By living in a country superior to America.
By not living in America so I'm not bankrupted by doctor or hospital appointments
Otherwise I kind of don't
only pay for hardware and never for software
It's simple
just eat nothing but beans and rice for every meal and you'll save loads of money.
>go to college
>get good job
It's that simple.
I live with my parents and invest 95 percent of my money.
By joining the #YangGang and getting a sweet $12,000 a year to spend on vidya.
When I start living on my own I plan to do the rice and bean diet.
Wait for sales mostly. Also living with parents helps. I would be extremely poor if I moved out on my own.
I prefer beans and cornbread

Why does she not have any weights on the left side...?
I didn't fall for the college meme, and dicked around helping people out along the way until I made enough connections to get a good job.
Now I literally manage an entire team of people below me that all have their masters making about twice as much as all of them.
Secrets of success kids; don't be a dick and don't get into debt. If someone tries telling you you need to take on debt to get ahead, turn and walk the other way.
perhaps the same could be said of every threads

78% of people live paycheck to paycheck because they live beyond their means rather than saving for rainy days.
I'm only here for the gamer fuel threads and discuss food.
Just manage your money well, don't make impulse purchases, get a good job, and save money and you'll be fine.

I'm a PC fag so I'm spoiled by Steam and key seller sites. I have no idea how console fags manage though.
no idea random pic I saved... guessing she is just posing for camera shots. Smith machine is dumb either way.
what's your gamer fuel, user?
I work 40 hours a week several dollars above minimum wage
With Yang I could in theory quit my job and have roughly the same amount of money just and live a similar lifestyle just from the amount of money I would save in having to buy gas going to work and from not buying fast food since I'll have more time to cook at home
This to be honest
If you are poor, you most likely deserved it. This is a fact. Straighten up and fly right.
Max Roth. Contribute more to 401k. If that's maxed then look into real estate or to up your money in long term stocks with dividends
Drop the donations and groceries, raise the dining out, internet, and rent and you've got my bills.
If you rent a room you can get it that low.
>100k
>$825 rent anywhere not a shithole
>$615 donations

Holy shit this is the most horseshit chart I have ever seen. The rent is a blatant lie, and the rest you could easily cut in half and Donations needs to be taken out completely. What in the fuck.
Yes until a fiscally conservative grocery trip costs you $500 (which it would thanks to inflation.)
I bought chainlink back at 25 cents besides that I put my money in iron mountain and AT&T using a DRIP to reinvest the dividends into more dividends.
by living within my means
I eat dicks.
I make 6k a year being NEET, 100% is spent on clothes, games, and drugs. No bills, no debt. Just money to blow
You're middle class right Yea Forums?
Who the fuck is making 100k a year and renting a room? Get real.
>wasting money on games at all
lmaooo
I love beans and cornbread, there ain't nothin wrong with beans and cornbread.
Remember that if you match taxes and spending then there won't be any inflation.
>utilities: $195
>house cleaner: $30

I pay just under 1k a month and my apt is huge
by not living on shitholes like california, san francisco, new york, etc
It's CNBC what do you expect? Literally the epitome of liberals that live cushy lives propped up by their parents.
the japanese government pays me to study
Remember that $1000 a month for every American would cost three trillion nine hundred twenty-six billion four hundred million dollars annually.
I sell dope, and you should too.
In SF you legit wouldn’t even get a closet for anything under 1k a month
If he’s making 100k a year it isn’t in some Midwest location

You're in a bad state, yankee
You don't have infrastructure, redneck.
Renting is more flexible and cheaper if housing is crazy.
I pay
I've been bedridden for the past 6 months, and just three months ago I discovered QuickThoughts. It's a survey app that pays you $2 for surveys you answer correctly/complete. I've been able to buy myself a Switch, and $250~ in video games in that three month period.
FYI: Not everyone has the same experience with the app. Some surveys will pay $1. Or they'll ban you shortly after you make an account.
Bennies and piratefagging everything possible
I set aside $50 per paycheck to spend on whatever I want, then use it all to buy used games every time.
Some pretty great PS3 games literally cost a few dollars these days, and even PS4 has some nice cheapies.
Honestly, I only buy brand new games at full price when I'm really excited. RE2 was the first new game I bought since 2016.
Military spends more than that on one plane
What do you mean "helping people out"?
Yes I do. (:
Which isn't actually that much considering just CA alone is more economically powerful than some countries, and given how much we waste on pointless shit.
Pirate literally everything
The only way I can see this is if this dude in the chart owns a house and is renting out other sections of it to pay the mortgage, and counting what he pays as "rent". Probably let's them have Utilities come included, but has them co-op the internet so he can leech off of that for fiber speeds. House cleaner is obviously too keep the whole place in order.
That said, this whole shit is stupide as fuck. If you are making 100k in your 20's right now, you are literally in the top 5-10% of your demographic.
By being a slav and pirating all the shit i want.
Wouldn't be a problem if corporations actually paid taxes instead of hoarding it all in offshore accounts.
You can't expect news outlets to report accurately on vidya, why should anyone trust them on reporting news?
Why did they fuck everything up?
>get IT certs
>get paid fat stacks of cash to spend 5 minutes each day reviewing logs and the rest of the 8 hour shift shitposting/vidya

I'm one of the 22% who has an actual job.
I was looking into doing just that.
What cert?
Huh?
I mean I would go out of my way to help someone out if they needed a hand. That person goes on to work some place. That place needs people. That person refers me. I get the job with no interview because this guy knows me.
And that's how I got a 70k job with full benefits, work from home days and unlimited vacation, literally 5 minutes from where I live with absolutely 0 education.
Oh and I'm up for a promotion in 2 months.
>mfw every time I tell one of my employees that I never went to college after they get talking about their experience at whatever prissy ivy-league school they went to and are complaining about how hard it is to survive
what certs, how long did it take you, and who hired you?
plz respond
over like 35 fucking years on literally everything, the F-16 cost more
I pay $800/m for rent. Not everyone lives in California or New York. Move to the midwest. Lots of great medium sized cities that are large enough to still have nice things but with a much more reasonable cost of living. That said, I still can't afford an actual house here. One problem with the midwest is that while a $400,000 home here is practically a mansion, that's all they ever seem to build. I go house hunting and there are just tons of these massive homes for sale while the nice $200k ones are already under contract 1 day after going on the market or they are shitholes that will never sell for that much. Whenever I drive by new homes being built, it's always the mansions. I never seen small to medium sized homes being built.
>literally believing the opposite of the truth
Got a good paying job out of college and no debt
Degrees have been a meme since 2008. Employers only trust certs since you have to actually know your shit to get them. You can practically sleep through college and get a fancy paper.
I can never figure out how this cert shit works. Is it a test you take and a company gives you a diploma if you pass? Are there any resources to help you pass or do you just gotta learn that shit yourself?
>be an outsource worker
>live in a shithole
>earn 5 salaries a month
>region prices are $20 for a new game in steam
also never buy shit unless you need to or the game is unplayable without purchasing (multipalyer), you can always spend money on your mom instead of paying for SJW garbage

The thing that pisses me off the most about boomers isn't that they spent so much resources its that they can't even afford to pay back one percent of the money they stole. They didn't ruin things for a good reason, they ruined things for no reason.
>I have no idea how console fags manage though.
PS4 has 2 games. Bloodborne and Odin Sphere Leifthraiser. Everything else is just literally not worth it, or it also has a PC version which plays better and you'll get cheaper.
XBone is the same thing without the exclusives.
Switch + PC master race, and Switch is mostly like 5-10 exclusives, and then the ultimate question of "Do I want this game on PC, or do I think this should be portable?"

it's easy to afford gaming since absolutely nothing since 2004 has been worth paying for
Pretty much. Learn how to cook, don't spend money on weekly parties at the club, and don't have kids unless you can afford it.
then why do employers ask for educational history and expect at minimum a bachelor's?
t.Floridafag
There's no certs for programming lmao.
I don't buy any games unless they are 70% off retail and I play on pc the only other cost is the computer. last one I built lasted me nearly a decade
Are you from Innsmouth, user?
The only left over money I have is literally just for food and gaming

Sec+, CCNA.
Two weeks for the CCNA, a month for the Sec+. The DoD requires Sec+ for contracts, and CCNA lets you get into stuff that plays with networking, though that's optional. Those two are the bare minimum to get a 70k starting contract, but they're also piss easy to pass.
Truly, I pity the college loan kids who wasted 4+ years of their lives.
You live in buttfuck nowhere. No good jobs are there too. Fuck off.

Also no earthquakes or yearly fires that threaten to burn down everything. We do get some tornados in the Panhandle though, and the occasional hurricane on the coast.
Hopefully you can get his inheritence at some point.
Don't count on it given how much a wealthy boomer grandparent can fuck you around
I don't live in America and I don't have a mcburger job so I can afford rent car and all the vidya I want.
That's being a good person but mostly luck.
There are, but they're useless since the US is outsourcing all programmers. Pivot to security and/or networking and you'll have contractors begging you to work for them.
>Degrees have been a meme since 2008
This is sadly true. My university had remedial classes so they could give literal retards degrees. They're basically making university highschool 2.0.
That's cool. I'm terrible at networking, so that'll never happen for me.
fuck, the only cool t shirt there is bottom left.
I don't. I bought a Switch back in November just for Smash Bros. Ultimate, and that's the only game I have on it. Outside of that, I haven't bought a game in a year.
I've never met or seen anyone with a programming cert at tech company.
Everyone has bachelors from top program for most part.
Fling bants right back at him, you ninny. If he makes fun of your career, just joke about how you at least don’t need to worry about paying for children, on account of how expensive they are. Really rub it in how much the current economic climate sucks.
Enjoy your broomcloset with roommates on a six figure salary while I can have a real house to myself on 50k USD.
And he's probably too stupid to realize his generation were the ones who sold everyone else out.
I'm self employed and run my own business.
I also try to not buy games when they come out anymore. It's really liberating when you realize you don't need shit the day it comes out.
>Making
College and university IS middle school 2.0.
I don't pay for singleplayer games, I have very little interest in multiplayer games and I don't play games that run on subscription services unless there's a viable in-game currency alternative like in OSRS, can get a month's sub in that game by playing for like 4 hours on an endgame account. I don't update my hardware unless games become literally unplayable, sure I can't circlejerk with other trustfund kids in those reddit-tier battlestation threads but that's a small price to pay to avoid paying an actual price.
>The rent is a blatant lie
It was his share of the rent. iirc, he was with 4 other guys. It's why the house cleaner was also only $30
I live in Canada and everything videogame related is 20 to 50 bucks more expensive than in the US. I have completely stopped buying anything for myself. I grew up around rich kids and they all perfect lives today. I think I'm goig to kill myself there is nothjing here.
>30 dollars for house cleaner.
Did CNBC accidentally forget that not everyone owns slaves?
You fucking study take a fucking test get a meme cert get rejected everywhere.
Not really; lot's of opportunities have come my way for doing shit like this. I used to get free pot for years because I helped out a guy who was a dealer get out a jam with some paperwork and the power of Photoshop.
He's moved to Colorado now and has his own farm to dispensery going now. He has offered me several times to come work for him.
Dude had really good weed too.
Networking is a meme. Just be a decent person, and shit will come your way.
Sure, but it's getting worse every year.
I don't even buy games anymore, man. I haven't bought shit new in a long time.

Yes, your one-off horseshit story makes much more sense than playing the odds and getting a degree.
Whoof. Guess what? I have a degree and a ballin' job, and I didn't have to do something fucking weird.
Literally all the programmers in my city are H1B poo-in-loos that are shipped over because they're cheaper and easier to train than hiring some snowflake who's fresh out of college and can't pass a fizzbuzz test in an interview. Cyber security isn't getting outsourced because guess what, it's security. Asking foreigners to hold the keys to your locks puts you on a fast pass for a CIA visit.
The fuck is an airpod.
That's why I said middle school. Highschool would at least imply some semblance of growth. I can't believe that I got lucky going to a community college.
No one would lie on the internet, that's ridiculous.
>ot really; lot's of opportunities have come my way for doing shit like this.
I never actually get asked to help with things even though I go out of my way to offer.
Only good post.
Gaming the Unemployment system. All I need do is fake in some interviews to prove I'm looking for work and I get on that sweet free cash. Going on 5 years now.
Living with other people is fucking awful. Really what you need to do is just stay away from anywhere with high real estate prices. Those places tend to suck ass if you aren't loaded and sometimes still suck ass if you are.

This pretty much. Does circumstance matter? Yes, but you can always change your standing in life to some degree.
I'm not, but if it makes you feel better to call me that, go right ahead.
Cool man. Hope you didn't have to take out any college loans to do it.
I mean are you offering when they actually need help?
Hey man, I have no reason to. Whether or not you believe me, I'll be here in my comfy studio apartment living peacefully. I simply have willpower and don't spend money on bullshit I don't really need
My mother had to move back in with me because she can't work, and its fucking awful. I would rather just have more money and be left the fuck alone.
Fuck roommates, I'll live in a closet by myself if I have to.

>My mother had to move back in with me because she can't work, and its fucking awful.
As cold as this sounds, why didn't you say no?
>I'm self employed and run my own business
I wish to possess your confidence. Give it to me.
>people actually take out college loans
The bar for financial aid is really low and it's easy to get a full ride. If you have to take on nearly 6 figures of debt then you shouldn't be going to university.
This. If you hire shit coders you'll have to end up paying more to hire someone that knows what the fuck they are doing and rewrite it.
>get CS degree with focus on programming
>all this russian collusion shit has everyone panicked and offering retarded salaries for any retard who gets their sec+

Are you willing to work up to $70 a week and be stressed out a lot?
67% of Americans are financially illiterate
>teach financial literacy and holy shit, the parents of these kids are fucking dumb
Its temporary because I'm moving soon and saves me money. If it was long term I probably would have just gouged my heart out and said no.
I'm doing pretty alright. But sometimes I wish I was a cute big titty and curvy goth girl that way I can just attract all the horny males into my patreon with my body since there's a bunch of those desperate fucks. And I wouldn't need to work for a long time and be a cute neet
>imagine not denying the person who took care of you for at least 18 years.
You can still be my cute neet :) Perhaps we can continue this conversation in a more private and intimate location(like your home).
>rugged individualist/strong woman
There's your mistake bro. Don't be helping women. Help men. Men will carry you way farther in your career development than a woman ever will or could.
Not telling you to go full MGTW but you should actually have more guy friends than gal pals if you want to succeed in life.
I'm already stressed. Bring me something to show for it.
Oh cool. I honestly don't what I'd do if I were presented with your choice and it was long term. I'd like to think my mother would never do that because her mother pulled the exact same thing after getting kicked out of her other two children's houses.
>$100k
Is this normal in America?
Point proven fucking immediately
That makes more sense. You would be living in a shithole at $800/mo. I pay $650 for my one bedroom place split with my girlfriend. It’s an old building, but well located, great natural light and has plenty of space.
No. try 40k.
Come to me little one.
No, median income for that age bracket is probably like 40k max.
Well then find something you can start and start it.
The best time to plant a tree is 22 years ago. The second best time is today.
It took me several years to get my business going, but I did get it going. Started with $500 into it altogether and I did $3000 in sales last just last friday.
That was 5 years ago I started and I've had to put thousands and thousands of hours into it. It takes effort to start shit and I'm nowhere near able to let up, so if you want to go for it, go for it.
Living with your parents is strictly a one way street, doubly so for the boomer faggots who destroyed our future.
>we need to ruin the housing market, flood our nation with hordes of illegals because muh feels, and take out insane student loans for entry level jobs because the illegals are taking all the trade jobs
God damn I hate boomers.
Putting 66% of your paycheck into savings seems like a lot. That internet price is straight up a lie
A 6 figure combined salary is considered to be the entry barrier to an upper-middle class family. If you're single and childless, you have have standard of living something like 50% better than you would if you're married.
It also depends on the state you live in. a six figure salary in New York means that you're still stuck living in an apartment, while out in the Midwest you can get yourself a real nice house, or even a McMansion.
That one got its numbers from somebody who has rich yuppie parents that he still leaches off of which is why it looks like all his costs are so damn low.
I'm fucking tired of shitald trump already
I didn't, but know this - you will always have your education. Money and material possessions come and go, but what you learn from higher educations is absolutely always yours. My job can become obsolete, my cash taken, my possessions sold or repossessed, but that which I gained from my education is a part of me. It will be there for every job, whether I start at the lowest or highest rung. Passing that off as a waste of money is truly short-sighted ignorance.
Listen, it's cool that you landed a gig by changing a tire, but you'd still be better off with an education, and statistically, so is everyone else. So much of what you learn can contribute to you and your success in such broad ways that it's not even funny. I'm not even "using" my degree, but what I've learned is in everything that i do.
Median household income for 1.5 working adults in the USA is 51,000 US/yr.
Single earners under 35 are averaged to below 30k/yr.

>"the hiring of a White House Psychologist to focus on mental health issues"
Dear god we need that.
Ever since I was a kid, I've waited on sales for vidya. I remember my parents got me the SNES on release day with F-Zero and I felt guilty because they had spent so much and it wasn't my birthday or anything.
I'll add on to that. Since his "Freedom Dividend" stacks with normal income, if you keep your job, you make EVEN MORE!
I could make $12/hr from Walgreens AND get $1k a month! That's roughly $3k for me!
You don’t make that money working for someone else. These are people who are driven to start their own businesses and want to work. I just want to play video games.
He means selling weed.
Man I'm so sick of CA taxes. They want more taxes and more. A water tax, a soda tax, a tire change tax, a firearm tax, an oil and gas tax, more city sales taxes.
FUCK
Any artists here? How have you been doing with/without schooling?
They have actual jobs too. Flaunt all you want but without minimum wagies, capitalism collapses.
Maybe those workers should work harder, get a 2nd job develop skills or start their own business. It isnt the government's job to provide for the citizens

Why the fuck..
Man I barely make enough as it is. Then I have to juggle CC debt and my massive student loans. I can't get ahead.
So what faghit? Who are you voting for? Who ever the dems worse will be some socialist who will just catch and release people. At least Trump isnt dping that
Come to Texas, just don't vote for the same fucktarded policies that ruined your state. There are already dumbasses in Austin that voted for all these nice programs, but then acted surprised when their taxes went up.
I don't hate Califags on principal, I hate it when they vote for the same dumb shit that made them leave California.
went to school for graphic design/illustration, transitioned to ux design. starting to do well for myself
Fucking this, it's less than tithing but more than you need to get the gubment off your back
Seriously though, why?
Better than any Democrat potential, or even Republican potential. A Trump replacement means no more Trump, but it also means just 4 years of mid 2000s Bush wannabe.
Because I own a grand piano and drums and apartments aren't very good for either of those things and I'm willing to pay. Also the idea was to find friends and rent out rooms/have them split the bill with me but I don't have friends and can't make more because autism
>2nd job
Do you mean a third job? Because AOC told me that nearly every American is already holding down 2 jobs, which is why the unemployment rate has been low recently.

This is where my money goes to. Pretty comfy life.
>I'm not even "using" my degree, but what I've learned is in everything that i do.
Great speech. Too bad none of it actually had any substance, or relevancy to reality. Having a degree doesn't make you anymore "educated" than anyone else. It just means you sat on your ass for hours on end, throwing money at a piece of paper that no one gives a shit about anymore.
Life and self interest will always teach you more than what a campus ever could. Literally everything can be learned from the internet these days, making college 100% obsolete.
FUCK OFF WE ARE FULL
Why are white people so broke lmao.

Did she SERIOUSLY say that fucking people holding multiple jobs accounts for the lower unemployment rate?
Are you fucking for real?
a...at the firm handshake store?
this fucking this
women have this weird expectation that if they need help every guy is absolutely grateful to be helping her out
most men are ungrateful shits like this as well but the percentage of men who will return the favour is magnitudes higher than women
Perhaps not alone. But don't discount the importance of a firm handshake. Whenever I give a man a handshake and he gives some limp wristed jelly grab, it immediately gives me a bad impression.
That's right, let's keep it that way shitskin.
Reminder that Donald Trump is the epitome of a boomer.
No one told you to go to college or get a credit card. You could work 2 jobs and save, live with your parents and in 8 years have enough to pay for college. Sounds like you got scammed
Because people are stupid and spend every penny they make. Even at 200k they buy a big ass mansion and sports cars they can’t afford.
I actually really do hate the Califags that shit up our state. My aunt in San Antonio was from Oregon, and she hates Californians because of they ruined it. Same deal with my dad's cousins in Colorado. Californians are a virus, and they should be treated like a foreigner when they try to move to other states.
texmex sucks shit too
Kek the trump cucks are at it again. Keep shilling that fag anons.
Live with my parents. Save almost all of my paycheck as an office drone. Pirate all videogames I can.
Pretty great ain't it? I hope you're ready for the monthly dynamite fights!

Actual, real boomers don't know how good they had it. The arrival of AI in the work force is only going to make the situation worse. Pretty soon you'll need a Bachelor's Degree just to be a janitor and still be paid shit wages.
Here's why that's a good thing.

It's a good thing Germans BBQ so well here. Brisket and pulled pork are all I need.
Colorado killed itself when it localized weed. Californian's have nothing to do with it because they don't have to move there to smoke it, but you have a shitload of homeless retards from bumfuck nowhere ruining Denver because dude weed lmao.
Your aunt is a fucking retard, which is to be expected of someone who living in one of the shittiest cities in Texas.
Just asked a simple question: Who are you voting for, shill?
They probably just expect everything to be handed to him, but that’s not how it works. You have to get out there and pound the pavement until you find a reputable wealth management firm. Then, it’s just a matter of following the advice of an expert and transferring funds from one place to another.
So GET A HOUSE. Stop renting if you’re settling down in that city. Mortgage payments are equity in a home and that’s an asset you can use.
>t. butthurt commiefornian
just be a male nurse and go into mental health and do fuck all lmao
explain
What does this even mean? Isn't living paycheck to paycheck just living?
Honestly if my promotion at my job doesn't get me a good pay raise I'm thinking of going into being a male nurse.
You didn't seriously think a fucking bartender who unironically thinks that there are "three chambers of government", the President, the House, and the Senate, would be remotely intelligent, right? How people fail to see she's just as fucking braindead as Trump is beyond me. Reddit and numales everywhere fucking worship her like some cult shit.
Neither. In the end of day all of these fuckers say the same thing and become wasted potentials. I already voted trump and that was a waste
I actually got turned down from a cleaning job because I didn’t have cleaning experience. I just wanted to make a small buck on a side gig between classes
See
Just pull yourself by your bootstraps, get a second job, look your next boss in the eyes and give him a firm handshake or start your own business.
hahahahaha oh shit
My aunt and uncle actually live in a nice part of San Antonio mostly because it used to be it's own city until it got eaten by urban expansion. God damn, every time I drive down to visit, San Marcus becomes closer and closer to be another extension of San Antonio.
Yea some people have these things called savings, where if they have an unexpected cost or miss a pay check due to something they don't have to mortgage the house or something.
>excellent with money
>rent
>It isnt the government's job to provide for the citizens
That's right, it's the government's job to provide for corporations.
Hope you're fit user, because if you're a male nurse they will push all the heavy lifting on to you. It's like that with teachers.
>be only male teacher in that wing of the school
>always get called on to lift heavy stuff or break up fights
Yeah and everyone can get a small loan from their parents to help out with their first business.
Jesus user it is not. I remember a few years living paycheck to paycheck and I have never been so fucking miserable
"Living" means making enough money to do things in your leisure time you want to do or go out. When you're living paycheck to paycheck you have no money for fucking anything, you certainly would not be able afford a home or support a family like that. This is what happens when the price of living goes way up and wages don't go up to accommodate.
That's the plan once I'm further into my career and actually at a job paying me near my max potential. I really don't want to be more than a 30 min drive from my workplace, so once I've got that done I'll definitely be getting a house.

What the fuck do people mean by “networking”? How the fuck do I talk to people about shit if they don’t look or sound like they want to talk to me?
It’s an absolute disgrace that there are people in this country who can’t even be bothered to get up and go out and put some of their cash on hand into high dividend yield stocks or even try investing in a mutual fund or placing a substantial inheritance into an account that generates thousands of dollars a year and can then be tapped into as needed
San Antonio is turning into a generic shithole west coast city. Too many liberals transplanting and voting the same shitty policies that ruined the place they moved from.
What nice part of San Antonio? Alamo Heights and some riverwalk areas are the only places I can think of. The rest feels like an endless expanse of dirty urban sprawl.
>charities to avoid taxes
Yes
Hypothetically if that was his expenses and if he graduated 3 years ago, his loans would be paid off or just about.
>the federalist
Truth be told I'm not, though I am in much better shape than I was years ago. But I'm seriously going to consider becoming a male nurse if this shit doesn't go through very well. Last I checked I just needed two years of "nursing" school to become one.
what's to explain? if you rent, then that money is gone. If you're paying a mortagage, you're buying a percentage of your house. That you can sell in the future. Meaning you're investing that money, not spending it.
Oh it gets better. They held auditions to run for office and she won, like a fuckibg acting gig, which is why the Bernie wing of the party ran her. 10 k people from her district tried out and she was the best they found.
Why do people care about year figures? Who give a shit if you make 100k per year, you get paid monthly, that is what should matter, not the year.
Reminder that very few money managers actually beat the market and those that do don't beat it by enough to justify their fees.

>how i paid off my loans in ONE year
>sold my moms manhattan property i got as a summer vacation area
You know health insurance costs money, right?
No, fucking seriously, you DO know that, right? Even if it's provided by your workplace you still have a premium that you pay, and usually it gets taken direct out of your paycheck.
You’re paying money to a landlord, right? That 30k yearly could be spent on a home. Every time you pay in to the mortgage, you pay in to a piece of the home that you actually own until 15/30 years later you own it for real. Well at any point in time you can move and take that portion you’ve paid in that went towards the house and not the interest.
Basically there’s a return when paying in to a house. Do some googling about financial investments or contact your local bank and ask them what to do with your money and about homes and other possible investments.
Peasant scum. You'll never be better than your gutter trash birth.
Lmao
how often do you go to the doctor that the 25% taxes you're paying on everything + high income taxes is somehow less than your medical bills?
Universal City, my aunt and uncle moved into the suburban neighborhoods, because my uncle got into IT in the late 80s, so he made out like a bandit. Overall it's still nice, but maybe that's because I spent a good chunk of my childhood there, so it might just be nostalgia.
But my mother, who lived there as a kid, did talk about how San Antonio absorbing it in the 90s brought with it problems. Like, I think one Halloween saw the first gang shooting. So maybe I'm wrong that it's overall super nice, but I don't think it was a shithole either. Especially compared to Galveston which does hold a special place in my heart.
Because they're directly correlated...

Loans are a good debt. Paying them off builds a high credit detail so banks would trust you with more amounts money for home mortgages or business loans.
live with my parents and have a part time job
I can afford all the games I want
but I usually just pirate them and go on vacation to Japan yearly instead
And? Its totlaly true. Heard it on Ben Shapiro and sent it to my friend who/ was bitching about medical bills and wanting free medicine.
Guess what? You dont have a right to free labor. Asking a doctor to care for someone without paying them a fair wage as decided by the Free Market is loke kidnapping someone and making them pick cotton
my health insurance is 60 bucks a month and I usually end up spending about 300 bucks total in medical expenses throughout the year.
How much is your stupid euro tax? 25% on everything you buy + another ~20% off your income?
Maybe if you're in your 50s from a upper middle class family.
That's fine. All the big damage is done to peasant countries. The whole world can get raped for all I care as long as long as I can live in my gated community.

Only if you are investing them.
P.S. Buying a house to live in isn't an investment, its speculation.
I mean if you plan on making big purchases in the future, showing you can be trusted with paying back a couple hundred thousand dollars is a good thing. Paying loans off early is only to give you peace of mind.
Jokes on you, any sign of significant medical bills and I'm declaring title 7 bankruptcy, just like everyone else does. American hospital bills are some ridiculous bullshit, fuck doctors.
>Enlist in Military
Buying a house to live in is the intended purpose of one, so it’s an investment in your livelihood and family. I don’t know what asshole told you not to live in a house you own but he’s spewin bullshit.
Bit sure what you mean here. That increase in automation is due to better equipment which is provided to the employee by the employer. He owns the extra revenue from that work, not the employee. . And if you will nptice wages have risen. Why should an employee make more just because he produces more? Thats not how the free market works at all.

Why is it that, without fail, every time some fucktard is ranting about free markets, they don't show the slightest understanding of what their precious free market is and how it functions?
First off, even if we agreed that we're talking about a free market - and we're not, because free market is a goofy idea that can't exist, property requires government enforcement - the notion of >end of discussion implies that the role of consumers in a free market is to be silent, uninformed and they should just take whatever is given to them with a smile. This kind of corporate asslicker rhetoric alone makes me boil.
Then there's the fact that none of you cretins likely took one economics class or have even the slightest clue of how a theoretical free market works. There is no perfectly rational homo economicus that makes your utopian market work. There is no perfect information for the homo economicus to use in deciding between competing products. There is no infinite competition for the homo economicus to choose from. The fact of the matter is that "free market" is an abstraction on such an obscene level that it only explains the most basic and LOCALIZED business transactions.
>He thinks that "free healthcare" means that the government is going to enslave doctors and force them to heal people for free

>Why should an employee make more just because he produces more? Thats not how the free market works at all.
Compensating people for less than they produce is literally a scheme to exploit free labor, management and labor are intrinsically opposed to one another dumbass.
Labour is a commodity. Workers sell it for as high as possible, capitalists buy as low as possible. Theres more workers than jobs, however, so theres downward pressure on wages. This means that wages systematically get suppressed.
This means that a workers wage is negotiated down towards in our current society with higher unemployment and less labour protection laws. This means that the price of labour gets driven down until near its "cost", the basics of living for a human.
Wages are low, but companies still have to sell. So they compete to drive down prices. They cuts corners, decrease salaries, do unethical things, make the cheapest products they can to make more profits.
This means that all the choice the avarage consumer has is the cheapest option available. Fancy "organic made by hipsters in sandels" food or clothes is too expensive for workers to afford, their wages are too low.
You have the choice to either buy the cheapest or starve. You dont have money to "vote" for more expensive non-destructive products, for food that isnt sprayed with poison, for clothes that didnt force children to work. Only the wealthy can vote with their wallet, and this is exactly what the rich do all the time, such as during the election, or when they hire death squads to assassinate union leaders in south america.
Fun fact: all top 1 percent income growth after 2000 came from capital, not labor.

>not reproducing because it’s hard
No shit it’s hard. Your parents did it, your grandparents did it and all the people before you did it. Don’t have a cry because life is hard. It’s always been hard. You don’t get anywhere in life without hardship.
Children are an investment and it’s almost impossible to describe how being a parent makes you feel until you become one. The unconditional love you feel for your own flesh and blood is really weird, but it’s the most rewarding thing you’ll ever do.
Daily reminder that all the video games, money, and other material possessions mean nothing. You will most likely be dead in 60-70 very short years and everything you strive for now and in the future will be gone. You are less than a blip in the timescale. The richest man to the poorest peasant are all the same in the eyes of the void.

You're not even comparing like to like, the standard of living in Texas is so much higher than Kerala that a homeless person would sill find themselves better fed and better taken care of than the majority of the labourers in that region, even sleeping on a sheltered park bench is better than sleeping on the dirt floor of a shack with 12 other people and with asbestos roofing.
You also bring up literacy while ignoring the grades of literacy as well as the fact that illegal immigrants cross into Texas by the hundreds of thousands annually, most of them illiterate.

Magyar here, why?
By not living paycheck to paycheck. I went to school, picked a major I liked that would be worth the investment, graduated in four, paid off my students loans withing the first year out of school, and now save appropriately for retirement/emergency while still buying the things I want.
Same boat.
Don't worry user, we'll all be wiped out by either Climate Change, 5G, or AI soon anyway.
do you think robots will save us user? to give shame to the fantasy?
>Donations
No seriously what do they mean by this. I get that it's click bait, but really what the fuck.
Living paycheck to paycheck isn't an issue. That guy in the pic is completely useless. His only skill is putting food in a bag and handing it to people, yet he has a car and a computer with an Internet connection and lives in a first-world country. He doesn't even deserve those things.
>whoa free money!
Are you guys ACTUALLY retarded? What the holy fuck. Do people pay you to make these dumb as shit posts? He is literally just a socialist. There is no difference between him, Bernie Sanders or any other communist (which includes liberals). His whole "ingenious" plan is just wealth redistribution. I mean, he's a chink so of course that's what he thinks will work.
>>"the hiring of a White House Psychologist to focus on mental health issues"
>Dear god we need that.
Dear God, do you eat paint chips? What's a mental illness? Who defines it? Do we need to government to do something about people who talk to themselves? Yes, if some wizards in funny hats call it a mental illness. How about depression? Sure. How about violent tendencies? Sure. How about claiming to see things that no one else can see? Sure.
How about believing the government is spying on you? Sure. How about thinking you need a gun to protect yourself? Sure. How about believing in biological race? Sure. How about thinking there are only two genders? Sure. How about playing video games? Sure. How about questioning authority figures? Sure. How about speaking your mind?
What? Those things aren't mental illness? Sir, I'm a psychologist and I can assure you they are. I wouldn't lie. Why would I lie? :^)

Your problem is that you work a full time retail job. Use your experience to get out of it. Retail is not good enough to live off of.

You're not wrong, our schools are shit, mainly because our class sizes are enormous and we're discouraged from failing/holding back kids. The former because education is always the first target of budget cuts, and the latter because nobody wants 15-year-olds in a classroom with first-graders learning to read The Cat In The Hat.
But Texas is even worse. There is an influx of kids of all ages who have literally never spoken a word of English in their lives, which puts a huge burden on the school system to accommodate them all.
I'm saving at least 500 per paycheck and rarely spend more than 20 for a game
Moscow/saint petersburg are pretty much generic euro cities and quality of life is same as there/usa. Rest of country is a lot more 1990s in terms of repairs/whatnot but it has been getting a lot better past few years (some cities are starting to catch up).
Drinking deaths have gone down as well especially among the youth since they didnt grow up during fall of communism/violent 90s.
I own an apartment here now and will be buying another one (as property prices will go up, right now USD vs ruble exchange is really good).
In 10-20 years ill be 50 and own 6-10 apartments and I 'll be retired in excess wealth (and hell I can always continue to work online too).
I lived in USA/Canada for 20 years before I moved back here.

Nobody in our generation will retire if things stay the way they are anyway, something will give or a ton of people will die and then something will give. Not hard to process.

Bachelor of Science (Hons)
I graduated 2012, and I'll give you one guess as to what year my government passed a budget that cut almost all funding to research. Research jobs are now so cutthroat you've got PhD students working as lab techs for close to minimum wage.
Yea like average income for russia is like 560usd right now (in moscow/st petersburg its much higher however).

Well I got my CDL and became a truck driver for a bit, wouldn't recommend it though it fucking blew hard after my training with my company. I didn't spend shit on the road so after I quit I've just been back with my parents since we get along and they really don't mind

Yeah, that's bullshit. Unless you live in bumfuck nowhere in the south or sharing an apartment with like 4 other people like some chinese insectoid, you're looking at way more than that.
People who don't grow up with people who love them end up sociopaths like this. Get help

>His only skill is putting food in a bag and handing it to people, yet he has a car and a computer with an Internet connection and lives in a first-world country. He doesn't even deserve those things.
I agree poor people should be killed. Unlike me who deserves the things I have even though I'm a grifter who contributes nothing of value to society and am simply leeching off the labor of others. I didn't need any skills other than the ability to manage my capital income, and that's a good thing.

user, you have a choice in Japan. You can either identify as White, or as Japanese. If your kids choose to identify as 'White', they will be ostracized in school, their career and more.
Unless somehow the Japanese are white, in which case the term has zero fucking meaning anymore.

But i'll find a recipe and give it a shot, even I probably can't fuck up eggs, salt, water and flour.
I just drive a forklift at costco and make 62K a year. Yeah, it isn't the greatest job, but it keeps me above water and feeds my vidya hobby.
t. never went to college
there's a ton of universities in the USA. with so many schools, it's trivial to find an example of something stupid happening somewhere. if you actually believe what you just posted, then you're far more indoctrinated than the average college student.
You could have done all of that without going into retail. Basically automation will eradicate all those jobs since they're not valuable enough to pay living wages for
I haven’t completely given up yet. I’d throw away a comfy single life of gaming for a decent childless roastie. Or the robots...whichever finds me first.

You faggots can enjoy your capitalism and crippling debt. I'll go to literally any country that won't bankrupt you if you get a high fever.
>it fucking blew hard
Why? I feel like it'd be the perfect job for me. One of the common complaints being away from family, but I don't have that problem. Only thing I'm worried about is self driving trucks.
Holy shit how did you land a good job like that? I move tons of furniture and have huge back problems and I'm not anywhere near that much.

Did you make one, giant, nokedli?
I didn't know what I wanted to do after I realized I'd be butting heads over politics in my master's degree for my whole career and it was making me miserable. So I worked retail to stay alive while I re-evaluated my goals.
Dude just print it.
I do all of that and can still afford to live comfortably because I'm not a filthy peasent
At least I can die not being a gullible fuckhead like you
>what is she even doing now
She pumps out kids, cooks, cleans etc
i live with my parents so all i pay for is my car and videogames hehe
So like, if someone wants to learn robotics, they go into a little room where a feminist tells them that all straight white males must die, and then they get a degree and start making self driving cars?

>The difference is that you can choose to not have health care.
Sure man just didn't get sick :)
the "62k a year" makes me think his country doesn't have free healthcare and unions
Tell me more, mohammed
>The difference is that making a doctor provide healthcare for free is slavery
Doctors are very well paid even if they are slaves to a socialist government. Everyone needs more or less health care at some point in their life. It's literally in everyones best interest to have health care available and not be bankrupted by it. It's not an option unless you're an retard.
Insurance companies aren't your friends. It's in their best interest to fuck your shit up and they will if they can get away with it.
>It is supposed to have a military and that is all
So you'd seriously want to personally pay by yourself to build roads, bridges, electric grid, plumbing etc just so you wouldn't have to pay taxes? Do you think Jamal and Mr. Goldberg will help you to build those roads if they aren't threatened with tax evasion charges?

This is it. He has more because unions and the gov arent robbing him to pay for healthcare and bullshit unions ronbing him so rich union bosses can rape kids
Anytime you get paid have x amount that immediately goes to a separate savings, budget pretend it's a payment so that money is "gone".
Its gained some prominence since that airhead AOC and some of the presidential candidates on the left are supportive of it.

Actually don't, you might lose your job and your house
Working on a forestry degree while doing timber cruising. Easy money for work that can be as difficult or as easy as you make it. 3 hours of work typically nets me about 150 dollars. I don't have set hours or times and can work whenever I want to, so I take up the stands (plots of land) I have to check out that are either easy to get to or are worth the most money. I always check the weather too. It's really comfy work. I don't know the average of how much I make monthly is but last year I pulled in 63,000 (converted to USD). Not bad for someone with zero prior job experience and a college student. There's only 3 downsides: Starting off you have to pay 700-1,000 dollars in equipment, there's always a chance you could get mauled by wildlife, and if you choose or have to work in harsh conditions, well...have fun. I don't work during the winter which means in the summer I do more work so I have money to live off of from October to April/May.
I'd recommend it to more people but I don't want them threatening my job security.
Open a savings account and set it up so you have to physically go to the bank and wait 20-30 minutes to get your money. Set up a budget and live well below your means. Case in point, I live in a mobile home. A very nice one with marble countertops and bulletproof glass, but it still is a mobile home.

