You guys are tough! I'm probably in the minority here, but I don't intend to give my kids a college education. Will I help them along? Sure. But I'm not going to apologize for enjoying my thirties a little even though their college isn't yet paid for. Let's see.....I put myself through college, medical school, and residency completely on my own. Twelve plus years of education and deferred gratification. Nope.....still no regrets over buying myself a Vette!

I Advise & structure business owners nationaly who want Nevada Corporations, LLC'S & Nevada Law to protect them. Same as Microsoft, Boeing, Aerospace, JetBlue airlines, Trump enterprises, amazon.com all have. You may hear our radio commercials daily.
I also do living trusts & build corporate credit under their corporations so business owners no longer sign personal guarantees, the corporation has its own A-1 credit.
I also own a record label & have a Rock CD out doing very well along with a music retail website.
God has blessed me with many talents & I try to use them all.

I’m a Mechanical Engineer.
Pretty good money, but not nearly as much as some of you guys that run your own business.
Married, but no kids.
That’s the main reason I have funds available for toys like the corvette at 38-years old.

I hit the NJ Lottery back in '01. I could have bought any car out there. Instead, I replaced my '89 and '96 Vette with an '02 Coupe. I recently, purchased a C6 to go along with the C5. When you cut me I bleed "Vette".
