Not to be critical or encourage debt or anything, but couldn't you get a loan against the priniciple, write off the interest, and earn 5% or so on that money while maintaining the money to pay off the note rather immediately. Granted with all the financial doom it may not be a smart time to do this.


... yes, yes it would... but, lol, I really don't like doing all that kinda stuff any more... and cuz for me it's just tooooo busy-ness like.
(lol, tooo much to remember to do)

I owned a liquor/video store for like 10 years, and I was like a bus-i-ness drone, or married to the business, and just about 24/7 it was too. I did the books, paid the payroll, saw all the movies coming out so I'd know what to order, and maintained/stocked a rather large inventory of booze to boot. And boy oh boy let me tell ya, like just 5 cases of booze can cost ya some 3000 bucks too... dang, but booze is expensive to keep on hand. But anyways... I went through state and federal audits (liquor stores in general are just prime for them too... I had no idea, lol) and bankers (they just have a heavy duty thang about inventory loans on booze... which, and come this here holiday time of the year... is more than often needed too... and as in say multi cases of asti and champagne brands as opposed to usually just having so many bottles of each brand always on hand)

Soooo, when I got out of that small business sorta world, I just vowed to myself for to keep it all just as simple as possible. I short form now, and that's even a bitch for me to get myself to sit down to do. And... I really really do not want to do all of that busy-ness kinda stuff anymore... lol, I'd just rather be outside and playing I guess.... it's a lot more funner.
