This is off point a bit but.Before I would go & blow money on toys I would make sure I had a safe place to park them. What is it with young people would rather party & blow their money on nonessentials & live on rent. I have heard all the stories about how it's too expensive to buy a house well it isn't now. You make hay while the sun is shining save money when the slow times come & things are cheaper jump on the opportunity.The second most important thing or maybe the first is to find the right mate. Take the blinders off & hook up with the right person. Somebody with a brain that can be an asset not a hindrance to your future. Now I'm old & still refuse to retire cause I love to work & what I do. If you like what you do it is said you will never work a day in your life. Why am I preaching this cause I hate to see wasted life & blown opportunities.Sounds like you're determined to learn the hard way...
Here's a link to take a look at. There are more cities to view but this was my home...
San Diego, California (CA) Detailed Profile - relocation, real estate, travel, jobs, hospitals, schools, crime, move, moving, houses news, sex offenders
CA weather is the best! Other than that, Lou is right, you WILL struggle.
I have a friend who earns $6k -9k per month and all he does is struggle. Does not own a home but had a share of a boat, a new truck and a new bike. Even with all this cash coming in the boat and bike are gone and he's barely scraping by.
Good Luck.

you couldn't of said it any more clear x2 you should be a mentor at your local high school better yet go to a south l.a. School or east l.a. More candidates in those areas that need a good role model like you.
Al[/QUOTE/ Thanks I think it's up to the older guys to share a little experience to pass along.Otherwise what good are we. With younger people sometimes they are more willing to listen to some one parallel to themselves.After all who ever listened to their parents certainly not me. But I have several younger friends who I feel that they are wasting a precious recourse called time.One of them recently sold his Buick for 10 cents on a dollar & swore was going to spend the money on a condo or town house & build equity. What did he do went out & bought another money pit.I'm not saying don't have fun but by the time half your life is gone you should have something to show for than a bunch of rent receipts & E.T. slips.
02WS686GN, I think it's interesting to talk about real issues sometimes beside what ever else. First of all women want real men,They are insecure creatures & look for a replacement for thier fathers.Where as men are just the oposite. You find a women that hates her father & I would run in anouther direction. If you find a woman who uses her womb as a device to turn a man into a slave & not pull her load, another bad idea. A real good judge of a man or woman is look at the parents. Thats where it all starts. I will argue with anyone children of divorced or single parent familys have it rough right from the start.My wife is from the east coast & had strict up bringing & her mother is in her 90's & still works hard & keeps busy my wife the same. Look no further than the mother to see what your buying into.If shes fat, sloppy & lazy. Good chance the apple falls not far from the tree. I think the prettier the woman the more useless. Just like animals the pedigrees are the most trouble. Mutts make better pets.In realation ships the hardest thing to judge is yourself.I seen several good women turned into raveing bitchs cause the guy is a loser. They usually dont stick around. No relationship is perfect & only a fool argues with a women. Or if your self centerd or selfesh another deal breaker. I can't figure out whats so hard about all this. It's just common sence.

I guess thats why you see more guys going overseas to find a decent women in these times. One that wasn't brought up by MTV.I agree with you 100% on everything, Lou. Just the point I was trying to make (at least in this area) is that women like your wife and mother-in-law are, at best, a dying breed. It seems any women born before 1970 it's pretty much dead on with what you're saying. After 1975 they're a part of that "me generation" and they're mostly into anyone who will benefit them. Again, maybe it's just this general area (NE Ohio, Western PA) but that's literally all that's around here, PLUS the bad apples you've mentioned in your previous post. I can count on 1 hand how many women in my generation/age group that I personally know that I would consider a quality woman. And they were all scooped up by the time they were 22. Again, maybe it's this area, but I've always been opened minded and gave everyone of them a fair chance. After the relationships were over people would ask me what happened and after I told them, they would look at me with shock and awe and they would always say, "Rick, sorry to hear that. That's bs what they said/did to you and you're way too nice of a guy for that sh*t." Story of my life.
Mean Chicken, your smarter that what you project, Now thats something to crow about.
