Thing is, no one forced anyone to stay in the trades and go without a paycheck. McDonald’s was always hiring.

@TrapperJ sometimes in life we have to swallow our pride in between stepping stones. Is McDonalds or driving a school bus a place you want to work, probably not. Will it be a band aide while you recover, absolutely. You can still keep fighting for what your end goal is while still supporting your basic needs.

Totally get and understand that and I know that dreams dont come over night and to support my end goal im gonna have to do and work things and places I dont like.

Get a budgeting app like YNAB so you know where every dollar of yours is going. You’ll quickly learn where to prioritize your spending. You’ll likely end up being able to spend more on your hobbies because your money won’t just disappear on little, stupid purchases.

That sounds good ill go do that

Didnt read the thread, so not sure if this was mentioned, but pick your friends and who you hang out with very, very carefully. I have heard it said you are the average of the 5 people closest to you.

I belive I got some damn good friends which most people belive that then end up with one or two bad friends but I was always told the tree falls the way it leans and I think I rather fall in a good crowd then a bad

Lots of woman advice, so here’s mine.

Just thinking outside the box…I guess you could…I don’t know…find a chick that really likes to hunt too so you could share a lifetime of adventures and memories.

Shocker, I know

The chick i have is in deep love with hunting lol got that box checked

It isn’t quite that simple on the friend thing. You will have to work and associate with a lot of people as you get older and enter the work force. To some degree you don’t have much of a choice who you associate with but if the people work with tell you it’s normal to pay your truck payment with a credit card you’ll think that’s how people live. I was fortunate when I landed where I am guys talked about paying off mortgages and 401s and not diesel truck and utvs
