if you make a small check but you do work

say 400 a month

you can get on several programs like disability and snap

then you get another 980+140 1120

you also get several other free things you would have to pay tons for like layers and more food

where if you made a lot

the difference in living as comfortably making a small amount requires A LOT more work

basically work 24-7

and making the smaller amount you may only work 2 days a week

if you make enough to pay all your costs by working

you have to work basically 24-7

if you make 20,000 a year or if you make 120,000 a year

it's work 24-7 and if you have a kid it's basically just work kid and sleep no friends

if you do work for all your cost at a lower paying jobs you basically get 100% screwed

if you work at a higher paying job it's even worse until you work 15+ years then once you start making 150,000 160,000 it finally starts paying off

where you basically have to play perfect

and the thing about making a smaller check but getting the same amount of money you have to stay on top of all your paper work

20,000 a year is 1,666 a month

I work 2 days a week get snap and disability and I make 1,520 a month or 18,240 a year

in reality the only way working 24-7 makes a better life than working 2 days a week

is if I do it for 15+ years and reach that 160,000 a year 

the examples i'm thinking of in this scenario:

security at a hotel 2 nights a week

gas station or store 5 or 6 days a week

oil field 14 on 7 off 

it's just so hard to want to work 15+ years 14 on 7 off to have a slightly better life than working 2 days a week

I don't want to not have time to enjoy my alone time or time with my cats

to have more money

that I only get to spend a couple of my days off

and even then it's getting to the point

on the flip side

I have had a lot of money before

and what you get when you have a lot of money is stupid

you see your girls on insta youtube or pinterest

but that's the girls you see for how much money you have right then

if you add a few more zeros to how much money you have

the girls get so much better

I can't imagine if I had as much money as I did at one points, today

when I had all the money in the world

that's when I found Logan

and Logan and I were in love in love talking every single day

I lived on college hills and she was like the bopper on the college campus

it's like we talked 24-7 and she came over to party every single day

I know for a fact if I was pulling in that much now

I could have so many little logans running around

and what they do for you when you have money, I mean real money

is stupid

they get you more girls

you can have entire cheer teams chilling at your house every weekend

they throw themselves at you to learn their name their hobbies what they like what they're buying

I like that I LOVE THAT

it's about the only reason to want so much more money

but can you trade off

working 24-7 for more money for more girls

vs working 2 days a week for decent girls that really give you zero attention and never will give you attention

all those girls you see that are 10/10s and will never give you attention

if you made that 24-7 money they would be begging you to take their number
