I make $45 per hr. and work about 1,100 hrs. a year. Once in a while I get a good job on my own and make between $60 and $80 per hour. I have been a carpenter for 41 yrs. I could work more, but I am darn tired after 6 hrs. Hanging drywall and doing tile floors are just getting to be too much at almost 60 yrs old now. I dont even want to completely retire though. I want to make enough money to keep myself from burning up all my dividneds from our retirement accounts.. I work about 24 hrs a week?? Many times I only work a few days. Depends on the weather and sometimes I finish ahead of time and go home early. If I am not tired and the weather is ok, I go fishing, hunting, scouting for deer or cut firewood. After dark, I read up on investments and go on the 24 hr. and wonder how so many people make so much money..
