    I am with you on the family. 4 kids and one wife, cannot afford more than one of those ;). I do well on this account especially now with the raise. And once August gets here and I hit .41 cpm it will be really good. I would work a lot harder if I did not have to consider the 70 hour clock. As it is I have to limit myself to keep rolling the 4 weeks I stay out at a time. When things are working like they are supposed to I am picking up or delivering every other day.

    My wife watches a tv show, Sister Wives or something like that...I told her any dude with more than one wife was a fool...I can barely deal with one.

    Nope, it's 75 plus another 25 for hotel stay for one year, then they pay you that amount for the next year. Trust me, I just graduated this year. I think it used to be 37.50 for 2 years but they changed it.

    All for bringing others in makes things interesting (men and women), that said as much as I'd like the company and help of a Sister Wife, Steve can barely keep me in Coach purses and fancy cars another wife would hurt my bottom line :) but hey if Steve had a Brother Husband he might get some of load taken of his shoulders and get a day off to do what he wants and not what I or the kids need him to do. It all comes down to compromise hard enough to compromise with one spouse, 2 or more people's feelings you have take into account, that's too much work.

    bringing in others indeed makes things interesting and spices stuff up as long as you dont let it take over, my wife and I have very strict rules when it comes to playing.

    also on the hotel stay its $25 a week but not for a whole year, its $500 for the stay.

    Been solo here for 2 weeks. Pay is indeed 3 CPM higher than I was told. I'm making 28 CPM and up to 44 CPM for short haul.
