Well I take that back, for 99% of American’s wage is earned.I’m not advocating for handouts?? Wage is earned not given.
You do realize the cost of living & business has already been steadily rising within the past decade without wage compensation? Since 2009, the cost of a house has gone up 72K. Nearly 1-2K at secondary education locations. Prices of Milk & Meats have all gone up. (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Collegeboard, U.S. Census Data).
May I ask what exactly you did in your early 20s?The key is to make money and it never goes. Saving money is great but you need to grow the money you make. Buying and house, property, investments etc. The worst place to keep your money is on a bank. I got lucky in my early 20s buying property for the land it was on. The key is to never pay taxes on the investment you buy so you are always buying and Selling which makes you money but it’s not real money you can spend because it’s always going to the investment and turn so you keep that train moving and if you’re doing it right you growing your portfolio with bigger investments each time.
Exactly.And once you start making that money you really don’t want them in your life. The IRS is the devil!
All I'm saying is life is hard and it's a game and you got to figure out how to beat it..or it will beat you and you will not do what you're supposed to do in life.I’m not advocating for handouts?? Wage is earned not given.
My 1st real job after college I worked with land Acquisitions. I was able to take some good advise from some smart people about what to buy and how to determine what properties are good buys. Land is gold these days.May I ask what exactly you did in your early 20s?
Dang it you durned anti tree person! smh! Selling land for these cheap neighborhoods then escaping further out cuz you ain't want to be near em!My 1st real job after college I worked with land Acquisitions.

You know your part of the reason Georgia flipped blue ! You likely sold land that made for neighborhoods that brought in thousands of blue votes ! Trump shoulda came for you not Kemp!BINGO
Maybe but that’s ok. It all clears the account the same. ?You know your part of the reason Georgia flipped blue ! You likely sold land that made for neighborhoods that brought in thousands of blue votes ! Trump shoulda came for you not Kemp!
I will say most of the investors I deal with are from overseas and never see the land they buy.Dang it you durned anti tree person! smh! Selling land for these cheap neighborhoods then escaping further out cuz you ain't want to be near em!
Who here has worked a minimum wage job? I started out as that for a couple years and worked my way up as I went to college.
Both sides of my family come from poverty in the rural south. My dads grandmother moved to Atlanta from Alabama in the 50’s and hacked her living out with no education while raising her grandkids. My moms side is a similar story. They moved when needed and worked their way up the ladder and left the next generation off better than they had. Minimum wage has some benefits but plenty of people make a way in poor areas.
From the perspective of a old small business owner. I’m not smart like a lot of you guys but I have been blessed to have made 2200 weekly payrolls. Recently I have been trying to hire a entry level employee. Offering $ 13.00 hour to start with benefits no experience required I get very few responses. So in my business like many others the federal minimum wage is irrelevant as we have difficulty finding employees at double the legal minimum wage. And I will add I am located in central Alabama not a area of a high cost of living.
I'm on the way. Thanks for hiring me, I always wanted to move to Alabama personally. My cousin was born there.From the perspective of a old small business owner.
