[QUOTE="satellitedriver, post: 1059687, member: 1664"] [COLOR=#006400][B]I have only heard Dave Ramsey on his radio program and I agree with 90% of what he preaches. To me, it is the same "common sense" that I was taught, and applied to my life. When I came to work at UPS in 1986, I had a land note, a note on our 52ft Mobile home, two old cars and $5,000.00 in savings, and a net worth of about $20k. 26yrs later, I am totally debt free, with 20acres, a brick home 3,000sqft under roof, a 1,200sqft barn/shop full of tools, 3 vehicles, a credit score in the 800's and a net worth 40 times greater. It was achieved by using the same principles as Dave preaches and a lot of hard work. My employment at UPS as a driver for the last 26yrs has been a big factor, but it has only been a part. Doing a 105 mile commute to UPS for 9yrs. Working on building my home and sleeping 4hrs a night. Running my metal fab shop business on the weekends. My wife managing a country general store and operating her Art Glass studio. All that was fun, and necessary, when we were young. Now, I am just taking the $90k I will make this year and reap the benefits. So to the question Hoke posed. A drivers job can at least provide for two people who are willing to work and invest in their future. [/B][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
