thats a lot of responsibilty for not a lot of money. demand a raise and just make sure u talk to ur wife about working in the future. trust me, i got 2 kids and since the first one was born my wife never worked anymore and she always says she will. but then guess who has a 2nd job again.

 

actually, I've had like 2 promotions, 3 raises, and 1 bonus in the 2 1/2 years I've been here...that ain't bad



voters recently passed free pre-k for anyone, so we might spring for that when he's old enough...she's been wanting to take some classes, and I think I'll enroll here next semester, and we plan on her working when our son's in school (or pre-k)



we have a lot of support behind us

 

I have a friend that went to work for the family court when he was 18, technically he can retire with his pension when he is 38, cant beat that, lol



Pay isnt the best, but he does very little, benefits are awesome ( which you learn later in life sometimes means more then making a little more money ), I work my *** off, have basic medical benefits, no retirement/pension, but make double the money he does, I still think I would rather be in his shoes!

At least I get my 3 weeks paid time off a year.



Keep at that job, a state job like that is awesome to have.

 

i second what rob said.....i got about 25k a year...bust my *** 10-12 hrs a day and also have basic medical (band-aids) insurance. One day i'll get a real job..lol..i like ******* around with old cars too much though

 

I couldnt live on 25,000 a year, you still with your parents?

 

yeah...i give them 300 a month rent and for 6 months out of the year i pay my car insurance 618 a month



dude, i know what poor is that is why my car is a nice and reliable stock s5 vert

 

at least you do the right thing and give your parents some money, a big :bigok: for that.



You pay over 3600 to insure your car?

It would be cheaper to either take a taxi everywhere, or rent a car.
