So be me fairly young guy
>just turned 18. I had a job for the past year recently quit.
>Made just above minimum wage.
>I roughly made around 12k a year.
>first job as well
Here's the thing, I spent money like crazy, mostly on unnecessary crap. My girlfriend is trying to help me save money because I spend it so much. And I'm already set up for a new better job. But I don't want to spend as much as I did prior because I'm looking into moving out in the next year or so.
Any advice on how to save?

Pay yourself first. Decide how much you will set aside from each paycheck after calculating your expenses, then set up your bank account to automatically transfer that amount into another account when your paycheck gets deposited. Out of sight, out of mind. This helps prevent you from spending the money you want to save.
Also, you may want to start only carrying cash. It can be very easy to rack up the transactions on a debit or credit card. With cash, you have to physically hand over the money which can make you more aware of how much you are spending. Plus, you can allot yourself X amount of money to have on hand and make that the extent of your spending money.

Well, I generally get paid about 300-400 dollars every two weeks. So roughly 800 a month. I pay my necessary items first, which in this case is just my phone bill 48 a month. Plus I take my gf out on dates. I'm thinking I take out 40 every pay check and save the rest? Pay my phone first and afterwards take the money out. Does that seem like a good way to do it?

So I'm just gonna say. I fucked up. I got really drunk last night. When my wife got home she told me we had a very long discussion. She only mentioned one thing in particular that I told her about. She asked me again this morning and I confirmed that particle thing. She said we discussed d other things in my drinker state but wouldn't get specific. There's no telling exactly what I may have said, but she doesn't seem terribly concerned right now. There were only two things in particular she was concerned about, and both items seemed benign. I want to know what other things we discussed but I don't want to ask. What do you think about this situation? Am I worrying for nothing?

A good female friend of my girlfriend of ~9 months is getting married in mexico (I am in midwest USA) in january.
In order for me to go, I'd have to miss 3 days of the 2nd semester of school.
It would be really cool to be in mexico and party/vacation for 3 days and see a beautiful wedding. However, I'd have to pay airfare/hotel there and miss school in the 2nd week (when content actually starts getting taught).
What should I do?

Definitely do it. 3 days of school is like nothing. And you get to see an awesome wedding and party in Mexico. Definitely going to be a trip to remember, so do it up.
>>
>>17520353
my issue is its right at the start of the semester, when content is being taught. i'd be behind from the start.
>>
>>17520392
It's still early stuff, so I wouldn't fret it. And it's 3 days. You can study up a bit harder and make up for it. Honestly, not even going to be a problem if you can bother to read a bit extra when you get back.

Rejection is not worth being afraid of.
I have just told you literally the only thing PUAs have ever said that is not complete bullshit. You can safely ignore the rest.
>>
>>17520336
>how legit is PUA?
It's bullshit. Better to read up on general social skills, they come without the bullshit.
>also, what skills can help me pickup girls (knowing a language, play a music instrument, literature, film)?
Having a skill only works if you're really passionate about it. You are not some movie character. Find something you actually think is interesting, something related to a childhood hobby or whatever, just something that sparks your interest and gain that skill. Force yourself to practice, get better at it. Gives you something to talk about, and it'll be real. People see through that crap when you're only learning shit to get in their pants or impress them.
>>
>>17520344
This.
Skills to have to meet girls though. Be confident. Remember FORD for conversation if you get stuck talking about stuff (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams). Avoid RAPE (Religion, Abortion, Politics, Economy).
Honestly confidence is like 99% of the game. If you don't fear rejection/make a big deal of it, it'll be a lot easier.
My car can pass inspection but won't start after the inspection does that mean that any repairs done to the car will usually be small or cheap?

Bumping once.

Get a job so at the very least you're not idle and you're saving money. Doesn't have to be a good job, literally any job is better than no job. And it'll also get you some time away from invasive, addicting video games.
>>
>>17520290
I am also not very good at anything or have many hobbies, interest, or motivation. I get by day to day, many are just boring and shit but whatever. I hate School so much, I have no idea what I want to do either.
How do I go to a church for help?
I'm not religious but I don't know where else to go without spend money that I don't have.
Will they be able to help me?

They'll try, but a lot of the help they offer is going to be predicated upon belief. They won't force you to believe or anything, but you might not find the things they say to be compelling.

Is there anything they'll turn you away for?
I know nothing about churches.

Hello
I went to prostitute at the weekend.
I never had occasion to visit sort of place.
It was so fake and i could not do it but this person was trying.
I had a very long brake in relationships and i had depression.
I think that this person was feeling very bad about this.
I do not even remember what happened there it was all so fast.
This person was o drugs.
I crushed there thinking about that maybe i could help her or persuade to stop but i was trying to use her and i feel quite bad.
This is a long story.
On the other hand it was just a prostitute.
What do you people think about calling this person and talking about normal life ?

>>17520138
She felt sorry maybe they all feel like that.
Maybe simple call with questions how are you going would help.
I could not do it but i had stay till the end.
I crushed there asking and talking about her job.
What would you like to know better ?
Sup 4chan, so about a year ago I was worried and sad about not having friends like any pubescent teen would. I'm over it now and I still have no friends, but now I have no desire for social interaction at all and that is bothersome to me. It's not depression as I'm actually a happy guy. I just want to know if this kind of situation has a name so I can work against it.

Occasionally my girlfriend play video games together. She prefers racing because it's easy and she likes it.
It's happening more frequently now but sometimes when she's on a dirt road or whatever. The controller vibrates, she then holds the vibrator up to her vagina and she sort of stops paying attention to what she's doing
How can I get her to cut it out?

help her find the vibrator calibration options, she'll probably quit playing vidya completely.

everyone knows you dont have a gf, OP

either turn off the vibration controls or just fuck her with the wiimote next time she does it
