Living for today - Planning for Tomorrow
There is no question that my weakness in life has been automobiles. I just love them. There is also no question that nothing has had a higher impact on my net worth. Due to the crazy housing market, there is no question that my house has helped me increase my net worth significantly. Sure, there have been expenses to deal with, but I’ve still seen
This guy in England didn’t want to spend the money on brake fluid for his car so he decided to just fill the brake reservoir with vegetable oil. He had already rolled up an old carpet and used it as his front bumper. Â
