). But to each his own. ahhhh see none of my guys get jazzed up about sports. I personally COULDNT care less about watching a bunch of felons chase a piece of leather around (funny cuz that can describe a multitude of sports
They get jazzed up about money.
So I jazz them up about WORK.
And that's my main inspiration to sacrifice my nerves everyday. And also to inspire my kids to get some kind of an education whether it be college or technical side. My youngest is 9 and I already talk with her about goals and what she wants to do in life. My oldest is 15 and already knows that he wants to pursue something between an electrician to possibly an electrical engineer. I love hearing them talk about their futures. It lets me know that their minds aren't idle and they have dreams. And to elaborate a little on the house deal a couple guys mentioned. We set January as the date to pursue it because my wife has been working on getting her credit up. Mine is good but she makes a bit more money than me so her name needs to be on the loan and I want it to be so she feels as if she's a part of it too. We're not buying the max amount the bank will loan either. It's a short term goal until my 2 oldest are on their ways in life and we plan on building after that. (5-8 years hopefully) Thanks a lot guys for posting. It has been inspirational reading some of the replies
Started my own shop of course! Not gonna lie, it's a challenge. And that 70-80 hours you used to flag turns into half that by the time you do paperwork, talk to customers, order parts and do it all. Money will be scarce right away trying to build an account, but I have found there is all sorts of work to be had. Since quitting, I have wore a lot of hats. Cook, farmer, construction, property manager but what the hell. It's been better than being stuck in the shop all day everyday. What's really strange is I've worked everyday doing something, but never felt that "I have a job" weight hanging on me.
See, **** that place. Did the same 5 days and rotate Saturdays. 3 weeks off a year max. After the vacation was gone they wanted to harass you about being gone. Upper management has no idea what it takes to put up the numbers you do just to be close to that 6 figure goal you have, so they don't hold middle management's feet to the fire making them produce. And they don't give a shit about your money, they will **** off and let you down. With no support staff, or a shitty one at that, you can't reach your goals so might as well do it all yourself for all the profit. Damn I don't miss that situation.
No. 71,000. Take 71,000 and divide it by the 184 days a year I work. That gives you my daily rate of 385 dollars. Divide that by my contract day of 7 hours and you get 55 bucks an hour. Now, I get longevity pay and reimbursement pay for personal days I never use but that's not included.
And Smooth's spy/wingman/pimp. Don't forget about dat!
But most of these opportunities don’t pay nearly enough to live.
