T/s don't worry about them. Some of these guys think it's okay to live in your parents basement well into your forties.

lol they making sense but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do even when it's not ideal. Had someone come up to me a year ago and been like "aye you about to work 2 jobs 65 hours a week" I woulda been talking the same shit as them. But my situation changed so I just gotta adapt for the time being so I can get where I wanna go.

As for your suggestion about the pills I was thinking about trying to get some Adderal but I'm tryna ride this out as natural as possible..I don't want no problems like that

Keep it G there are plenty of other legit buisness you can get into without slaving away. I mean I work 40 a week on top of fulltime school shit and doing whatever I need for the army and still got my side hustle which is starting to become my main hustle selling firearms. Fairly cheap and easy to get into and way more longterm stability then houses.

Put to answer your question 5 hour energy work and it doesn't have like a crashING after affect

I know this here to be true but with my current skill set and experience levels most jobs I can get are around $10-11 / hr range until I get back in and finish school. I used to work at a credit union so this time around I wanted something where I wouldn't have to deal with the general public. I picked up the full time job for the benefits but I really like the part-time job for the skills I'd learn and be able to put on my resumé down the line.

I couldn't see myself selling guns tho

There are better jobs that you can get at a supervisor level. I'm only a year older then you but was a supervisor at a wear house at 21 because I had a forklift/pallet jacket license which you should look into getting. My whole motto in life is to work smarter not harder your gonna kill yourself physically and mentally working that much.

And as far as selling guns can understand why some might not like it but in the end it's just an exchange. Apartments and condos are good to deal with my friend has an apartment complex he gets good money from it

This is why I want the part-time position so bad...They offer training and certification and I think I'll have a better opportunity to advance within the company than the full time gig I got...and if not that I would have better footing to get a supervisor position with another company down the road if I put in the work here

Don't depend on them to do it. I don't know if you ever worked a warehouse job but they legit treatworkers like shit and alot of shady shit like using illegals as temp workers cutting corners in breaks trying make yiu do mandatory overtime. Out of all warehouses I worked at ups was the worst

But like I was saying g don't depend on the company can go online and find places in your area that does that certification and yeah go cost a lil bit but it's an investment in yourself and makes you more marketable.

aye good look for insight. I did check and see that goodwill here in Atlanta offers fork lift certification I don't know how much they charge but I'm imagining it won't be too much
 
1. dont buy property with anyone. you are working enough to do it yourself. you dont need todo all that sacrifice for a headache. trust me.

2. depends on how much time you have inbetween jobs. maybe something to assist you with sleeping like half a sleeping pill. but dont do energy drinks. they will make you body dependant and you will need them jst to function when you dont need them. sugar is very addictive.

3. be happy you have drive. that is the goal for the future and whats needed. but always look for a better opportunity that will afford you more time to yourself and less hours for someone else.

4. its ok to stop and smell the flowers every once in a while...so you wont be so stressed out. again...trust me on that.

5. reduce stress in your life.

6. stay focused

Tell your doc you are having trouble staying awake and having trouble focusing. He should prescribe you an amphetamine. If you are lucky you get some Adderal, but more likely you will get something lighter.

Before all you anti-drug zealots are shocked, hear me out. If you are going to do it anyway at least let a physician check you out. Much better than clutching your chest because you drank too many energy drinks. Amphetamines can be abused (so can energy drinks). Resist the urge to crush them up and snort them. (Joke, sorta)

:s no.

thanks for this. Can you go in a little more about the pitfalls of the bolded? If the paperwork is done right what could potentially go wrong? The reason why I thought teaming up was a good idea was because it would give us all an opportunity to get our feet wet quicker and then branch out from there after our first flip.

Dont fuck with those energy drinks

Do you fuck with caffeine at all?

Do some bumps of yayo bro lol Naw but 2 be honest black coffee is the way 2 go. I know it sounds weird but get some coffee and put ice in that bitch 2 make it cold. Chug that hoe down. It'll kick in quick lol some white boy told me about it when I was working 2 jobs one being the graveyard shift. And i dont even like coffee lol
 
I never had two jobs but if I did then it'll be towards something that I'm passionate about. Props for you working towards a common goal & it's not going to be a permanent thing. I know people that is excited about having two hard labor jobs & they are not doing anything to better themselves in life. I read a quote once before "the man that uses his head defeats the man that uses his hands". Oh yeah Stiff, stay away from energy drinks too. That shit almost killed a nigga lol. I use to be an energy drink holic years ago & the crash is the WOAT. Also, my appetite use to be the WOAT from it

Overall dope thread

Don't rely on those energy drinks but on those days where you got barely any sleep and you're feeling burnt out those sugar free monsters are goat, every once in a while isn't going to hurt, if you really need a pick me upper regularly then I guess coffee is the way to go but caffeine is highly addictive be careful, I would go a more natural route
 
I did it my first 2-3 years out of college.. My first job was a corporate job in which i didn't really do shit. I wore a hoody in the office since it was always cold. I would put the hoody on and take a nap everyday..

It's worth it fam.. Do what you gotta do.. Just know this should be temporary... Make sure you have a plan in place to transition from working this much to working less..
 
Water and vitamin a,b,c,d,e and fish oil

I've been on that since 2013, work 80 hours a week but I am able to catch about 6 hours of sleep per night at work because I work in a group home overnight

It doesn't matter how much money you make, if you don't like your job then leave it to go to another job, develop a business, turn your side hustle into full time or research something to get into.
 
Aye bruh, life is long, you young as shit, work as much as you can as long as you have a goal in mind.

And working is only half the battle, its also the easier part. The second half is actually saving. Remember its not how much you make, its how much you save.

Dont kill yourself working and then spend on stupid shit.

As long as you dont lose sight of your goal working long hours for a set amount of time is no big deal.

You still young and will make mistakes along the way. Long as you have the drive to live better, you will get up after every fall.

You gotta do whatevers necessary to get to where you gotta go, sometimes working 16 hours a day is one of those things.

Props though. Not everyone has the drive to work 2 jobs as a stepping stone to a better life.

Keep your head up and keep it pushing
