    Happy Independence Day! I'm Matt from San Antonio

    Good morning everyone, I've been recycling metals for years and recently started my computer recycling business (full time, to my wife's dismay . I have a lot of good, honest answers and opinions that I hope can help my fellow scrappers. Before starting my business I worked on cars for 17 years. I am a veteran of the USMC and a staunch republican. I also like cats and diet Pepsi. Nice to make y'all's acquaintance!

    I wanted to comment on your Wife's dismay. You'll have to prove to her that you can do this and make a believer out of her.
    I've spent the last two years scrapping part time, working my tail off plus working a full time job. I told my Wife when I started that I was going to save up and buy her a new car. I told her that it might take 1 year or maybe 2 or 3 years but it would happen. She never really believed I would be able to do this but it happened the other day. She is a believer now.
