gontleman 0 #1 February 10, 2007 start my training in June. Another 20 hours per week for the next 2 months will let me essentially pay for my entire IAD course in cash and (weather permitting) complete it in 1 month. I'm insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jjiimmyyt 0 #3 February 10, 2007 Fuck it mate, you are doing a shitty job to earn some cash so you can jump. Well done "This isn't an iron lung, people. You can actually disconnect and not die." -Dave Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
masterrig 1 #4 February 10, 2007 Good for you! That shows determination and drive. There's nothing wrong with what you are doing. In this day and age, it's rather admirable. All the best to you. chuck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gontleman 0 #7 February 10, 2007 QuoteBut do you have health insurance? I've been working for a company under a temp agency for the past 3 months. I will actually be employed by the company this month and that will start the 3 month countdown until I have insurance again. When I've had the option for insurance... I've always had it.

Then you can get a credit card/s and pay for your rig My car is paid off March 15th, then I will use the 2nd job for the 2 months following plus my former car payment will pay off my credit card... then I'll use the credit card to start the training and the money I make from week to week will pretty much enable me to spend all weekend every weekend at the DZ unti I'm licensed. EDIT: As far as my rig is concerned.... if i don't get a card with a higher limit than 1k (I have very little credit history) I'lll probably have to see about taking out a new loan either with prosper.com or through a very nice bank.

Scoop 0 #9 February 10, 2007 Sounds like a plan. My training and new equipment buy was a struggle. But I managed to do it all with overtime and therefore cash. Good luck with your progress and keep us all updated Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites snowslider 0 #10 February 10, 2007 good for you. when I was doing my AFF there were a couple of youngers guys like myself that were just off ofstudent status and next thing I knew they had nice new rigs, jumpsuits, fancy helmets and electrionic alt. I must say I was so envious. I wanted that bad but I couldn't afford it, It was a big motivating factor though, I picked up extra shifts and did as much work as possible for about three months. I just though about how stoked I would be when I had all my own gear and can jump whenever I have an extra $20 or so. This year is going to be great! YOu should also keep your eye open for jobs waiting tables at nicer resturants and maybe even try and work your way in a barback so that you can become a bartender. The money is better, quicker and the job itself is a little less demeaning (sp?) Good Luck man, your hard work will pay off in the long run! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jm951 0 #11 February 10, 2007 Looks like I'll be employed again soon as well. Time to deal with some of the problems that piled up and get back to working on that A!!! Also, soccer season starts back up too. Calling club and high school matches pay decent and tournaments are great icing on the cake. Possibly a rig by summer?
