My brakes were in need of a change and I had my oil done at the dealership.

Doing the work myself (and using tips and trick to get high quality materials at a discount) should let me brake even.

Your comment is another tic in favor of "pump the brakes and see what happens."

But a down vote would subconsciously (hopefully) make each person really think twice about what they are going to post as an answer, it will help pump the brakes on what is currently happening.

I have a VA cold calling during the week as I have a 9-5 job to support my family and I’m not here to brake any laws or take advantage any client I come across.

I am more worried about major things braking, i.e.

Tires and brake fluid and washer fluid  thats it.. get it put it in gear mash the throttle feel the Gs and off you go..

Way to stay focused by not giving up on your goals and being persistent.Being married and the spouse is not on board or just not being very supportive can be like driving with your brakes on making it very difficult to impossible to accomplish things.

When I started in my 20s and I was able to drink brake fluid and nails for breakfast, I was listening to 3 podcasts a day and analyzing deals from sunrise to sundown.

There is no gas, no oil changes, no brake jobs (regenerative braking provides most of the stopping power), no alternator, no spark plugs, no exhaust system, no belts, etc.
