Not a billionaire.
A lady asked me once, "How does it feel to be rich."
I chuckled. I guess teen Codie would think I was rich. Feels weird.
I still worry about $. I DO pinch myself I haven't had debit card balance go negative in a long time. 🤷♀️

@UAcquisitions So I guess depending on how you slice it it's like 20-35 companies, the structures get a lil convoluted.
TLDR:
- it took me 13 years to accumulate these
- I've bought and sold many biz's
- who knows if they'll all work out

@UAcquisitions My goal is never to have a big #, it's to have FUN, PROFITABLE, MAIN STREET ENABLING boring biz's that:
- cashflow
- and are good for the country I love
If we all own & give a lil love to SMB's we won't be a nation of super centers.
I like that idea.
