So I gave my oldest children a speech one night about “ how life is short, do what makes you happy for a career, skill trades are an honest career.......
My oldest son wrote a speech about my advice, won some contests and just before he was to have state essay “contest” the whole Covid shit shut everything down.
so now 1 year wiser, and seeing hard working people bust their ass to get by and dying suddenly.... I say go buy your rifles, shoot competitions, go have fun and die broke. Let your kids shoot competitions. Live life

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming "Wow! What a Ride!”

My in-laws lived their lives like this. Now they’re moving in with us because my father in law is falling apart at 62 and they have nothing to retire on.

Im not about to tell someone how to live their life, but if you’re a grown ass man that can’t support himself you’re a loser in every sense of the word. At least set aside enough that you’ll never be that guy…..

While I whole heartedly agree with living your life, making memories, buy that rifle, shoot the match etc etc.....There's something to be said for leaving behind a "legacy" of some type to your little minions. Wether that be multiple dozens of firearms, mountains of debt, thousands or a few million dollars inheritance, or nothing but great memories, we are going to leave them with something. Make it something good and that is beneficial to them. :) (y)

30+ years ago a friend said to me "Buy all the guns you want now, before you get married!"
20+ years ago another friend said "Guns will never be cheaper than they are right now."

Armed with those two powerful pieces of advice, I managed to get quite deep in debt and avoid ever having a wife.

This past November I finally became debt free for the first time in close to 30 years.
I celebrated this event by ordering a rifle and immediately going back into debt! :D

Decided I was never having kids before I knew how to make them. Was also told I was going to die young, never planned to see 40. Everyday now is an extra in a life so far filled with memories and experiences. I’ll leave my wife with a pension and I’ll want for nothing til the day I die. The trip is what’s worth it.
