I'd have a hard time coming up with an "extra" $400.00. Most people I know would too if you didn't allow credit cards. Savings accounts? I had a doosey when I retired. I had it all planned out on how I was going to do things. Then the in- laws started getting sick and needed help, mother got cancer bad, daughter got married and they needed help, son got in trouble several times and needed help, wife needed help, taxes went up, costs rose, cars died, tractors broke, credit card interest went from 3% to 15%, the roof needed replacing, son in law left, etc., etc.. etc. Now I have no savings, daughters car just lost engine, dealer wouldn't fix issue with wifes car which cost over a grand at an independent garage , son is doing okay in Texas, in laws/parents are either dead or in nursing home ( at the cost of their home), prices still rise, taxes and regulations rise, etc. etc. But I'm paying my debt down. I don't spend on every toy I want. I scrimp and save. I deny myself a lot of things I'd like. Wifes doing the same thing. Kids are slowly picking it up, the not spending habit.
I think my story could be repeated a million times over anywhere in the nation. It's not that people like this style of doing things, it's just the way it is.
Just for chuckles- I arrested this guy one time for doing something along the lines of an assault (don't recall details) on 2 women. His story was that they had stolen $2800.00 from him. DA at the time told me I had made a bad arrest because of the women taking the money (??? still doesn't make sense-you don't beat other people for any reason, 'specially girls). I asked the DA if he believed the guys story and of of course the DA said yes. So I asked him, "Where is an ex-con, jobless, drug dealing scumbag going to come up with $2800.00?". Stopped the DA right in his tracks. "Oh......yeah....I hadn't thought about that...........".

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
