[quote=sdrealtor]Cmon UR you know how ridiculous that is. We dont get pensions or any benefits. If we dont make it happen we could work 168 hours a week and not make a penny.
These are both regular employees not particularly high level ones. They dont work massive overtime like some have suggested. They are just regular folks taking home money that 99% of this country only dreams of. And when they retire at a nice young age they will collect pensions for likely 20 to 40 years of close to 200K a year. Do you have that to look forward to?[/quote]
Huh??? Weren’t you the one complaining about your 15% SS contribution?
There is no difference between your SS benefits and a public employee’s pension benefits.
Not only that, but the government passes laws (written by NAR) that ban anyone who is not a “real estate agent” (or an attorney) from getting a commission in a RE deal. You don’t think that’s subsidizing your income?
You can also have times when you work 20 hours pushing paper around and make $10K+++.
