I always refused help because most of everyone that i know of are lazy and refuse to help me. My family is very happy and giving as long as you treat them well. Mine both have been together since i was born and no divorces... All it is these days is divorce and children are faced with a hard, hard working future.. As of me, my dad has been in the dental business for over 40 years with his own business since i was able to go that direction and make more income then any friend i knew, i own a cadillac, dirtbikes and i have no bills to worry about.. everyone i know at my age is barely having any spare cash cause they have so many payments..

giving children money isnt wrong when you have a healthy family status and then when i become older as he always says, dont put me in a nursing home and forget about me. i will take care of him until that unforantute day comes, hope to god it doesnt anytime soon but this mercedes will be something to surely remember him by and i would like to hand it down to my children if i keep it. And a 1 owner 300d.. your not going to find that much at all.

Most of everyone i know isnt afraid to work on their on car, hah my cadillac oh my i hate working on that just because theres so much dang electrical components causing the dumb check engine light on... THATS WHY I LOVE MY MERCEDES, no light but its good in a way cause it would tell you something is wrong. on these you dont know until that bad day comes and something fails.

You sure make alot of good points barry, the future society is just about ruined and it hasnt even begun... i still have alot to see...

With these cars saving money on repairs is always good. It allows the further expendatures with less pain as they occur. Today I would willingly pay for all those experiences.

You may have your bread buttered on both sides if you apply everything well. You are building your self confidence and abilities as you go along in your fashion. This is really great.

I have to deal with people that have no abilities and zero self confidence to do anything. I do not condem this but they should have a very high income level and usually do not. Or if they do still have large debt all the time. So even with high income levels they are poor.

They usually owe more than their total asset values. Loss of a job or sickness and many other things can finish them quickly.

It is much like the story of two people getting divorced and both walking up the road with nothing. They in common when they were still married actually had nothing based on a balance sheet to start with so nothing financially has changed in reality.

Young guys like yourself actually getting their hands dirty is a relief to me. There are not enough of you now. Combine this with the smarts and you can have the world by the tail.
