>australia
>10% tax
>20$ p/h wageslave job working in a restaurant

I suppose when I look at it like this it seems pretty good, but it certainly feels like a drag.

Fuck your friends, seriously. Cut them out of your life, and move on. Comparison is the thievery of joy. Worry about yourself and only focus on yourself.

>car register and insure (tax)

Oh yeah, pluses all the section 8 faggots want 29% of my life in the former of hourshit worked.


When you realise theater tax is 50% and hors worked are hours of your life wasted it puts shit into perspective.

Spend 5 hours a day doing shit I don't want to so that bums have a comfy life of weed and vidya

Cannot smoke.
CNN OTHER afford much vidya

Trade another 5 hours of my life doing shit that I don't want to just so I can go home to a shitty house that I bought only to realise the government actually owns it (property tax) to a hateful bitch wife that for some reason I can't bring myself to leave. Let alone afford it.


Anyone got a gun I can borrow and a bullet I can buy?

Even higher since your employer and u split the 15% tax.

Meaning theoretically there should be 7.5% more jobs or more income to u...

If this is true why are you on a North Korean rice exchange site?

>>1661285

I'm not sure what you mean -- if I take my salary / 26 I get the "gross pay" on my biweekly paychecks, and the percentage I posted is exactly net/gross pay.

Are you saying that because of payroll taxes my "gross pay" is technically higher?

Now behold the true Wagecuck:

>13$/hour
>25% tax
>2+ hour commute
>every day I have to guess all the time which dindus and injuns will buy our product and which ones will steal it.
>go home to a cheap basement bedroom with non-white roommates and their stinking food/speaking gibberish on the phone
>2 years ago I was a homeless drifter drunkard, so I guess it's a step up.

already acknowledged that it's my fault but i was in a shitty situation from the start and i know you fuckers don't give a shit either
feel like offing myself if i'm a wagecuck forever

Wagecuck / student here and former NEET

I was wondering if there are any other former neets that know any good resources to become more financially literate. For example, habits that will help you save money in the long term, or perhaps something like a couch to 5k for becoming more aware and more in control of your daily finances/ life..


Podcasts would be preferred so I can listen to them as I work. Good books would be nice too.

I feel like as an engineering student I'm focused on making things work that i don't think about how to take advantage of the things I create.

I used to build pc's for the normies at school and instead of getting paid I would tell myself I'm doing it for a buddy. it never crossed my mind to charge for knowledge that I assumed everyone knew.

TL;DR I feel like Tesla (financially illiterate person being taken advantage of ) and I want to start leveraging what I know to make money but I don't know how too.

To do that I need to change the way I think

Any help would be appreciated

Try harder, negro. don't be one of those piece of shit niggers who comes into my store to steal Henessy or Patron tequila.

>>1661382
Try Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover. Picked a copy up at a library I was browsing on lunch, and it's got some good shit in there. Not a miracle cure, but a great set of rules for getting set up financially.

>>1661393
Good looking out. I'll add that to my list of never ending books.

He is saying that your employer could pay you 7.5 % more if he didn't have to pay the government.
