  Nothing worth doing is easy.   It's one of the trades I'm interested in.

  You have to "rent" your car every day for $100, then you have
to wash it every day for $7.50, and Gas every day is around $30.  So just
to break even I have to bring in $137.50.  Last night I didn't come close,
so I lost $75 for the night.

  Sounds like a better way of doing things.

  I'm finished. :)  I'm going to live on savings for now.  Had a interview
today with a firm.  Fingers are crossed!

  Sad sad times.
