I think I know a forum member who could use a job. He didn't get much work in this week but I'm not sure he would be a good fit. Especially if you guys do actual work there.
Yep. They stuck it to us, too ...
I always have gun money. That is if it's a deal and I believed in owning firearms. 
Fences are EXPENSIVE!!!
We priced it for our house....8,000 for shadow fence where the planks are staggerd for wind pass thru.
That is removal of the one we have and putting in new.
We have a large yard.
We have been debt free since 2010 or so. Paid off the home 15 years early by doubling up on the principal payments. Worked 200-400 hours overtime a year with an above average wage putting every dime of overtime money into investments and savings.
Lived below our means, drove vehicles for 10-15 years, putting what should have been payments into savings to pay cash for the next one and so on.
I learned how to day trade on the 401K with the company covering all the transactions for several years.
Fortunately, we never had major financial issues like health or other issues to deplete the savings, so life in retirement is good now. The farmland has been paid off for years, others lease it for cash rent now to farm it, and there is some oil/gas income for mailbox money. Windfarm has us under contract if they can find some dumbass to buy their "green energy". They send a nice check every year to keep us in the contract.
We have seen a lot of our friends growing up, always needing the newest latest whizbang, shelling out thousands they had to take a loan on just so they could say "I own one of these", when they should have put the money into an investment.
Buy a home they can't afford to keep up "appearances", and so on. At retirement age, they can't retire because they have house payments, car payments, and squandered all of their savings on toys, so they keep on working until they die.

Well, it would be a lot fatter if I would stop buying guns.
Oh, we do actual work. Trust me I have four palletizers I run and I operate a forklift most of the night.
Thanks to blessings from above, a good job, Army pension, and being relatively frugal (value oriented) the current administration has not yet stopped me from adding to the ole' nest egg. But, the "chicks" in it sure ain't growing like they used to. Been worried about myself, cause I have not bought any guns or ammo since May!
All I can say about this is, make sure enough taxes are being withheld.
