What are you Thankful for?

[Dale Osborn]

With Thanksgiving arriving next week, we all need to take some time off and enjoy our families during the holidays. Also we need to contemplate exactly what we are thankful for.

I am Thankful for my wife who after I lost my job did not let me sit around and cry tears in my beers. Instead she had me start looking for an apartment building to buy. Therefore, 3 months after losing my JOB we had our first apartment building in July 1994. She quit her JOB in September 1994 and we have both been full time real estate investors since then. I have seen several tenants who lost their jobs 5 years ago and are still crying tears in their beers. They are not looking for a job. They are freeloading off of their girlfriend who provides them with a place to stay, money to buy the beers and a shoulder to cry on.

Man, am I ever Thankful that is not me doing that! How about the rest of the group - just what are you Thankful for during this time of Thanksgiving??

Congrats Bryan and Charles on the new babies!

I'm actually thankful that we didn't have a baby this week! The little guy tried his best to break free about two months early, but the doctors convinced him that we'd be okay without the extra tax break this year...
