Look at trade schools. Talked to a girl, Welder, she was making 10k a week doing 6-10’s. Lot of overtime. Point is that you make lots of money in trades, and learn skills to fix your own stuff. Self reliance.
Sounds like a Bitcoin life.
10k a week? What kind of welding are talking here? I’ve worked with plenty of welders in the aerospace industry and yes they do well but not 10k a week
She was working at a refinery. I checked with another welder and he confirmed. Union folk
You completely miss the point. I am doing what I enjoy and want to be doing. Thats not the issue. and bitcoin will change nothing.
I guess I did. So what is your point exactly?
What is your time line? And why do you say Bitcoin changes nothing for you?
That the economy is fucked. That people who are not below the poverty line are still essentially living in poverty. And how would bitcoin change anything? Its not going to magically make housing affordable. And cant pay rent with it. Also, maybe I do, maybe I dont, but what makes you assume I have none?
I didn’t assume you have none since you’re here on NOSTR. Given a longer time horizon Bitcoin makes everything more affordable. And yes, you can pay your rent in Bitcoin. Strike has a bill pay feature, Aqua has a credit card feature, or you could buy gift cards. There are ways.
I agree with the economic outlook in that things are getting very expensive. Try used car shopping!
That’s great that you are doing what you want to do. I wish I could say the same.
Ok let me put this another way. A one bedroom in my area would be about 50% of my monthly pay. Bitcoin cannot change that, nor help that.
Yeah, that’s a problem. Honestly, I would be much the same situation if I didn’t marry a good woman 20yrs ago that makes about 4x my income. Paid cash for her phd. Our first house was small, but nice. Affordable. Not a very good neighborhood tho. 13 years later we bought the house we wanted with equity.
You can do it brother. Patience, hard work, frugal living.
Yea Im not really stressing it too much. Got a roof over my head and the owner / roommate is a friend so I dont have to worry about losing that. I was just venting more than anything.
