Holy wow, where are you located if you don't mind me asking? My dad lays carpet and makes like 35k a year.

Does your dad work for himself or someone else? If he works for himself I don't know how he's only making 35k lol. I live in Western New York though (no where near NYC)

Works for himself. But we live in Iowa so it isn't quite as bad of a salary as it sounds. Still not great though
