Own my business, Auto Body and Paint shop

Since age 12, 18 years

D) What is your job's income bracket

Hard to pinpoint this, as there are various "perks" to owning your own business. Certain things that most people pay for out of their pockets get "absorbed". I am on my 2nd house at age 30, but do not have a car note and have no debt other than the house. Lack of cc debt is a main factor for my success, that and dropping out of college at 20 to learn the family business, which I had to buy from the parents.

E) How much money per month do you spend on "hobbies" every month?

OHHHH, alot or a little. Can vary depending on what hobby I am currently fooling with. Last month I did not spend a dime, this month I am up to a few hundred on rc stuff(first rc purchases this year). I have spent 10k in a few weeks on the gun and motorcycle hobbies... Pick hobbies that give you good returns, rc is not one of them. Used guns and bulk ammo is... Motorcycles are not...

Thought I might update this info, since so many people care...

I have recently sold about 1k of rc stuff a month, for the past few months. Got back into the gun hobby, where I can spend 1-2k in a few hours...

Guy, your post was very funny. How many had you drank prior to writting it? HAHA.

D) What is your job's income bracket ($100K +)

E) How much money per month do you spend on "hobbies" every month? (Not really sure, but since 2005 I have accumulated about $20K+ in R/C gear and tools)

Well we moved and a few things have changed since my last post. We now live in Prague, Czech Repoublic, Europe. I resigned my contract status as a Special Investigator in Jan/2011, and have been unemployed since then. BUT I just recieved notice for a new job opening up and hope to be working at the US Embassy Post Office soon(June).

With my US Navy retirement, and SSI, added to the sallary I will still be above #8, plus the wife is also above #8 before taxes.

Lately with the expenses of our move and our house remodel in California hobby spending has been under $500 a month(shhhh she does not know). Once I begin receiving a paycheck once again my hobby spending will be back over $500 a month.
