I'm going to sell this house, and I'm going to have $15,000 in the bank, and I'm going to pay off this $5,800 credit card.
I'm going to owe nobody anything.
And then, dude, if you go make $50,000 as a school teacher, it will come with health insurance.
Personally, I would choose less money and more time with my kid than I would never see my kid for this â
Quote unquote free health care.
That free health care is coming at a major cost to your relationship with your son, to your psychological well-being, to your overall financial well-being.
And so you make some sacrifices like you're making right now.
I'm going to be a one bedroom apartment dad right now.
Now, that's the world.
That's the cards I've got.
And I'm going to be a teacher.
And on the weekends, I'm going to drive trucks.
And in the evening, I'm going to repair, I don't know, people's front porches or something because you've got that skill set.
I'm going to do what I got to do to scratch and claw.
I'm telling you, man, that kind of hard work gets rewarded over time.
But you're you're it's again, it's you're making some amazing sacrifices.
And also another foot is still trapped in this.
Well, I guess I got it.
And dude, I've got personal family and friends who are locked into a forever blue collar life that's killing them because I get a good deal on health insurance or whatever.
And that's just not a trade.
