As a farming operation, the redhead and I each draw a modest (35K) salary, health insurance and retirement deal. We’ve been plowing just about all the profit back into the operation, so though we “make” well into six figures, we don’t take that home. Not sure I could figure out how to spend another 100K every year on “stuff”. Pretty content with the setup we have.

Between the paid off house, kids off the payroll, and driving a farm vehicle, there’s not much in expenses. Neither of us are spenders, and the cost of living is low with buying our pork and beef from local farms, so there’s always money left in the budget we have to figure out what to do with. It’s about time to go to the old country this summer for my mom’s 95th, now that the Covidiocy has died down. May go see Prague or Vienna, never been that far East. As long as we’re back for sharp tail season…..
