My understanding was that financially he does pretty well there.

At least early on before his Flanderization, Buck was genuinely appreciative towards Hank and viewed him as a model employee (he called him "the golden goose")

And he just clearly loves the work. He's one of those dudes who loves what he sells and likes interacting with customers

Plus, charcoal > propane. Might as well stay inside to cook your food if you are going to use propane. lol
Hank: "you don't get that from a clean burning fuel"
Bobby: "you also don't get the rich, smokey flavor"
Hank: "shut. your. mouth"

He is an assistant manager who seems to be living quite comfortably. He has money to afford plenty of tools and things like lawnmowers and such.

He seemed to be middle class back when that was more common. He loves his job too. I'd love to have a life like that, but I'm more of a Bill than a Hank.

Propane and propane accessories are decently expensive, and being in sales for that, in a southern suburb in the 90s, would be more than enough to afford a house and family.

The early episode of king of the hill are some of the best tv ever. Once luanne had a baby and all that nonsense the show was meh. But it was just so funny how accurate hank is the embodiment of like the naive white guy trope. Nothing had made me laugh more than in a tv show than when hank said Ill stop him and alabastor runs the red light

Hank doesn't get paid a lot . Remember when Bobby saw Hanks bonus and assumed that is what he got every week. Then Hank showed him how much he really makes and Bobby floored on how poor they were.

Yeah but the point of that episode is that Bobby literally understands nothing about money

Actually I get the idea that Buck Strickland has been taking advantage of Hank by underpaying him for several years. I think Hank just makes enough to get by and feed his family. His house however could be worth a lot.

But Hank was showing him, and Bobby understood how in the weeds they were. That is why was was willing to do anything for cash when found out.

Well that's definitely true too but it's also clear Bobby is totally ignorant

Yeah but the joke is that Bobby doesn't actually understand anything lol

Also it's important to clarify that Bobby thought he made $1000 daily, not weekly

That type of house in that type of suburb with a modest lifestyle at that time could be plenty affordable. Hank is also incredibly naive about many important things.

Because doing what they love isn't a shitty job from the persons perspective? Adopting other people's dreams is a losing battle.

Unlike what rich people try to convince you, doing what you enjoy is way more important than stressing yourself out 24/7 so that you can have another bathroom in your house that you'll use twice a year.

Also he cant promote any higher. Its Buck then him.

Hank is trusting of percieved authority figures. Despite having lotd of practical knowledge, he can get played in this fashion. He trusts Buck, and feels grateful for the job. He also seems to really like the work though. Hank would be better off running his own propane business though.

Buck clearly pays him enough to cover his lifestyle though. Hank pays alot of attention to the family budget.
