There's also the fact that very few homeowners have paid off their mortgage. You can call me crazy for wanting to go it alone - it wouldn't be the first time I've been called it.
Some people think I'm crazy for doing my show, or saying I don't pay federal taxes. No one ever got anywhere without risk, and nothing worth doing is easy. Being comfortable is nice, but I'd rather be free. I'm willing to spend all my money and time getting there. What else do I have to do with my life? I've got a beautiful lady, a nice place to live, and am surrounded by wonderful people. Time to make a stand.
