I also make exactly this much, and I do fine because I own my cars, our insurance is around $400, and our house is around $3k/month
However, the thing that really pisses me off is that I lose $3000/month to bullshit. Pure bullshit. Taxes, social security, and whatever other commie crap is on my paycheck. So I only get $7k/month in my pocket
After bills, I can only save/invest about 2-3k each month
Drove me fucking insane. I couldn't stand it and watching my youth slip away working in a fucking fast food joint on a shitty 0 hour contract while still being forced to work 40+ hours was numbing. The alternative? Going to university? Being lumbered with a student debt I'd never be able to pay off wasn't an option and even if I did it, I knew I wasn't smart enough to actually get a "worthwhile" degree.
So I joined the RAF instead and it's been top bants, good work and great pay. Also made some top mates and memories and every new country I go to, I've made it a goal to sleep with at least one of the natives. Went on an exercise last year for example to Iceland and fucked some fit college girl bareback up the arse. Wouldn't have been able to do that in McCuckles.
I guess the point of this post got lost as I was typing it. My quality of life is really no different than before I made good money. I'm not happier, except I have a wife and kids and can provide for them. Yes, that's good, but at the end of the day, it's just one of those progress points that you hit and then take for granted after a while. When it comes down to it, I'm saving nothing, and actually losing money despite working 40+ hours per week. It's functionally no different than being any other 'wagie'. Except the fall will be much further if I lose my income for even a week. I'm not sure how I got to this point. I don't hate my life. I love it. I'm just financially in a pinch. Just outside Seattle. My house cost $550k and I pay $2650/mo in mortgage + $400 for car + $600 for a home improvement loan that came from a tree that fell and uprooted my wellhead, forcing me to spend $18k to have my whole water system redone.

What do you do? Is that not illegal? It's a lot of hours so surely you make a lot of and have no free time to spend it so you must be rich?

I think I would actually murder someone for $16k but that's probably because I have a nigger mentality

>security guard at a factory >make just under $12/hour >probably going to be up to 17$/hour by the end of the year when the company absorbs the guard positions >benefits include great healthcare and yearly raises >all I do is sit in a guard shack and shitpost on Yas Forums and print paperwork There are definitely better jobs than mine but there is no excuse to be making minimum wage. If you're making minimum wage YOU are the problem and chances are you arent even worth the wage you're making.
Seattle is a hellhole. My mom just moved out of a single bedroom apart there that was costing her 2200 dollars a month.
The military is an excellent option for anyone in a shitty spot that can take it. Far better than grinding as a wageslave, or college. Just need to pursue a proper trade that can be used when back as a civilian.

Was taking care of a cancerous, mentally ill relative that attacked me one day. A single defensive push resulted in a broken rib that pierced vital organs. I told the police exactly what happened and they considered it a confession.
