And twenty years later, I can tell you definitively that a lot of guys who worked and worked constantly to do well in their careers for their early years routinely end up running for all they're worth on the hamster wheel of debt and credit, saddled with a wife who can barely stand them and couldn't run a family's finances to save her life.The incredibly stupid things I've heard some of some of my old acquaintances (and family members) doing in marriage sicken me.

We routinely refer out leads that are non deals for us.

But I knew in the back of my mind that if her plans didn't work out, there could end up being some substantial risk for me if interest rates popped.
