I ordered some baofengs

@Bodark Actual You lucky fuck

I'm legitimately jealous

It's only like $60

For 2

I'm a poorfag lol. I barely get 600 a month and I gotta pay 562 for "rent" and utilities. the rest goes to groceries and gas for my truck and they're expensive

Just stop being poor

Duh

@jaguarknightif it were that simple.

Lol I used to be deadass broke

Eventually I had to stop being a poor

I wanted to get married

So I took a job at an auto shop

How uhh.... how does one stop being poor? legit question

It's all a mindset thing tbh

If you think like you're poor you stay poor. If you hang out with poor people you stay poor. If you work like you're poor you'll stay poor.

There's hardly any jobs here, I work as much as I can as a handyman at the neighbors ranch, predator hunter (coyotes, wolves, etc.) and also occasionally, I clean up people's land/property for whatever they pay me

"hang out with poor people" Lol I got no friends 🤣

Fucking cut everyone out that keeps you there and go find an auto shop to work in like 50 hours a week. You'll learn skills. Or find an electrician that needs an apprentice.

Reorganize how you spend your time. Focus on learning skills that are specialized.

Once you have those skills in 2-3 years you can basically write your own ticket

@Bodark Actual
That's some solid advice

I actually like the autoshop thing, I'll ask around if any are hiring

They all are looking for lube techs and gofers

@насильственное убийство hey you have to kill 50% of the population to get rid of the 1% that's rich to not be poor

I can do that. I can do anything really. I actually enjoy working with my hands

I'm in trade school full time for automotive tech
Going for those sweet sweet ASEs and full time at a shop
tough. Yes
Doable definitely

I used to do like $18hr in an auto shop before I quit to run my music business

You don't even need trade school it's just a plus at this point

Personally though. Like they said, find a decent trade and you're set

I started at 10 and want to be at 20 by next year

I make $100/hr doing music now lol

But the work isn't as consistent

So some weeks I don't make anything, other weeks I make a couple grand

Buddyyyyyyyy
Lol no


Nah man I genuinely believe I've found my calling here working on cars

I like consistent schedules and pay

I don't mind the inconsistency

I know how to get work so

It's not an issue as long as you plan for it

Good stuff

But yes the consistency of being on a shop was great

I just got tired of cars hahaha
