Are you with clients or relaxing on the Sabbath Day?

By
Industry Observer

Working several months now on a project in San Jose, we were finally given a 2 day weekend.

 

I remember years ago when I would work real estate in the mornings till around 2-3pm and then change my office clothes into construction clothes and work until midnight.

 

I did this for around 5 years until the market crashed around 2006-2007.

 

These days when I try and think back, I wonder how I did it?

And was it really worth it? Losing all that time in my life.

 

It's all about money I quess, people with large overhead, maybe thinking if they work 2 jobs they can retire early.

 

Well these days, Vegas Bob takes advantage of ever Sunday he can. To chill, recharge and heal from the 6 days per week.

 

So many times in my life, I have thought of work as over rated.

 

Really ...

 

"How much money do we really need? 

And we can't take it with is when were gone ;o)

I'll be stopping by one of my open houses today VB which is being held by my buyer's agent. I did some marketing for it and checked in on ActiveRain, tonight I'll have to prepare for a meeting with an appraiser first thing in the morning ... other than that, I am enjoying some down time.

Your last line, "How much money do we really need?  And we can't take it with us when were gone," says it all, Bob.

I spent the first half of my life collecting things, and I'm spending the second half getting rid of them.
