I like the person who mentioned that tough times are never pleasant and of course they are not. I was in computer sales for 30 plus years and for various reason changed jobs over seven times. Companies downsize, companies get bought, companies go under, companies reorganize and with me. It...

I have used cash/check to get 15%-25% discounts on many big tickets expenses. Saved that much on dentist, eye doctor bills, lawn services, exterminator services, house when I got it painted inside and out, new roof cost and a "minor" surgery bill which I saved almost 50% on which saved over...

Everything sounds and looks real rosey at this time. I think the only thing that can through a wrench into your finely tuned ( I use this word because your into music) machine is your health going forward. If you can predict that and the weather at the same time, you have no worries I would say...
