Luckily we bought it used but still lost money. We have used it more as a guest bedroom. We didn’t buy a trailer because none of our vehicles could tow one.
I once broke the sound barrier in a T-38 trainer (Don’t worry, I wasn’t driving).
I sold Microsoft in the early nineties because I thought they had run their course and oil shale was the wave of the future.
As a young man, I joined Mensa as a way to meet women. I was unsuccessful.
I once sat overnight on a T-38 crash site when a reserve pilot took it nose down in an Indiana farmer's field. Had to wait for the nearest EOD team to respond and disarm the ejection seat so the pilot's lower torso could be safely recovered. The nearby but crispy upper torso smelled like chicken cooked with a flame thrower. I still see it in my mind every time I hear or read that particular plane's designation.

I emmigrated from The Netherlands as an infant. My parents are WW2 survivors (Rotterdam was horrifically bombed). We started our life with 2 old cars gifted from our parents. As a RN, I have retired a multimillionaire. Hubby is still working-he made min wage well into the 90s so has some bankrolling to do to have the retirement he wants.
I don't know that "normal" people would find this interesting as jealousy runs rampant for those with a bit of wealth. They are too damn busy living above their means and working like slaves to make their monthly payments.
It's sad success in our culture is celebrated by the latter. but here? HERE WE CELEBRATE frugal living!
I just checked my asset total: I drew 1/24th this month of what I earned in the recent 2 weeks. I think I'm going to be OK for the long run.
