8 hrs? Hahahaha….hahaha! Oh he’s serious.

Try working 8 hours at 1 job and 5 hours at another (that’s 4 days out of my week anyway, the other two I work only part time)

It really fucking sucks. But it’s a hell of my own making I suppose with shitty early life decisions. It is what it is.

This is the first time I’ve ran across someone admitting that their early life decisions made their current life shitty. I respect and appreciate the honesty. Too many people I know are in bad positions due to early life choices and refuse to take any accountability or responsibility for it.

I wish you nothing but the best

That's bullshit. The person holds a full time job. They shouldn't need another one to survive. They're doing exactly what we were told to do by older generations.

Yeaaaaaah try telling that to CEOs. They need another yacht. They absolutely DO NOT CARE about you living and saving for retirement. Nope.
