dar is right about ketchup on a hot dog. In Chicago, only children do that.

Merc,

I'm in Central, FL between Orlando and Gainesville. Bought a 3,000 square foot house cash for $70k, and I'm putting another $30k cash into fixing it up into a very nice place.

Between the house insurance and property taxes, I'll be paying less than 200 a month and I've got my own well so I don't have to pay for water.

Last year I paid off all my debts to credit cards, student loans, car payments, etc.

So now I have no rent or house payment, no credit card payments, no student loan payments, no car payments, etc. I could get by on pretty much nothing. My wife could support all 3 of us on the money she makes doing nails...which ain't much.

I figured this would give me a chance to make the hot dog biz work out well, but as luck would have it, I may have an IT job out here making the same money I made in Los Angeles. It's a swing shift job so I'll have the day time to run my cart. Even without the really good job, I'd be able to save a ton of money by just running the cart, but if I do both, I'll be one tired...and financially secure....man.

I'm still getting used to the weather. I've never sweat so much in my life.
