Why aren't you rich /fit/?

>>39635444
because im stupid and lazy

>>39635444
I am. I'm also obese. Also, not /fit/ related.

>>39635444
Because I love the freedom I have as NEET. Ever working makes me work-able and will no longer let me get welfare.

Because I can't get a job.

>>39635515
Basically this. Also terrified of other people and can't deal with any kind of stress. Hard to get rich when you cower in your room all day.

>>39635444
Because I love my job teaching highschool western civ., British lit, and civics as well as coaching track and field.

Because I only make 50k a year and don't know how to make more.

I should probably go back to college

>>39635444

I got a MA in philosophy.
Surprisingly I dont find a job :^)

>>39635444
Because my mom got hooked on coke when my dad left us and she spent my 90k college fund. Now I work 40-50 hours a week on 8.05/h starting college next year, I'm gonna try amateur fighting while in college and if I can't make it then i'm joining the Air Force for that steady job/retirement at 45.

>>39635778
You can start a business under someone else's name. Someone that would never fuk u over.

On my way.
Owning a startup for half a year and trading stocks for over 4 years.
Actually making some decent financially gains.

>>39636787
All guy catholic school senpai

Graduating with a good resume and a degree in CS this May, starting the hunt for my first job as a Software Engineer, then it begins

>drop out 9th grade
>NEET ever since (got GED)

Ok so here's my choices now:

1) Get low-paying wagecuck job

Won't pay enough for me to move out, won't pay enough for me to afford a wife/children.

The only motivation I have to leave the NEET lifestyle is if I'm able to get sex and have children.

2) Go to college or trade-school

I will leave tens of thousands in debt, probably unable to get a job afterwards, and even if I do it may be automated out in the future.

>>39636781
I'm a rigger at a shipyard. 84 hour weeks with a 14/7 schedule. It's not so bad, but I was just dropped into it from my dispatching job in the same place doing much less work.

I need to pay off my damn truck and save up. College wasn't hard but I started enjoying alcohol more than going to class.

>>39635444

I'm not rich, but I have a decent paying job.

My gains are also okay for the average guy.

But I still have no gf so.......meh.

If I want to get things started as entrepreneur I would rather keep it legal.
>tfw you want to make money by publishing a book but can't because the chance of losing welfare is too high.

>>39635444

Because I'm comfortable in my middle class middle management job and don't want to go through the rollercoaster that is opening a business.

My wife is set on leaving her job by the middle of next year and opening a small B&B/wedding venue. I'm on board with it, but it's not the kind of business that will make us wealthy.

>>39636827

Trade school is a solid option, m80.

>>39635515
This. Also don't have enough confidence to believe I can get anywhere. I've started a lot of things, just never finished one.

>>39635444
b/c I'm stupid and lazy. I like hookers and beer more than I like being rich.

I majored in mathematics at a classy university and now I make over 100k a year starting. I'm also a video game streamer in my free time with a huge following.

>>39635444

Besides doing shit I don't want to do for extended periods of time, which is a no-go

>>39635444
I wasn't born rich and my parents don't have connections for me to get a good job

I'm 34 and make minimum wage and been at the same workplace for 15 years

>>39638028
My household annual income is nearly $200K, I live in a cheap city, and I don't feel rich at all

>>39636703
>50k a year

If you need more than that you're living way above your means man, I make 23k a year and live comfortable as fuck because my rent is only 850 a month

>>39638510
>this humblebragging bait

>>39636827
U wot? Every job is able to afford living on your own that why there is a minimum wage, I make 390 a week and live on my own and I always have enough for food and rent and my rent is 975 every month

>>39638112
How the fucks that meme? I work 70 hrs a week and bring home 650$ after taxes

Because I'm not selfish and I don't need to work more than 20 hours a week at 13 dollars an hour to afford my lifestyle

>tfw rent is 250 a month
>tfw rest of my income is for opiates and food

Im living the dream you selfish wage slaves working 30 or more hours a week just so you can have a fancy house and eat rich people food lmao while I get high and work 2 days a week and love my job

I didn't invest in a home gym. :^(

>>39638545

Every time I go out to better myself or help others e.g. get a job, socialise, charitable work etc. I just make more people angry towards me.

