[QUOTE="svtfocus2cobra, post: 15945321, member: 21786"] Technically I am in the same boat as you at the moment OP. I am barely scraping by on my income, but much of it is by my own choices. My car payment and other bills outside of rent could be changed to help me out more but I am putting up with it to hopefully get myself in a better position and to avoid accruing any penalty fees. Rent is killer out her in Washington though. Rent alone accounts half my net income and I live in a pretty cheap apartment in a decent area. All of my other basic bills eat up most of my income, but with that it has taught me how to be much more frugal. The only thing that keeps me sane is that I have a great career where there is a future in it and along with that career I am running a business as if it is my own even though it is not mine. I've learned more about business in 2 years than I have learned in all my different work experience combined. I have picked up other jobs as well being a firearms instructor and doing side work as a security contractor doing various jobs and whatever pays. I'm pretty much doing what I know I am good at and trying to do it as much as possible. This is the hardest and most stressful time in my life, but also the most I have ever worked. The more I work the more connections I make which means more opportunities. Depending on your age I would say definitely get into the trades or into the military. The Marines gave me a lot of direction and everything I needed to learn about leadership. People say the infantry doesn't provide you with any applicable skills, but it taught me how to get out of the military and go straight into a management position as a civilian, and now I am in a position with the authority of an owner and a much more promising future. Edit: However, I am always looking out for Bruno's advice. Keeping an eye out for that gold mine! lol [/QUOTE]
