My 32 year career Odyssey has been a comedy of tragedies.
2 years into owner operatorship in 98 a blown engine with a repair bill of 11k left me in bankruptcy court. A bounce back with a second truck and a sell of it for my dream truck (kay dubbya) made me think I was in a pretty good financial position.
Wrong
A drunk driver who owned nothing was a horrible way to find out how under insured I was. Fast forward to today. I have fought my way back. Had a pretty good slush fund. The globalist cabal of tyrants doubled our taxes and wiped that out. Like a perfect storm of the penny less drunk and lack of insurance. I find myself behind the 8 ball again with the loss of my high dollar Freight cutting my weekly earnings by more than 50%
I will never get over the drunk bitch setting me back 10 years financially. And I will not truck till I am 70.
So retirement may be a struggle. But it will be done.
Familiar story, I don't mean the truck thing, but the challengea people face these days and how hard it is to get even one step ahead of the game. Life is complicated and also somewhat out of our control.
