The wife and I are strong believers that you will appreciate something you work and pay for yourself.
I put 1 daughter through college (my youngest) with dgree. My oldest daughter went one year. Both were told, make good grades, do what you're supposed to do and dad and mom pays. My oldest thought it was play time for a year and wasted dad's money. At 26 she is now going back to college but she pays this time.

I sell commercial printing. Mainly P.O.P. (Point Of Purchase). My two biggest accounts are McDonald's and Borders Books. Go into either of those places and look at all the signs in there and that's what I do.

"Judge your success by what you had to give up to get it."
Always liked that motto.
I own a small telecommunications firm. I have a 2, 7, and 9 yr old. Wife and I just bought a 6k sq ft house a few years ago and a building for my business last year. No 'vette for me yet because I'm not willing to buy it on my line of credit.
Maybe later this year after I sell more crap I don't need on ebay
In the meantime - if anyone has a business in Minnesota that is moving or needs a new phone system - call me!
