There are a lot of people in South Texas that can relate to every word you just said. However .... the lucky ones have oil and gas on their land and they are dirty rich now. And their lives are all messed up because they have no idea what to do with the money except get into trouble. Even the super teeny weeny royalty we get from some land my Mother "once" owned is a couple of thousand a year and the original 1 percent (or less) is divided god knows how many ways with uncles, cousins, brothers, etc. And we don't even own the land. So we all drown our sorrows in Kava. (Heh, heh, heh).
PS. I have a good friend who raises trophy bucks on his ranch. He sells deer hunts for 10K minimum. He is doing pretty good and the bucks he raises can only be described as amazing. "That's the way you do it, your money for nothing and your chics for free."
