How do you earn money?

[c172]

Retired. Disability. But if my body were more cooperative, a dream would be to be a certified flight instructor (Cessna 172 and similar).

I'm no longer earning any money.  Now I just need to master this "living more frugally" thing and I'll be all set.

You might try reading the well known, 'How To Live Well On Just $1200 A Day'.

Good suggestion and a step in the right direction for sure.

I sometimes also make money via poker.

Didn't know that.  What's your game?  Holdem?  I prefer Omaha but being here in the puritanical states we can't play on line for money any more.

This thread is related to captain awesome a thread about warning people about jobs.  I pretty much have a standard low paid job and work lots of hours but it's very easy work, I don't even know if it could be called work, most times I get to relax, watch YouTube on the pc here or listen to music or whatever and then go for a stroll.

I spend my money on very little non essentials, my car takes up a lot of money, i bought the car outright have and I really do get raped on the insurance cost, and on top of that petrol and servicing. I have a new born baby and I've spend a lot of money on her, I have quite a lot of savings, enough to buy a new car or enough to go towards a deposit on a house, at the moment I live with my parents or I'll sleep out at a girls house when I want to.  

The basic question of the thread is how do you get money, how much do you think you need and what do you spend it on.

Not the issue. Consent on any issue is what matters. But in all of life in an ecosystem, you cannot have a a lopsided ecosystem. It does not matter what somebody does for a living. The cost of living and pay gap are the issue. Just like any other life. You have a lake or pond, and in balanced conditions, life will only take what it needs. But if any aspect of that life becomes so dominate, like toxic algae, or bacteria, any life that becomes too dominant will upset the entire ecosystem.

Life provides room for whatever we want. It gets destroyed by greed.

Everything I spoke about in the first post is very much the issue.  How a forum works is that you post a thread based on the topic you want to discuss.

So for example I created this thread to discuss what people do for a living/how they get money and how that relates to their lifestyle and spending, so that is the issue, that is what I wanted to talk about based on my curiosity and interest relating to captainawesome's thread.

I sometimes make money by selling my turtley mayonnaise to those deprived of mayo. It's awfully kind of me when I give a free sample.

I walk around dark allies with a London Fog jacket with multiple inside straps holding counterfeit pocket lint for sale in the black market. I make Scare Face look like a Nobel Peace Prize winner.

I misread "straps" as "strap-on"

Damn I have a dirty mind. I do this all the fuckmothering times.

Lol? Da fuq?

* Edwardo Piet is very very confused

I try to not be dirty. I try, I really do. Sometimes. Okay, very rarely. Okay only when necessary.

I'm a High School History teacher. I make a modest income, and I guess we mostly buy stuff that's basic. I'll splurge on some fancy lingerie, or some stuff for our kids, but usually we wait until Christmas and birthdays for things we want, but don't need.
