My wife and I work a total of 4 main jobs. I think we had 10+ total forms of income for 2023.I try to get money on the side too. I can't afford a kid. Even if I could, what time would I have to be a parent?
My in laws want us to pop out kids. We live in a 1br place. And we are just barely keeping our heads above water. They will say stuff like "well if you wait for a perfect time there will never be one," or saying it's our duty to let them have grandkids.
Linux is great.
Linux is great .... get your in-laws a puppy whether they want one or not.
Especially if they don't want one
We have a very very sweet cat that my mother-in-law loves. It's not the same. Although that cat is ridiculously friendly.
My FOSS ass immediately skipped the first two paragraphs to read the last line like a monkey neuron activation meme
Got 'em.
I'm very curious what sorts of jobs?
We both are medical caregivers for the same disabled couple. Our main full time jobs are a data center analyst and college cafeteria work. We also both collected from unemployment. I have some stocks and CDs that have helped a bunch to keep afloat. I do some work on the side here as well.
Not to invalidate the hard work, but aren't data center analysts pretty well compensated? I would think that would cover a 1b place pretty effectively and then the other sources of income would be gravy. Maybe I'm over-estimating the salary for the field. I am ignorant, I must admit.
Our HR has absolutely no clue what we do and for years thought we were a branch of their help desk. So, currently management is trying to fix that. I started at this place a year ago. Great people, just underpaid. We hopefully should get that worked out here in the next few weeks.
