same with farming i can do a lot of farming with old stuff that i can fix . I learned a long time ago that that corn plant did not care that it got planted with my old 1240 pulled by a rag 706 gas or that it got sprayed with a 250 dollar sprayer and when it was ready to come off it did not mind going thru a 657.50 combine and everything was paid for so when we were getting a 1.97 a bushel i got to keep my 1.97 a bushel and not have to run to my friendly banker and beg him to except and interest payment on that note and beg for more money to do this all over again plus figure out how to pay for that new tractor , tillage tools , combine and them two semi's that i just had to have. Today nothing is forsure and why stick your head on the chopping block as you could walk into work and have the bomb dropped on ya that OH we will be closing the doors at the end of the week or Ah we sold to tis other company and you will have to set down with them as to what pay level they will pay you and when you do set down with the management they tell you that they will only pay you HALF of what you were making and no benny's for a year so here sign here or there is the door .
