I go to Home De Pot and Blowe’s for putting out flyers and my son likes making things with PVC pipe for fun.

Thanks@Jay HinrichsHaha I'm not sure if that's a reference to the rainfall or the pot laws in Washington state but yes, there is very little grass that is greener than in Washington state@Dmitriy Fomichenko and @Paul TimminsThanks

If you were flipping houses (successfully), you'll have a much bigger pot from which to draw on in retirement.  

All I'm looking to do is stir the pot really.

" Tempest in a Tea Pot " as they say!

I bet over 80% who send out first batch and fail never do another ... as for us Californians its like those that got rich in the gold mining days.. they were the one's selling the pots and pans  :)  best of luck 

Is it the legal pot? 

they came up in the morning back in Napa valley in time for cocktails. and the deal was done.. we had 10 days to close .Yep, agreed ... different game, different rules, different number of zeros on purchase prices (for sure), overhead (perhaps), and profits (hopefully) ... and I'm not at all trying to "dis" that game (which I think you understand), it is just not one that I prefer to play, at least not at this time ... pluses and minuses to everything and there are more than one way for each of us to make it to our own personal Valhalla ... great discussion and I love your perspective Jay, which is why I always try to "stir the pot" with your comments a bit and thanks for allowing me to do that, but getting off topic at this point so I'll probably leave it at that for now ... 

My only option is traditional IRA’s and I really want to create a pot of tax free income at retirement to offset the taxable income from my rental income.

First, the whole apartment smelled like pot (illegal in Indiana), then we found some of it in two of the rooms, dog pee stains on the carpet, multiple pieces of furniture left in the rooms, trash everywhere, animals in the freezer, full fridge, mold in the bathroom, chewed up internet cords, and holes in the carpet.
