Seems like someone lazarused a thread, but since it wasn't me gonna throw in my 2 cents.
I love my family. That ain't nothing special, everyone here can say the same I imagine. I ain't the smartest fella in the world. I cant do math and I have trouble learning new things ( i can, its just harder than it seems for most folks). Cant spell worth a damn either
.
So what is someone like me supposed to do besides drive a truck? And yeah that means im away from my wife and kids and that hurts. but ive done the mimimum wage thing and i want better than that for my family. i want them to have health insurance and good schoolin and things i didnt have like sports and instruments.
Man, show me a way i can make more than 500 a week with one job and i'll do it sure. but if i worked two 40 hour minimum wage jobs thats 80 hours times say 7 bucks (and that aint guaranteed), thats 560 a week
gross. Minus the insurance, which is at least 75 off the net? I figure it at about $375 takehome.
Thats IF you could find two 40 hour jobs that didnt conflict with each other. And when would you sleep OR see your family?
Anyhow, guess Im just saying that we all do what we gotta do. In my mind the most irresponsible thing I could do would be less than my best for my kids no matter how much it sucks for me.
