Becoming financially independent through your own effort is a skillset that allows you to have a choice in how you spend your time and money. We are not all the same. Money is easy, time...not so much.

I figure if Presidents can have stimulus programs, so can I.

I pay a friend to bring me firewood. All I have to do is split the rounds for exercise. Should I choose to, he'd bring it split and ready to burn. He has the saws, the big truck, access to the trees on private land.........why should I go buy a saw, chaps, etc and use my vehicle when he will do it and earn a living at it?

I do like to split it though.

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
