Leave the land where you are from, go to another country, i suggest Asia, make it there. Op you need to leave your comfort zone, and the reality you built around it. Once you leave you will see it differently.

Not sure what your situation is OP, but you need to make a drastic change.

Work blue collar, pretty much any kind.

Youll start at 12/hr and only go up.

Yeah I know but I wasn't born lucky and with connections to good jobs so basically I'm fucked in the money department

My family also makes minimum wage so nobody is more wealthy than each other

You can break the routine. My parents were 3rd world shit, broke the habit not even by school or connections but just by putting my head down and busting my ass, proving everyone in my way that they're lazy fucks. 11 years since my first job, I'm a senior vp for a large bank.

What state do you live in, how many hours a week do you work, do you have a car, how much is rent+utilities+cell phone bill, how much do you earn, how much do you think you spend on groceries a week. etc, etc.

where do you work? what kind of jobs have you had? why haven't you been promoted to a managerial position? the only time i ever had a minimum wage job was in college when i was a barista. i got promoted to supervisor after six months by not being a dumbass and was offered a promotion to assistant manager shortly before graduation but i ended up leaving to get a real job. can't you just put in a little effort and get a promotion?

It sounds like you're making excuses. Either take one of these poster's advise or fuck off. Move somewhere, take a step in a different direction, pack all your stuff in your car at the end of your lease (or just do it now) and drive as far as your last paycheck will get you, live out of car for a while, find a job, work your way up.

Move to Asia sounds nice. That'd definitely be a change of scenery.

>> No.1626627

You need a side gig, meng, that's all. Something where you can learn something valuable.

I have several friends who are in a similar position and they now spend their free time mostly on side hustles. One is learning databases, another is getting better at sales.

Do not accept your circumstance
I'd recommend

I'm 32, was homeless for a long time and in the process of digging myself out of the hole I dug myself. Got my min wage job, got an apt with friends, got work experience and worked hard to get promoted. Now I have management experience that I can take to many places.
tl;dr: work hard, get promoted, keep stepping it up.

Why the hell are people suggesting someone working on minimum wage to 'move to Asia'?
The fuck does that even mean, Afghanistan, India, Nepal?

I guess not. I guess you mean the 'good' rich Asian countries like Japan, SK and China. Guess what these have immigration laws too and living costs are high af...let alone super complicated language systems.

I am really struggling to understand the basic logic behind this advice.
