What do you do for a living?...

[rogdeb]

Quite a variety of jobs here -- real and fantasy :lol:

Deb and I are both retired :yahoo: , and it's taken us since 2002 to farkle out Red Sylvie, one small farkle at a time.

 

[Wild72]

Design & install custom audio/video and automation systems. Former boss promoted me to partner earlier this year. Same job, but with more responsibilty, a litttle more money, and even less time off. (Particularly now that football season is imminent!)

Wife graduated University last year as a nurse, and since I spent several years supporting her and the sprogs, it's time to spend some on me now :yahoo:

I work for the DoD (specifically the Marine Corps) finding new and entertaining ways to spend your Federal Tax money on IT related stuff. Thanks everyone. I couldn't possibly try all of this stuff on my own budget.

I work for DOD also (specifically the Navy) and I didn't think we gave you any money to buy stuff after our budget is done..... Actually, all the marines I have worked with have had to scrape to get what they need but I hear that is changing.

Travel pays for my farkles, I starve myself on trips and use the Per Diem to pay for the things I want. Trouble is, travel hasn't happened in a few months so the farkles are on hold. That and we just bought a new cage. :huh:

Eeep!

You would be suprised of what you dont really need. My best investment was a $35.00 Vista cruise. Wait a minute, thats my only farkle besides some frame sliders.

[MrTwisty]

I'm a mechanical engineer specializing in factory automation. In other words, I put people out of a job so that I can keep mine.

 

[radman]

Hooker. I mean, check the avatar-I'm swamped with work. (Well, check the avatar after a polite mourning period has passed).

 

[Duff]

I'm the HMFIC of Nunya G.D.B. Inc. :evilgrin:

The work sucks, the hours are lousy but it pays the bills.

 

[jet mechanic]

Well I guess my screen name says it all.

I work in a Corporate flight dept for one of the top 2 banks.

Work on G550's and Falcon 2000's, for all you aviation buffs.

Absolutely love my job.

My wife works almost every weekend (she won't ride back seat), I barely work over 30 hours per week and have lots of free time to play.

 

[jmdaniel]

totally agree. they still can't fathom why i'm not interested in poppin out babies every year like the rest of my crazy cousins.
that would be a great plate on a bike or a fabulous ride like you have. somehow it just wouldn't work on my G6. even though it is a good lookin car, its too cheap for that kinda statement.

Fixed it for ya...

Either way, ya can't take it with you. hehehehehe......

 

[brazos parker]

Retired.

I used to have the money, but not the time to farkle/ride.

Now, I've got the time, but not the money.

Ironic, huh?

 

[timalan]

I am not sure I am allowed to post (completely Off-topic) But,

I Turn tiny screws all day with magnifying head gear strapped on my head,,,, all day.

Edit for picture:

Gotta love Jeans and Gumby shirts at work. Camera/Phone sorry.



I did Three things right.

I married a woman who likes to have(not spend) money.

I bought a Hud house for 23000 bucks and 6 years later sold it for 80000.

Then I bout a 150000 house and sold it three years later for 200000.

Both those enable me to Pay every debt I have incurred. Including The FJR OFF.

I will work my job till my boss and friend retires (he is 67 in a month)

Then Hopefully my wife will be done with college and I can semi retire. All my kids are off to college (even the sixteen Y/O)

Farkle if you want But riding is more fun.

 

[HaulinAshe]

...My wife works almost every weekend (she won't ride back seat),...

Once upon a time I had one that wouldn't do that either. Traded her in.

Ooops! You said seat. My bad!

holy typo! :dribble: thanks for the fix dude!!!!

 

[SPORT]

Seems like people on here are constantly adding farkles with endless amounts of income. Do you have to sacrifice other things or is your job paying that well? I'm a high school teacher and although I may not be able to add farkle after farkle, I do get 2 months off to ride any time I want. :yahoo:

A better question might be, "what do you do for leasure?"

Although I am a public school teacher, I do not pay for the newspaper, Cable/Satelite TV/Radio; I do not eat out very often (unless I'm on a road trip), I do not buy expensive clothes (thoughI buy quality), I do my own mechanical work (whether it be on the house, car or bike). I pay my credit card off each month so as to not have to pay interest. I live just below my means and save what's left. If it is not part of my passion, and it's not needed for the family or I, I do not buy it. I prefer Henry Ford's thought..."A penny saved is a penny earned."

Just my $0.01 (saved a penny there)
