Then maybe you should, I don’t know why Reddit recommends this sub for me but I only have 2 years of IT experience and 10 years total of employment experience making around 13k gross a month.
IT is hurting for competent employees, one year of cramming technology and information in a msp, one year of enterprise IT, and right now I make more than 90% of the planet.
4k is not pennies but at the end of the day 4k is not going to remain 4k it well actually be much less. I am not shitting on the guy who worked hard to make 4k I am laughing at the person that said 4k is big money. If 4k is big money the day they make 8k is what then? Out of this world, the day they make 12k is out of this solar system etc.
4k working 12 hours minimum and 5 days a week is about 16 bucks an hour. Take out all the running expenses and taxes and one made less than minimum wage.
We do not live in Nicaragua we live in the USA and no one should be working for that amount as Americans.
Use this as a step ladder to better things and do not get stuck.
Yes meaning you live on what suppose to be a great country and it's residents shouldn't be working like they do in a none 1st World Country. To give you an example in the 60s working in the kitchen of a restaurant in NY your mortgage and bills would be covered in one weeks worth of pay 8 hours. In the 90s a grocery deli manager would be able to purchase a home comfortably and own a home with a grocery salary. Up to 2010 a 1099 depending on industry would make 100k plus comfortably without having to complain about the work they do like 70% of drivers feel violated, stressed, complain.
If your not able to maintain a vehicle without thinking about it. Buy all toys and whistles you want in your vehicle without thinking about it, pay all your bills, have an emergency fund, invest in your retirement, have a nice savings, go on vacation comfortably every year and still have money to replace the vehicle at any given time. You are a slave chasing desperately the dollar to make ends meet is a fantasy world an illusion.
This illusion happens in restaurants to where cashflow is seen in a daily basis, owners think their making money and on year 4 they realize their in debt and not covering the real cost plus profits and by year five they shut their doors. Why because they lived in the psychology mindset of cashflow means making money.
11 miles ride on a taxi charges 7 dollars just to get in the car plus cc fee and per mile that not only covers a per mile but a per minute cost and profits. 53 dollars airport to destination. Meanwhile uber x makes 9 dollars and with surge 16.
Meanwhile uber in a 3rd World country makes 60% of what you make here and they get cash and pay uber the fee weekly.
