    Well we all know this . We need money to buy things and live
    I see what I make does not go as far .
    Yet scrapping has taught me reality , sure I liked CU at $2.75 #
    or Mix @ $275.00 GT & the list goes on
    I am still grateful I can get $1.57 # for CU or $120 per GT for mix .

    I have learned we all are in charge of our ultimate finical health
    from age 23 to now (I am 57 ) $500 per month investments in Gold , Silver .some stocks
    would of been Key & I'd be well off
    I had the ability and then some !!!
    But no I wanted - cars - toys - vacation - what ever was in my head I got
    I ran the gravy train with no worry of the future . So thats me .
    So scrap taught me a truth of value ( real value ) that lets you see the truth of
    inflation and deflation .
    A pound of copper now will be a pound of copper next week , but money value ??
    Any way 100% of scrap recycling I do is free find wile I go about normal trips of life
    so no matter what they pay it's kinda like 90 % pure profit & depending on how you
    see the gathering and driving to yard and finding more each way the other percent is
    kinda work but not
    ( it's time ) time is not forever.
    I've sold enough copper in my life ,
    if it's ever $20 #
    I'll say I remember when i was selling each week 100#
    If only I knew .
    Life is hard to win .
    I work to live ,
    I sell scrap to survive and invest .



    Wile I visually messed my life with scrap (inventory)
    I bless the enlightenment .
