so
i just learned to live without money and
we didn't have all the sanctions children have to stay issue so
a
so really crowded or
no when the collected at terms and no bank account at a bank account my times
you know
when i went to money about because he was a little older than to call my chance

the fact
so i've always been supporting to the universe is always supporting me and i just feel so confident that the universe was supported me and when i am
i'm never going to our school and allows for the i go for it was human service and
sure that was a kind of support for every time i needed money and check when capital from place
and
when i started general patton benching sixty seven really know money and as you know i can to to care
balkans from ronnie tobacco can and
where weekend to find dollar and most dues
when shepherd bail
matter to pay his dues but he was enough and that's how are the agent and are we pay the random hundred and thirty dollars a month rent and huge difference
those your wonderful that is because he said
live on nothing in those days
the rest in a parent or the original movement which much us pretty average
that has now would be about three thousand dollars per month for the more
so because people had an opportunity to be fair some freedom
it was great time
and then ah
when there isn't changed rates went up
as a as a all the expenses went up to carefully when i was scared for three percents a gallon
sandra so inviting him to start with work
help people get caught up in frame rams was will be hassle a person salaries are more
since back but my mind that people and twelve fifty hundred dollars for as one or few roseville apartment
fisher believable to me but it's normal to younger people san francisco so anyway i still read i could still
flange oliver is in fifth place is really systems i worked as a taxi prices and wonderful thing about putting a taxi drivers to notice when election day

what a wonderful way to live with all cash
hawkins and no checks knows nothing in this way to guilders protests the usually after that such data delivered and and public money my closet and and ever committed
seems to just but we have money for the nearest
so i just learn to them that way and trusted that kind of sedatives
so when he started to live and are here
new zealand problems for bernie in terms of them
he arrives as jason developed
some your we should have a bank account florida okay
it was put my friend can then they should will be reading about added actually i didn't want to call
anima una imagine i thought has just entered incorporates the same centers these of associated with corporation
fifty cents per to point that
as one the essence for some reason we should incorporate a voice so me
should incorporate so we did and we're back down and energy corporation and of sunday
board of directors
and little by little some stones lives in that way but i never asked for money
serves the saga oasis i think you need this instantly was translated to me that daddy and into the dollars a month salary potentially it was for many years you will have be moved here after twelve years hundred to the ultimate imports and sword
room for fitness room but
so
ha
but eventually money because they didn't mean much to me
and the sun has always revise my welfare if americans want it
serves life
as the whenever we needed something i would ask the soccer and immediately rich people with continue
so we never had a financial problem
for forty years or more
so
have two steps in i felt very confident but times change
and
times have changed people get nervous
emily you know we will probably need to keep it out and so am i recognize the winning ticket to keep out our property and we need to repair his in
we have a merry stone because you're bored at this point
i'm skipping all the years between
have a very confident voted for front of people who really gets in a are concerned about maintaining this post and francisco so i'm making a compromise between my own attitude and boys attitudes which finds you know
because i listened to the goal and i a shelter his way through anything and they listen to me so i feel it's very harmonious
so where are we have more fun some ah sessions now than we ever do and last couple years you've been doing a and has been very helpful you've been able to do seismic work and been able to do repairs
me before it has no nobody thought about that in the others but now it's really big thing
and getting bigger actually
people have to really pay attention to of federal
and all that classmates but i have to say that we still do i would work
you know the two ways of going what is to hire people to do your work and he others do you work yourself our combination i liked the combination i don't like not doing our own work and just hiring people to do the workforce which means so much
or expensive i'm a real miser
so
one example is
sign because the related to do which show the bidding was from fifty thousand dollars twenty thousand dollars so we did have one hundred and fifty or a couple of hundred dollars
by yourself
be very careful
he can just money construction and familiar
so ah
you know
in the olden days
when we started past era nineteen fifty seven
it just so happens that they were how much companies
and so we did all that work with the carpenters you know and people who are handy and to do have an manual labor
and then they all disappeared of you know after the work that fluid was no longer needed but they were austen's and the same way it safe in year and we rebuilding this remodel the recent building which was once a house with the wall going over done middle
compartment on that side an apartment in the site and round with him in the first mission of here
no the i was in this picture
us
so
and then we raised that building next door
got that first four hundred
and we got a lot of carpenters they showed up carpet is your flip in magically and they did a lot of work so didn't most of the north and then through other people in to do return it was expensive but not as expensive as if he had someone else to them are so this should my kind of attitude
you know as much as we can do alone or and as much weekend to support each other and i'm hoping for a grateful for the sport i've had
and
the annoying support since for myself and now we need
to support her as it's a pleasure palace nothing strenuous
and coming out for all of
sir leslie the first so from lives
the rectangular supporting our teachers i'm not worried about my support but i am concerned about salim support
i need to support left when comes from that support she's spayed him as a friends
i don't have any desire for more supports manufacture as doesn't anymore fifteen they do
anyways and i a second term
we hope that you and move we could all contribute to that support
and i see this figure has these drinks series can has a master
so anyways thank you for your attention
