Always thought Ky. was about the low end of salaries, but maybe I didn't do terrible. Making about 65K when I retired, & had once quit about the best paying blue collar job in Ky., Toyota Motor MFG. Georgetown, where they used to roll up the sidewalks every night at 9PM now busting at the seams. Unskilled, $30 an hour, skilled, $40, & a hell of a bunch of perks. But an anomaly here. No wonder they come from miles/states around to work there.
I often think if I'd stayed & how my finances would be quite a bit different. But I didn't like the damn place & decided then that money wasn't everything.

$95k is average without overtime. Probably hit $140-$150k this year with overtime I don’t want. Can you put it toward comp time? I'd prefer the time off too and avoid the tax hit on the OT Can only comp 480 hours but can cash out at any time. The bank filled up quickly at 18hrs comped every 12 hour shift. Decent way to make a 3% return if you wait for the yearly raise. Is what it is….allows the wife to stay home and raise the kids comfortably.
Yup.

Made $103 last year, down about $12-15K from the previous three. However, it was the first year I knew when I was going to work, getting off work, and had two days off a week for 8 months. Most of the previous years I worked on call 24/7/365.

Money has long grown on trees. Them skills are nicely rewarded. Hint.
Anymore,I schlep a fair to middlin' part time job. I trade 23 weeks of work,for $250K. That ain't horrid,but there's perks with the ability to shovel $65K a year into retirement,HSA flooding and charitable donations to help others. The 401K match is 7% and that don't suck. Hint.
I live modest and 25% of my take home more than pays the bills. Now and again I buy a new rifle,because I like to shoot. Hint................. 25% of 250k would likely not cover the shipping charges on the amount of packages you receive! I recall ordering the new IMac,McMillan and Arken 30mm,but more than a few parcels will be surprises. FishUSA has a barge coming my way and I'm missing the newest Custom 223 and 7mm RemMag's. Also another McMillan. Hint. Should be some Metrology and Reamers enroute too. I'll hit the PO tomorrow,unless the Chrome keeps me away. Hint...............

. You're not kidding. If Toyota ever left Georgetown it would be a hard blow to the state economy.

Brother in law tells me they can’t find enough workers at the factory where he works. Starting pay $26/hr, then $34 after 2-3 yrs. Great bennies & match. Overtime too. Big money for a nice small town and the positions go unfilled.I was surprised.

Stick. The Oil Service Industry is great but I worry for ya! Teacher's really don't get great pay up here but we aren't exposed to benzene and those crooked isomers that cause cancer. We grew up 100 miles from Valdez and all of the older guys have two or three different types of cancer and a good share checked out young. My cousin just died down in Valdez. He was a heck of a guy with two cubs and a wonderful family. My other cousin is retiring soon and is happy to get out. His wife has had several run ins with tumors both cancerous and growths. Just keep getting checked.

Aviation Safety Inspector is my primary and full time job.
Business Owner and FFL is my 2nd job.
Landlord is my 3rd job.
Income? Not nearly enough, although I am blessed to have what I have. I keep forgetting you’re just done the hill from me. Should meet up for coffee or beer sometime as a good ffl is hard to come by in this area. We can do that- let me know if you want to drop in and browse my limited selection-most of my business is via e-commerce. email- mark cardinalguns.com

Funny how we all judge each other based on the money we make and the jobs we do. Neither of which have any bearing whatsoever on what kind of person we really are.
Big Dumb thinks he's really something when he gets to boast of his mountain of mail that awaits him when he comes back from work camp. In reality, he's just a peon like the rest of us. <eye roll>

Why does little dick aka big stick end every sentence with the word hint? Y’all think it’s a learning disability or maybe he’s too stupid to know what the word means?

Spent time at their "winter place" down at The Hideaway golfing, smoking cigars, and having great food. Nobody needed to talk about money. I did hit a ball into Lindsay Buckingham's yard. 😁 FWIW, 10k a week is "travel nurse" money these days.
