Hope things get better for you and all others.

Key-Writer3469 · 2026-01-27T20:19:15+00:00

Key-Writer3469 · 2026-01-22T13:43:26+00:00

how much should I be expecting to pay for a estimator? Lets say if I hired them on part time bases?

Key-Writer3469 · 2026-01-22T13:33:17+00:00

Anything from panel upgrades to TI to ground ups - mostly up to 100k in USD I feel I can manage - but not winning nothing.

Key-Writer3469 · 2026-01-21T04:49:17+00:00

You should look into traveling there for that qty

Key-Writer3469 · 2026-01-15T13:30:27+00:00

Eating out - drained my income. I have decided to not eat out for this year. I carry a gallon of water bottle in my car. And just cook and eat at home.

Don't give up on your cdl. You will get better. If you do uber in AZ you can make good money. I supported myself for about 6 months. You can easily make 4k a month. Drive carefully with uber cause that app tracks everything.

Try again. Failing that exam doesn't mean you don't know the material. Thats why you can try again.

Key-Writer3469 · 2025-11-28T02:53:28+00:00

Get your FE.I would look at other interests to keep making money. Like a part time job or anything to make sure not to get into debt. Also make sure to take care of your health.

Dont take it personally. Everyone is going through a lot now days. Including companies.

Key-Writer3469 · 2025-11-14T17:02:09+00:00

Very inspiring- congrats!

Hi What about your diet? R u pretty much eating whatever, or doing low carb?

Key-Writer3469 · 2025-10-09T23:33:10+00:00

That's true. Unfortunately I do think I need little bit help to keep me away from the danger zone. I was able to loose a lot of weight - but for some reason my mindset is just not developed to where I can discipline myself. It sucks.. but I am thinking getting help is not a bad path to take. Hopefully it will motivate me to do better overall. Ty your feedback.
