Real estate and family

[A HERETIC I AM]

8. Agree again.

This situation came up for me only a few weeks ago. I was asked by one of my brothers to loan him some money. I just made it a gift and that way I know I won't be pissed or disappointed when the inevitable non payment occurs.

Life on the road is....well....what it is! Working constantly, as my last day off was the 1st of May. It's nice to get large and reliable paychecks again, let me tell you.

I am in Ft. Myers, FL tonight, having just delivered a 3 stopper here and Naples. I'll spend the night with my oldest brother (Not the lendee!), watch the Monaco GP and the Indy 500 tomorrow and after the race, head back north to reload in Jacksonville on Monday. That load is 4 drops in Charlotte, NC. Busy, busy, busy! I just hope new car sales hold up. As long as they do, I'll have plenty of work.

As a side note that may be of interest to you, I completed my 6 months with this firm in April and qualified for their 401(k). Putting 10% of the gross into it for now with 50% to AGTHX, 40 to a BRIC fund with very little IC (Mostly BR) in it, and the remainder in a MM fund. I'm liking South America much more than I'm liking China these days and this fund (a Franklin, if I remember correctly) has kicked ass over the last 5 years.
