Something's Gonna Change

Jaremy's job has been insane.  He works around the clock.  Even when he is home his mind isn't. Even if they were paying him what we need it wouldn't be worth it because of the hours and stress. But he is getting paid squat.  I understand it is a small company, but he can't afford to work like a mad man just to be nice.  So we are going to start looking for other jobs.  Hopefully, GoalZero will be able to afford to keep him.  We need a dramatic, huge salary increase.  If not we will find some business that can afford him.  We are willing to move about anywhere, so that will increase our job market opportunities.  Or maybe Jaremy can get a low stress, 40 hour job for the same pay he is getting now.  If we worked 2 of those he would still be working less hours than now and would be getting paid double.  That's about how much of an increase we are looking for.  Or he could work one normal job and run his own business on the side.  Either way, less hours, tons more money.  But we are going to be patient with his current job.  He enjoys the responsibility and challenge.  So hopefully, within a month they will say we are doubling your pay.  That's only fair!  They have doubled the stress, work load, leadership, and responsibility.  And Jaremy has made and is making tons of money for the company!!!  It's only fair!  I know they are in a tight spot financially, but it they don't start coming through financially for their employees all the good ones are going to be forced to leave.  You can't feed your family today on future salary increases or hopes and dreams.  I don't know how to cut back any further on the budget.  We don't go anywhere, we live in the cheapest house in the valley (but I love my little cottage!), we make our own food, grow our own garden, save up to buy clothes at the D.I., we drive paid-off, old vehicles, we don't go to the movies, or anything.  We can't afford missions, braces, educations, home repairs, vehicle maintenance, etc.  Jaremy is not only stressed about work, but our finances.  It's wearing on all of us.  So something's gonna change!  It has to!
