http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/17/4215.html#000017 I recently ran into some money myself....
My theory, as usual (didn't let the size of my pile affect my decision making processes) when spending my money on stuff is to buy stuff used...let somebody else take care of the nasty depreciation. When I say 'stuff' I mean of course, cars, trucks and boats...the big stuff.
I looked at it like this......when every thing comes crashing down around me, can I sell what I bought for what I paid for it with relative ease? It helps that I am one stingy *******.....I just don't pull the trigger unless I am pretty sure what I am getting into.
So far, my auto/truck investments look good on paper....just need to start selling some of these rigs off! With any luck at all I'll be doing better than the stock market as soon as I can start liquidating some vehicles.

A personal subject should have been left personal. I meant what I said to you in private and apologize for going over the line in public if that is what I did.
Maybe you should explain your comments in the context of you trying to establish credibility for yourself by bragging about what sounded like being financially successful. On another thread discussing what to spend a windfall on you made a comment about coming into some money yourself.
Sorry if I took it wrong but it sure sounded like you were asking others to pay for something that you could afford yourself. I am all for supporting a worthy cause but feel violated if it appears that I was scammed.
Again, if I got this wrong I apologize in public.
http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php/topic/16/4434.html#000000 Thanks for the heads up Rich...I'd say I'm a fair judge of character, I shouldn't have any problems in that respect
As far as what I am going to do for work goes...
My official status right now is 'retired'. I don't think I'm ready to announce my plans just yet...also not sure if that's such a good idea, and NO, not because I would be doing something illegal.
I will be fishing an awful damn lot this Winter/Spring though, that I can guarantee you....
