I have owned a small painting business for 30 years. High end residential painting. A lot of hand holding and catering to the whims of my clients. Very personalized service. 30 years ago I had a house, with mortgage, raised two boys, always had a bit of money in reserve. Now I am job to job. Paycheck to paycheck. Often the money in my wallet is all I have. Lost the house in the mortgage debacle, rent an old shack of a house and have a 20 year old beater car that I work out of. But DJ is in the White House making america great again. "The economy is booming".
