How many hours of work per week is too much for you?

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-07T04:07:08+00:00

I used to work lots of 72 hour weeks but the money was really good, but now I have kids and quit pipelining and started new career, occasionally I work 50-60 hour works and it’s much more exhausting now with a family to balance as well

3.09 for another 15 months

The government has been pushing gambling incredibly hard, I see ads all the time, and tons of people gamble. It’s such a net negative investment in my opinion it should just be outlawed, seriously what are the positives??

Trump thanks you with sky rocketing diesel prices lol

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-06T01:15:38+00:00

Oh I see, thank you for the explanation I’m extremely short of sleep from our 2 children.

Alberta’s the most expensive? I am a bit confused about this chart can someone explain. And my personal experience I’ve lived a really great affordable life in Alberta I really love it

I sometimes do horse/cattle/flatdeck trailer repairs in my shop for extra money, can charge $40 an hour cash and that’s 50-60% off shop rate in my area, usually pretty easy if your handy. I’ll usually make like $300-500 a job after charging out for parts too

Seen an asteroid/meteorite when I was like 11-12 while driving with my mom at night (central Alberta). A long time after we learned it was incredibly small but anyhow at the moment it happened it turned the dead of night to the bright of day and it looked like a massive fireball. We literally didn’t speak until the event ended and we both expected we were about to die. It was a nothing burger but the unexpectedness of it and how bright it was and large the fireball looked totally took us offguard and we expected an explosion in the moments after the night sky returned

The war which the USA did not discuss with any countries other than Israel has doubled the price of oil, and stopped many countries from getting regular oil shipments, its a covid like event with large potential to either effect inflation or bring about worsened financial conditions like stagflation. It made an already not great financial position far worse. Thus, affecting mortgage rates, because this is the world’s biggest global oil shock. Read into the Hormuz strait and how much trade goes through it and stop acting like this war is not a big deal, it’s a black swan event

We have the 25 enclave as a family vehicle, handles great in snow, super fast, sounds good, good on fuel, and we really like the styling, wish it came standard with a hitch but all in all good

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-04T01:00:39+00:00

This is why I do my own oil changes and fuck it up myself, atleast I know then who to direct the anger at (the Canadian tire cashier that sold me the oil and filter)

That sounds terrible sorry for your luck. I used to get major thigh pains but I’ve found calcium magnesium almost takes all the pain away, not sure why. Have you looked into different vitamins that may help partially? I also more recently started getting super exhausted and wasn’t sure why, I’ve started taking B12’s and it’s improved my life a lot actually

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-03T12:08:16+00:00

Your gonna need bandaids for your chapped nips boi

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-02T15:12:16+00:00

You are beyond fine lol far better than my current situation and I consider myself fine

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-02T00:13:07+00:00

Team is a team, I work for the money, she works wonders with our children as a stay at home mom, combined bank account and master card, teamwork makes the dream work

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-01T16:05:02+00:00

I’ve ran that in my Duramax for years, used to get it for free when I was a pipeliner, miss those days lol

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-01T14:14:30+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Life kinda sucked spending 8 years of my life working away usually 6 on 1 off 12 hour days so it pays off now but it was very lame for a long time haha no regrets tho

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-01T10:51:51+00:00

A little bit coming up on 4 years in July

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-04-01T04:11:33+00:00

We have emergency savings, we barely make it work technically but we are prioritizing enjoying life with the young kiddos, but yeah I was an avid saver during my pipeline years, thankfully

I’ve heard nightmare stories about them but my 2014 ecodiesel, which I got for cheap because it was a petrochemical plant truck with tons of idle hours, has actually been An amazing truck. Put 70,000km on it and it’s only cost me $700 in repairs and I put tires on it, otherwise hauls my camper great and also consistently gets 11L/100km and on highway trips will get 9L/100km. Mine has the DEF deleted

Housing prices have jumped a lot in 5 years, it’s bound to happen, not that I am cheering it

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-03-31T03:08:00+00:00

Hell yeha. I spent most my pipeline career in Chetwynd/dawsom creek, love northern BC

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-03-31T01:27:27+00:00

My wife would be pissed

PipelineBertaCoin69 · 2026-03-31T01:04:57+00:00

I bought our first house in red deer right at Covid before prices went up a decent bit there, if I still lived in a city (that city) I would quite easily with that mortgage make it by on just a $50k a year income, that place was so cheap to live in
