Details: where do you live?

IBR

Florida Panhandle. Panama city area.

Already on IBR. I'm more concerned with increasing my income so I can pay it off faster, or just not live in abject poverty, that would also be nice.

this society is unfortunately closing in on having no options for people like you, other than the choice between abject poverty and political revolution.

In the meantime think in terms of unexpected solutions - I've taught myself some farming/gardening skills, for example, and it lowers the hell out of food bills. If nobody will give you work, make your own.

You have for 500 dollar bills? What.. If it's with rent you pay incridibile little and if it's without you pay way too much!

Who do you live with? The easiest way to cut expenses is to just take on additional roommates. Consider finding a room in a rental house, either with college kids or people your age. Pack 4-5 people in a house and your costs will be incredibly low. The houses that come up for rent around my area are at least 4 people capable. Last one I was in, 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 bedroom in the basement. I was paying about 300 in rent, another 50 at most in split utilities.

Also, part time is not acceptable. I don't know if you're doing that because you're kinda lazy or you just can't find a job that gives you full time hours. Whatever the reason. You need to be working at least 40 hours a week. If you can't find a full time job, then you need to pick up a part time job.

I suggest looking into security gigs (for example, Securitas is a company that has guards drive around apartment communities checking for trouble), night shift stocker jobs, etc. Those tend to offer full time hours because less people want to do those jobs.

No matter what your living situation, full time is absolutely critical. The more hours you work, the better.

My only expenses are food, rent, and phone. No car. I have multiple room-mates, and I really want to move out, but it's not a viable option on my budget right now.

Unless I want to just eat rice.

Job is part time because it's all I managed to get. I moved here recently, and due to no-car my job opportunities were limited to walking distance. I'm very close to buying a beater to drive around in, so that's why I need to look at job options, because yeah part-time is shit and sporadic.

I know Securitas, they're the guys who do security at the Callaway walmart, big ol' shithole that it is.

(All is in dollars)
Rent for four roomed apartment = 715 a month
Bills like insurance, to me my home and my three dogs and phone bills = 95 a month
And i still have about 1700 left
I only go to school and don't work right now, i am saving for a drivers licens.
I'm not fom america... But something is wrong with your country. I can afford children with no problem and i'm not working.
In 4 months when i get my car i'll have about 2900 after i've paid my bills and that is just by working half time four times a week...

No bus system in your city?

If all you can do right now is walking distance, and you have no access to public transit, I suggest taking your resume to every business within walking distance and filling out any and all applications. Just take anything you can get, whether full time or a 2nd part time job. Stay long enough to afford a vehicle, then bail and move on to something that pays better.

There are some privatized buses, they run weird places at weird times. They're mostly from the projects to liquor stores.

Yeah well I'm a few steps away from reforming american economic standards. Maybe next year.

How about a bike? You could likely get a decent one off Craigslist for 100 or less. Or just go all in on a nice new one. Few hundred at most.

That would expand your job reach quite a bit.

>>17488598
Yes but i live far out and it's too complicated to get a job without a car, and i'm not in a hurry anyway i live amazing

>>17488609
I'm like 2 paychecks away from a car.

Just assume I have one. I'm more interested in:

-How do I find jobs that don't pay ass?
-How do I succeed at getting these jobs?
-Are there jobs that don't pay ass that'll look good on a resume?

Manufacturing jobs typically pay a bit more than minimum wage, and are often full time (usually with room for overtime).

Janitorial stuff is usually a bit more than minimum wage, sometimes full time sometimes part time.
