I went to see a house with my real estate agent and there were 3 holes in the roof...they wanted $205000 for that house. Now when we walked in there was a hole in the living room roof the size of a recliner covered with a tacked up hospital sheet (I know because it said property of).

The thing that baffled me was that they had 2 sets of living room furniture (one nice leather set) and a 42 inch flat screen tv.

Now, I ask you...where are their priorites? I just hate it when people whine and "oh poor pitiful me" when they have the means to fix something like that.

I think being rich or poor is about priorities and how you use the money you do have. There are lots of people that are "poor" monitarily but rich in other ways. I think we all would like to have a little more money but the question always goes back to "what would you do with it if you had more?"

So many people get into trouble because when they get a raise or bonus or better job they adjust their lifestlye to fit their money. Instead of spending the same and putting away more they always manage to spend more and put away less and wonder where did it all go.

I'll get down off my soapbox now.

I do know what you are saying BEE
big difference between payment poor for things and money needed to buy food.

BUT alot of these things are inherited also. I didn't buy all the tractors and 3 don't work...LOL...they are older than us. Alot of what I say I have is so old no one wants it. maybe scrap metal.

that bigger truck....that is a fantasy truck from that thread. no I won't be getting a fully loaded anything truck brand new. if I win the lottery, yup I will get it and help others.

But I know what you are saying-------


AND I am wondering.....when you say good luck ya'll----what does that mean????


you are going to continue to post I hope. I don't want you leaving...you are good for the board!!!!!! YOU STAY HERE! unless I misinterpreting something...?????

Drama - was there drama? Surely not here. We don't do drama.

I bet Bee is out scouting around looking for those sheep and geese. Or at least I hope thats what is happening. If not well - Bee you need to get your butt back here with Sam. After all I did not give him to you I just let him borrow him. Plus, I almost have my DH talked into geese and I need you to help me with that down pulling stuff or all my geese will be walking around bare chested.

As I recall, Bee mentioned in another post that she was going to go get her sheep (I think Montana, but I can't remember).
