Is your life going as planned?

Having served in the Army for 10 years really satisfied me. I was tested to the maximum and know what I'm made of. I've served in combat twice and earned my Combat Infantryman's Badge. I was Infantry, Airborne then Ranger.
I look back fondly of those times. I recommend everyone sign up for the most difficult route in the service. It will test you and you will learn your limitations.

Pretty good. Wife of almost 12 years, fuck all the time, 4 awesome kids, 3 cars, gonna buy a new house in the 500-600k range in the next month or so in So Cal (McMansion in a nice area, but fuck). Both make good money (wife ~150k, me ~90k but will go up in the next few months once I hit 1 year in my field), just dumped a shit ton of credit card debt and our credit scores went from ~640 to ~720.
I gotta say, things are going pretty fucking swell right now. Of course shit could be better in some ways, but life is good.
Pic related, it's my wife's sexy ass.

My fiance died 43 days ago. My life is certainly not going as planned. But hey, I'm glad things are working out for you.

Well, it's still something that gives me purpose and I wake up everyday knowing I can level up at that and see real gains, it's not something abstract. I went from stickmen to that and I'm excited to see what kind of stuff I do in a year or two.
But you're wrong, the right jobs can pay up to hundreds of dollars per commission and I'm even looking into learning animation or coding to make some cheap online game or visual novel and even learn to compose digital music to put into said games.

It's.. Yeah it might be trivial but I like the feeling of becoming multi disciplinary and leveling up my different stats.
But everyone has a hobby right? It's not like lifting or sports or tuning cars would give me any money either.

Btw I'm 25, he was 36. Would be 37 August 9th.

Smart. I'd recommend sticking with BTC and LTC. ETH is too dangerous.

Sorry to hear that Yea Forumsro.

Thank you. It's been really hard.

This got dark too quickly. Sorry to read that, I don't think there's any sensible way to deal with it

He? Are you gay or female?

Can't have kids and don't really want one of them. Raised my nephew for 4 years. That was the end of that.

I know it's a bit to ask. But could you whip up a quick sketch of a sour patch kid riding a unicorn. Doesn't even have to be super detailed. It's for my wife. Inside joke but I can't draw worth shit.

I love the idea of a project cars but I'm horrible at mechanics. I guess it'd be a good way to change that though.

What do you do for work?
Meanwhile, im planning a suicide for october

Sorry for your loss, user.

Grief counseling helps a lot. I held his hand while he died and promised him that I was going to be ok and that I would get help if I struggled. I feel like I don't know who I am or what I'm doing anymore. He was in the ICU for 15 days and I was his medical power of attorney and had to make the call. I was lucky that we had months prior randomly discussed DNR and our wishes for if we were on life support. I'm thankful that I don't have any kind of regrets for how our relationship was or how I treated him. We were incredibly happy. I'm also lucky I didn't get pregnant, I guess. I don't know what I would do if a baby was involved.

Only for selfish immature twits. Parenting can be the most rewarding thing you ever do, but only if you're committed. DO NOT have kids because you think it's something to do.

And never have kids to save a relationship. Have kids because you genuinely want to and you have an open, trusting relationship with your other.

You sound like me. But I'm 28 and my wife works too.

Never had the balls to serve. Thank you for what you do. And may it all end with your service.

A doctor my friend. Don't let pride stop you. I did. Now my shoulder is eternally fucked.

Truth.

You do you man, sounds awesome to me. Keep growing wherever you can

This. Im out for a year now and life is blah. Army life sucked too but at least I felt fulfilled in some way. Also life doesnt suck sobad when you have 20-60 other sioldiers going through the same thing.

Post tits or GTFO

Do you like your job?
Are you a cog in a corporate machine?

About to enlist in the army, I'm 19.

Hey, because it's not what you really want. You should try to seek your real Will.

This is for the female user
Tits or GTFO

Very respectable. Thank you.

Same except I'm 18
Not trying to one up and be an asshole just saying
Ayyyyyyyyyy
What branch?

I envy you. Except I could never leave my wife. She keeps me going.

Good job user. Hope it continues.

I'm deeply sorry for the pain you have and will still endure. I've been through death all my life. It never gets easier so don't let anyone fool you with that. You just learn to cope with the pain. Best wishes.

Question. Do you have family? A wife? Kids? Anyone at all that cares for you? If so, don't do it. It's selfish. It hurts those more than you think it ever will. Live for them, make that your drive. And if you don't have anyone, fuck it. You don't have anyone to disappoint. Live life differently. Throw a dart at life and run towards it. It's not like anyone will judge you. Just live user.

