Do you work for a non-profit organization?

What is it like? Do you enjoy yourselves? Do you feel like you make enough money? Do you have children? Do you feel like you can support children on non-profit salary?

I used 2 work for a npo and it was tough to support my own self on the salary and when the finances got tough, they would send you an iou for your paycheck.

I did enjoy it tho. The feeling of servicing society.

Omg for real? How long had they been established?

Decades. Its just how some npo's operate financially.

True. It's not worth it unless you do it because of passion

One of my clients runs a non profit. She spent 54k on her backyard, custom BBQ/bar, fire pit, fountain, large entertaining patio.

I'd say she's doing pretty well for herself.

Oh and she has 2 kids she's putting through college as a single mom.

She renovated the kitchen around the same time I did her landscape.

Yeah but she's the boss. How much do her employees make?

I have no idea.

Not even sure if she has employees or any details about her business. I just know what she shared with me. And she added me to her emailing list so I get updates off and on.

She did mention to me that she was going to write off part of the renovation as a business expense as she would be able to entertain sponsors there.

I work for a nonprofit and most of my adult career has been in this sector. I can support myself, own a home, travel the world. I get to do fulfilling work that changes our world and live a pretty good life at the same time. It's awesome!
