UPDATE!
I just got the call to go sign the papers!
I'm going to pick up the check as we speak!


That got me to thinking...................

What if, ON PAPER, I charged my mother-in-law $500 bucks a month rent, and a $300 a month car payment?
So I went back to the bank with these new numbers.
AND I GOT THE LOAN!!!!!
$5,000 @ 12% = $172.00 a month payments!


So there you go.
I told the bank that this was ONLY on paper, and they didn't even care!
They said that's ALL they look at!

I could have had the check yesterday afternoon, but their DOCS (?) machine was down.
But the loan passed preliminary & then final approval, and was verbally approved.
Just waiting for DOCS (?) machine to spit out the paperwork I need to sign.
Ofcourse, I'm not counting my chickens until they're hatching in my hand, in the form of a check.
But I should be driving my truck by Monday!

The lesson?
If you want to get ahead, CHARGE FOR EVERYTHING!
Or at least make it SEEM like you do, on paper!
Becouse on paper, GOOD GUYS finish last.

"Lately, it occurs to me, What a loooooooooooooooong, strange, trip, it's beeeeeeeeen."

Greatful Dead - Truckin'

Truckin' got my chips cashed in. Keep truckin', like the do-dah man
Together, more or less in line, just keep truckin' on.

Arrows of neon and flashing marquees out on Main Street.
Chicago, New York, Detroit and it's all on the same street.
Your typical city involved in a typical daydream
Hang it up and see what tomorrow brings.

Dallas, got a soft machine; Houston, too close to New Orleans;
New York's got the ways and means; but just won't let you be, oh no.

Most of the cats that you meet on the street speak of true love,
Most of the time they're sittin' and cryin' at home.
One of these days they know they better get goin'
Out of the door and down on the streets all alone.

Truckin', like the do-dah man. Once told me "You've got to play your hand"
Sometimes your cards ain't worth a dime, if you don't lay'em down,

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.

What in the world ever became of sweet Jane?
She lost her sparkle, you know she isn't the same
Livin' on reds, vitamin C, and cocaine,
All a friend can say is "Ain't it a shame?"

Truckin', up to Buffalo. Been thinkin', you got to mellow slow
Takes time, you pick a place to go, and just keep truckin' on.

Sittin' and starin' out of the hotel window.
Got a tip they're gonna kick the door in again
I'd like to get some sleep before I travel,
But if you got a warrant, I guess you're gonna come in.

Busted, down on Bourbon Street, Set up, like a bowlin' pin.
Knocked down, it get's to wearin' thin. They just won't let you be

You're sick of hangin' around and you'd like to travel;
Get tired of travelin' and you want to settle down.
I guess they can't revoke your soul for tryin',
Get out of the door and light out and look all around.

Sometimes the light's all shinin' on me;
Other times I can barely see.
Lately it occurs to me What a long, strange trip it's been.

Truckin', I'm a goin' home. Whoa whoa baby, back where I belong,
Back home, sit down and patch my bones, and get back truckin' on.

Are we talking about PICTURES?!!!

Come on now, you know I don't go out for THAT kind of thing!
I'm ALL about NOT tooting my OWN horn!
I'm too shy, and WAY too busy, to sit at the computer for hours at a time hashing & rehashing the minutia that makes up my life!

Nah, I'm talking about content. You know, stuff like defaulting on loan payments, repossession of vehicles, that kind of drama...

Finanical success is not that hard. I think it was J P Getty who said all you needed to do was, "Get up early, work hard, and strike oil".

So... If I were charging a friend $1000/mo for rent... Could I get a $100,000 loan?

That will be a good start to my new life as José in Guadelajara. I live like a king, si!

DOH!
You're thinking, making it financially so on paper, don't necessarily make it financially so in the real world!
That could be a good point, but I got a few aces up my sleave.

In a month, my Wife starts Bartending again.
That's atleast $200 bucks a week extra, in tips.
And don't forget, in October, every Alaska resident gets around $1,000 in Oil Dividends. (this year, with the oil prices, it looks like around $1,500.)
Or forced to it, no smoking cigarettes for a month makes the loan payment.
Or just cut back on a few "Recreational Ingestables".
Worst-case scenario, I can re-finace the other cars and pay the truck off.

I can make $172 a month payments standing on my head! (if i have too!)

One off the most successful businessman I know once told me………It’s not how much money you have in the bank that matters.. It’s how much you can get out that counts. Good luck with your new truck

On a more serious note, doesn't the gist that statement make you sit back and think for a moment?

seriously, about a year ago I started taking the 15-20 minutes a day to stuff my own smokes at a buck a pack. That frees up a couple hundred bucks a month more for, umm, other thingies...

Two days after I quit, I bought myself a car that had payments = to what I was spending a month in cigarettes. This helped me quit!!

Or just keep on smoking and you could likely increase your chances of NO payments!...

Congrats, dude!
When I was looking for a house, my mortgage broker told me I could qualify for a larger mortgage if I told him I had room mates that would be leasing rooms from me as x amount each month.

This is a very high impact statement that couldn't be any more true, yet no one has commented on it?

Nice spread... I woulda done the same when I had to transfer cash for buying my house.. but I wasnt about to get outa my car holding this!!!

15 Grand in $100 bills This marks the third time in my life Ive been toating this kinda cash. Holding it sure makes what your doing feel right.. its the giving it away all in one hand to another that makes you go aWWWW Damn... LOL

I saw the truck and I think its worth it.. MUCHHH better choice.. and as far as smoking goes.. Never smoked cigs before and I see the prices and I feel the pain but I'm a pipe smoker and It is way better for you in so many ways!! For one.. the cost, I can buy an OZ of gooood tobacco for about $3, right now theres a store liqudating its bulk stuff for 50C a oz and it does the trick, For 2, It gives one hell of a buzz if youve never smoked before almost pot like but shorter. 3rd believe it or not.. Much healthier, yes there risk but much lower then cigs. Dont inhale as much as I do and your lugs will thank you, you dont have to chain smoke, theres not as many chemicals, yadda yadda. and you look cool smokin a pipe.. LOL well Im done.. Like I said I spend a 1/4 of what cig smokers do..

Enjoy the bucks while you got them.. its fun to lay naked in bed on them!!! (dont tell us and DOnT take pics) L8

BTW.. I didnt fan the bills well enough, but theres bills on bills on bills

------------------

Ferrari 308 GTB rebody on a modified 86SE chasis Soon to have a highly hooped up 3800SC..Ohh yeah baby!! I like a lil Whine with my meal when I go out to eat Rice
