When I worked trades females clients kept sexually harassing me (constantly “forgetting” to wear towels, sun bathing naked, etc.) I got sick of it and went back to the office
>>540801222It's not even about the money. I loathe my job currently, but I don't have to deal with this insane hazing fuckery bullshit 24/7 and all the drug addicts and alcoholics.

>>540803381>Literally everyone will lie and weasel and try to not pay you the full amount every single timehmm? this is a thing?did he work amongst darker skinned individuals of persuasion?
>>540803518Honestly one of the better paying more reliable companies he worked for was a jeet general contractor surprisingly enoughThe average middle class white woman is the absolute worst when it comes to pay shenanigansHe had one who refused to pay for an 5000 dollar oak desk she ordered and said it reminded her too much of her moms casket
>>540799508>we competed to outwork each otherThe gayest part of the whole story

>>540799508Don't be lazy, this won't happen.
>>540804539>working extra hard to boost schlomo's faltering economythank you for your contribution, goy
>>540801222I am a tradie and I make 200k on the check just working 40’s. A lot of trades have kept up with inflation better than even white collar work has. When I grind OT and DT I make 500k TC. Your talking points are a decade or so out of dateThough I will admit I am in bed after working 10s all week because I am working 10 again tomorrow. It does get exhausting
>>540804955What do you do, and what was your pay starting out?
Tradies love to get ass fucked by BBC.

>>540801178Nah, he's right and you're a coping retard.
>>540799508Is hazing one of the final bastions of White culture?
>hazing is funNigger mindsetIronic that these guys hate universities, they'd love frat (homosexual) culture.

