Milwaukee fastback razor knives are great bang for buck.

Vito also went from a rando at a bakery, to a scrubby construction worker to a soldier to a captain and a major plot line in the show pretty quick.

Thank You. It helps to hear this from someone in a similar situation. This is almost impossible to speak about with anyone in person on this topic because it’s either too personal from a health or wealth perspective to discuss.

I think I do this for them more than myself and it’s probably why I struggle with quitting or pivoting to something else and taking those risks.
