The wealthiest 1% do more to feed the other 99%, than your best intentions will ever allow you to do. Most of that is by creating the companies that employ you, and more charitable giving than you could ever hope to match. My charitable giving in 2014 exceeded the average American salary, and yes... I have a superb lawn, too.

An employer myself I identify with this comment 99%. The missing 1% is found in the charitable contribution part. My company has taken it on the chin in recent years and my own giving, while substantial, has gone down quite a bit. It is nowhere near your own. Congrats and thanks to you, Ashful!

A year ago my wife and I bought a house on a back road with 6 acres of wooded land and no yard to speak of. Well I fired up the saws and took down all the trees I could ( there were 3 to close to the house and were leaning that way I hired a tree removal service to take them down) and now a nice little lawn but the best part is I got about 10 cord of good hardwood fire wood and about 2 cord of pine.

About the same situation for me about 5 years ago. Wish I had some before and after pics. Before I cut 5 40"+ white oaks down I could basically weed eat my yard. This is what it looks like now. This was my grandparents place and there wasn't a lawn for decades until now. Still have a few bare spots but there slowly closing in. Been wanting to grind some stumps but it keeps getting put off