The true boss player path is to have enough money invested into stonks to live on divvies and never have to answer to anyone ever.>avoid humilation rituals and answering to Bossman>avoid faggot ass customers and their con artist ways>dont even have to pretend to be a retard for a paltry sum of neetbuxit's the true path -- the jewish parasite path
>>540805685No, worshiping Kikes is
>>540799629Dude, gay butt sex is pretty gay. It's one of the gayest things you can do. And tradies do it daily. They trade their butt for money
>>540800577>>set your own pay>>set your own hoursSpoken like someone who has never owned their own business.
>>540800059Yeah, wagies get better health insurance.
>>540805730No it's not. How is it that no one here can even imagine making/growing/creating/building something of value yourself and then selling it at a price you set? If I buy a piece of land, is they guy I bought it from my boss? If I hire someone to build me a house on the land, is he my boss? If I hire a real estate agent to sell the house, are they my boss? Next they're going to say the buyer, who I've never met, who had zero input on anything I did, is my boss. It's retarded wagie cope. They have to delude themselves into believing lies like how owning a business and being someone's employim are totally the same. Something even a child could understand is a retarded lie. Wagies actually understand it, but they can't admit the truth to themselves. Because, that would mean admitting they are midwits who are only as useful as others make them. And, their life would be a waste if not for their "superiors."
>>540799629he's right you know
>>540806311What business is it that you've owned where your customers set your hours and pay?
>>540805730This is both true and why the West is collapsing
>>540806396You talk a whole lot to say nothing. I agree with >>540806311You don't own a business. You're probably just some snot nosed teen with big aspirations
>>540806513And yet, your stupid ass can't form a rebuttal. I don't beleive you own a brain. Your head is just an empty space with a hole in it to park Mr. Shekelburgs bossman cock.
>>540799687>electrictions
>>540806622>And yet, your stupid ass can't form a rebuttal.great job admitting you're a teen who doesn't know shit. Come back when your balls drop underageb&
>>540800639I’m sorry anon hopefully you get some time off soon, maybe be sick for a day or something
>>540806825I'm 45 years old and you're a stupid faggot who has to suck kike cock to survive. I hope you're a teenager and not a grown man this pathetic.
>>540799508i work in an office. and this guy they didnt do any work was made to print out and make photo copies of confluence pages
>>540800059>You need to make your own heckin small businessWhy? I earn $150,000 a year, I put $90k into stocks. I don't need to risk shit, I don't need to deal with managing a company, and I don't need to deal with retarded employees.
>>540806396>How is it that no one here can even imagine making/growing/creating/building something of value yourself and then selling it at a price you set?I can imagine it, I just don't see any point.
>>540807048So, you'd rather spend 40 years of your life making someone else rich? I don't get that.
>>540806622This is a retarded take too. If you own a business it will consume your life, off the clock a wagie has time to do whatever they want. A business owner has to be an accountant, salesman, marketer on top of whatever skills you use for your business. A wagie only needs to focus on one thing, that frees up space for hobbies.
>>540807116I'd rather spend the minimum effort required to achieve my standards of living. That involves working a job and passively investing my money because it's easy as shit and far lower risk. Most business owners aren't Jeff Bezos, most business owners are just poor as someone working a kinda good paying job or in crippling debt.
>>540807177A lot of times incompetent people can only see the world through their own incompetence. And, that may be for good reason. There's a high probability if you, a midwit, did open a business that it would consume all of your time. So, in a way you are right but still wrong.
>>540807231>most business owners >most business ownersMost people are fucking retarded. It's sort of telling that you lump yourself in with them and expect that you would have the same results as them.
>>540806986>I'm 45 years oldand i bet your bank account is lacking
>>540807391Yes, everyone is dumber than you, you're the smartest faggot on earth, but you're still a faggot.
>>540807293Anon, literally nobody believes you own a business, you can't even explain what your business is. I can explain what I do just fine.
>>540807411You would lose that bet. I make as much as I want to now, but I hate taxes. I will spend hundreds of thousands a year just to keep from having to pay taxes on it if I have to.
>>540806986Do you have a six figure 401k? You should have more than a half a million in there by now.
>>540807438No, I don't beleive everyone is dumber than me. But, if you require a bossman telling you what to do to make money, then yes, I consider myself smarter than you.
>>540807546And you also don't understand how tax deductions work. Nice.
>>540806781Me weld good, no say spell good.
>>540807546>I make as much as I want toyou do realize what a retarded statement this is, you fucking child.
>>540807706He also spends hundreds of thousands on hookers and blow to avoid paying taxes.
>>540807585You're smarter than me and still a faggot. Not everyone can be a free lance male prostitute and gay porn star like you.
>>540807468You haven't asked. I started a small business in construction when I was 19 (2000, born in 81, first millennial). I also had a job as a framer, but my boss would hire me to build fences and decks for the new houses on the weekends. After a few years I started to get remodels. Around 05 I started getting my first new construction framing jobs. There was a huge building boom leading up to the 08 crash. I did very well over those 2-3 years and netted around $500k. After the crash I was lucky because I had already partnered with a developer to build a bunch of duplexes and the loans were already in place. By 2009-10 I had built up a substantial amount of savings. Property went to dirt cheap, and I'd always wanted a house at the beach. I found a seven acre tract of land on a small island for $250k. I bought it, then scraped together materials and enough money to build myself a beach house paid for. When I finished it I got an appraisal and was shocked at how much it was worth. I sold it and started building more. Here you can build on a quarter acre, so I had around 22 lots I could build on after room for easements. After about five houses later, I had enough to modestly retire if I wanted. My second son passed around then, and I decided to quit work to spend time with my wife and other son. (Continued)
>>540808543I didn't do much for a couple of years after that. After a while I decided to build some more houses. When I went to get a permti I found out the county was in the process of rezoning my remaining property to commercial, and were probably going to try eminent domain to get my land since it was now the largest undeveloped parcel on the island. We fought for a while, they won, the property was rezoned to commercial. So, I did what they didn't want just to spite them, I built a bar. I later had to convert it into a restaurant and bar to get a liquor license. For the first two years it was a huge headache. But, then it got easier and I hired a manager (family member) to run it. That was around a decade ago. Summer is over now, so it's slow. I haven't been to restaurant this week, but it netted me a few thousand dollars tonight alone, in the slow time. I've gone months without going by there but the money keeps coming.You asked what I did, now I just sit on the beach, enjoy my wife and three sons, and collect money for nothing. Don't spend you life making someone else rich, work for yourself.
>>540807610I think you may be the retard here. If you spend money on your business then you don't have to pay taxes on that money. How are you an adult and don't know that?
>>540807706For someone like you who depends on Shekelburg to make his time productive, yeah, I bet it does sound absurd to you.
>>540808636You said you spend hundreds of thousands just to not pay taxes. So you're buying things you don't need just so you can have a tax write off. Unless now you're changing that statement to you're buying stuff for the business, then you're actually spending hundreds of thousands on the business, not just to avoid paying taxes. The question them becomes, what are you spending the hundreds of thousands on? You still haven't explained what your business is.
