What kind of lust for money do you have to have that you "HAVE to be repaid for the money I borrow from myself." Good Lord! do you people care about money THAT much that you'd be a loan shark to yourself???
"If I dont pay myself back I'll cut my legs off!" :roll:
Lets say I'm your best friend and I need to borrow $20. Do you HAVE to have that $20 back no matter what?
I have at one time given a CAR to a friend... simply because he needed one at the time and I had an extra. I never wanted payment for it and never did. I GAVE it to him I didnt LOAN it to him.
We have since parted ways, yet I still do not regret giving him that car.
There are so many people on here that need to realize there is much more to life that the "Almighty Dollar." :wink:

Wow, where to start? Lust for money, no not at all, a head for business maybe. Don't even start on me about giving, I've given a hell of a lot of my money and time that came from hanging a hell of a lot of drywall, framing a hell of a lot of metal walls, and a lot of other construction related projects that cost me sweat, blood and tears.
I gave a truck to my wife's family member so he could sell it to by his medicine that he needed, I didn't want to insult him by giving him money. I gave free room, board and food to a friend of my daughters for a year to help him get back on his feet, oh yeah, he was also an alcoholic, and with that comes a whole lot of other things that needed to be done, and cost me money, that I never asked to be paid back. I also give to charities and give to the poor when I see they need help, be it money or maybe just a sandwich, or whatever. So Please Don't Start On Me About Giving, There's To Much To List.
Having said that, when it comes to business I don't give my time away for nothing. If you're not willing to track every dollar spent in business then don't get into business. You're only hurting the rest of us, no matter the trade.
If you had to borrow money from the bank to finance your operation start up, would they not want to be repaid????? Ok then, if you finance the operation yourself then you should repay yourself with Interest!
It's not greed or selfishness it's BUSINESS!
Wow, so many correlations between trucking and construction it's unreal. You're like the guy in an old p/up truck I see in Home Depot, working cheap doing half ass work............. but it's cheap, and it is so because he doesn't know his cost.
Geezuz man, this $hit ain't hard, it's numbers.
EDIT: I had to change a "than" to a "then" so Rev wouldn't bust my chops. Dammit!
