["I feel like if there's one thing equal to if not greater than sex it's seeing all my bills paid, debt nonexistent, income far greater than expenses and a nice fat check from tax returns at the end of the year."]
I agree, man. Almost nothing feels as good as financial security.
There are a lot of things to be depressed about in this world.  But if there's one thing that warms my heart it's seeing all my bills paid, debt nonexistent, income far greater than expenses and a nice fat check from tax returns at the end of the year.
