Tony "Lemme Scrape" Bacon on Nostr: You know what bros, I quit my roofing job and took a job that pays literally 40% what ...
You know what bros, I quit my roofing job and took a job that pays literally 40% what i used to make and about 1/6th of what I used to earn when I was running my own business.
The gap is fucking painful, im not going to lie.
But i did it. For the first time in 14 years...my main income is not construction based...
I'm proud of me, it sucks cock and I can't pay for shit right now, but i did it...i did the hard thing. I hated my life and i made a change...
Construction was killing me. I was making a lot of money but I was out of control with partying and the ups and downs up jobs was putting me in debt faster than i could dig out...
It is possible to stop doing things that don't make you happy but my god it hurts.
