Holy CRAP! You only work 60-70hrs a week! and you make $18k a year?!

Don't start get into woodworking..... I don't make much more than that, but the company does pay for both my vehicles.

Now, the last real full time job I had I made probably $70k as a cabinetmaker. That was working 55 hours a week for the company, and another 10-20hrs a week doing side jobs with my employers shop. I was 21 or 22 at the time.

I enjoy parts of it, mainly being getting paid. The rest of it is just another job. I do hate most of it, but parts are okay now and again. I'd do something else if I had any other tangible skills, or anything above a 10th grade education. I'm relying on the lottery at this point, my investment guy says I should try something a bit less speculative though....
