I just want to make some money to have control over my life. It's just letters and writing and pleading with people. It's so tiresome. I'm going to start playing the lottery more. If I don't gain control over my life again -- which I estimate of getting a dwelling place and having about $20k set aside in addition to a functioning vehicle, not needing to worry about food and so forth--- I'm just going to become a priest. I've had enough struggling.

I’m about to graduate university with a math degree. I have no clue what I can do to make money out of college. I don’t want to work in finance. Help anons. Mom won’t let me be a NEET

I want to read at least 10 books, hopefully finish the Lancelot grail cycle and a few others on my shelf.
Financial situation? Just pay my bills on time? I’m saving for a trip to Vegas and an engagement ring, ideally by next September.
Other goals: publish either some of my poems or my artwork. Realistically, at this point I would be happy if I actually made more artwork since it’s been a while since I’ve made anything I’m proud of

Any recommendations would be appreciated. Does anybody know which publishers have the best build quality for the best price (glue, spine, papers not falling out). I can't afford hardbacks. I also want to read more stem books related to my field to improve my understanding.

>Improve your financial situation?
Just gonna try to live frugally. I am starting masters in 2020 and I have a very low income. I have a budget and hopefully I can stick to it.

>Any other goals you have in mind?
Try to lose weight. Read more. Learn to write better academically. Self educate in more stem subjects. Learn to actually code and program WELL (I am a code monkey).
