Hi E_K_S,

That's great.

I have never really understood the concept of free cash flow, but you just defined it completely!

It really shows how important it is to start investing early in life.

I worked my way thru college that was cooperative. 6 weeks of work and six weeks of school, and 3 weeks of work in August,which I always had to do - because I was in poverty.

Paying tuition, insurance on my car,and renting an apartment absorbed the generous UAW rate wages I was earning. It took me 6 years before I had a full time work paycheck, and I invested 25% of the take home every month.

Then paying off a cr, then buying a home and paying it off, plus furnature and appliiances - it takes a lifetime.

Dividend payers and doubles really are wealth defining moments and it takes many at first and just a few when you accumulate big quantities of shares that take off, or get bought out.

I remember when Texaco got bought out. One of the GMI students I sponsored thru Kettering,father worked for Texaco. He retired very early in life - about 55 of age.

He wanted his son to go thru a work experience as he did with Texaco.

Work Coop environments keep students gtrunded and business oriented. No woke crap at Ketteirng!

GMI was so conservative. One day I was sent home to get a hair ut because my hair touched my ears. I was also told that a yellow shirt wirth a blue tie was not fitting attire. It was a white shirt with a blue tie period.

Very different from what students in colleges experienced in the 1970s!

I did not like the environment, but it was a work environment.

In my class of 2000 engineer students there were less than 10 female students.

Not the usual college experience for sure!

It reinforced my view of needing aneducation to escape the poverty of entry level and student class poverty.

I graduated with honors and was offered a MBA for free, and just could not stand more poverty and scohlastic study. I NEEDED a PAYCHECK!

Those cash free dividends are truly a statement to your conservative persistence - KUDOS!
