I manage a pawnshop and, believe it or not, I am also an award winning newspaper columnist here in North Carolina.

Used to manage a pawn shop. Now I'm a professional reseller. Oh how I love not having to deal with the general public on a daily basis anymore

I put offers in on houses fairly often, this year I have a 0% effective rate, tough job but someone has to do it!

Semi retired being that stat at home dad and when the family needs money then I'll do a few trades on the market!

My wife finds me laying in the couch often but doesn't realize I just made a trade that was more than her week's salary

I sold Ferroalloys to the Steel Industry for the past 30 years. Prior to that I sold steel to fabricators and OEMs. Retired in 2020.
Now I putz around building garden boxes, cooking, and bouncing between Ilinois and Florida while my wife helps manage a Covid vaccine center. Great job for her as it got her out of the ER after 40 years.
