I am not a merchandiser. At least I don't think I am. I sell seeds retail but its my business. I don't work for someone else. I would have to look up the definition of merchandiser to be sure. My son met a man this week who makes 500 thousand dollars a year. He is an eye surgeon and owns an eye clinic in Russellville as well. He has a very young pretty wife who is my sons girlfriends sister. I will never make a half million dollars a year. I think it is possible for me to make 150 thousand a year if I continue to work my ass off and invest. I'm pretty sure 500 thousand a year is way out of my reach.
