@ericgoblue: The situation you describe isn't so unusual for those of us in sales. My income is very erratic, from boom to bust. When I hit a nice commish, I divide it by x number of months that I want it to last and put 1x in the checking and all the rest into savings, etc. Then, I have my ING account set to…

I got to know him, what he wanted, why he (or she) either didn't want to or couldn't do the work themselves. Then, I applied my…
I'm gonna do my best here to explain why there is any charge at all for placing a call or sending a text. I was in the long distance telephone business several years ago and learned a few things:
