Yeah, and often times what they don’t tell you is one of those jobs was likely part of a hobby, or passion they had, and/or had a lot of downtime to read, and workout on the clock, and shit while getting a break from the nagging wife. I’ve known people who’ve done this all my life, and it wasn’t specifically for more money, but they’d never miss an opportunity to boo hoo, and play victim about “having” to work a second job. BULLSHTI!!! Often times that extra money was used on lots of unnecessary bullshit too.

Everyone bullshits and pretends they are hard workers or exaggerate the difficulty of their jobs.

Yeah, we only had one TV. Tragic.

All we had to compensate was half a dozen rooms fully of handcarved, antique wooden furniture. That's not worth anything, right?

a big one is every boomer was in some band so one of their 3 jobs was literally just 1 day a month or 2 or if their band was popular every weekend going and playing a gig at some bar because they all still had live music back then

No shit, I knew a boomer who was a ranger at a golfcourse for free golf, one who worked at RadioShack to support some hobbies, one who worked at a gun range, and last but not least I knew the “band guy”. 🤣

my family had a bunch of band guys. My father farmed, (chores), sprayed brush for the county, played in a band, and his fourth job was just helping neighbors farm when they needed help. four sources of income = four jobs when he worked only 40 hours a week tops bought and raced cars for slips ( sell back cheap) on a week wages that were high end cars. ate out every day and went to the bar every day of the weekend

He does the boomerisms of "get a degree, get a house( debt and debt)" because that is what his siblings did and it worked out better for them in that economy when whites still got jobs then and could get promoted but he doesn't act like we are entitled as much because he fell into the debt trap and worked for the county for 40 years and then got dumped 6 years before retirement so he ended up having to take his pension early and now works for near min wage trying to keep paying his debt
