averaging about$100 dollars is good money, i don't make that much,..i didn't look at wher you are living, but if you can't lift on almost $500 a week, i don't think you are living within your means...(no offence)
now to answer ceya's question
i love being a messenger. i like the cold days, i make plenty of money. some days are frustrating, but as with any job. i like the comradery and bike talk (bike nerd) i don't know. it just makes me happy. and that is something that a lot of people with there jobs...i don't really care for fridays, when everyone in elevators is like ""whoo! FRIDAY!" it's sad, really. oh well. do what makes you happy.
