    OP

    nice try .... But He is home every night..So even by your own admission ..He is making GOOD MONEY .. But yet can't even afford his own place...
    I have no problem with someone wanting to make MORE, But to say your single living at mommies house making $550 a week and you can't make it . is a joke.. unless your out buying unneeded things like (New Vehicles) you can't afford, putting yourself in debt beyond you means and such .. just shows me He is 21 and lacks responsibility... Not someone I would want to hire.. IMHO...

    I agree with this,If you're not making at least a $1000/week you're working for the wrong company.
    Even if you are home every night,still not making enough.

    10.50/hour? You can make that driving a straight truck.

    I know people will say it depends on where you live and all that jazz,but know what you're worth and go after it.

    I like things. And I don't mind working for them. And it sounds like neither does he. Not everyone wants to live with nothing.

    Well I had just turned 21 and yes I live my mommy and daddy lol I don't work there no more so I'm not making 550 a week any more I make anywhere between 900 and 1300 a week after taxes and benifits and depending on the routes I get for the week plus I got the teamsters backing local 710 and I'm now 22 and a half if that is what someone living with momy and daddy would say

    I don't think you can read to well and jump to conclusions and also pick fights with everyone you talk to he makes 550 a week after taxes he probibly is making 370 a week that isn't that much money and his spending is none of your concern what do you spend your money on lot lizards?

    First off let me say this. Cell phone payment $120, car insurance $100, gas...varies, food and other expenses such as oil changes and clothes. And this guy thinks I can afford a $500 house payment. No way. He must be a guy with no ambition.
