Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How much Money do you make?

More than some and less than some.

This is enlightening, relevant and pertinent chit right here.

2024 I'm doing the 3000 hour/$40 per schedule. Woman makes not quite same hourly and isn't quite as devoted as me...lol
(but she does pay the health insurance and has a 401k)

Less than Warren Buffett.....

They’re building one a mile from me, guess I’m giving a bu ch of raises out unless they drug test. If they do I’m golden, one upside of hiring meth addicts.

More than enough to satisfy my needs.

Not enough, we gonna pay for all the illegals somehow.

Retired with two Union pensions & my Trump SS check

Includes lifetime heath care for both until ded

Wife retiring March '24 with state pension & Trump check

Doing OK......no lavish trips or outlandish spending

Two 20 YO plus Toyota SUV's....wife's GX is 'newer' being an '11

22 YO Chevy HD crew highway cruiser.....money buried in the desert........

Food in the fridge & freezer.....plenty of ammo for any bartering if needed

Makin’ money is a felony.

Prayers sent Jack.

They don’t test for marijuana but do test for meth. I’m only losing half the crew. Upside, the guys using meth and weed work way faster than the ones that just smoke weed, and rarely sleep so always there on time.

Plus I make enough to blow money on stupid scheit like a .243 pistol. That CHP was worth the price just to carry this loaded to church.

Having a bit of an issue with the ink transfer but am confident of working the process out.

✊🏻😃😂

My most recent......maybe last gun purchase

I like bargains..........NIB SA 9mm w/35 rd stick

Everyone is giving full disclosure, so this I my best.
Just shy of $30/ hrs.
$100/ wk family medical with deductible reimbursement.
Shabby to some, top wages for unskilled factory worker here.
Welders aren't getting that much in most of our shops.
5% raises for the next 3 years on this contract.








Wife runs a gas station/c-store with food service.
Not sure what she makes, around $40k.
Sure wish she was on Buc-Ees pay schedule!



Isn't it amazing, 25 years ago $100k was the number for high paid jobs.
Our combined income was maybe 40% of that.
If you had told me what I'd make now, I'd have done cartwheels figuring on being rich.
Instead 401, insurance, more insurance, AFLAC....eat up more from my check than
was in my check back then.

Lots of interesting thoughts on this. We are low income according to talking heads, however we have 6 children, newest just born on Friday. All born after we were married. I am the only income, wife stays home and raises kids and manages the house. I work as a blue collar maintence guy, stated on tools, went to night school, became a supervisor and now a project manager since I started after the military 8 years ago.

Don’t have all the fancy toys, but have 2 newer paid off vehicles, a utility tractor, a classic car and a $475k house that we should be debt free on in 2 years. Moderate(think cheap) vacations, I do as much diy house work as possible, as well as vehicles. Try not to buy a bunch of stuff that just takes up room.

Took a gross pay cut of 25k with with project management role, but I only work 40hrs a week, not on call. As a tech I would avg 1400hrs of OT. And have way more time at home. In return I make 175% per hour that I made as a tech. Also get a yearly bonus slated to be 10%. This year company did well and we got 17.5% of gross.

Spent a lot growing up and starting out but want to be able to enjoy the kids and family, and so far that is well worth the pay cut. And no even with kids we don’t qualify for any subsidies or govt help/free ins.

More than I spend.

Welcome to the Fire Gary........

Watch out..............got some real DS's here

Alot less since I moved back to MI

If I told you, half would say I was lying they the other half would say I was bragging.
Let's say it's enough.
