No body helping to pay a portion of my health insurance, etc., etc. I went back to work for the man....did a whole lot better.....saved and invested, and then retired with a pension check every month for life. I am glad I switched. The road of life has a lot of forks....sometimes you choose the right ones...sometimes you choose the wrong ones. I wish you the very best.

Appreciate the kind sentiments. Yeah, I will be the hardest boss I've ever worked for thats for sure. But, I'm blessed with a wife thats has an excellent job in the medical field so, we got great insurance and benefits and we invest her money in 401k and various other places. I do plan to use my time wisely with my family though. My Dad is a workaholic....I plan to learn from his mistakes. But, I do understand why he is that way growing without much he had to work extremely hard for everything he got and I appreciate that. I'll definetely take the good and leave the bad.
