So Question is what do you guys/gals do for a living?

Let's start with me (I guess ) ... I am a co-owner of an Internet Service Provider. My wife is an accountant.

What's yours?

Well, I work on the used side so technically we sell everything, not just Saturns. I have had 3 Saturns now and I do like them but our dealership group also owns the Mercedes Benz store here in Regina. I do fairly well in sales and I like to think I am a big deal so why not?

The Aura fully loaded is only about $50/month less than my Benz...for $50 I will take the MB any day.

2008 C350 & other fine MB products
I just live the dream...
Oh, I have owned a business since 21. Now 39,
Running a business is easy, managing employees S U C K S.

I have a 2007 S550, Tan/Tan wife car - I FN hate it.
I drive a 2007 ML550 Silver/Black - love it.
The White 2008 C350 w/two tone is my "other daily driver" and the car I will give my daughter in a couple years when she turns 15.5.

Too funny. I also co-own an ISP (we mainly do colo's and dedicated servers) and my wife's a Controller. The hosting is a side gig left over from when I had my consulting business. These days I'm in charge of software development and infrastructure for a golf company.

Trust fund

<<i should have been honest and just said trust fund. LOL>>

I'm fairly sure there are a few trust fund babies on this list. I shall say no more. Well, about that, at least.

5.
+1 for managing employees teh SUCK! especially if they are "semi-skilled" trades people. Not as abundant as nor professional real trades people, but still have the attitude.

Just passed 2nd year mark of running a small but my own show. Plan on paying off the loan in 5 yrs, just in time to move up to E.
