I earn only $36,000 a year yet I'm already 36 years old(been on 4chan since 2004 so yeah I'm old). Did I fuck up really bad in life to still be this poor?

Makes me feel better about myself. I just got a job making 650 a week and im 19. Living with mommy and daddy though so i will be saving about 500 a week and i already have 11k from working a shitty (minimum) wagecuck job. The good thing is that i will be able to take my knowledge and skills from my new job and start my own business in a few months which from doing the same amount of work will make me about 1.5k per week.

That's the problem, I live in California too. The only way I can survive on this is because my parents let me live in one of their properties without paying rent. I'll never earn as much as my dad does, it's embittering.

If it helps any your dad probably didn't "earn" those gains. He lucked into them by being in the right place at the right time.

If he's a man he'll probably admit it.

31. Class of 04 here. Nah OP i got lucky to get this job at 40k. Work 59 hours a week. If u can budget descent or run a side gig thatsabout average for my rural area of Kansas. Its never to late to pick uo a trade or go another route. At our age you could go to welding school for 9 months and go weld for 10 years and quit before u are broken and old.

Yeah but its probably top 20% in my town. Maybe top 10% if u only count blue and white collar jobs. This place has really gone to shit. Good news tho. I eaither invest in property and me and my bros live in this fyibg town of redneck fun or it picks up and i made a solid investment. Mitigating risk is key. Sure i coukd lose money. But a few dirt cheap houses is okay even as a liability. So with that mindset there is little to no risk.

Mexicans took all the lower class jobs. Meme degrees pumping out over qualified cucks to flip burgers. Few jobs for acual hardworking people. Welfare state makes it easy af just to skate by.

Example. Buddy gets 25 rental houses. Tries to hire his lazy cunt mother inlaw to simoke go around and post notuces and make calls to collect rent and sceduake repairs. Essentially a property manager that rarely gets out of the car.

I'm almost 29 and going from 30k to 35k next month, which means ~$2k take home. Cheapest 1 bedroom apartments around here are $900. Desperately want to move out of my parents house where I'm only paying $500. Is anyone even going to rent to me knowing half my income is rent? Also have a $300 car payment, $100 insurance, and $200 student loan. Fuck
