Working for minimum wage sucks.

Large, I just ordered a new visor for my old mainframe helmet.

I'll check out my extra helmets

A place called Gators Dockside, ITs kinda like a sports bar, and only girls are servers, the only step up for me is to become a cook.

Sounds like my kind of joint!  But, sounds inherently limiting for you.

Any white table cloth restaurants in your area?   Polish it up and step outside your comfort level.

Alright sick.

I have so much I want to buy, including new arrow exhaust, paint job, new sprocket (and chain) and other little goodies but I never have enough money!

I would add a jacket and pants to the list. Gear first!

I've got a size (M) Joe Rocket textile jacket that I barely wore.  If it will fit, I will ship. Looks like this - http://www.joerocket.com/catalog/index.cfm/236/419/Textile_Jackets/UFO_Solid_[textile_/_bigair]

I know how those sizes work 43 fits me fine and I could use something other than old combat boots.

43 = 9'ish

Give a man a fish............

j/k everyone.

This is why I love this board. The guys not asking for anything and the board members aren't waiting to be pandered to.

I remember making $4.15 an hour, yep, minimum wage sucks. Keep your eye on the prize. Make a 5 year goal and do what you have to and get there. Once you achieve your 5 year goal, make another, and another and another. Wash rinse and repeat your success good sir.

I'm sure many of the late 20 and older members of this board know what it is to have to scratch your way to a decent living. I know I do. Like everyone else has mentioned, WORK HARD. Just don't forget to make a clear goal as to what your working towards.

Today I'm in a great job with great pay. It did require a lot of sacrifice to get here and still requires a lot of work. Definitely still climbing, and yes, towards my next 5 year goal.

Sounds like you have new gear coming your way. What tools do you have for regular bike maintenance? I have a few extra sets of allen wrenches and other goodies.
Save a few bucks by doing your own wrenching.

Trust me, the higher you move up and more money you make, you will have more stuff to drain your money.  It will be (not in particular order) car, GF/Wife, house, kid(s), bigger toys, family, unexpected events, vacation, etc.  With the extra money I have left for anything else, I feel like I am on minimum wages.  I guess that's life.   

[spolic]

^ Yup. Seems like the more you make the bigger your bills get.  Also the older your kids get, the more expensive toys they want.  On the Top Ten kids Santa list is an I-pad.  Geez.

I hate to quote a Sheryl Crow song but "It's not having what you want it's wanting what you've got."
