stoneycase 0 #4 September 12, 2006 7 months and counting I just don't have the money, and I wonder where everyone else seems to find it. Travel, Gas, Gear, Jumps, Coaching...I don't have the $ for any of it. Seems like every month I read another letter in the Parachutist about someone else dropping due to cost. I keep telling myself as long as I pay for the membership, take care of my gear, and genuinely want to come back - I'll get back in the air, someday. As for the near term, I work M-F and often on the weekends. I don't see anything in my future other than work (and again, I wonder how others seem to have countless hours to spend at the DZ) Good luck to you Grue, but I'd take 73 days over my 7 months in a heartbeat.Does whisky count as beer? - Homer There's no justice like angry mob justice. - Skinner Be careful. There's a limited future in low pulls - JohnMitchell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elisha 1 #23 September 12, 2006 I'm sure you find SOME job that paid enough and with a reasonable enough rent....you could rent a room from someone for less than $700/month SOMEWHERE in NorCal (Bay Area harder, but still possible). You're just not trying hard enough. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're just not trying hard enough. It's very difficult to get a job in California from Iowa, and unless someone's willing to lend me, oh, $5k to cover my moving and living expenses while I look for a job... Anyway, it's only 6-10 weeks until I move back to Australia, where I'll have a PAC an hour away. On the down side, I have to buy a fucking AAD now.cavete terrae.
