day job as a phone tech

side hustles a little nuisance trapping and some tree work

stuff I do for me/family so I don't have to work at the first job more than the hours they would let me have.
also I have issues paying people to do things I can do myself unless I really don't have the tools and buying them isn't cost effective, it takes longer than I have to learn how , time or it involves really tall ladders.
firewood , anything home or auto maintenance and repairs , yard work , butchering , appliance repair and about anything else that needs doing.

volunteer stuff , down to 4-H , rifle club and one committee.

stuff I do because I like to
fish , hunt , trap , garden , cook and drink beer.

all that doesn't leave much time to do anything else.

America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Depends how you feel I guess. If you think you’re shorting your loved ones, then hag with them more. I used to be a heavy boozer so I missed a lot of stuff. Now I work so I can do and buy cool stuff and my family benefit from that. Also so I can retire without debt. My trapping jobs are just a tiny nugget in the bag, most of my dough is from answering the phone. Speaking of which, boss called last night asking if I wanted to help move a grain bin this morning. Lift a few lines and then off to the shack for the night.
