Lot of truth in that Dale.
We farm some land that has been in the family for close to 100 years, back when the homesteaders first moved into this country.
My dad was always interested in cattle though and he started that side of the 'farm' on his own back in the 1970's.
That and a fairly brief stint in hogs. I don't miss those things....grin
Long story short there were an awful lot of lean years but he's in a comfortable spot now. Of course my mom and us kids pitched in and worked to make it happen as well.
The main thing I've been taught is try not to buy anything that doesn't increase your net worth.
Lots of cows but we're pretty short on snow mobiles, jet ski's and chit like that.....grin
And a vacation?!
Actually now that I'm back my folks have got to go on a couple short trips but nothing crazy.
My brother has been married for a couple years now and I still haven't met his wife and my only nephew.
