What would you recommend someone with only a GED, no work experience at 32 years old, and only $35 to his name to do with his life to become financially independent and able to live on his own? I also don't have a car or my license, I live in a small town without public transportation or any work nearby. But I do have my PC and good internet.

Move
>same boat
I recommend you live with your parents.
How I supposed to do with that with $35 with no income to supplement the move?
I don't even have that option. My parents are dead.
Life's not easy. If you're stuck without a car you really fucked up.
Your McDonalds job should be supporting at least 3 different bills, one of which is rent and the other being car insurance and whatever it is you are still paying for.
Get a job. Get money. Like a fast food job.
You absolutely need one or 2 other people to share bills. There are people who are stuck and people in their place.
You should be thankful.
Walk to the nearest big city and get a fucking job. Might make rent.
What is your current living situation? I’m assuming you have something coming in or you have some sort of free housing.
What do you consider a "big city"? Because the biggest city in my state has 50k people and that's over a good hour away from me.
McDonald's in my town won't hire me, I have history and personal conflicts with some of the management there. Same with Burger King and Wendy's and those are pretty much the only jobs here as my town is under a crisis of becoming a "ghost town".
I'm living with a cousin who's basically letting me stay, I basically do housework, yardwork, and get them free shit that they want online because they aren't very tech savvy to "earn my keep". But things are slowly starting to get hostile because I don't have an income.
wtf is ur history that u won't hired where niggers do
Okay.
Honestly, I don’t think it’s too late for you. I think if you’re mentally in the right place and willing to work hard, you’ll make it.
Clearly, you need a job. Anything will do. I know nothing of your town, what it’s like, ect; You’re going to have to be the one doing the main thinking. One issue though, you don’t have a drivers license. Unless you can get regular rides to work, you’re going to have to walk. I know nothing of your physical health, but even for most human beings a 5 mile walk is more than doable. That’s a little over an hour of walking. 10 miles on a bike if you have access. Remember the working hard part I said earlier? Here’s one part of it. This is also probably the hardest part too. You need to find something locally. Even try again at the fast food places. The turnover rate is SO high there that there’s a chance the management is no longer there.
After obtaining a job, your next step is a license. Depending on what state you’re in, the test is a joke and inexpensive. You show up, don’t crash, and use your blinker in a parking lot and you can drive.
After that, get a used car. Congratulations, the world is your oyster. Continue to work and SAVE your money. Obtain a certificate in some type of programming, or get a trade. Live your life.
The managers who run the fast food places I went to school with and had a lot of drama with them throughout the years. We literally hate each other to the point where they probably want to honestly kill me or would rather see me dead or anything else than work with me let alone hire me.
When you get a job see about tossing a few hundred to your cousin for rent. See if that gets rid of the tension, if not save for as long as you can there then get out.
wtf kind of drama causes that
am genuinely curious dude
Go to the one manager you think will be most merciful...humble yourself...because you fucking should be at this point. Make amends. Work HARD.
Ignore your impending doom by funposting on discord and deal with your future later.

Just sell drugs
I'm not mentally in the right place to be honest. I probably need to seek therapy. My cousin is trying to get me to see someone right now. I've been in a dark place for the past decade and the last two years has been that much worse. But I'm slowly recovering mentally as I feel like my backs against the wall and something must be done. That I'm in dire need of change.
For the meanwhile I have semi-reliable transportation through my cousin whenever they aren't busy. But that's why I really would prefer something online. Outside of my town to the next that would have jobs is roughly about 50 miles away. I'm not physically fit and not very strong. Plus my physique is very small and I have muscle problems in my back, legs, and wrists. Also they still work there. I'm 100% sure of it, there's literally no where else for them to go plus my cousin knows them as well and has confirmed.
I've tried my driver's test a number of times in the last 14 years and failed it every single time. I've also been in accidents when trying to drive with my learners and have breakdowns when behind the wheel akin to PTSD.
I would definitely do that if possible.
I fucked the one that works at Burger King's wife and then he blames me on $1500 missing thinking I stole it.
The one that works at McDonald's thinks I'm still a worthless stoner troublemaker and I egged his house back in the day then fucked his girlfriend. But I can't work there anyways because I'm banned from McDonald's for shitting in the urinals and then smearing it all over the walls as a "prank". Also got really fucked up one time in there on Robitussin.
Then the bitch at Wendy's I used for sex, money, and slashed her tires after we got into some other drama and heat dealing with me not dating her along with her stalking me at one point threatening to get her dad to shoot me.
This
I don't use Discord.
I don't know how to get started now that all of my old "drug buddies" have died of ODs.
Not a bullshit city.
Anything other than living in LA new york city Miami etc. Is not ok.
I can see why people white flight to the middle of nowhere but not living in a main city is bullshit. San Antonio and Tampa is bad enough.
Just saying there's these people called bikers. Who live in trailer parks. RV is not that bad.

