I remember seeing oil patch relatives from Midland at a funeral. They were lighting their cigars with $100 bills. Five years later at another funeral, they were bumming cigarettes. OK, the first funeral is an exaggeration but their attitudes weren't.

A lot of these guys have an attitude that the good times will go forever and have no reason to save for the future. And, a lot of them never learn. I expect that there are a lot of $60K pickups that have been repo'd.


It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.
