Rob, thanks for giving me hope. If you could survive jobs like that I can too!

Yeah, keep up the good work Jim. Much better to move heaven and earth for your own business than for someone else. What crazy things we’ve all done to stay out of debt?

I once did all nighters loading pallets in a warehouse for three months (cold and dismal), loaded Range Rovers onto Ro-Ro ferry’s bound for Japan and the USA (yes, you can have races inside a ship they’re huge) and even a stint at the electric ride-on-toys department at Toys R Us over Christmas one year.

By far the Toy’s R Us job was the most dangerous, challenging, a test of patience, will and nerves. Five year olds do not give up a free ride without a fight.

After reading Rene’s last account, I know I couldn’t do what she’s doing. I don’t mean won’t – I mean CAN’T, physically – my GOD.

Its true. And the wages Rene is getting aren’t half bad, considering.

I feel the same way about debt. Always have. Don’t like it one bit. Nothing irks me like having to pay interest. When I was contemplating purchasing a home, looking at the amortization schedule would make me sick. Nothing like paying more than 2x what the house “costs” due to interest.
