Yeah, but you have to put things in perspective. For example the average Joe in my area is lucky to make $10 an hour working 40 hours a week. And that work is more than likely hard backbreaking work. Now if someone is making the same $400 a week only working 2 hours a day running their "mom & pop" tgp then aren't they ahead of the curve? Not only are they making the same money for LESS hours work, it's easier work and they can make their own schedule. If that $400 is not enough it's not like one couldn't get a real job for the other 30 hours and even if they made only $8 and hour their total income would equal $16 an hour which is 60% more than the average Joe in my area. So I guess it's all in how you look at it.
I have loads of free time. I suppose I could do less fucking around and get a job somewhere and earn some extra cash, but right now I choose not to. But at least it's a choice and not a necessity.
