In Reply to: Do we make to much money posted by John in La on February 26, 2017 at 17:14:22:

All depends on how you look at it. I have rented storage, but only for temporary use while I was in process of moving for the most part. On the other hand, renting storage benefits those who invest in building the facilities. Someone once said something that has stuck with me.....if we take all the money and evenly distribute it out to everyone (at least in the US), it would very likely end up back where it originated with few exceptions. Every day I see the people who stand at the counter scratching lottery tickets, most of those really cannot afford to own their own home, likely have some sort of government assistance, but somehow think that buying those tickets might at any time land them in the good life without having to work for it (notice I said "most"). How many actually win those big prizes, and are successful after? My guess is the money would end up right back either in the governments hands, or to those who are smart enough to sell them on frivolous things (perhaps storage facilities). Do we make too much money? Perhaps the question should be "Do we make more money than we can manage?" On the other hand, I do spend some money frivolously on some things, but life is short, and I look at it this way.....as long as I do not do it on the backs of others and still support myself and family - who is to say what I spend it on? My dad used to say "I came into this world naked, and might as well go out the same way". In some ways, I think he might have had a good point.....spend every dime before you leave this world, as you sure cannot take it with you. Just some thoughts.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana. ... [Read Article]
