Why does it seem like so many guys in this trade have pretty bad financial problems?
Groundman here, but Seriously, what is up with the seemingly outrageous number of guys in the trade that have to work 5 10’s, with no rain outs, plus the optional Saturday, or they’re going to be broke by the next check?
It’s honestly kinda embarrassing to hear about some of the guys who get themselves into a position where they simply cannot miss work, and I’m starting to wonder if literally the entire trade is filled to the brim with broke mother fuckers. Or maybe the ones that are doing alright just drag way more?
Like are we really all just that dense and stupid with money? Or is it just that the 4 kids, the 3 ex wives, the 2 dui lawyers, and the truck payment finally end up adding up?
Idk but I’m enjoying a week of 8’s right now, and kinda feel bad for the guys that aren’t 😎
