We were living in Kansas, Kirt was still in the military. Wayne called to invite Kirt to join him in his roofing business. "There way surely enough roofs to keep two families supported". "It pays well, and you will earn $3000 a month!"
We planned for that even though many advised us not to go into business with family, we were naive and even remarked, "If anyone can go into business with Wayne it would be Kirt as he gets along with everyone and had a good business head."
Kirt went out from Kansas and bought us a house- 900 Sq. ft. for $100,000.
Our house payment without taxes would be just over $1000 a month. We never actually made $3000 any month. Each Friday, Wayne would give Kirt a check for $500- his earnings for the week. I went and stood in line at the bank to put half in savings and half in checking. The savings so we would have money to pay the mortgage, and the checking to pay for food, and all other expenses.
