But I can leave that money making three times the loan rate...So the loan gets paid and I have two thirds left... But I do hate loans..


Next is the "warren Buffett" truck..I have proven my point at 200K miles on it and 2000 dollars maintinence in the last 5 years ...Only gas, reg, and insurance...

But I have decided to splurge.. But I can, or i would drive the truck forever if I had to...

Want to give away the old truck? hahaha


All kidding aside. I do hope the questions i do ask here are seen as me trying to learn, not just for quick answers, but insight as to "why" you came up the the answer you did....

Im a quick learner, I soak things in, and absorb a good portion of it. I'm analytical, and simplistic. The fastest/easiest approach is my goal (not just talking about investing)... Thats what makes me pretty good at my normal job (Q/A Supervisor for a small software firm.. but started out in tech support, and still do a good portion of it).