This is why I don't want kids even though I can't have any. Just cause you can doesn't mean you should.

Dont be a dumbass, stay out of trouble and dont drink and drive. The military can be an awesome time unless you fuck it up, then it can be hell.

Can't complain. 22 years young, traveling around earning money by doing what I love. Spend 11 out of 12 months on holiday locations so lots of one night stands with girls who aren't afraid to be judged because they are alone on holidays

Don't kill yourself. It's what weak people do.

I'm a radiation protection supervisor.

Currently waiting on a waiver from MEPS, but since it's taking forever I might smoke some of the shit my roommates have. Considering getting back into dating because it's been a hot minute since I've talked to the opposite sex in order to start a relationship, maybe getting tinder but I dunno.

I don't mind brother, I wish you luck in your service.

The infantry

What do you mean?

>Still feel bored with my life
Then kill yourself. It's easy.

1) find a loaded handgun
2) stick the barrel in your mouth
3) point up at your brain
4) pull trigger

Don't wait. Do it. Do it now. Shut your fucking mouth and kill yourself. Now fuck off and die.

Not really, but I've never had much of a plan. I have my own place, and am in pretty good health. Never married, no kids. Feels good not being tied down. Cannot imagine dealing with all the shit that goes into having a family, a house, a yard, all that bullshit. Not for me at all.
/blog

Ive witnessed alot of stupid soldiers in my time. Alot of drunk driving, drugs and just random stupid shit like running from the mp's on a motor bike. If you keep your nose clean the military can set you up very nice for the rest of your life.

LETS GOOOOOO
INFANTRY AS WELL!!!!!

I'm shipping out to Georgia soon
I forgot the name of the place

Thank you man

I'm level headed, squeaky clean substance-wise. I just hope my mental health stays intact, comradery is a definite curb to the potential damage but still I am wary.

It's rare to see such excitement haha. I'll keep you in my prayers brother.

Fort Benning, Sand Hill.
Back in my time, we called it Fort Beggining since you do Infantry, Airborne and Ranger all in the same place. BTDT.

Alot of help in the military if you need it. Just ask

Was Kelley hill around in your time? Thats where I was

Thank you. He's a pain in the ass but even when I'm mad at him he makes me smile.

Didn't use to be but my company got bought out years ago and they turned me into one. Gonna be going back to college next year. Hate the idea but it's my only way out.

You know you can tag a post right? Don't gotta call out who you're posting to anymore.

Live it up user. Plenty of time to be old and regretful later in life.

Tinder never worked for me. Honestly parks with a dog was my best winner. Girls like dogs.

Gotta live for my wife. I feel like you're projecting user. Is this a secret wish for yourself. If so please don't do it.

I'm not ashamed to see a shrink if need be, thank you for the advice.

After I've given it all I got, I plan on becoming a cop or perhaps working in the private sector with my skills. Who knows, the world is in my grasp.

It isn't often you see goodness appreciated and reciprocated.

See, this is a nice feeling, all is good in the world now.

underrated post

Make life what you want user. I'm rooting for you.

Not the normal on Yea Forums huh. I remember when there could be heart to heart threads right with gore/rekt threads. Times have changed. But you deserve some sleep user. Just know you made me and my wife very happy. I wish you well and a good life with your art. Don't give it up, you've got talent.

Lmao.
What's it like to be brainwashed into being "normal"?

Be smart, save as much of that money as possible. Diversify; cash money in savings accounts, money in bonds, money in stocks, money in crypto. Build up your credit by opening a few credit cards (1 at a time, don't open a shitload), set bills to pay on them and auto-pay 80-100% of the balance every month to build rewards points and credit. Always plan to be out of a job within the next month for at least six months before you start spending. You're in a great field that you can always find a job, but at the same time, there are a lot of people trying to get your job. Good luck, good job, and keep up the good work.

That's a weird law but it does stop a lot of younger kids from "rescuing" animals only to let them slowly die from abuse or neglect. Next year is your year user.

