LOL PJ is very knowledgeable in many different and well diverse areas and I don't think he truly knows that not everyone knows that much about all those things. It might seem quite simple to him, but for some of us that have never done it before it is so foreign.
Selling on eBay seems so simple but the postage is a pain in the butt and not having all the boxes actually at the post office and having to special order them, what on earth. And there are commercial prices and now changes in the distance and weight even more than before. There are so many fees.
Car stuff *I have to laugh* I could if I knew what I was doing, but I too had a father that has no clue about cars. He could probably build anything I wanted or at least have the knowledge too, but I didn't get that passed on to me either. I am like free labor. I want to learn and my life goal is to have a life partner that will be able to do those things with me and if they could foot half of the bill even better.
I have worked in different areas of my profession and we will just say I am an essential worker that, is trying to work towards having more control of my schedule sooner than later in my life. I like my job, but in moderations and feel I am not 100% that job, but I 100% want to continue doing it just not as primary work. I am looking to diverse myself depending on where my life decides to take me and what might happen in the future. I would love to get to the point that I could just be sustainable with already made income and then branch off into other things that could later lead into possible income streams.
I think I am good at looking up and sometimes getting deals. I can definitely be assertive and stand my ground and back off if I need to. I think I am decent at finances, but most of it has been self-taught by reading, researching, and questioning a lot of things, so I am still consistently learning in that area. I have never truly had many good examples that freely want to discuss money situations, but I do seem to have lots of family and friends ask me about things, so I feel that is something if they think I have done well for myself in life, to ask.
Speaking of getting deals, looks like we will be needing a new Menards post this week when they finally abandon the 11% marathon.
