The worst thing they can say is NO...And if I had a dollar for every time I've been told NO, I would be retired in Italy sipping wine. 

On top of the ~$650 for groceries, we were spending about $450 more a month on eating out and of course millennials love craft beer and nice wine(lol).We went from 0-100 from the beginning and started eating out only once a week and gave ourselves a $50/week grocery budget except when we needed paper goods.

They get nearly three times as much snow as anywhere else nearby.. the area is also over the top in wine production and consumption.

Now its not all Wine and Roses, the GFC took a huge bit out of our personal wealth etc and I would say 90% of all PML or HML that were up and running then went out of business.

Thanks @Nicolas Ake - Looking forward to connecting with you

Hike, camping (especially this year), ride bike, exercise, sit by the fire in the evenings with a glass (bottle) of wine, cook, go to live concerts, and talk with my significant other about the travel we will do when travel restrictions are lifted.

And of course I am sure Grant is getting a slice just like any other pitchman/women gets a slice for advertising Nike's or whatever or second labelling wine.. 

I am counting on good genes and good luck because I like to eat and I like good wine (and even not so good wine)!

I was at a walk up eating bar a few years ago at Ohare airport in Chicago and the guy next to me did not tip on probably a 30 to 40 dollar ticket food and two glass's of wine. the gal serving him was semi devistated the guy was kind of put off like what are you talking about..

Go somewhere you actually like.for weather nothing beat California.. hands down..  20k will get you in a nice place in Lake co California  northern end of the famous wine country.. 2.5 hours to SF and Sacramento  1.5 hours to ocean..
