IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE:
I'm a lucky guy. I have a wife that I'm crazy about, a couple great and healthy kids, and enough financial security that I could endure this. Many people are in way worse sorts than I am, and I know that. I'm not without empathy, but I most certainly love to bitch.

I am currently working TWO (2) full time jobs and being paid for three-quarters of one. The company I'd worked with for seven years ran out of money in August, with countless promises that we had money coming in. Countless. I was the VP of Product Development for the company, which boils down to me being the face of the company to every sales outlet we had. They begged me to stay, help them and that I'd be paid back and we'd make a fortune (based on bonuses in my contract, if we got financing to go commercial, I was due an annual bonus 3X my "pretty good" salary).

Fast forward 5 months without pay, and my checking was dwindling down. I took a job in sales as a "side gig", which for those of you in sales may laugh to read. It is an endless job, and I started from a dead start with no leads, so sales bonuses will be slow to arrive. Long story, I went from working 45 hours a week for "100" dollars to working 80 hours a week for "60" dollars.
