43 years ago, i started work at $2.10 an hour, when i finally retired my wages were over $115,000 an hour plus benefits. Prog slaves wont learn.

[Flash]

After high school i went to work at McD's at $2.10 an hour while going to the University of Cincinnati. After 6 months i realized that college wasnt for me, so i tried to get a full time job, but McD's only had part timers, of my age. I went to work at Bill Knapp's as a short order Chef again making $2.10 an hour but after i was certified to work the whole kitchen i got a 15 cent raise and was able to work alone during off peak hours. Then 6 months later the wonderful government decided that minimum wage should be $2.25 an hour so i was working entry level wages again, even though i had the responsibility to be alone, while entry had to have supervision. Thanks Progressives. So i left Bill Knapp's and went into the military where i could fix jets. Spent 9 /12 years there, learning all i could about A-10s and F-15s, and when i got out, had to go back to making 10 cents above minimum wage, but at Home Depot, a stock clerk. This is where i learned about investing in stocks, and since HD was going for 35 dollars a share(after all the splits the cost value is under a dollar), i put in the max contributions , while the dividends were only paying 16 cents per share. Then the break i had been waiting for happened. A job opening in Saudi Arabia working the Royal Saudi AF F-15s base pay was $12 an hour with $6 cost of living allowance plus contract bonus complete award of $7,000 and 2 paid vacations($10,000 per family to use or put in the bank). So every year for 5 1/2 years i continued to purchase HD stock, also contribute to McDonnell Douglas stock(which got bought out by Boeing). Today i have over 35,000 shards of HD, and plenty of other dividend paying stocks. Why, because i took risks, with risks come rewards(and sometime failures), those who dont take a risk, mostly live paycheck to paycheck, live moderately in lifestyle, and those i respect, but the progressive slave who bitches and moans that their lives were made victim because someone like me took their shit away, are just that, slaves to their progressive masters. That is a little history that i share. I have had plenty of people go and take a risk, and they have been rewarded. Those that didnt listen, are still slaves..

But you should share that with those victims of racism, you know, just to be fair.

Think of those poor people that didn't want to take risk are now suffering and here you have so much. The government should take your money and give it to the welfare queens.

I do OK in my retirement but it could have been much sweeter. I once transferred my entire 401K into Lockheed Martin stock when it fell to about $16/share. Within the next week it rose to higher levels and I bailed out with a nice $50K profit. However, it continued to rise and instead of making $50K I could have made a couple of million.

I don't think it is fair that you took risk and made money while I took minimal risk and only made a little bit. You should do the right thing and give me some of your money. Better yet the government should steal it from you and give it to me. You know, so that we can be more equal.

What Jim is saying is if you focus on your "wage" you will always be a slave to your paycheck which is 100% true. Unless you run your own business, you have to invest and take risks to become financially independent.

I always wanted to run my own business and after running other people's started my own because I wanted to earn more and not have to pee to get and keep a job...

LoL I never heard anyone say they started their own company to avoid taking a drug test, but hey whatever it takes!

I know such a person. Probably others but they have never stated it out loud. I can only assume he has been successful which to me shows a pee test is not always necessary.

Well that was whiny.

You'd think he'd be happy what with all that dough, but no, he seems bitter and haggard from looking down his nose at people....

I am bitter because dumbasses like you , want the federal government to steal from me, so you lazy ass can smoke dope and be a shit slave..

When you made 2.25 did you do any investing?

Hmm. Maybe that's the answer. Raise wages.

Thanks

 

[Mikeoxenormous]

So you credit the Government with teaching you the skills to get out of a minimum wage job

There is a difference in having the government(Shit stain politicians who give welfare) and military(which you shit stains hate) where you learn valuable skills and knowledge but also discipline, which a prog slave never learns. So fuck off winger....

The minimum wage increased to $2.00 an hour in 1974, $2.10 in 1975, and $2.30 in 1976 for all except farm workers, whose minimum initially rose to $1.60. Parity with nonfarm workers was reached at $2.30 with the 1977 amendments.

Okay, i stand corrected, you are right it wasnt $2.25 but $2.30 cents an hour but still, when i was 1 year into work, and got a raise to $2.30 an hour i was again entry level, instead of being paid for my experience. But it is okay, i understand petulant little girls like you, because you hate people who took the risk to acquire wealth in their journey through life.

Talk about living high on the hog! $2.10 an hour! Must have been nice. I think it was the SECOND job I got that I was making a mere $1.85 an hour. The job before that, my first I think, was running a trash vacuum at a county fair, it was a temp job, I don't remember what that paid.
