I"m not complaining here, just wondering if anyone else is in a similar situation. I have had to put my tractor hobby on complete hold. It"s about all I can afford at this time just keeping up with the maintenance on them for now. I make a very good wage, more than I ever dreamed I would make years ago, and have been blessed is so many ways that I could never list it all here. But is seems the spare money I had 5 years ago for my tractors and such has all but dried up. My wages have not moved in about 10 years and it seems everything has shot through the roof to buy. If I was to loose my job it wouldn"t be long before the wolf was at the door. I had to stop the 401 K a while back to try and help my daughter who has made some poor choices. Please don"t take this as a complaint. I am so blessed. It just worries me that it takes every penny I make just to live right now. My wife is worried that if the tax man gives us bad news it could sink us. I have not bought anything I owe on since 2008 when I bought a truck. Had the last one 25 years. So my payments have not changed. Just living seems to be eating it all up. The Lord has always provided for me and I"m sure he always will meet my needs. Seems that play money is a thing of the past though.
