Life is tough. Where do you draw strength from?

Experience. When you've spent so much of your life carrying the burdens alone, you become used to it. It's like working out. The more often you have to be strong, the easier it is to find strength

Idk.

I like to emulate lebanese gangstas and I pretend my job is a prison and that everything I do is just my way of coping of being in that prison.

I'm trapped in a confined area in very hot conditions melting metal all day. And since my coworkers are other immigrants (mostly Hispanic). I pretend we are all just incarcerated and that I'm serving a 30 year sentence for doing something thug. Thats how i make it through the painful heat and working long hours (at minimum 12 hours a day 6 days a week).

We are paid overtime and our horly rate is huge since its the most dangerous job the company has.

I make between 67-68k a year. Which is more that last year since i was promoted into a supervisory position.

It's nice because no women do this job so it's easier to pretend i am in prison. And i dont have much freetime because im working so much.

I'm hoping to save up enough money so i can just buy a girl from my home country when I'm like 50. Im just worried because even though ive saved up a lot inflation seems to make whatever i have worthless. I'll probably have to buy assests but i just like having money in the bank instead buying stupid shyt i dont neeed with it.

Definitely hope i can do the whole buying a wife thing. This guy I'm buddies with just did it. He's 53 and saved up enough money and got himself a 20 year old wife from Yemen.

Its all about those dollar bills. He's like 5'4 and bald and he was able to just buy a hot young wife. I plan on doing the same. But i honestly dont plan on waiting for 53 lol
