I am a lonely bitter old boomer fag who is forced to wagecuck in his 40s who bought into the travelling meme living in London, Stockholm, Krakow and Barcelona before returning to the US.

Although I had a really nice french girlfriend at one time and a 9/10 Swedish QT, I spent hundreds of thousands of dollars paying to fuck every fresh Eastern European in Soho London in the 1990s, in Barcelona in the 2000s and Backpage girls 2010-2017.

Now live with a 23-yr QT with a big generation gap and nothing to talk about but fuck. No other friends. Hundreds of thousands wasted sampling international pussy. Maybe I would have been better off with keeping friendship and family in the same town while saving money on pussy and having a cool million and not wagecuck in 40s? I don't think all that travelling and pussy was worth the wagecucking I am going to continue to have to do. Moderation Anon, moderation. Save in your 20s, magic of compounding investments.

Not anymore, she left her job in January to take care of the kid so I have that much more to pay for. She has bad credit and outstanding debts on a home in portland from her ex-fiance as well so I'm not going to destroy my credit rating sharing a bank account with her. Any petty cash I scrape together is hers, on top of me being the account holder for all our funds and credit cards.

It's literally going to drain me of whatever money I have left until we have to sell our property and move back into town. Or I'll likely just die.

>Why not get a job though!?
Still trying to get some kind of a settlement for the website I spent 2 years on. I probably will have to get a job but I live in the middle of no where and I my car is broken. Just farms and stuff around me. No one needs tech people here.

>Do you have a job?
No job right now. I spent two years being a slave developing a website and never received any money. I finally put my foot down and they basically told me to fuck off.

>What are your expenses each month?
About $1200.

>How much in crypto?
Probably about $10k remaining. I don't like to look at it. I have some mining rigs too, but at current price levels they just lose money every month.

I lived outside the US for 13-14 years. I regret it because I could have started a career and had maybe 10-12 years of retirement savings which in would maybe have made me able to scrounge a NEET life right now. Maybe I could still have traveled for 2-3 years.

>>10221746
>please, help

I only learned to program by myself when I was 29-30. I autistic, don't want to be in work environments,, meetings, conference calls, etc. But it was start to save some money or wagecuck $7.25 /hr so that is all I focused on. Then applying to literally hundreds of jobs a week. You don't need a degree for most tech stuff. And it doesn't have to be tech. Learn some other skill.

For the first time in US history there are more jobs than job seekers. You should be able to get something decent and work your way up. Sorry you have to wagecuck. But your goal should be to get a job as some corporate parasite. Then you hopefully get to WFH a lot, do nothing, browse, shitpost and get a 401K, HSA, profit sharing but you'll still complain about wage cucking. You also have the advantage of free rent at home. But 26 means time is ticking...

oh hey, that's me. It's funny because I consider myself underpaid (shitty company in flyover country, been here too long) and i'm trying to find an easier job with better compensation, thinking big corp or government. I fell for too many /g/ memes so it's hard for me to find work that I can stand.

>>10222037
probably a waste of time. best thing would be to get a BS in computer science and actually learn that shit (don't fall for the "self-taught master race" meme, especially if you want to take it easy), but as you probably can't afford that you're next best option is to study up on the latest meme's on job boards, attend meetups (hopefully you're in an area with a lot of tech jobs, otherwise you'll probably need to move), cobble together a portfolio or make open source contributions that you can brag about. Getting a bottom of the barrel code monkey job with some shit consultancy probably isn't too hard, and if you squeeze some resume-worthy experience out of one of those roles you might be able to get less awful corporate position.

I've heard good stuff about it but never tried anything myself so I can't really say. Also, I don't think most employers have heard of it. You don't need to get a degree but just to get your foot in the door any type of a certification would at least have some value. Tech skills are mostly self learned anyway (even with a degree) so start by reading and playing around with different things. You might find that you're good at or like databases, front end, networking, IT security, data analytics, etc ...there is a lot of stuff and you might at worst find something bearable. Fuck, I want a NEET life myself but don't want to eat dog food when I am 60.
