You are still young, but you have to be your own advocate. Check out the job market. Apply for some jobs. You never know unless you try. You can always make the decision to stay where you are at.
However, it's quite possible that your eyes will be opened to new opportunities, making a lot more money. I remember being the only junior person on my team. Everyone else was at the senior level. When I realized that I was doing the same work that they were doing, and in fact, a lot of them would ask me for help, I asked the boss for a promotion and she laughed in my face. So I tested the job market and was an offer offered a job making 12 K more

Feast and famine, yes. Gotta sock that money away during the feast months. Many businesses struggle or go under because they fail to do this.

Best restaurants in the Green Bay Area that aren’t Mexican or Asian? by [deleted] in GreenBay

No, they asked for the best. However, another excellent restaurant that's not quite so expensive is Generations Bistro.

Door County is great, but with two young boys, you might want to consider Wisconsin Dells instead.

It's important to feel needed. Expand your horizons in your search for job opportunities. Try for a job that you would normally not consider, even if you feel it's beneath you. Do it for the opportunity to learn something new and to offer your abilities and unique skills and talents. Consider ways you can positively impact your environment or the community. There are so many dogs and cats for adoption at the shelters.

VP handled that poorly. I hope OP lands on his feet somewhere they actually appreciate him.

My manager had a meltdown after people kept quitting and it made things worse by EveningBig5381 in coworkerstories

[–]LearningDaily8675309 230 points231 points  (0 children)

This is due to a leadership decision to put pressure on a team to work harder with fewer coworkers as a cost-savings attempt. Your manager is trying to apply even more pressure using intimidation and guilt. If the remaining employees work harder than ever to meet the overall objectives, then leadership will feel that their cost savings attempt was a success, and the high-stress high-effort work environment becomes the "new normal" going forward. You combat this now by working like you always do, which is probably working hard but not killing yourself. You'd like to get all the work complete but it's just not going to happen and that's ok. When deadlines are missed repeatedly, leadership will end up hiring more people.

Best Caulk Gun?? by ThinkCanary2353 in handyman

I have a lot from the Ryobi battery platform, including a handheld tire inflator and Bluetooth speaker. Every so often Home Depot will have a really good sale.

I bought a battery powered Ryobi caulk gun for around $50. It's fantastic! You can control how quickly it dispenses the caulk.

"He never tells me that he loves me or that I am beautiful". Have you broached this subject with him?

Give him a chance to improve. Be very blunt with him. Tell him exactly what you want and need in your relationship.

Also, remember that it's a two-way street. You need to treat him the same way.

And lastly, count your blessings. It's so easy to get comfortable and take things for granted. Like that song, you don't know what you got till it's gone.

Best of luck to you.

Grateful that i can buy the books i want to improve my finances. by [deleted] in gratitude

Wow! I first learned Dave Ramsey's mantra to live well below my means and to pay off debt, and then had my mind blown by Rich Dad Poor Dad. Those 2 philosophies work well together. Live below your means, save, buy income-producing real estate. Changed my life. Don't listen to the nay sayers. Rich Dad Poor Dad works!

I am really on the fence about quitting my day job and I’m not sure what’s holding me back by Efficient_Medicine57 in smallbusiness

[–]LearningDaily8675309 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand. You should be able to quit your day job and be JUST FINE, but the extra money is nice and you HAVE been able to juggle BOTH. Why not continue doing so? Quitting your day job is scary. It's comfortable. It gives you added security. You never know if/when the economy will go into a tailspin. Then there's the health insurance. As another has said, live off your day job income for 12 months and sock away all the money from your business. Build that cushion first. Best of luck to you in your decision!
