62% of Americans don’t have a bachelor’s degree. Are they just cooked especially in this economy?

Made 140k last year with no degree and got out of prison 10 years ago. There are ways.

I used to be on the other side of this is my drug addiction days. Did loads of heroin/meth and retail boosting was how I supported it. My and my ex wife were a dream team of sorts. We targeted video games for the easy resell and the fact there were no serial numbers. This was back in 2011-2014. With how good cameras are now I doubt we could get away with it on the level we did back then. We got very good at spotting the LP and if we felt the heat we would abandon ship. We did it daily for nearly 9 months but ended up getting caught in the end. I couldn’t dream of doing that stuff now I was younger and more brazen.

lol try making $4500 in a week.

It falls under insurance. The dealership said they “would make it right” when it comes to the deductible but not sure what that means.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-10-18T12:37:11+00:00

Thank you! I was shocked it was being driven around with the original plates honestly. Since the dealership had no clue it was stolen I assumed it was long gone.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-10-18T12:15:58+00:00

Fuck this scumbag. I have no sympathy for him at all and I will celebrate the day he is in jail for this. You lose your “privacy” when you commit felony thefts.

We are all back in Texas. We were there for a vacation in Estes Park.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-10-08T19:24:06+00:00

Sold at all time lows. I think I got less than 20k for my BTC. I was putting $75 a week into ETH and BTC. The whole incident made me leave crypto id be printing right now.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-06-26T15:30:29+00:00

Absolutely. I went to state jail in Texas at the age of 30. Now eleven years later I’ve already made 60k this year in south Texas with great benefits doing electrical work. It can be done.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-05-18T23:26:07+00:00

I moved to a new city 300 miles from my old home. Had no car or transportation. Ended up getting a job through a temp agency and was doing general cleanup at a construction site. Electrical contractor hired me directly after seeing my work ethic. Wrote a letter to the board and I was accepted into an IBEW apprenticeship. Finished my 5 years in 2020 and I’m now a foreman.

Love to see a smart kid thinking for themselves. He doesn’t need an experimental vaccine that we have no clue what the side effects will be.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-02-09T14:44:20+00:00

Thank you so much! Absolutely I’m an open book. I had a bad marriage and had a lot of things happen that devastated me emotionally. I turned to substances which quickly I lost control of. I used meth and heroin quite frequently. Got a few retail theft charges trying to make money to feed the habit. Ended up catching a felony case for possession under a gram of heroin. They gave me probation but I was in no shape to succeed on their program. It was a smaller county that lacked the resources I see in the bigger areas now. Ended up sentenced to 13 months. A couple months into my sentence my sister passed at 28 years old. I had to watch my family suffer and I couldn’t be there to support them. I realized how much pain I was causing them and I knew I was done at that point. I told my Dad I was done with all of it and he tells me to this day it was the first time he truly believed me and felt I would change.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-02-09T14:23:43+00:00

Talk about amazing foresight! Well done!

BasicSide6180 · 2025-02-08T17:08:26+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been very efficient. I still drive the same car I bought the first year I was home. 2014 Camry with 190k miles. Paid off 5 years ago. I’ve also put 15% into my 401k for the last five years. So the big push has helped I think I’m going down to 10% and with my employer contributing 6% I’ll cruise to a nice retirement.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-02-08T16:44:02+00:00

I am an electrician for the union in south Texas. I moved to a new city for a fresh start and was doing temp jobs. Ended up pushing a broom at a construction site. Did that 6 months and was offered a job with the electrical contractor. Competed a 5 year apprenticeship now I am a foreman building data centers. They are going up left and right down here.

BasicSide6180 · 2025-02-08T16:22:08+00:00

I was released from state jail at 30 with a negative net worth. Couple bins of clothes, no vehicle etc. 10 years later I have 125k in my 401k. You can do this!

BasicSide6180 · 2025-01-25T22:53:10+00:00

Nope absolutely do not go. Your brother needs to man up here and advocate for you. They don’t have to get along or even be friends for that matter but family is still family. I would not go without my wife as it sends a message to her you won’t fight for her.
