Stopped at a Starbucks in Indy on my way back from Ohio. Saw a hot chick in there that I knew I recognized. Took me about 10 seconds to remember that her lip sync videos always popped up on my suggested vids back when I had Facebook

can confirm she’s just as hot in person

Not sure if sarcasm, or if you're really trying to up your game when it comes to overextending yourself

Refinancing (pushing current obligations out farther with increased interest costs) always cuts your monthly nut, so that you can incur more monthly debt comfortably. Are you dumb?

The normal price range for anything decent is $50-$60k now. So I start looking to see what I can buy for that amount and the GTR came up. I ain’t buying a GTR.
Or…

YOLO!

Alex has it about as good as it gets for a mechanic with a schedule that'd make a banker jealous

Books 10 hours in 2!

At some point though you will get to a point where the jobs are going to be more stressful. Companies don’t normally pay people 150-200k or more a year to clock in and clock out and have zero stress.

I’m higher end of that and have zero responsibilities, accountability, or stress. Well, sometimes its hard to decide where to go for lunch.

 

[dun4791]

Man, I really am doing something wrong, cause I am not close to $80K, but have tons of stress.

We just did another survey and I gave 0 fucks. Lit everyone up. Doubt anything will change though.

Time for change

If my wife buys a property in Mexico, I might just drive a school bus for less moneys and have all summer off and live in Mexico. No stress, pension, and free healthcare. I’ve about had it with stressed out sales jobs.

You settled. Change, do it.

 

[dun4791]

For sure. Id take a 10k cut in pay for a fuck it, I do my work, go home and not give a shit.... 20k I would have to really think about, 30k+ give me the stress and money.

I would assume if you had a Wife and kids your thinking might be a little different.
Shit, if I had no Wife and kids, I'd deal with the stress for $70k more a year.
$20k-$30k difference then I might say fuck the stress.

Depends on where the starting point of your income is as to if it’s worth it.

So one of my top accounts is Standard Market in Westmont. It’s where all the rich 1% ers shop. There are always nice cars in the parking lot like Ferraris, BMWs, etc. Today, I am eating my broke dick sammich and this pulls up. Guys was wearing scrubs so prolly a doctor. I look it up and these fuckers start at $150k.

You have a unicorn job. BUT to make the big bucks you're still spending 60+ hours/week at work even if you're on standby. Plus weekends, holidays, all that.

Yep - I had ringing that lasted a few days or so

The ringing never ends, ever.
On year 20

To me, working 60 hours is like having a job and a half. I like my 40ish and making a good living.

Yes. When we had performance bonus. Now every job takes exactly what book calls for..

I’d rather make 200k being on call for 60, and working for about 5, than make 125 and be on call for 40, and work about 5.

We all get what we want.

On call at home or at work? I’ve always been salaried so not sure how it works.
