Rod, you are incorrect.
UPS did not make me a millionaire.
As I stated before, my pension is only 20% of my monthly cash flow.
I was offered higher paying non union jobs, but I would have to move from my land and travel.
My little satellite route? You really do not have a clue.
12 hour days was my norm for 19yrs.
I just took the O.T. money and paid off all debt.
Brown bagged my breakfast, lunch and just drank water for all my working life.
My wealth came from saving, study and investing.
My cost per share when I invested in GOOG stock is $75.00 and each share is now worth just under $3,000. 00 per share.
I bought into AMZN at $168.00 a share and now it it is north of $3,500.00 per share.
These are only 2 stocks in my portfolio.
Bought undeveloped cheap land in the Texas Hill country 18yrs ago that is now selling from $50,000.00 to $100,000.00 an acre.
Sold it last year at a hefty profit.
So Rod,
tell me how the teamsters and UPS are the sole reasons for my financial security.
That is the reality that saved my ass.
