Don't wanna hear it :D , there probably won't be any retirement or SS for me :very mad: , the way things are going with this economy. I've been paying SS since I started working at 15yrs old. My only big advantage is, the only debt I currently have is the house we just built and nothing else.

Lordy, Lordy, I'll be 40 this year. Almost all grown up :chuckles:

Well I started by latest gun buying spree in January 2012 when I bought a 500 Smith & Wesson. Since then I have purchased a CZ 82, an East German Mak, a Russian Mak, a polish P64, a Taurus PT709, a Baretta Bobcat, and 6 Mosin Nagants(including 2 rare or uncommon Finns). By the way I am 70 years a kid. I also have others that my son and grandsons will enjoy some day.

I spent my last birthday riding Friday night partol with the local county police. What a blast.

My name is Howard and I am41 years old. I have three kids (5yrs, 3yrs, and 7 1/2 months), so I feel even older most days :lol:.

Oh and I am pretty much retired since the manufacturer I worked for shipped all our jobs over to China and we found out daycare and gas would cost more than I would make :lol:. I have been buying firearms for about 5 years, but only recently was really bitten. I love the bolt action milsurps all of the sudden and my wife believes I need an intervention :chuckles:
