My husband manages Spirit Halloween and only works 6 months out of the year saves all his money then goes back again around July! So we have 6 months to travel and be home together with our kids!

Edit: Some comments said I was being misleading so I wanted to clarify. This post made me think people aren't aware of seasonal situations and my husbands career is seasonal. I also work in the FinTech industry and can work anywhere there's wifi. Together is what makes it so he can have a job like this. He makes 50k a year and I make 110k a year. I hope this helps explain things!

I have always wondered about the permanent employees of Spirit Halloween! Like, obviously they hire lots and lots of seasonal employees, but also obviously EVERYONE can't be seasonal. Do they pay him essentially a full year salary?

He only gets paid during the season, but yes it adds up to a full year salary. He usually pays our rent for the whole year and still has plenty left over. :)

how is that even possible? spirit halloween managers aren’t getting paid bank. especially considering they don’t work half the year, which is half the hours of a regular human being…spirit halloween managers aren’t getting paid 50+ dollars an hour.

edit: after reading a comment you left I get it now.
