[QUOTE="BrokenBackJack, post: 197852, member: 642"] Have a buddy that does custom farm work and he complained every year about having to pay the banker and never having enough money left. I kept telling him you only make money when everything is paid for and not having to work for the banker. 2 years ago he quit buying newer equipment and just fixed what he had. He just said the other day i should have listened to you years ago. Sometimes one needs to borrow from the bank but more often it is just that one wants rather than needs something. It boils down to how you want to live. We worked our butts off throughout life and worked 2 or 3 jobs at a time and scrimped and saved. Now later in life we can afford some things we want but still wonder if we want to spend the coins. There is no easier way to go broke than trying to keep up with the Joneses! Plain and simple. Saw it farming many times as someone bought a new tractor or combine so the neighbor bought a bigger one. Didn't make sense to me then and doesn't make sense now either. They would say the government should raise payments so we can get by. Just like the government they had a spending problem and couldn't control it. [/QUOTE]
