I've done logging and landclearing for going on 22 years now,hope I can make it to 23 with the way the economy is!!!
I've collected enough "toys" along the way that I can usually sell/buy or trade for more without taking too much money out of pocket. That really helps now,as my oldest is in college.Good news is I have 9 years to save up until the next daughter goes.
Hey Biggie,here's my tractor-

One more detail on saving the pocket change. Sometimes I "manufacture" change. Say I buy some thing that costs $1.03. I will pay for it with $2.00 even if I already have the 3 cents. This may be cheating a bit, but it works, and so far, I have gotten away with it.
I still sneak quite a few items into the house just so nobody realizes how successfull I've been.

I give 50 hours a week to a rental company where we rent anything from a sledgehammer to 30 thousand pound excavators to john q public..... which is quite fun sometimes. And on the weekends for my fun money I'm a archery associate at bass pro shops in the archery department of course.
I make my own bows so I don't have a huge expense in custom bows.

A job that pays very well, no kids, no car payments (drive an old Suburban with 250K miles on it), NYC rental property, huge coin jar like some of the other folks (I've paid for hunts and vacations with that jar when it's too full to move!) and basically being frugal.

My wife reads my posts from time to time so you'll only see the official way. I get to expense mileage when I drive my vehicle to secondary locations at work. I carefully calculate my costs and anything I get back I split with the Mrs.
Hunting is my primary hobby so it gets paid first.

I'm a CPA so I do some tax work on the side that takes care of my reasonable hunting trips. This will be my last year being the Treasurer for my archery club and if i can replace that time with paying customers I'll be able to hunt africa and alaska every year. lol

I'm retired so the SS, and pension go to pay bills but I work part time delivering catered food. The salary (if you can call it that) and tips are saved to pay for my day to day expenses and all hunting, golf and fishing trips. Also have a large gun collection and accumulation of junk so I sell that off piece by peice.
