No need to feel ashamed. You're employed and taking care of business. What I make is a pittance compared to many people.

I make almost twice minimum wage.... and it's a lot cheaper to live here, about half the cost of living compared with big cities up north. I don't think it's so bad. Sure, before the economic bust I was making $40k, but that job disappeared along with millions of others. I am very thankful to have a job and proud of what I earn. It gives me a sweet car, fuel for it, food in my belly, beer in my hand and a few little luxuries. That's enough for me.

I'm going to make $34k less this year than last due to no OT this year and the fact that my annual bonus was smaller. We've been much slower the past year than the previous 5, and I'm hoping it picks up soon.
