I build power lines and work 80+ hours a week for years. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the last 15 years and working double what a normal work week is has allowed me to have some pins and take care of society and my family. I also do all my own repairs which saves a lot and my interest have changed to older games that are more affordable. If I could ever get out of paying taxes I could afford at least 10 new games a year even JJP pins. Don't go on vacations and don't eat out and you will have more money than you would think. Don't police officers still get free food these days.

No college debts when you work in the trades.

I think the number one thing I'm seeing here is that people work their ass off to afford their pins. I see lots of overtime, side jobs, pin repairs and flipping. College no college this seems to be true of all stories. Funny fact an In & Out burger manager makes 160k a year. Work hard, play hard, and try to enjoy your life.

Just like I was saying pins and jobs and money just don't fall into your lap. Desire and a good work ethic and taking advantage of opportunities is the way. PS love your story

You can't always believe what you read. A college does research to say if you go to college you'll make more money. My meth dealer told me that meth is not addictive. Silly yes but the same. Colleges want your money and so does the government, and meth dealers. Best thing is to find something you like or can tolerate and make as much as possible for as little start up as possible.

Don't get me wrong no path is better than the other and neither makes a person better or less than. I would like to see attached to that survey the debt to income ratio. I personally feel that the government with their loan programs and every job these days requiring an associate degree for entry level jobs all is a scam forced on the American public. I could be right I could be wrong or I just need some new tinfoil for my hat.

Whatever one does that video just goes to prove that pinball and arcade collectors are the coolest people ever.
