I can't figure out what direction to move career-wise, and don't have a college education.

Should probably figure that out. College is easy....stressful but easy

I'm too busy shitposting on CE

How old are you

Yeah, in the new financial year (July), they'll start paying me bonuses in my role, so that'll push me over.

Also I'm being groomed to eventually run the state, in 5-6 years time, where that is about 140k plus car plus superannuation. So plenty of room to grow.

I've gone from $87,600 to $98,550 this year alone.

Nice, you're p much there already then. I wouldnt want to run the state tho for 140k, sounds like way too much work for way too little

---

Bonuses are on top of that base.

---

Why don't I have a six figure income? Because I have a 7 figure income, that's why.

Meh I'm lazy

Because I don't aspire to a six-figure income.

Same reason I dont have an allergic reaction to peanut butter: I just dont.

Theyve always intrigued me. What the hell is it that theyre missing in their life? A very interesting specimen.

I could, but I don't want to work the hours. The people getting that at my company are working massive amounts of overtime, most are divorced, never see their kids, hardly see the light of day. I'm pretty happy with my limited hours making decent livable income.

Why don't you have a job where you can make 6 figures and work less hours

I've been on six figures since 2016.

Don't need a college degree.

$130K a year here... running bread routes lol. I'll be at $150K soon enough, and then hopefully $250K by the time I'm 40 years old, then off to real estate to work my way towards building and owning my own apartment complex.

Because how else would I have time to shit post on gamefaqs? I can't do both you know.

If I made more money than I do now, I'd just spend it all on guitars. What's the point of that?

I own/manage three territories for Flowers Baking Co.. I bought my first route in 2014, when I was 28, and in the beginning of 2017, the company allowed us to not only incorporate (which the other competitors were already doing with their distributors) but gave us the option to own multiple routes. Since I proved myself over the years, they allowed me to multi route, and I bought my second route a few months into the year.

Acquiring the third route was a bit of a struggle, though. This year one of the older guys decided to retire, and I was pretty confident I would get his route and equipment for what I was asking ($80K), but he ended up selling it to some guy who knew nothing about the business for $125K... which was 50% overvalue. Also, soon after, the employee who was running one of my routes quit on me, so I was stuck without a driver for several months. In that time I was taking insane inventory losses because the guys I hired weren't doing the job right... and I'm talking almost $6,000 in total, which comes out of my pocket.

I dealt with terrible employee after another, and I was on the verge of selling one route. But my ego just wouldn't let me. I fought so hard to build the equity up on these routes... and I worked too damn hard to establish the relationships and business that I did and that I couldn't fail my clientele. And for two months I decided to go on my own, working 18 - 20 hour shifts... 6 days a week, and at the same time, trying to close on a house (lol).

I really don't know how I survived all that. Those 8 weeks drained me physically, mentally... and emotionally. Each day it got harder and harder to get out of bed, and I was eventually running on sheer willpower alone. But I'd always tell myself that I'd get through it, that I'd find a suitable employee, and that everything will work itself out... like it always would for me.

Well, all that blind hope and faith did pay off for me: I got the reliable employee that I needed, and another guy ended up selling out, so that give the third route that will eventually give me my vacation time. The bank gave me a $60,000 business loan to bundle all three of my delivery vehicles into one monthly payment that ends up saving me $1000 a month.

That's why I always preach hard work and dedication because that, and my unwillingness to quit, is what got me to where I'm at today -- not some college degree. Yeah, some luck was involved -- I'll admit to that --, but I had to take risks and endure some hardships throughout along the way.

That sounds like a lot of work

Not trying to brag or rub it in, but I got a college degree and make 6 figures for 20 hours of easy work a week now...I'd rather have my job

---

years of almost nightly insomnia has turned an initially parabolic rise into perennial stagnance

---

It is a lot of work, but soon, I will have my six figures with 0 hours of work a week, if I chose to do so. But it's not in my nature to do so.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that when I walk away from all this, Ill be walking away with close to $300,000.

Oh damn, how do you do that with 0 hours of work...? Cant imagine you can delegate that much your workload becomes 0

I would def work hard and then walk away if it meant I got to retire that early

---

All I have to do is hire someone to take my place, but I'm not going to do that until the summer time. These routes build or lose equity, depending on your ability, and since my areas are growing, my equity continues to go up, yearly.

One route is worth $77k, another is at $69K, and the new one is at $70K... but I have two box trucks valued at $30K a piece and a pickup that's valued at $36K. I'm sure I'll have similar equipment assets 10 years from now (paid off, too), which could allow me to sell each route at $100K. I also have investment accounts, as well, and a house that's valued at 400k that I'll have paid off by the time I'm 45. I'm currently 33, no degree and I built all this off a $7 an hour walmart job. No inheritance, hedge fund, etc., just pure hard work and determination.

thanks for sharing. It was good story. Sounds like a lot of work, I wish I put that kind of work ethnic into something that gave me that kind of reward. I've had plenty of periods of not working and periods where I worked my ass off. Nothing has quite come from it.

Years of terrible sleep hasn't helped either.

I will be next year. I was at 90 this year

I do too for cost of living. But I'm trying to enjoy life a bit before I die, so I'm making it a point to buy myself some nice (well researched good bang for the buck) things and take more vacations
