What if youre being paid (many are) below a livable wage?
From the moment you get your first job until you die or retire, you should always be seeking more income and more opportunity. By learning new skills and networking and putting yourself out there.
The vast majority of people in the bottom 25% do not remain there over their working lifetime. If you fuck up it becomes considerably harder.
Dang. Im one of the ones that fucked up.
How? It's never too late.
I just burned myself out and it never built anything for me, I have no assets or savings or anything and my resume/background check credentials have overall deteriorated. I just want my life to be over at this point, the holes too deep.
Well, it's not too late until you're dead. The dude who started KFC started it in his 60s IIRC.
