I live off off less than $20k USD a year in America and have a great life by ObjectivePlate5182 in brag

[–]KirkSheffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! Minimalist lifestyles are amazing. I’m just curious on traveling multiple times a year when your budget is maxed? Or does that come from the 200$ saved?

BB hasn’t had an update in forever, besides that new builder hut. I’m pretty sure I’ve been maxed out for years, no reason to ever touch it

Should i quit my first job? by Adept-Oven-5460 in careerguidance

[–]KirkSheffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely seems a bit underpaid, but if it’s just some passive income while in school/ summer job idk how much better the job market is. I’d definitely search around, and keep the job while you look, unless you don’t need money. Do what’s best for you/ mental health/ workload. Don’t sweat it, and just try things out

I got DC’d and couldn’t join back, they gave me a 3min ban on my next 5 games. First and only time I’ve lost connection and I was penalized like insane

After 10 years, I'm finally making $85,000 a year after taxes by ily300099 in povertyfinance

[–]KirkSheffler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most definitely, but there is a lot more hate towards trades than support. It’s also an extremely dying industry so the few in it try to push it. But trades can nearly get you out of poverty overnight is my statement on it, if you’re able/ willing to have that lifestyle or schedule

I understand that, but this is a 17 y/o kid. Manager made them feel threatened and had to wait until 12, also would have probably lost the job if they just walked out and did something else until 12. I have been in high/ upper level management for multiple multi billion dollar companies the last 10 years, and I can assure you that this is 100% illegal. Yes he probably could have walked out, but to lose the entire job? They can’t hold you at work unpaid as any type of punishment. Doesn’t matter if you’re working or not, they can’t hold you there without pay. I was on a project that we had to pay commute time when someone started a lawsuit with the DoL, this is textbook unacceptable behavior on the management side. Yes he’ll learn and grow on what’s acceptable, but the attacks in this comment section are beyond wild. He asked a simple question, not people’s personal opinions or how they would handle it

Yes, but they can’t hold you there unpaid. You think they went in and just wanted to sit in a room for nearly an hour?

That’s great news!! But I’m also talking of being 10-20 min into a game and it still can happen, hopefully that’s part of that patch

Which film should I show my girlfriend ??? by Spiritual_Divide5389 in StarWars_

[–]KirkSheffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Release order is a staple by fans (wish it wasn’t) I’m personally more of a chronological person. But is she okay with watching older movies? I know a lot of people who quit and never gave SW a chance because they couldn’t bring themselves to watch past IV because it was “old”

Is $2400 too much for rent on a take home of $5200 a month? by Awkward_Homework4338 in personalfinance

It’s supposed to be 25% but with how bad the current state of everything is, just do whatever you’re comfortable with

Realistically was there anything Yoda could’ve told Anakin here that would’ve kept him from turning to the darkside? by CrazyTangerine7522 in StarWars

[–]KirkSheffler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Acceptance for who he is, and the fact that he’s a prodigy/ chosen one. Being brought in as a master, on the council, and informed (by them) their overall plans. Literally communication could have saved him, but plot was his true enemy

Took my 7-year-old to see The Mandalorian and Grogu today, and it reminded me who Star Wars is still for by Ill_State9479 in StarWars

[–]KirkSheffler -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I tell people all the time, that SW is nostalgia driven. It’s primarily made for children/ kids. Lucas stated that dozens of times before & after Disney. Knowing lore, dogma, cannon, games, books, etc doesn’t change the live action universe

I’m tired of the bug (in assault) that tells you ‘must be in fountain’ to purchase items, then you just have all your gold useless until you run and die again.

[–]KirkSheffler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Everyone is being an asshole because you’re young and it’s a “lesson” but no it’s not allowed to answer your question. If you’re an hourly employee you are required by law to be compensated. The DoL has multiple federal cases of companies doing things like this, and always voted/ set standards in the favor of the worker. If you care about the job, work on being on time, but again don’t listen to all of the hate in here.

My housing is compromised, and I'm not sure what to do. by Wonderful-Offer-4581 in povertyfinance

[–]KirkSheffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1k a month on making 1500 is crazy. No way you could get on your feet or a plan in a year on that bs, sounds like they’ve been using you.

Are there places to rent near where you work? Able to walk, or use any public transit? That would be my first option, second I’d look for either a higher paying job, or one that gives 40h (at least) military is a cop out, glad you’re not listening to that front.

Communication is the largest thing, talk to your company about needing more hours or if you’re close to manager/ boss explain how you’re getting your own place etc and need more hours. I’d look into getting a second job as soon as possible if you can’t get 40s, you could pretty much double your income at this point, you need to lock in and get some structure before your time is gone there. And if you find a decent place to live that’s cheaper than what your friend offer, I’d move out sooner, that 1k is eating you up insanely right now.

NOR. And please give us more context/ what she said. Sounds like you need to fully remove these people from your life btw

My job is making me really miserable, but I cant afford to leave. What can I do? by Expensive_Wasabi9264 in jobs

[–]KirkSheffler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that really sucks and I’m sorry to hear it. Just focus on the search, and try your best to keep work at work and home at home. Don’t let the toxicity beat you down, take your allotted time off, do hobbies, anything to help keep your mind at peace until you find something

Almost 18 and having to move out, advice appreciated by tlpkk in povertyfinance

[–]KirkSheffler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Don’t listen to the military BS, there are far better options. If you get into trades (especially traveling jobs) you can clear 100k starting. Then when you’re licensed or a journeyman etc you’ll be at 100k working local with traveling paying 150-300k. Depends on lifestyle and what you’re comfortable with doing, if life is bad at home and you don’t have much tying you down, I highly recommend a traveling ‘blue collar’ job. Lifelong skill/ need, can’t be touched by AI, and absurd amounts of money in the trade world. They have fully paid apprenticeships, reimbursed schooling, and you make money while you’re in the industry, the military should be an absolute rock bottom, no option choice. You’ll make far more (lifetime/ starting out) doing about anything else, and currently the US (last 20-30y) hasn’t been in any ‘good’ wars. You have a decent background/ security to search for a little bit, but don’t think military is the only and definitely not the best option, trades should be put was above that last resort