So here I am, I dont really know what to do, because if I get a job and try out electronic engineer I would have to start another career from scratch almost, and it might upset my grandma who is the one who owns the place I live and tell me to get the fuck out, again, dont know what the future will deliver me, but in all honesty I'm just fucking tired of my family but I dont know how to confrot them, even my gf tells me that I dont say anything to them even tho they are constantly passive agressive with me and I'm constantly complaining about that, again I'm just tired of them, I never noticed how much of a bitch my mom really is untill I moved out and had a greater look, but I still love her and apreciate everything she does for me, but again×3 she is hella spoiled and kinda smugy and its just a fucking obnoxiously annoying behavior (and yeah, I had told her that she is fucking annoying, and everytime is a lame ass apology and 50 minutes later, all the same bs again)

advice like this is where the scared NEET in me comes out. my first check as the contractor earlier this year was literally the first paycheck i had ever received. in terms of money, i feel like i don't know what the hell i'm doing, this is the first time i've ever had my own bank account and pay for 100% of what i do.

right now i'm just putting my checks towards either rent, bills, groceries, or savings. i still haven't figured how to diversify anything, i've honestly never even thought about money before this year.

some parts of me still aren't ready for the adult world, but i am trying to learn

That's perfectly fine! Keep paying your monthly bills and that's your number one start! In terms of diversifying and all that shit, start safe, start slow. Don't start reading blogs that tell you to dump everything into penny stocks, crypto, etc, because that's a good way to lose a lot of money if you don't have the time, knowledge, and/or energy to micromanage your money.

Whoever you bank with should have some sort of money market account or fund or something you can deposit a set amount of money into every month. If you've got 600 extra bucks lying around every month, put 200-300 in it, and keep the 200-300 for shits and giggles cash. Just try to be the one in control of your habits instead of constantly spending yourself to the bare minimum. Don't beat yourself up if you want to buy a new TV or video game, but also don't bury yourself in useless items that cost money and collect dust.

Im 14 and too depresed to get friends

Your job probably has a 401k; bump that shit up to the maximum deduction, even if it's more than they match. Get used to living without that money. One of the biggest problems my wife and I had was that every time we made more money, we spent more money. We quickly found out that it's a better idea for us to "hide money" from ourselves, per se, than to try and "save it". You can always rationalize to yourself why you should spend your money.

i don't know your story, but i'll just say - moving away from my abusive brother and my enabling family was the best thing i ever did

>14
why the fuck are you on Yea Forums

no

Bigger nigger alpha males dominate beta bitch white boys in any sexual display of dominance. It is always clear that superior mighty ebony members deserve more praise than jealous faggot white beta males. Niggers have more testosterone, and are more suit to breed with women. I, faggot white boy, will forever yearn for bbc in my hungry ass. I, faggot white boy, pledge my soul to serve bbc cum gods for all eternity. Gay for big black nigger dick forever. Gay for big black nigger ding dong for life. As a true faggot beta bitch ass niggerloving inferior white boy, I, faggot white boy, hereby dedicate the hard work of my caucasian ancestors to forever to please the mighty ebony member that is a giant big black cock. I worship niggerdick as my true lord and savior, and would gladly slurp up yum yum nigger cum any time any where from any big black penis. I pledge my beta bitch ass to alpha male African black sacred seed semen that the superior BBC cum daddy muscle black man will ejaculate into my inferior bitch ass filling my bum with his liquid love. I shall spasm in absolute faggot ecstasy, as I acquire the closest thing to heaven on earth, a huge black ding dong squirting its warm baby batter deep into my desperate hungry faggot ass. All hail large African nigger doinkie dongs for all eternity. May my wife sister mother and other white females continue to be dominated by the sheer lust that every member of the white race experiences in the presence of a hung masculine black cock. May my girlfriend and my own ass get fucking wrecked by nigger daddy cum BBC lord. White boys are all secretly gay for the thought of a thick veiny long juicy black cock that could give our girlfriends way better orgasms than we could ever imagine with our puny pink teeny weenies. All hail mighty African purple penis power

Goodnight anons. I feel like this was a good thread. We need more like them. See you next time.

Damn sounds like a nice gig after a boot camp of coding

Shameful redditfag, saw greentexts about 2 yrs ago and now im on this shit

Welcome to the shit show. Don't listen to the fucking lunatics like . Also, GTFO before FBIman.exe runs.

it is, man. i feel lucky as hell

What kinda boot camp was it because i like to code but am not very good at it, and that kinda moneys sounds tasty

Gotit mate

it was called Hack Reactor. it's a full-stack bootcamp that focuses on JavaScript

that being said, you have to realize that it's designed to respond to how much work you put into it. i can honestly say i worked hard and put a lot of hours into learning it. if you don't do that, then your first job will be either standard or sub-standard.

also, you have to note, i did get pretty lucky. the craziest story i've heard was someone getting 140k straight out of a bootcamp at instacart, and when the management at instacart heard that a new junior developer was making that much, he flipped his lid, but ultimately couldn't do anything about it

Thanks ill look into it
