OK
First here is the situation. The home building market colapses causing me to get out of home building and leaving me with about 150K in debt. My first wife leaves me because I kept getting deployed with the Guard. I manage to land a SWEET full time army job with full beni's plus housing allowence and then wife number 2 bolts because due to lack of manpower I have involentarily been moved to nights and she doesnt want to be alone (thinks i work to much now) . So I am 0 for 2. I work 4-12hour night shifts and I am off 3. I dont want to go out and carry on like some so I have decided to use my new found hobby to work on my Debts.
Here is the plan:
I am going to try and break all records for treasure hunting on an individual scale by using my new hobbies to wipe out as much debt in 6 months as possible. I will use both my metal detector and coin roll hunting and keep a running total for you guys. I make 1LT pay plus beni's and dont have alot of bills just alot of debt. I plan to use every pay check in full and buy 2300 dollars in coins 2x a month every month and search them while on night shift. taking them back to my bank the next day (maybe two thats alot of coins). Because I dont need to pay my bills the second I get my check I will try and do it twice every pay period. So that would be 4x a month with $2300. Plus any thing else I can find with my metal detector which I will use 4 hours per day plus 8 hours on days off from work. Minus drive times and any days I get to spend with my 2 sons. Of course my 8yo is getting a detector asap.
The trick.........
to find the gold and silver and other valuables as fast as I can and photograffed for you guys and get them sold! As close to maket as worldly possible to return the investment money back so I can pay bills with it. The golden number is 150k in six months.
Reality of it...
Dont worry I have other incomes that I use to pay the debts with so nobody is getting starved their money. So by the time the 6 months is up hopefully that debt is gone anyways. But it is a good challenge.
For those of you that took the time to read all of this give me your feed back and let me know if its a dream worth doing or if I am nuts!
