I have to agree with ya on that one. Think of all the people you've sat down and broken bread with in the past 3 years and how many of those people wouldn't be willing to do it today.

Cory's the only one on MY list - that I know of, lol.

2006 was quite enlightening for me.

I don't think it was - in the right way. IMO.

Lord knows I've made enemies through the years, but my livelyhood no longer depends on getting along with people (wow, that was a funny comment, but it's true). Just like when all I had was freesites, if everyone hated my guts, I was still getting paychecks. When I was at WEG I had to be nice, but 99.9% of the time I liked the people I was being nice to. Now that I'll hopefully be doing medical coding and real estate investing, people don't need to like me. Though I'll do everything I can just because that's me

You're in a position where you can catch a LOT more flies with honey than with vinegar. You CAN be a well behaved nice guy - I've seen it. Being that more often could put more $$$ on the table. You and I aren't that far away from retirement years. The more in the bank now, the better off we're going to be in our 70's (though the bank I refinanced my house with has now sent me 2 letters a week about mortgage life insurance so I'm beginning to think they know something I don't.......).

I'm not saying kiss the asses of those that don't deserve to be kissed, but playing nice on the school yard isn't selling yourself out.

They have a saying at AEBN - "We got this".

Thank you for your support.
