What does everyone consider a good wage?

#64

So hopefully won’t need a loan or at least a big one

well its a hobby then. Everyone starts off somewhere. I tried one myself, my only investment was my own personal time and a few hundred dollars. It was alot of fun, but not nearly as fun as someone else who had more money to explore avenues.

It’s just about being smart and being willing to take risks these days, sadly not many are willing to take risks and just stay in a circle

I would document it on facebook. People say, stay away from it socially. but totally make a diary of it on facebook if its a potential business. because you never know what people would want to help you make something of it. Facebook is an actual really cool way to start businesses if you don’t think you will ever make alot of money on it. Plus find out where people on Earth are interested in such things.

The moment you spend money on those Facebook ads you will understand. It tells you EVERYTHING from every single city in the world! It is a sick business tool.

Yeh that’s a good idea. Won’t do it yet though as won’t be for a good while! Hahah. Need to get the money and that first. For now I’m broke while I’m an apprentice. But once fully qualified will be earning the big bucks 💪🏼💪🏼

in all fairness… dude houses in Austin have become unpurchaseable for most folk. A “cheap” house is around half a million, a new house starts around 700K (for a 2 bedroom shoebox)

Seriously considering moving to SA this year if I manage to land a full WFH remote job.

Bexar county isnt much better. Fucking Albert Uresti eating my ass alive with property taxes.
Gentrification in the downtown area is rampant. You got million dollar houses and two blocks away it’s all the crack heads living in shanty towns.

You get the most bang for your buck living on the outskirts.

I hate to break it to you but $18 is fine while you live at home. But that is literally sacrifice and poverty if you live on your own.

If anyone thinks I’m lying. Please correct me.

Its not the problem of housing costs, its the problem of the rate in economic development. If it was booming it would be down to 400k as its been in the 90s.
Wait until the electric car market is matured but by then, who knows what else would have been invented. There is a major accellareted interested in battery manufacturing which won’t happen until 2025-2035. This component of the industry of auto only exists because of the mandate of alternative energy. We are still waiting on development on fusion which will have to see a major change in the education sector believe it or not. Multilayered education disciplines that crisscross sciences and i don’t think there has even been ANY business developing that at any monetary level.

$18 an hour is fast food wage here.

You can’t even afford a studio rent with that shit. You’ll need to bunk with other dudes.

Me and my wife made about $100K last year between both and I feel like we are almost poor.

$17 the hour at fast food restaurants like BillMillers and Chk fil A on wealthier sides of town. South side are still 15$

The wages are posted on the windows. Labor shortage and kids from affluent families have less incentive to work so they have to bump the pay a little.

That’s why I would be saving till like 30s to build huge wealth and then put into something to build on

#79

Also when I’m fully qualified it will be more like $22 an hour

things are different when you don’t have mom and dad taking care of most of your shit

I swear kids don’t know shit these days.
I’ll save up 🤣
Tf you going to save a month making $18-22 an hour?
Assuming he’s living solo of course.

When I was young I didn’t go for an hourly job. I worked as a server. My long time girlfriend at the time was a bartender/gm at a bar downtown. I was making 50-60k a year, she was making like 75k
That’s how we built our savings in our youth.
Also, the cost of living was half it was compared to now. The dollar went a lot further. And we benefited greatly from 08 and the housing crash. We were able to get homes pennies on the dollar and the government paid us out 8K each. Good luck buying a home(s) now in your early 20’s

It’s not worth being an hourly employee if you don’t make at least $30 I would say.

Aim to make 150k in a month instead.

You’ll see results a lot quicker.
