Like it was said earlier, if your in the luxury market your fucked.

I'm in the luxury market, but my skillset is fucking wierd. People can't find Accord TCUs, and I can fix them so it's retarded easy to make $100 for two hours work. Most of which is test driving the vehicle to make sure everything's legit.

I stated on the old site that no real HMTer is a normal person, and if they remain flexible in the manner I have/am trying to then they'll weather this economy thing pretty well.

i guess i consider myself lucky to have two jobs and get 70 hours a week.

one is minimum wage at firehouse subs and the other job i just got is 6.40 an hour plus commission at tire kingdom.

its really tiring doing these jobs 70 hours a week combined and not getting the money compensation that i feel i deserve with executives sit in an office and smoke cigars all day and make big bucks because they know someone.

But im going to do everything in my power to make sure i have a secured job regardless if its not the greatest job. Do your job beyond expectation, let someone see you and then climb the latter.

Everyone else seems to be doing worse off, but I now have more money in the bank than I've ever had, I got my associates in December and got a job requiring it making $14/hr (which isn't bad at all for this area) and I'm currently looking for apartments, decent ones are about $650/month in this area and I've already budgeted it to the point where I know I'd be fine no matter what happens. Then again I don't have a wife/kids/mortgage so maybe I'm just slipping past where I'd be getting fucked.

...executives sit in an office and smoke cigars all day and make big bucks because they know someone...

Not just someone, but something.

You see I make good money and I am in demand, not just because I am good with the general MS office tools, but that is a requirement, or because I have a degree, as I don't. There are two main reasons why:

1) I take initiative and make decisions, I do not ask permission, I just do it, and then back it up with what ever my reasons where if I am called on it. Right or wrong I stand behind my decisions and don't get wishy washy.

2) I am better with people then most. This is something I work on everyday, this gets me jobs, keeps my jobs, and gets me raises at those jobs. In my personal life I don't care what most peoples names are, and don't go out of my way to remember things, in my professional life I do, and not just there names I go out of my way to know about people.

3) This is not nearly as important, but is still a big help. I try to become an expert at whatever it is the company I work for does.

1. Everyone anticipated property values would keep rising.
2. Everyone took out home equity lines and bought shit they couldn't normally afford with their normal income.
3. Average people were buying second and third houses and pulling credit from them.

PEOPLE THOUGHT THEY WERE BALLIN', BUT THEY WERE NINJA RICH.

THEY HAD LIQUID ASSETS. LIQUID AINT' SHIT, UNLESS IT HAS A ALC.% OR SQUIRTS FROM A BEAVER.

THE WELL DRYED UP, WE WERE GREEDY, BANKS/LENDERS/GENERAL PUBLIC.

WE ARE REAPING WHAT WE SOWED.

BACK TO BASICS. BACK TO HUMBLE, LEVEL HEADED AMERICA.

We will be better for this. Oh BTW, we would have recovered pretty quick from this mess but Obama is a liberal chonch.

I am one of those people that was really kicking ass. My business was booming. I had enough money to do everything I did during that time. Hindsight is 20/20. But, I should have had more money in the bank, or stashed under the mattress for a rainy day. Instead I spent like it would never end. I ended up losing an investment home. No sweat, my credit score sucks now, but I'm still living and I never go hungry. I am less attracted to possessions. And I really like living without that attitude. Friends, family, and holding shit together with duct tape. Let's have a drink!

Fuck I'm glad I was one of the stupid people who don't have a 401k, IRA, or stocks. I plan on making some investments in the near future though, but just short term. Market's too unstable and can all too easily be falsely inflated with as we're seeing now.

i ran a sonic geothermal rig up until the economy took the sharp downturn before the election. my work was dependent upon people spending money, and lots of it. when their equity went down the shitter, so did my work.

get urself some skills and be a dependable honest hard worker and u will always have a good paying job.

all these layoffs force employees to keep the cream of the crop. and lay off the rest of the mediocre workers they might have skated with in earlier times..

thats why u cant be an asshat, layoffs are the reward given to those who are mediocre at best. niggas

Logan76 · « **Reply #48 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:29:33 PM »

Thats bullshit, I outwork alot of the guys I worked with, they're older guys within a few years of retirement. What your not thinking of is us workers in unions. Seniority is all that matters, It doesnt matter if your a harder worker or better at your job thant he next guy, if hes been there longer your out.

hotrex · « **Reply #49 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:31:19 PM »

thats why ill ride non union till i die. unions are horseshit. proven time and time again.

this yr i stayed over guys who have been witht h company for 15 yrs.

if u cant hang with hotrex your bound to drizowned

Logan76 · « **Reply #50 on:** March 23, 2009, 11:51:37 PM »

Yeah, it seems most of the well paying jobs here in PA are union, Though I'm not a union nutswinger, I would go non-union if I could find the same payscale, Im an Industrial Mechanic, not many places that need my skills are non-union. Most of your power plants and steel mills are all union.

hotrex · « **Reply #51 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:04:16 AM »

my company is the highest paying non union outfit around.

80 percent of our work is prevailing wage. but i dont have to pay annuities ect..

non union means hard work and skill pay not seniority and politics

Sinister · « **Reply #52 on:** March 24, 2009, 12:20:03 AM »

My uncle was in a union at a steel mill, he got laid off and so did a bunch of younger guys (he's ~46 i want to say) who are like 70 and cant do a lot of the work. Ridiculous.
