| $100,000 line stage Dave (dicockrum),How prophetic your initial post turned out to be 😊Charles | |
| $100,000 line stage Dave (dicockrum),+1 yours is a wise observation. Why be concerned regarding what another person chooses to do with their own money? Each and everyone of us has our own individual budget limit for a variety of diverse reasons. To each their own is... | |