Well it could have just be because of the company I went with after the CDL school but they basically tricked me and after their "training" I had to learn a lot of shit on the fly while also driving an 80 ton vehicle. Other things included at least 14 days working straight at a minimum at 10-14 hours a day to get 2 days off then right back it. Never knowing where you're going or what you're doing there. Trying to find the correct place to get in with a truck for both loading and unloading which I honestly found more stressful than anything else. Sometimes get new load info in the middle of the night and have to leave asap or you get yelled at. Sometime you don't get any load for hours or even days, resulting in shit pay. Also you say that you won't miss your family/friends but you will, I said the same shit but it's incredibly lonely and your options are so limited for stuff to do. Don't believe any of that "see the country shit either", you'll be looking at highways and shitty truckstops 100% of the time

>mixing into society
why would anyone who's left the swirling chaos of normies who've never had to fight in their lives want to mix back into it?
normies are literally the worst. they'll treat someone like shit for years because they looked bad one day and then cry foul when the person takes their years of pent-up aggression and commits suicide or shoots a place up. normies are the worst.
Don't learn programming, learn tools. Unity for example has a shitload of free guides and tutorials (including programming). By the time you're decent, not only do you know programming, you also know how to use a tool and how to create something with it.
The language doesn't matter. They all follow the same principals and logic. Just pick up one and make things with it. Go through a textbook.

Feels pretty good.
I think the thing they're getting at is in America you can no longer work a non-degree job and actually have money to live on your own unless you happen to get lucky. Population just gets higher and higher meaning more competition for shitty jobs that don't pay workers enough wages, the cost of living goes up every year, etc.
Fast Food is government owned and run in the US, it's a critical aspect of the countries infrastructure, more so than healthcare.
so pick up a book and read.. I have an AS in comp language, basically was all the language without the math because I'm retarded at that.. but the coding of basic non-mathematic shit wasn't even hard and the teacher was literally just reading out of the book.. same as it is for learning anything else you just have to fuckin practice
Damn, socialist policies sure killed australia and the EU!
post job faggot
Here's the problem. Insurance is fucked in America, even though I have fucking good healthcare from my job.
I have a low deductable, but the catch is that I still have to pay 10% of any hospital bill I deal with at my maximum. That's IF it's in network, but a hospital can be in network while employing doctors that are out of network.
Get seen by someone out of network? You get fucked. An emergency can quickly rack up to 100k+ which means you're paying 20k+ minimum, and that's after you reach your deductible.
So here's a tip: Get the fuck out of America before healthcare destroys your finances.
Fuck no most peoplw make less than a 100k a year regatdless of age, unless your rich or got lucky, making 100k a year at 25 is impossible. And depending on your taxes 610 in donations a month may not be worth it.

>No one told you to go to college or get a credit card.
Seeking higher education and building credit are both advice commonly given to young people in the US over the past half century or so
Fuck you, Whataburger for life!
Do any of the popular ones and you should be able to adapt what you know to other high level languages easily.
Put a lot of effort into learning data structures and algorithms after you get the general idea of how to use your language. Linked list, hashing, binary trees, etc.
>poverty material
I lived in the USA in an extremely overpriced resort town and I can tell you with absolute certainty that you are full of shit. The town I lived in was pricier than most flyover states so the only way 50k+ is poverty tier is if you're talking shitholes like Seattle or LA.
>No one told you to go to college
>Schools do nothing but talk about preparing you for college and failing to actually do so
You're retarded.
I don't do shit with it because I'm a self-hating failure. Took me 7 years to get a 2 year degree and I barely even made it out of high school.
Depends on your state and city entirely. 53k in most parts of SoCal is a decent living. If you ever plan on moving into the "richer" areas then yeah 53k ain't shit.

this is top kek advice at this point. having a line of credit is only advisable to people who had a rock solid upbringing and fiscally responsible parents with the savings to bail you out if you do fuck it up.
most young people these days, especially those in cities, are one mistake from homelessness and bad credit, which is a life-ruining circumstance. i almost got there myself, thank god for good friends.

Simulation. A lot of government/military contractors use game engines for simulation nowadays, and they make shitloads of money.
Also, you don't need to stop there. Unity is a fairly good place to start learning programming because everything is connected and well-documented, and it's c# so the skills will transfer over to other tools/languages/applications once you have the basics down.
Its never too late user. You can change and become a better person. I did.
Don't feel bad. My forestry degree is a 2 year one and at the rate I'm doing it, it's going to take me about 4.5 years, maybe even 5.

post one independent simulation contract available to a self-taught person, just one, and i'll give you a GBP and go away.
Well, not everybody is cut out for programming. But besides some obscure shit, every language boils down to variables and functions.
>meaning more competition for shitty jobs.
There's literally no competition for shitty retail jobs. The pay is so absolute shit that if you're willing to come in and say "RAPE MY ASS" they will take you so long as you're not murdering people or screaming at customers, no questions asked.
The high levels of unemployment now are because intro pay is so shit most people without jobs said "Fuck it" and went on government aid which is literally MORE than working.
Unemployment only counts people actively looking for jobs, so the second someone gives up, they "magically" dissapear off the unemployment rating.
then don't go around telling people to do shit, dumbass. don't inflate the misguided notion that a good life is right around the corner to the people of our era who should be settling for serfdom.
Yeah you live in the Bay Area retard, most of SoCal is not the Bay Area. 53k is a decent living where I'm from, and I'm saying decent, not fucking live in a huge 2 story home living. Not everyone needs to be on that hedonic treadmill.
>complaining about the best health care in the world
I buried my mother 7 years ago in Canada. She had cancer and her tumor was a quarter inch too big for the doctors to be allowed by the government to do the operation. After getting sandbagged for months, we took her to the US and they disintegrated her tumor from the inside with a minimally evasive hollow needle. It was like science fiction.
TLDR socialized medicine is primitive and when the chips are down, you WILL be killed by government imposed triage.
