Do my SOnow makes $21 an hour. He makes enough to pay his bills every month just fine. Keep in mind he had a $50K truck, motorcycle, $30K ice shack/camper (I pay half).... So he just had to take a pay cut of $2.50 an hour. He says he cannot afford to stay working there and wants to get back into construction. There he made $30 an hour but was only home on the weekends, but June through Sept, only home one weekend a month. :(. I told him he needs to maybe just sell or get rid of some of his "toys". He said no. He pretty much would rather give up his time with me and our son just to keep his toys and money. I gave up getting married, cause he didn't want too, I gave up having children because he didn't want any(we got pregnant because bc failed and then he got fixed), I still want more children. I told him if he takes Th construction job, I will leave. I don't want too but I feel like I gave up so much for him, for him to do this.
