what do you do for work?
after reading about how much people spend a month on toys i got to wondering.. what the fuck do you people do for work to afford these habits... or is it just credit card debt being accumulated?
i have a decent gig as a senior art director at a small design agency and i can barely afford my habit.

Writer for an ad agency. Paid okay, but I don't buy that much these days. I got a new kitchen to save for. Rainy Day or nothing for me at the moment. Keeps me in check.

Given how much time people spend up here, I'm amazed that people actually hold jobs and get paid salaries. hahaha.

I'm a technical writer for a software company. I don't buy as much as I used to a few years ago, and I make more now than then, so the habit is manageable.

skylar made this thread a long time ago too, so if you search, people probably already posted there.

i am a recruiter for a staffing agency. basically, i find people for short term or temp to perm jobs. the base sucks, but i can get a bonus, they just make it near impossible to do. this month though, the bonus should pay for my flight to & from california. the money spent at super7 though, that's coming out of the regular salary.
