The funny thing is, out here the cheapest pile of ---- house you can buy is going to be a $1600/month payment. How the ---- is anybody going to be able to afford that kind of payment on the average sallary around here? My old room-mate just bought this biggest pile of unsafe ---- house you can find and he pays $1600 a month for it. I wouldn't make myself live in this shithole of a house, yet it's the cheapest thing anybody can buy right now.

I've been in the same job field since I was 16 so I'm not sure if I am. I know I'm damn good at what I do and can do it better than anybody I've seen, but is this what I want to do and is this my limit? My boss is doing well and has cash and nice ----, but is his life what I want my life/limit to be? Do I want to set his life as my goal? I just don't want to set my goals too low and be living in "poverty" my entire life.

In three years when I turn 30 I'll be hope to be done with school for metal fabrication and be posting in the FS section with a manifold fabrication company. Then get banned and just sell them by PM's and covert FS post's about rate my welds.

What do you do? $1600/month is insane around here... a nice house about your size would go for about $90,000

Justin, the wealthiest guy that does the same job as you.....what's he doing? Even though people feel "secure" with a job they've had forever, if your talents can make you more somewhere else, than go there.

that's how it was about 6 years ago here. If I wasn't such a dumbfuck and had my ---- together I would have bought a house back then and had a glimmer of hope in my future. Now, I'm fucked. The house I was thinking about buying 6 years ago for $85k is now selling for $350k. I was too wrapped up in cars and turbo parts to be able to save money for ---- like that. I swear, if I could go back 10 years with the knowledge I have now, I'd be very well off. I just wish I had someone to tell me what to do and how to do it back then.

Damn that sounds exactly like the ---- i say. The shitty part is when you're doin good and plannen your ----, gettin cash saved, quote 1 can bite you in the *** real quick and ---- it up for a long time. Were you the one that posted up about jumping off some roof and gettin ---- up all liquered up? Oh yeah and there usually was someone back then tellin you what to do, people are usually are too naive to listen until they've learned for themselves.

Well, I didn't exactly "jump", but yes I did fall off the roof of my girlfriends restaurant and ---- myself up pretty good. I don't really think there was anybody to tell me what to do and what not to do back then when it mattered. I was pretty much on my own as far as financial gains were concerned.