I can't recommend that enough, go to therapy
>I don't know how to get started now that all of my old "drug buddies" have died of ODs.
Don't sell drugs
Sounds like you should have thought of that earlier because you need a driver's license and rides.
Car problem won't be solved that easy but you shouldn't have fought at those fast food places. I get that you're stuck but there's more places to get a job at.
You need a job until you can get a car and an apartment. Keep working until you buy a house.
That is some white trash shit. I assume everything west of Oregon
I went to school with people that are just hateful bitches. Guy at Zios wouldn't hire me.
Yeah just get neetbux
have you thought of joining antifa? all you need is a bike lock, a black mask and to be a looser faggot.
You sound sucky. Why are you like that?
This
bullet sponge in the us army
the shit of the us winds up in the army
mostly rednecks with some ghetto urbans thrown in to the mix.
What are trying to convey with this? I'm confused.
Yeah, now I just need to figure out where to go for therapy and hope that nobody I know is actually the therapists or went to school with.
Did you read this?
>I've tried my driver's test a number of times in the last 14 years and failed it every single time. I've also been in accidents when trying to drive with my learners and have breakdowns when behind the wheel akin to PTSD.
But I wish I could at least manage to get my license even if I don't drive on a regular basis.
There's a Walmart about 30 miles away that I put in an application for from the time I was 18 to 25 and never once got a single call back.
I'm no where near Oregon. I wish I was though. I'd rather be out West.
I'm guessing me seeking therapy would be the first step to acquiring "NEETbux"?
I live in MAGAland, I'd be killed on site.
Op drop the town name
Or maybe not for your own good
Hopefully your situation gets better but hoping isn't enough and it's as good as shit
Any anons have any advice on moving out and surviving and not becoming homeless? Or surviving homelessness Incase op ever needs it? I've been homeless before and I might go back in because I might move out and take the risk to get more money so hopefully win win?
East coast? Mid West? South? If you can't drop location at least give general side of us
Alaska?
I made a lot of very bad choices and was a manipulative sex addict. I was "sucky" and still am as far as my life's story goes. I need to break the cycle.
What?
East not exactly the South but people here are for the most part like the South. Bible belt rednecks who worship Donald Trump.
inb4: I don't care about politics, Trump is cancer and so are the democrats. Either way we're just choosing a way to be enslaved by one party or the other.
I mentioned it here.
Join the military.
At 32?
Bumping the fuxk outta this thread so op can survive
Thanks user, also checked for them dubs.
Checkem
I don't have that Christian bale pic but checkem
I wish I had the sauce as well
Knowledge on how to do nothing but pure wins
Still bumping
Maybe sex somebody for a quick money? No prostitution, moreso they get sex and you get money?
You sound like an immature asshole who has lived out his selfish ambitions with no regard or respect for others. I know it makes me less of a person but im kinda glad your struggling now.
I've been struggling pretty bad and suffered an extreme amount of loss. So karma without a doubt has had it's way with me. I'm ready to move on and get out of this "punishment".
Seriously:
1. Go to an antique store, buy a cheap railroad track anvil, tongs and some hammers.
2. Build a $50 propane forge (TONS of legit plans online)
3. Scavenge ferrous metals at the side of railroad tracks (you’d be surprised)
4. Teach yourself to blacksmith small items: jewelry pieces, S hooks, “rustic” items like hinges and drawer pulls.
5. Sell them at craft shows, bazaars and swap meets.
Average monthly income I made from doing this exact thing part-to-full time three years ago was roughly 3000-4000 USD/month tax free.
Not even remotely kidding. After my first year I bought a purpose built propane forge, German steel anvil, a few extremely nice cross-peen hammers, tongs/tools/etc and rented a purposed shop space and do this full time as a career.
I now make about 80k/year USD as an “artist” with only a HS diploma from the shittiest high school in Vegas.
Grab a bike you're free to be homeless wherever you like.
You don't even need to worry about rent. I don't think you can afford it.
I hope you don't mind, but I screenshot your post so I wouldn't forget it. I'm going to look into this, because honestly it's one of the most interesting and intriguing posts I've seen in some time.
Rock it out. I wish I could get you my contact info so I could give you advice along the way but you’ll figure it out as you go
And you’ll burn yourself too. No biggie.
Just remember that at first everything will look like shit to you but don’t get discouraged. Just keep hitting shit with a hammer, you can’t break it.
Get mad at the world? Take it out on the metal.
Watch YouTube’s on technique.
Keep a journal on a 99c notebook from the dollar store with ideas
Make your own YT channel if you have a smart phone
Don’t burn down your cousins house and remember to keep that guy on your good side because you need his place as a base of operations for now
Try to make amends to yourself for the shit things you’ve done but STOP DOING SHIT THINGS:
You don’t want to fuck with karma when handling 2300 degrees Fahrenheit steel.
You’ll be fine.
Thank you for the advice again, I'll be looking into it this. I'm not too far from a railroad and can probably go down to the tracks on the next nice day we have. I'm always seeing metals laying around there and by the river.
