Jacob you need to be very careful.
I do make what most people classify as upper income. I don't do it through low wages no. I don't do it through the stock market(It has only cost me a few grand from 401k contributions that fell below investment limits kicked out and then got taxed based on original value and I lost substantial liquid assets).
I work as a mechanic and I work as an escalations rep for Citi. As a Mechanic I work morning and evenings by myself when no one else is there(I open and close and do alot of prep work and repair alot of things after they have been diagnosed). I work also on Sundays doing the same after the other two guys have setup things to be finished off.
For Citi I handle the really obnoxious calls from customers who are livid. I do it for 10 hours a day 4 days a week fridays off(Mowing my own yard). It pays very well, because I have alot of previous experience with Citi and every single year my Manager, HR and my site manager rate me the highest possible and I get the maximum possible raise per hour per year. I also pull down a bonus every month for number of customers handled per hour, money collected, and customers satisfied.
After that my two part time jobs I mostly do as charity to family or family friends. My aunt mows for a local college, but its way too much work for one person so I take about 6 hours (friday and saturday) to help her get it done. On friday and Sunday I work for a neighbor who lives out on TN107 who owns a day lily farm because hes elderly and can't do it himself anymore. I pay for my gas usage, cell and car insurance using those two.
Depending on how well I perform at Citi(calls per hour-money per hour) I make over a year anywhere from 42-46K. Working as a mechanic I make about that much, but its much more variable and I haven't been doing it for more than 2 months so I can't tell you exactly. The other two are seasonal.
What you are saying is that despite the fact I have earned that pay difference I shouldn't get it? If you want to tell me I didn't earn it I would like to see an example of someone who earned it. . .
