    He’s been here for twenty years. He made 500k last year. He’s a big advocate of pulling yourself up from your bootstraps. That’s his story as an immigrant from Mexico who had nothing and now has a good career.

    More Americans could learn from immigrants and pulling themselves up instead of expecting things to come to them.

      You know the phrase pulling yourself up by your boot straps was first invented to make fun of people like you? Lmao

        Someone is awfully judgy. He’s a traveling nurse. He goes from assignment to assignment.

        I’m only at that house a few weeks out of the year. So I have no issue renting a room to a good cause.

            How is that an own? I provide temporary living to traveling nurses.

            That’s smart living. I’m there about two weeks every quarter. They want a home to live in. Works great for everyone.

            If you think being successful is an own, then I own it.
