Yeah, it was wonderful, gasoline was around 39 cents a pack of cigs were a 1/4 and a loaf of bread was 10 cents. But then just like we see today, the call for higher minimum wages means higher costs for all those items.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
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.
Dude, you really are a stupid fuck...43 years later i retired at $115,000 an hour, are you really that daft?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.
I call BULLSHIT
$115,000 an hour equates to $240 million a year
While in Saudi Arabia working 5 1/2 years paid no taxes to the federal government. Best 5 1/2 years of my life..
Born on Third Base and Thinks He Hit a TripleWhat 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.
Not everyone can take risks, particularly if they have a family to support. I too have done very well financially. I only wish today, I had spent more time with my family and less time chasing the almighty dollar. In the long run, it's not how much money you accumulated in your life but rather what you actually did with your life that made a difference in the lives of others.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..

I don't know if you are referring to me or Jim as being "Born on 3rd base and thinks he hit a triple" but I can assure you, I started at home plate. I also don't understand why you bring billionaires into the discussion who were born into wealth. That has nothing to do with the subject of this thread.Born on Third Base and Thinks He Hit a Triple
It's not my or most people's fault that we were brought up wrong and forced to be dependent on our parents, our bosses, or the government. From what I've learned, I definitely would have earned money from childhood on and started my own business, however small wouldn't have mattered, as long as it was my own.
Praising Bill Gates and Warren Buffett for owning their own businesses even in high school is cruel to the reality of the way most of us were brought up. Those fortunate sons were never brought up to be employees; Gates's father was a multi-millionaire and Buffett's was a US Congressmen; that's the only reason for their head-started success. In a free country, there would be 99 Bill Gateses, so those who were set up halfway to the finish line have no reason to feel superior and little to be proud of that would make them role models.
Too many people got complacent with their employment and wanted to just live a normal life, you know steady income(taxed) and eventually retire(taxed) but that fucking government kept getting in the way so those elites could use all the tax loopholes they made for themselves while taxing most elderly into poverty. I learned all about those loopholes(legal because the elites use them) and used them to my advantage. If you are still in your 60s and 70s and this country doesnt become a socialist shithole, many can still get those tax breaks just by learning to use them..Born on Third Base and Thinks He Hit a TripleWhat Jim is saying is if you focus on your "wage" you will always be a slave to your paycheck which is 100% true.

Buying a computer does not make anyone a multi billionaire. Trillions pumped into the markets does.
It is the answer: Raise your wages by becoming more valuable to the entity who pays you, not by petitioning the government to be your nanny.
Hmm. Maybe that's the answer. Raise wages.
No, but seeing the enormous potential of licensing and selling computer operating systems software instead of giving it away sure did.Buying a computer does not make anyone a multi billionaire.

All I'm going to add to this one is thank you for your service. Regardless of how we match up politically, at some point you signed your name saying you would put yourself between a terrorist bullet and my family, and I appreciate that.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..

And what has ANY of this to do with "prog slaves?"
When I started work my first job was 1.60. i was 13 and lied about my age.
I did the Navy THEN went to college.
And, SO?
What's it got to do with PROG?
I worked and invested and I will be able to retire comfortably.
So what has this to do with PROG?
Some of the most talented investors in the world are Progressives?
And have you checked your fellow Trumpinistas? not much money in buying pillows and trump hats.
So, again, what has any of this to do with PROG?
When you made 2.25 did you do any investing?
Hmm. Maybe that's the answer. Raise wages.
Thanks
