How did Hank support his family by working at a propane dealership?
Cost of living in rural parts of Texas is small.
thee oil business is loaded, you can make a lot of cash working for them. MY exgf family lived in midland tx and every single family there had a new house and pickup truck and hundreds of grand a year with no education. It was pretty nice actually.

This, basically. Also, in the more out of the way places in rural America having propane is cheaper for heating and cooking than electric.

Bill Strickland uses Hank as his errand boy from time to time, I'm sure some extra pay is devoted to that

Bill seems like the kind of guy that would underpay Hank if he could get away with it but I'm sure Propane finance is just as important as knowledge on its chemical structure and maintenance
Careful budgeting and not being a consumerist.
Dual income family as well.
Probably got his house when the prices weren't absurd.
He probably gets bonus' from selling as well, and it's not like you have to pay for heating and shit in Texas for most of the year.

>tfw piped in natural gas everywhere including the grill
>tfw never a propane tank
Surprised they didn't do an episode about Hank fighting with someone using natural gas this way
most american families are poor as fuck, live in cheap as shit houses in the middle of nowhere and feed themselves with poorfag processed shit.
perfectly realistic.

He mowed lawns on the side.
Cost of living is pretty cheap in Texas. Peggy has some odd jobs, primarily she's a substitue teacher but she was also selling houses and writing for some newspaper. Hank also was asst manager and pretty much ran the business. Buck had a couple different Strickland Propanes and he partied a lot so Hank probably got paid well because he did most the work.
On the other hand, we know that the main bread-winner of the Gribble household was Nancy, being a weather presenter.

Because it was the 90s/early 2000s and you could support your family with a lower management/dealership job back then.
