That is why I primarily stay on the East coast.

That is why I primarily stay on the East coast. I dunno guys, you must be doing something wrong? I'm going on 2 years November 19th and doing great. I've never had to factor and never plan too. I have now over $2,000 left over a week after all my personal bills, taxes, medical insurance,fuel and all other costs associated with the truck. My insurance is paid in full for another year also. I don't put aside for maintenance, I just pay for it when needed. All I can say is you must have some huge bills on other things and if so, then your telling half truths by leading people to believe unless you do what you do you can't make it. I can see Rev's point. He has a truck payment to make, fire extinguisher replenishment payments and what, about $8,000 in APU research? So I'm just guessing that there must be more behind the story then what you post. You all have my figures and I've been more than open with everything I've done, paid for and my personal bill history. I really don't plan on getting a new truck. You can never go wrong continuing to fix something that is in excellent shape and this baby will do me fine for many years to come. I think it's getting close for a cruise in my future. Almost 2 years and no vacation so I'm ready.

Your numbers aren't adding up again, Steve.

Your numbers aren't adding up again, Steve. That's right, I don't have any bills. I do put aside $1,300 per month for property taxes though!! |
