Tip has too good of a thing going to wind up like me! 

If being broke, over worked, tired, etc is the good life. Then maybe I have some thing good going on.

You could just settle and be like @12poundbass

I bought a turbo Subaru. Turbo Subaru owners don't settle for nothing. Outer motors blow every 20k.

No one is spending my money but my self. Its kinda funny how I'm broke, and actually happy now. It started with a very mentally taxing 4 or so months, and almost losing my grandma in October. I literally broke down mentally. The kick to the twins was my raise. After work was talking about record profits, and wanting to spend millions to make me work more. I was like I'm 35 I'm broken literally physically, and mentally. I was very close to ending it all, but I couldn't because of my grandma, so I kissed the only life I ever knew a good bye, and will never ever go back. There was a reason why my old man told me to never follow in his foot steps. It just took me 20 years to figure it out.

 

Honestly at my current job. I'm on track to be making better then what I was making in a factory by the new year. All while working in ac. There are days where I can all ready equal what I made in a factory in the same time. By the new year. My finances should be more stable. Then save up for a year or two, and hope the housing market gets back to normal, and buy a home. 

I'm feeling you brother.  I retired and shtf.  Splitting after 30 years, so house is going up for sale.  I have been working too hard for a 66 year old.  I feel spent and in pain every night.  My grown kids are doing very little to help, maybe 8 hours help in 4 months.  I finished painting (not done though) at 9:00pm yesterday. (After sheetrock and baseboard).  I sat on the floor next to the wall with one sock on as I was too tired to get undressed for bed.

I keep thinking 'just do a little bit more'.  You know how you eat an elephant?  One bite at a time.  But the elephant is sitting on my back.

The money from the house will only buy me a small place in another state.  I'm going to have to learn to fly solo and watch my dollars.

I mean I just randomly checked in, and I see my brother from another mother was back, and looks like he hit a few more branches on the ugly tree on the way down. Wait he's from Alabama. They don't have family trees, so he's just ugly.

 

I've been busy a lot. Between work, the old lady, and trying to make my self a better person. 

LMFAO!!! Nice to see ya too brother!

 

I feel ya on that one. Life got real busy real quick. I'm trying to slow it down now though. Gotta take a break from the road and from chasing money. Pays good, but very time consuming and chaotic. Bout to get a umbilical hernia repaired, so that's gonna shut me down for a month or so.

Slowing down is not always a bad thing. Especially when you get a bit older, and maybe a tad smarter. I was just broken from the same old bs from my job. I wasn't a butt kisser, so I never moved up, although I was offered a pretty sweet gig before I left my old job, and still turned it down. By the time they offered me that job. I had one foot out the door. I also got sick of making other people millions, while I was getting paid peanuts, and not having any free time. All I know is I'm a lot happier, I see my grandma, and friends, and I don't hurt every day any more.
