This anon gets it. Ever notice how most of the time you'll go to the toilet around the same time every day? Well train your body to do that during work hours. Not only do you save money via less water and toilet paper bills, but you'll essentially be earning a paycheck whilst doing your business.

>>323250606
Show up to work 9:30 instead of 9. Nobody says shit. Take a shit around 9:45. Get out close to 10:30.

Do some work and read Manga or watch twitch. For an hour and a half. Woo lunch time. Take 2hr lunch. 2pm now. Sit tight for 3hrs doing some work or reading Mangas. Maybe texting people.

Leave 4:45 instead of 5. Beat traffic and get home in 30min around 5:20

And that's how I get the most free time. Used to get to work tired as fuck in morning and be home after 6 thanks to hitting traffic. Realized most people have no awareness and don't notice shit 90% of the time.

You can help yourself in many ways like this. I get significantly more sleep and game time than I did 8 months ago and I rarely feel tired and still get all my work done better than everyone else.

There's more to life than video games, is there an area of your life that you're unsatisfied with?

Op. You have extra income you dont know what to do with? Nigga you're doing better than 90% of Americans right now. You need to start building your ass a safety net and future proofing your finances.

- If you dont have one, start a 401k.
- Start a savings account with a good interest rate.
- Put a down payment on your own house, and pay that motherfucker off over a few years.
- Get a new car with a low monthly payment. Both this and the mortgage on your house will make your credit look amazing if you keep up with the bills.
- Put back money for a new car or a college fund, or just keep a 20k emergency fund in case you get hit by a car or something.

If you need an expensive hobby outside of vidya, I recommend Magic the Gathering or starting a Warhammer 40k army. That would be the stupid thing to do though.

>>323251557

Get a second hobby. I took up drawing and dedicated myself to it despite being lukewarm on it at first. Knowing you have no money problems in life means you can dedicate a lot of free time.

It won't help your sitting-on-money problem but it'll at least make you stop thinking about it. I'm still living off the $65k I made 3 years ago.

>>323252002
I sit on my ass at a desk making proposals and quotes for the mechanical stuff we sell.

>>323252135
>Needing money to spare

For a down payment maybe, but you can usually haggle yourself down to a cheaper monthly payment if you have and modicum of charm.

That being said, I dont know how much you could haggle a Tesla for, thats some premium shit. You could always refinance one, but I really wouldnt recommend doing that unless you have to.

>>323256224
The reason is buying even a small house is so much better than renting an apartment.

- Mortgages can usually be cheaper than apartment rent monthly if you get a good plan

- Keeping up with your mortgage makes your credit look good, which makes things like car buying and shit easier

- You do whatever the fuck you want without having to deal with the fucking niggers upstairs and the spics right beside you.

- Once the mortgage is paid off, you're fucking set and can live much more comfortably

- You arent getting cucked by some jew landlord or apartment owners

- More space for when you want to have friends or sluts over

- By the time the house is paid, its value will have gone up. Maybe a little, maybe triple its original value. Sell that shit and make off with the extra cash.

>>323256224
Because you can own and sell your house in the future instead of just renting a place forever

Houses, assuming their condition hasn't gone down, always experience a general upward trend in price over the long term. This is due to inflation and scarcity.

>>323257247
I dont know the exact reason, but everything gets more expensive as time goes on, Im not an economist. The house you buy was worth $110k, in 15 or 20 years time, it can be worth $160k. Look at that, your mortgage is paid for the amount agreed on in 2016, you just made 50 thousand fucking dollars.

As for wanting to sell, the reasons vary. For most normies, the reason is that they need a bigger place for the kids the accidentally made. Some people have to relocate for a better job, and having that extra cushion makes the move easier. Some people just get fucking tired of the place and decide to move closer to home or to a new area entirely. Life nigga.

Teslas come with a shit ton of perks though, like tax breaks and warranties to replace/upgrade your battery at a well reduced cost.

Combined with the lack of gas bills and total ease of access siphoning its power for free from public outlets it really becomes a worthwhile investment that pays off long term.

Get a range extender though. 100% no gas is a great pipe dream but it's not quite reliable enough yet.

You should really be focusing on your studies but you're at the perfect age for a starter job. I used to be like you, extremely introverted with no work experience. Once you get your hands dirty, it will get better and your anxiety will clear up. You dont have to ask people for a job, just look around town for places that have help wanted signs, and put in an application. Most retail places will hire you even if you're an absolute drooling retard.

Just be careful not to make a career out of whatever side job you have once you get out of college. Look for jobs in your field and peace the fuck out of that shithole when you get that sweet gig.

Ive been considering getting something that is mostly electric with a small gas backup, but I wont be able to do anything like that for another 6 years at the latest. Gas backup is just a piece of mind kind of thing, knowing if the battery goes tits up I can just go old school until it gets fixed.

With the specific intent of selling for profit, yes, you arent a house flipper. Its an option that may or may not be viable once time passes, but if you arent a retard and stay ontop of upkeep of the house, there is a good chance you'll see at least a small amount of profit. Owning your own house is much better than living in an apartment for the rest of your life though.

I pay almost $400 a MONTH for SR22 on an '06 vehicle because I have so many reckless speeding tickets from road trips over the last 4-6 years.

Its going to get much better when you get out from under those student loans. Clear out those loans, and build up some money to live off of for a while. Its called "Fuck you" money. Money you have put back to live off of when you tell your boss to kill himself.

