Sting 04/12/17 4:52:54 PM #1:	I was making $50,000 last year as a teacher, but I got zero respect. None. Nada. Always got blamed for everything that went wrong. Wasn't allowed to do my job. Was constantly having shit talked to me and if I said anything back, got into trouble. Had to deal with a fucking crazy ass bitch that was always putting her nose in my business and trying to get me into trouble. And there was no way to discipline the kids at the school because they didn't care. Went to the local commissary and now I work for the government. I make half what I made as a teacher but that's fine. I get a shit ton more respect. No stress at all. Access to the base. My point is it's not all about money. If I want to get a 2nd job and make close to my teaching salary I easily can. --- IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS! <cite>Sting posted [p:877069663] in I have a b...

jenningsnash313 04/12/17 4:55:26 PM #4:	That's all fine and dandy, but I do have several questions: 1. Where do you currently live? By yourself, with your parents, with roommates, a wife? Do you have kids? 2. What state do you live in, and do you live in a big city? Just curious, because I'm trying to rationalize how you can live off of $12.50 an hour. I don't think I could possibly do that and pay for an apartment as well as food and gas, unless I was extremely conservative with money. --- For all your gaming pleasures: http://www.youtube.com/user/thismikeplaysgames Currently Playing: Majora's Mask, Final Fantasy XIII, Shadow of Mordor <cite>jenningsnash313 posted [p:877069831] in I have a b...

ForestLogic 04/12/17 5:02:06 PM #13:	I got a similar story TC. Went to college, tried out office jobs and hated the monotony of it. Now I work as a pest control technician for a family-friend's company, make $15 an hour, and I couldn't be happier. Also, I dunno how people making $50,000 or $60,000 get into financial trouble. My girlfriend and I combined make around $35,000 a year total, and that's being generous. We live in mathematically the most expensive place in the continental U.S., and we live very comfortably.

Sting 04/12/17 5:40:41 PM #32:	Asherlee10 posted... Sting posted... Well if yoREMercsChamp posted... Fuck yeah man! Being fucking poor is awesome! Well, to people asking how I survive: I take home about $1700 a month. - $500 for rent (with my wife and I paying half) - $100 for insurance (with USAA) - $25 for phone (cricket) - $50 for gas (economy car) - $200 for groceries That's about $900 in stuff I gotta pay. So I have about $800 to do whatever with. I spend maybe $100-200 a month on entertainment because wife wants to go out sometimes, but I live like a hermit. I'm a gamer, it's what we do. I watch a lot of DVD's (have almost 1000), and have a shit ton of games for NES, Sega, PlayStation, and Super NES. So I make my own entertainment a lot of the time. Also, there's parks. You can find good recipes on the internet too. What about retirement, general savings, or incidentals? Also, I don't understand how people survive on $200/month for food and don't have the precursors to heart disease. And I don't feel like we buy a crazy amount of food. It's typically: - Veggies - Chicken - Fish - Whole grain pasta - Whole grain rice - Water - Nuts + dried fruit - Whole grain bread - Cheese - Milk - Eggs Then there are one-offs to be refilled like spices, propane, pet food, olive oil, condiments, coffee, etc. I go to Costco a lot and buy stuff in bulk. 40 bottles of water for like $3. 18 protein shakes for $25. Then they have good deals on eggs and waffles. Also, hot pockets and turkey burgers. You can find pretty good frozen food too, something I learned from working at the commissary. We make a lot of our own stuff too like stuffed peppers, potato salad, fish, fried rice, tuna, French toast, cereal, pop tarts, mac n cheese (home made), greek salad, and just stuff like frozen Chinese food and frozen lasagna. Also, when I say $200 I mean that that's what I spend. She spends about the same. We alternate every 2 weeks. But if it were just me I could live off of that. --- IT'S SHOWTIME FOLKS! <cite>Sting posted [p:877072764] in I have a b...
