I started working at the age of 8 helping my dad who was a master mechanic . At 17 I went to work for a great radio maker and worked my way to warranty tech . I did that for 12 years and was making 11.25 hr when the company closed. It was now 1989 and times were hard I was living on my own but was not married thank god. I went in the NAVY on submarines and you get a lot of special pays on submarines .In just 1.5 years with all the special pays I made 42k a year . I was going to stay in for 20 or more I bought a new car and a lot of other stuff and was going to use my re up bonus but I got nailed with a chain while doing a torpedo reload test. I went from 42k to 25k over night and could no re up for the bonus. I was lucky I had put about 28k in the bank My dad touh me how to save . He was a mechanic for over 30 years . The stupid part of me ran up my credit cards during the times money was tight. So you never know what can happen over night. It not fun being in a wheelchair when you planed on haveing a great life.
