Manager of night shift operations at Deli-Boy Inc however, I saved for my watches with a number of side hustles. Auto repair and electrical mostly. I also fancy myself an advantage slot player at the casino as well. Prestige status is easy when you basically buy the jackpots on “must pay by” progressives.

I don't understand any of the last bolded part but still sounds awesome.

Agreed, just bought my first apartment building, initially a lot of work with remodeling but in a year or so when it’s done great passive income stream.
Commercial real estate broker is my day job

Only sit at certain slots where something builds up in the reels (usually some kind of icon) and when the “icons” fill the allotted spaces at the top of a reel that reel goes wild. If you hang around in a casino and check these types of slots and look through all the bets and see that maybe the first 3 reels have 3 out of 4 icons lit up apiece then your odds are about 90% win. You take that play no matter what bet. If the first reel pops wild but no other reel then the 3rd one pops wild and nothing the play is over. Worst case you may lose $20. I pulled 20k in extra pocket mo ey last year hanging out at the casino for 5-6 hours Friday and Saturdays. Progressives that must pay by say $10,000 you wait until it’s around $8800 then bring $10,000 with you and take it. 9 times out of 10 it will drop the prize a few hundred before the 10k mark. Usually make about 2-4k in profit on those. The problem is there are a lot of hustlers out there and it’s kind of a waiting game.

Tough job but better with a simple rule: pause when agitated. Good luck!

has to be the worst job in the history of the universe. I joined just to get out and do something since it's kinda tough to get out during the pandemic. People who don't fill out their census surveys seem to be the lowest form of scum this country has to offer. Nothing like going to the same houses day after day, to talk to the same idiots who refuse to answer a few questions. Then you're not allowed to tell them they're useless citizens and should be in jail because of it. should arrest all the non compliers like the good ol days



I'm in the middle of starting up my own business called Luxury Rubbish. Censusing as well when I can deal with people

I'm on the home stretch to retirement but I'm still working in the Semiconductor Industry in Process Engineering. I'm still enjoying what I do and especially enjoy the paycheck.

Thanks! I’ve never been known for patience but for the first time in my life, it’s no longer about me. I think I’m ready but it’s crazy to think about! Luckily, I have a wonderful wife and we’re excited for the journey!
