Last updated December 24, 2008 Hello From Oregon! I'm NOT Here to Pull Your Leg . . . My name is Warren Contreras, I'm a retired computer consultant that owned a successful software company for 30 years before I retired and took up Internet Promotion in Sept, 2000. I've been steadily growing my residual income and have always been willing to share what I learn without trying to take advantage of others, since I know how bad that feels. I live in the beautiful Pacific Northwest in the upper left corner of the United States where the trees in my yard are as big as some people find in their forest. It's an hour to the coast, an hour to the mountain or 15 minutes to a lake with my boat. We wouldn't think of moving anywhere else. It's down to just my wife and I at home, so I guess we qualify as empty nesters. She still works part-time as a sub for the school district, which allows her a flexible schedule with lots of days off for traveling. I work only online and have a laptop to take along on our trips. You can see more of our photos at Picture Trail One of the things that leaves more time for is experimenting in the kitchen. I love eating out and especially Itallian Sausage Sandwitches, but they can't hold a candle to the ones I can make at home. This one has 3 Hot Itallian Sausages on a Toasted Hogie Roll smothered in Bell Peppers, Onions, Mushrooms, Tomatoes, Hot Peppers and Pepper Jack Cheese and YOU BET It's Spicy! Of course the strongest attraction for keeping us in the Northwest is our family. Most of them feel the same as we do, so they have roots right here. We have six children, three are married and have provided us with six grandchildren with #7 on the way and I'm sure many more to come. Life is great! I enjoy my online second career and the Internet has given me the ride of my life. I can't imagine how some other people get by once they retire, because I know far too many of them that didn't even plan as well as I did. If you find yourself in that situation, don't hesitate too long. The money is here if you learn how to get it. Enjoy the Ride!
