My situation is essentially I've had to liquidate much of my $ to assist a family member out of a major bind with their health (bless the medical system <rolls>) and that has put me into debt in a big way and my income barely covers my base expenses (not counting other necessities...gas... food.. etc).

I have a few rental units at the moment but hopefully my next project will be a rehab and sell deal followed by more rehabs and more rentals.My plan is to have maybe 6 months to 1 years worth of living expenses like mortgage, food, gas ect., that's going to be hard but if things work out well enough to do it full time then it should be possible.

We did have about 2,500 jars of food dating back to the 1970's in ours.

The US may not manufacture as much as it used to but we export billions upon billions of agriculture, food etc. and medical supplies to name a few things.

And if the postal carrier didnt put it message side up we are screwed...Unless your post card is the same on both sides..Mine is, Yes I took out the "reasons" for selling but kept everything else..Just food for thought..Michael Quarles

We essentially have nothing to sell the rest of the world except for food and raw materials.

Their food isn't mcdonalds, either.
