Confessions from a Millenial

[Mr Anabolic]

Well, that was worth a chuckle. I didn't say I led a simple life, I said I live the life I chose.

Again, as to your anecdote about selling real estate....are you actually in the USA? Context is important.

Ignore the boy in the plastic bubble - lol 

He'd take a turd and spin it into something positive... typical Keynesian.

Look at the overall debt as % of GDP = ouch.

Without the Fed pumping trillions (soon quadrillions) into everything, the US is done.

I started working in the trades in my early twenties and own one property, fully paid off vehicle along with a boat and sea doo. Right now i am working on getting a small piece of land on a water front to start staging my  future cottage.

As for all my college friends that are doing well, almost all still live at home under the comfort of someone elses expense. We are all between the age of 28-32.

No stress working in the maintenance sector. Work from 7am and usually stop my day around 130.  Company vehicle, gas expenses covered along with a provided per diem.  Started in construction then got put in a more technical position later on in my carrer as an elevator mechanic.

Nice.  My younger brother is a carpenter and did the same type of things.  His only mistake was have 3 kids, one after another.  Now he's struggling.

I heard the elevator business is kind of up and down.

It was the 3 kids with 3 different women that really hurt him.

No, he's actually very faithful to his wife, but she wears the pants and no longer works... ouch.

BB King had 10 kids with 10 different women.  No lie.

That dude was a true Getbigger.

Kept working until he was dead... makes sense now.

[Humble Narcissist]

I'll bet he was broke.

Was that one of BB King's baby mommas?

More like 50. There's a reason these guys never come off the road.

Its a niche industry. A lot of nepotism within the union

Great industry with a lot of growth potential within the trades and cooperate route.

2 years ago a friend from the gym got crushed working in a elevator shaft.  Broke his arm, leg, clavicle and pelvis... almost died.  Lock out/tag out was not adhered to.  He trying for a $2 million settlement.
