I painted cars in a body shop as a fulltime job. when I got married and had a kid on the way, I needed to work at my LFS nites and weekends to help support my hobby/addiction. a part of my life I wouldn't change. I miss those good ole days
I am very close to applying at my lfs during the winter months (slow season) as part time , more to learn than for the $. But I have a sneaky suspicion I will end up spending more than I make if I do it.

This is only the nice bunch. We burnt plenty of useless woodI have moved more pallets than I care to recall, but have never seen any made from wood in as good of condition as yours. lol
That's great, unfortunately manual labour is super cheap here so I don't stand much chance!I used to mow lawns and work at sears. Now I have a regular job and that supports me.
Sneaky, but effective! Now I have to write you up for illicit dealingsWhen I was your age I convinced the owner of a pet department to hire me. I got paid under the table due to not being old enough to be hired legally. I would get fish food and live fish at a very cheap cost.
If it works I guessDrugs and and collect cans
How much do you get from your trading? It would be great to have a sustainable tanks!I work a regular job to pay bills but often trade fish I raise to my lfs for food and equipment
That's great to hear, well done manI came from a humble beginning, so did not have much in terms of material things. Now that I have a profession and a healthy income, I'm catching up on what I didn't have as a kid. I am grateful I grew up as I did, because I appreciate everything I now have.
Thanks! I'm assuming cichlid fry?Those planters look great!
Selling fry has been a small part of funding my hobby.

AwesomeMy career paid for the majority, I did do some extra consultant work when I was building my warehouse though.
That is so cool. I want to do something like that some dayHendre

I’ve never kept up with it. I raise Electric Blue Acara, Albino Bristle Nose plecos, a few different Cory cats and Marble Angel.
These all sell well.
I am a trusted regular at my lfs.
I drop off fish and plants about twice a month.
I never take payment.
But, anytime I get food they don’t make me pay.
And any special order fish I want I get for their cost. So I have a pretty sweet deal.
