I decided to wait 15 more minutes then drive the 3 hours home.. well they showed up at 3:14 I hoped in their Caddy drove them by the lots I wanted to sell them they picked 2 without getting out of the car would pay cash.. ( I got 15% commish for cash sales) so two lots 7k  1% a little over 1k in income and drove home.. so had about 6 hours of drive time 3 hours of wait time so I calculated I made about 100 dollars an hour on those folks.. when my last job was bagging groceries at 1.65 and hour.. and a great job was 10 bucks an hour..

And believe me, we have earned EVERY penny of it, as the family has repeatedly brought in bedbugs, lives in incredible filth, refused to pay their tiny portion of the rent, concealed earnings from Sec 8 - not, of course, the father's - he never has worked - but the high school aged sons' earnings, and even brought in a young teenage girl who we were quite sure was the next wife - she disappeared after we called the authorities about that.So it's really been a mixed bag. 

You'll pay for it with youthful sweat (my pseudo-case), making some hard mistakes (also me, but to a lesser extent), formal paid education (not really my bag...yet), etc. and the non-quantifiable "hitting a single instead of a double."

I asked why,,,he said there is no base under it,,,the concrete had turned to dust. 

What you really want, boiled down to its simplest terms, is to go up to the second window and have them pass out a bag with two tangy flaked and formed pork sandwiches in it, and no need to go for the extra value meal to get a deal.

You don't need to feel you owe him, but don't leave him in the dust either.3.

I used to play a ton of golf and always walked and packed my bag.. that along 130 rounds  a year was good for 10 to 15 lbs.. on my frame.. but dont golf anymore so have to work out.

I did it at 31, but nobody was asking me for advice as I drove my beater with my brown-bagged lunch living in a trailer park.Most won't work and sacrifice enough, not to mention bother to get their phone out of their face long enough to even meet people or do critical thinking of their own.

@Shane H. that certainly sucks and I have had dirt bag tenants as well and to this day if my wife utters their names it ticks me off all over again, sounds pathetic but its true.  

Sadly, someone's going to be left holding the bag.
