[Hoot Gibson]

You started this when I stated in the one thread that big business killed my dad. You went from there saying I got my money from his settlement, then worked it all the way up to insinuating that I didn't earn a living by working a job by calling me a trust fund baby. I have worked my ass off all my life, from my very first job at a gas station at 14, up until now. Nobody has ever paid my way. I work for my money. The only difference is that now, I only work 8 months a year, because I spent years getting debt free, working 60-70 hours a week, and intend on spending the rest of my working years close to my family. I no longer am willing to travel to tons of different states, staying away from my family. Any money I have other than that, is tied up, to go to my retirement years, and to leave to my kids.

I said that I needed to go to bed and had to get up early for work. That set off your boasting about how much money you make. This is not the first time that you have bragged about your wealth and attempted to belittle other people, as your exchange with Old School showed.

It's great that you are able to take a few months a year to be with your family. Personally, I have no plans to retire until I am no longer capable of earning a living, but I plan to travel around the country and semi-retire by reducing my workload to 6 or 8 months/year in about 10 years or so. As I said, I enjoy what I do for a living and would not want to sit around at home or work in a job with somebody hovering over me.
