I don't pretend to be one and I allow them to do their job.

I guess to do that we should use a theoretical example.Let's pretend that we have a rental property that rents for $1,000 per month, electricity bill is $180 per month average.

If you take retirement accounts out and only look at what I would consider "accessible cash" ( I would never dip into retirement savings so I prefer to pretend I don't have that money) then this number is closer to 85 or 90%. 

After I had the police check into it, they changed their story and said it was a friend pretending to shoot stuff in their house with their hands.

I pretend to be a landlord, but really I'm an environmentalist, or is it that I pretend to be an environmentalist, but really I'm a cheapskate who doesn't wish to fork over my money(or my tenant's hard earned money) to the utility company?

@Michael Newman pretend for a minute you're in the lender's shoes you are talking to.
