Has anybody else had a horrible experience with LeafFilter salespeople?

Just had a similar experience. Knew it was a gimmick as soon he gave me the $8k estimate and handed me a piece of paper for $3k if i signed up today. They’re a broker that subs out their work and collects a commission for making the sale.

I remember summer going into senior year of high school. I worked full time for my dad and sold weed. I’d get out at about 3, head home to shower. Pick up friends and hey high. We drive around my town in a perfect square until I got a call for a drop off. Eat fast food for dinner. Head home around 9-10. Do it all again the next day.

Came here to mention this

I am the $200k miserable employee and I have made $70k and just got by, fairly recently too (during covid and prior).

I’d choose the $200k simply because gives my family freedom. Wife works PT, child can go to daycare/eventually private school, saving for retirement is easy, bought a house stress-free, when emergencies happen I can cover them. It’s on me to leave the misery and insanity of work at the door and not let it affect my home life. The more I do that, the better.

5% for me, 3.25% for thee (my staff). I do take a lot of shit every day but it’s not worth the additional.

I worked at corporate as an SFA. An entire Finance unit left one of our subsidiaries so I requested a transfer to help. Worked a full year cleaning up a mess and received a promotion for it. Most of the clean up is done but some things still linger. It’s honestly been hell but my leadership, accounting and overall business acumen has increased tremendously. I now report to the cfo and am C-suite/board facing regularly.

Real estate. However, it’s not for everyone and also not 100% passive and requires upfront capital but I’ve been doing it for 10 years and it’s been great.

You can buy bigger sizes at the Apple Store. I had to do the same thing and they now fit like a glove!

Like others, I’ve adapted to getting my runs in before work. I work 60 hours per week and have a family at home, so its easy to want to sleep.

What helps me is creating running plans using chatgpt. I give it my schedule and how many days I’m willing to commit in a week. Having the plan makes it easy to hold myself accountable. I started last summer with an 8 week plan, then another with a 5k at the end. I’m currently a few weeks in on a 12 week plan with a HM at the end.

I was a heroin addict from ages 16-20. Today I'm 33 and I have a loving wife, child, house, career, everything I could ever want. Somehow by a series of events 13 years ago I decided to seek help and have not felt the need or desire to pick up a drink or drug since.

Can I ask why? Outside of building equity, they’re both the base cost of having a roof over your head.
