It's my birthday so my wife bought me scallops for dinner because she knows it's my favorite. Of course she doesn't know how to cook them and cannot be trusted around cast iron or carbon steel pans so here I am cooking my own birthday dinner. Apple pie for dessert.

Sounds like my wife. Don’t even let her look at the cast iron pans.

I was born in 1956.....graduated HS and started running heavy equipment (Operating Engineers), but decided that wasn't a career move. Started a career, got married, looked at houses and was amazed at the $$$ for what we were getting. SO, I decided to build my own house, figuring I could get twice, or triple the house, for the same amount of $$$. Found some property, designed and drew the blue prints up, and started building. Remember, I was working 40-50 hrs/week AND building a house on my weekends. Decided to save $$$ by building the garage first and setting it up like a studio....we lived in that 3+ yrs while I finished the 1st floor. We moved into the house (1st floor) while I finished the 2nd floor. 2150 sq. ft, split level....I did everything but the sheetrock/texturing and the cabinets. Got it totally finished 7 yrs later. The reason for this story? AFTER I finished the house, several guys I worked with commented on how nice it was to 'have money' to afford something like what I was living in, conveniently forgetting I BUILT it! Told them to go fuck themselves. They said I was an asshole! No one decided to do it my way.....they just wanted to bellyache, bitch, moan, whine, complain about NOT having what I had.

My point.....

There will always be "those guy's". It will always be about your nice truck, boat, rifle, fishing rod, etc.
Never become "those guy's".... It shows class.

I made more then that stocking grocery shelves
$10.06 x 40 X 52 = 20K+ not including holiday, overtime, or overnight differential. bonuses. And that was while I was in collage (1975-79}. I made about $9 while in high school. I took home more than my high school counselors wiho had masters degrees.

I have to throw the challenge flag on this one. Who paid 5X the minimum wage to stock groceries in the mid-70's? Minimum wage was $2.10 in '73 and $2.90 in '79. Did your dad own the store?

You know it's bullshit. I know it's bullshit. Economics says it's bullshit. We all know that it is bullshit. But it's his fantasy world and he can live it however he wants.
The local down syndrome boy is making more than people with masters degrees for stocking the shelves. Wouldn't that have everyone in town standing in line for the job? Which would drive down the hourly rate because you have an excess of labor.
