Are you married?
How much are you paying in alimony/child support (a % of income).
If you are broke because you let your sperm roam free and your wife left you after 5 years, then sadly I would say you fall in the sucker category.
I would suggest learning spanish and hiding out in Patagonia if you have balls, or rolling over and giving 75% of your income without complaining if not.

The job sites are the one's that move.
I work for a mechanical contractor and they bid all of southern Illinois. There is really nowhere to move too. This job will last a few more months then hopefully there will be another job lined up to do, wherever that may be.
It is the construction industry. You work wherever there is new construction.
You have multiple children, but complain you work too hard for 'the man'.
I think you work too hard because you chose to have multiple children.
If you enjoy procreating, even ones that take 1/5th of your income that you never see, then you are working for them, not the man.
Your ire is misplaced, you did this to yourself, either take it on the chin or stop procreating.
but it's the three kids that you love that make you drive 400 miles a day,
if anything 'the man' is allowing you to not lose touch with the new kids, since the girlfriend might leave if you were broke.

My judgemental opinion was a small window for you to appreciate your lot in life, and to look on things with a positive spin, and maybe blame yourself instead of others, but, it failed. Enjoy your negative outlook, it's all you.
God invented Jimmy Hats so that we wouldn't have to have 20% taken off the top of our life, which would leave anyone flat on their ass frankly. I feel for you, but anyone procreating needs to hear your story so maybe they'll wear a JIMMY HAT. If you're trying to complain about taxes, I think with 20% taken off the top you have bigger issues than taxes.edit on 28-4-2012 by iamconcerned because: .