Honestly though, any decent full time job is going to give you enough PTO and sickdays that you can enjoy yourself once in a while. People act like 40 hrs is a death sentence, and you'll never play vidya again. I work 45+ hours on the weekdays, and still find time for vidya, 40k, and Larp Full contact, none of that pussy shit. Can I marathon shit for 12 hours like I used to? Rarely, but I still can make time.

>Fulltime job
>Bought all the video games
>Full idort
>Have too many games to choose from when it comes to free time

Fuck being poor, being an idort is awesome. It's like opening up the freezer and wondering which flavor of ice cream I want that day.

How do so many people end up forehead-deep in debt?

cut your excessive income in half, save half of it for unforseen emergency expenses, invest the other half in whatever you like, potential return investment, alternative hobbies, commissions, etc.

This feeling sucks, I have a friend who is me, but has like 5 kids in 6 years and he has time for nothing anymore. I know I'd be exactly like him if I let myself loose. I love video games too much.

>>323260478
He's hopped along various jobs. Right now he does some sort of customer service for a cosmetics company or something along those lines, I'm still not even sure.

It'd be even better if I actually doing good in comp sci. It's not a coincidence that everyone and their mother try to get into it nowadays, and of those who do a good chunk of them drop out cause of the math. I'm still taking a couple courses per semester but honestly deep down I'm just kind of stalling time.

>>323260820
It's just a crazy thought I get sometimes when dumb people happen to talk about their dumb tech problems and make me think I could fix it in a couple minutes. It's not something I plan to do at all, just a thought that sometimes crosses my mind.
I know about tech support being mostly google searching as well. Obv I wouldn't end up using it as a crutch, but if there's something a bit more in depth it most likely is a search away.
All in all, the job wouldn't be to keep myself fed, just to have money of my own. It's commonplace to hear kids getting allowance and shit but I actually never had that, and have always relied on my parents buying things for me. Last year I got around 70 bucks total to spend on myself from my dad, the rest went into college stuff, bus rides, all that stuff.
Still, at my age I already feel bad to have everything handed in a silver platter so I should really stop being so goddamn lazy.

I'd honestly be fine living in a small apartment and only spending money on food, alcohol, music and PC shit. My only activity besides vidya is running, and I'm fine with that.

Great land for dirt cheap, can own a nice two story house and 50 acres for less than a 2 bed 2 bath condo in California.

Fullfil your contract like it's your bitch and when the feel like it's time to move on, earn enough "fuck you I quit" money, find a you new job and leave.

There are plenty of ways.
You can buy old systems to play old games that don't work on new machines and for nostalgic feel. For example, PC-98 or Pentium 200-based PC.
You can get simulation setups, some can cost you a fortune.
Or you can just upgrade what you already own. Buy another PC, 6 monitors, good sound system, rent a server.

Dont feel too bad about your parents helping you out with college shit. Your parents love you enough or at the very least tolerate you enough to help you out, and have the means to do so. I know tons of people that want to go to school, but just dont have that helping hand to make it happen. Just make sure you pay it back and help them out someday.

Honestly, if its not crucial, the job doesnt have to be good, it just has to pay. The other benefit to having the job is having the workplace experience on your resume when you try for a job in your field. Its not going to guarantee you that dream gig, but it does give you a slight advantage over the other kids in your graduating class. The saying I keep hearing is "Its easier to find a job when you already have one." If things go tits up and you cant take it anymore, or need to quit to focus on school, DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT walk in and quit. Give some kind of notice before doing so, two weeks is best, but anything is better than nothing.

The problem I have with Alaska is a lack of high speed internet. There's a very careful balance to be found of at least having cable and access to civilization and being isolated enough to be comfy

I was looking into Montana, personally.

i'm hoping to move to montana after my s/o gets their career mobilized. land is fairly cheap in america in non metro areas. you can regularly find 100 acres for 25k, perfect for remote off-grid. or residentially zoned ~10 acres for the same price.

compared to the $300/acre land was in the 80s, it's certainly a step up in prices, but it's still relatively inexpensive imho. you could get 10 acres of woodland away from other people with some landscape eyecandy in a somewhat popular state with internet connection and a small log cabin for ~$100k

How is your health? Are you getting enough sleep? Is your diet balanced? Sometimes all you need its to normalize your diet and exercise to get a big energy boost. Im not saying you need to go all /fit/ about it, but maybe just lay off the junk food a bit and do a 5 minute jog once every other day.

It's very demanding from what I've heard. I imagine deadlines and weather being the big factors. Apparently the pay is very high (45k+/- 10k), more than I expected.

Getting a job at UPS can be difficult, you usually have to know someone or apply for a seasonal job to get in but my military background helped me a lot.

Your best bet is waiting for a seasonal job opening as a drivers assistant during the holidays (Christmas to be precise).

If you do very well they will hire you as a full time as a warehouse worker, after a year or two you can opt for the training to become a driver.

It's a very physically demanding job however, you have to be able to lift up to 70 lbs and I generally deliver an average of a 100 packages a day, the holidays are even more intense but the overtime is amazing and the driver assistants help a whole lot.

Use this to get started

>>323265826
If you live in a snowy area ya you have to be in the cold

There are deadlines and other rules but you are pretty much just out on your own doing your own thing at your own pace. There is overtime etc. as well. Postal workers are unionized too, so its pretty secure once you put in the initial time and are turned regular.

If you are someone who doesn't mind the outdoors and would like being on your own during the day, it might be worth looking into

average is 700 a month

not him, but you can learn everything you need yourself and get a job right away regardless of a degree. you just need to be competent at what you're doing.
