effay,

What do you do or what are you aiming to do w your life?

Im sick of being broke all the time and even though Im 18 I cant see much of a future ahead for me. My family almost seem content with being lower middleclass and theyre in no way success stories, even if they do have money. (ie they bought a second house as an investment out of no where and freaked out and sold it losing like 68k}

Im more than willing to put in hard work and sacrifice many things for the meer chance of an improved life but every path I can think of seems brickwalld. So many people at my work seem happy working part time for mediocre pay.

tldr, I ask effay to share some insight because its a pretty grounded board imo

You can go be a rough neck or you can drive combines for a harvesting company. But considering this is /fa/ I doubt you would be man enough to do either of those.

Why don't you try waiting tables then and start a community college. Then keep your GPA high and get an associates. Then get a slightly better job with your associates and a scholarship from the grades and go to a state school for 2 years and get a bachelors.

The "easiest" way to acquire a whole bunch of cash that I know of is in Real Estate - specifically, renting apartments. It's still not easy by a longshot, but with 45 hours of education (in many states), some people skills and a bit of drive you can pull down thousands of dollars a month relatively easily.
I say relatively because you're still up against all the other agents who want your deals, and lord knows they're a hungry lot. I suggest it because at least around these parts it's possible to make enough cash to live easy with about 1-2 weeks of work a month. And I live in NYC, where the cost of living is astronomical.
Of course, this is assuming you've built a client base, researched your area to hell and back, are capable of networking and know how to make strangers laugh or otherwise feel at ease.
I know many people who've pulled themselves out of poverty like this. People who had no hope and no future a 5 years ago and now go shopping in France.
However, for every one of them there are countless failures, people who couldn't or didn't really want to make the grade. You have to make your area your entire life and really get hungry until you start getting networked and get a feel for the job. It's not easy, but I really believe that it's the quickest way from A to B in a society where decent midlevel jobs have gone the way of the dodo.

That 68k your family lost on that home they sold? Look at it this way: The money didn't just vanish. Someone else made 68k. Why shouldn't that someone be you?

This requires capital.

>> No.6018921

>>6018885
No it doesn't.
It requires a license, 45 hours of class and a sponsoring broker. You're looking at 400 bucks, tops. Trust me on this, I've seen a lot of people do it. You start off making commissions by renting apartments.

hi op, save up some money and spend it on stocks, if you know what you're doing and been watching the market for a while, you can get some cash out of it.

I actually have thought about real estate but lost interest knowing I would need a large sum of cash. Though, I will look farther into and think I could do a better job then my parents who are impulse worried thinkers. Thanks

finish my masters if I feel like it here in the next year

I have a community road bike ride ~20 miles in the morning on Friday

then im going to play in a MTG draft tournament on sat.

I MIGHT go to Friday night magic but my standard deck kinda sucks (jund)
not enough shocklands to do anything

going to guitar center tomorrow to get a tremolo bar for the strat

buy a vintage colt 1911 in blue with holster wear (hard to find)

umm idk probably upgrade to a carbon frame

beat tomb raider (kind of bored with it)

get a wii u and hack it just becuase
I keep losing the remote to my 2 TV's both the 26" and the 40"

so i'll just use a wii u control unit to power them on/off since its harder to lose

I MIGHT build a pico reef
petco is selling dragon eye zoa frags for $7.99 and have a bunch of chaeto for $17.99
I already have a power 20 filter and red LED's to build a badass scrubber

and I have some purigen laying around

and I have a freshwater fluval chi here doing nothing but growing plants, and housing ghost shrimp and black skirts

I MIGHT golf today

or just go to the driving range
and get used to the titanium callaway driver I just got

i don't care who you are, how much money you have who you fuck or where you live, if you play older than 18 and still MTG and not getting paid to do it you're a fag.

The only thing you do that could be considered vaguely /fa/ is go biking.

Everything else is autist.

The fact that youre even considering giving up a Friday night to play some card game based around magic, marks you as a complete norm.

Apart from the golfing and the biking then, no. None of those things are /fa/.

Guitar's are definitely not fashionable when you go on about them like you are. You just come across as neckbeardy.

Nano reef. Really, youre trying to tell me owning fish is fashionable?

Guns just arent /fa/ at all.

Here is the major problem youre running into

>lol they might not be high school kid/freshman college kid tier but its not some broke ass shit

No, theyre not broke ass shit, but that doesnt instantly make them good. Just because something is expensive doesnt make it fashionable.

>> No.6019685

>>6019675
Why would you want to be a one dimensional person who lives to be #fashionable. That is defiantly not /fa/.

Also Ibanez is and always has been the neckbeard guitar.

Incorrect. The five seven is a neckbeard gun. The 1911 is boring. Schofields and lugars are also /fa/ but lugars are played out like peacoats.
