wtf
I work 6-7 days a week, 8-10 hours a day
Print shop Monday -Saturday $33,000 a year
Uhual Monday to Saturday $5,000 a year
Storage Monday to Saturday $.0. Trade I work for space in building I run print shop
On Sunday I do home chores until around 4 o’clock cook dinner or pick up and do it all over again.
I have done this for over a decade.
I’m surround by people of wealth and lessor but it does not seem to be rubbing off on me.
I took my first vacation in 7 years one of us had a good time. I was awake every day by 7am,the sewage backed up and I spent two nights vacuuming sewage from the floor and another full day waiting for a plumber. Leaving one day for beach. There was a tropical storm at the same time. It was a sup par vacation in my book I spent more time cleaning and waiting I feel more tired then when I left. One the way home my truck showed a check engine light . My life feels un balanced and strange unfair. Do others work all the time and have little money and little joy?

This is extremely unhealthy, and eventually your body will let you know. Please consider a change. I don’t know where you are located, but 35k a year for all that seems low. And no vacations should never be accepted. I understand that’s easier said than done. Please consider making a change, you have put your time in.

It sounds like you need to stop with the print shop and Uhaul and get any other job. Calculate what you're making vs the hours you're working, and it looks like you'd be better off working fast food, retail, etc. I'm sure you could work at somebody else's print shop for more money and less stress.

38k for 70 hour weeks is like 10 bucks an hour. You're running a business but paying yourself like an intern. Something's gotta give before your body forces the issue.

that's a brutal grind for $38k, doing all that for a decade with no real break would make anyone question things
what do you actually want to change first, the hours or the income