Yeah I wasn't born into wealth and didn't get a fancy job from my family, it's not what you know it's who you know in this world

>>39638581
Have you considered that maybe you are just bad at communication and tend to sound like an asshole IRL?

>>39638591
My parents are immigrants from the soviet bloc. We had nothing growing up. I made it here myself.

Quit making excuses for your failures and fucking engage with the world, anon.

>just turned 25 years old
>father left me 60k investment portfolio when I turned 21
>make $18/hour 40 hours a week, live with parents and pay them $600/month in rent
>have another $50k in my life savings that I've added most of it to the investment portfolio as well
>parents could also pay entire college tuition (i worked part time to pay for everything else)

I guess with over $110k in my name and no debts, I would be considered rich for my age right now, but it doesn't matter because I'm a complete aspie friendless kissless permvirgin shut-in loser so I save the rest of my money.

I would much rather be my age and only have maybe a few thousand dollars in savings but have friends, have a girlfriend, have my own place, basically live a normal life, than to be in the situation I'm in now.

And while I could go to grad school and make like $35-40 an hour (like I'm uspposed to do), I just have no motivation due to how shit my life is

>>39638605
I work 70 hours a week I'm not a NEET, I work hard for my money and live an enjoyable life because I like my coworkers and getting paid to workout.

it's the day off every week that I don't like because it's boring as fuck when I'm not working

>>39638620
Nobody needs more than 18 an hour, I make 11.50 an hr and live pretty damn good, I'm currently drinking a beer waiting for my chicken to cook in the oven in my own place that's heated and has electricity. I fucking made it in life

>>39638636
Iktf bro I make 12.35$ an hour and am happy because there is people in this world literally eating bugs and drinking dirty water just to survive that would love to be in my place in life

>>39638595

Oh definitely thats one of the things. I've been reading on people skills and communication books and have been going to groups similar to toastmasters.

But then when I have to use it in public it just goes to shit in my head then my mouth.

The one thing good about it though is that it makes me a good listener because I keep my mouth shut.

I have no excuses for who I am. And I don't blame people. Just gotta improve. Maybe when I'm 40 I'll be a normal member of society.

>>39638591
DO NOT LISTEN TO LEFTIST PROPAGANDA

I'm not rich but I don't need anymore than I already have

>apartment that's 950 month rent

What more could I need? I'm not lazy so I don't need a car and I make enough that I can call a cab if I have something to bring home that I can't carry on my bicycle

>>39638721
Everyone has their own definition of making it and IMO making it is when your happy and content with life and you sound content brah congrats

>tfw just purchased some nomos random watxh cause it looked good
>tfw second fitting at gieves and Hawkes on Monday

Bit super duper rich, but I'm comfortable.

>>39635444
OP, I have a 119 I.Q. but grew up with a severely mentally deranged mother, then her equally fucked in the head mother, my grandmother, while my three aunts, my mothers sisters, didn't give a fuck about me. I was left alone with these evil rotten fucks and only when I turned 25 did I tell them all where to fucking go and haven't spoken to any of them since and my life is better for it..

It took me a few years to figure things out for myself as I was stunningly ignorant, having never received any advice or help from anyone, especially my worthless family.

13 years later, I'm 38 now, married and quite content with something resembling a career while also going to school so I can get qualifications in my chosen trade to improve my skills and make better money.

I'm not rich or good looking but I've worked hard, suffered and came out in the sunshine at the end of the tunnel. It's never too late until you're dead!

>>39638755
>tfw got a watch 2 weeks ago for 11.95 and it does the same as your watch

stay stupid rich man

>>39638721
do you live in america or specifically new york?

>>39638774
No I live in ontario canada

Being rich is incredibly subjective.

I make £65k basic and nearly double in bonus, but I feel so poor when I see the others I work with.

>>39636827
15 years ago I was exactly where you are now. Firstly, pick a trade, something that's not math/science heavy like welding. If you can build or fix something you can get work. Sure, you may have to go into debt but its either that or low paying wage slave jobs forever. Don't let the fear of debt keep you back.

>>39638783
fucking torontonians, you idiots are always causing traffic on your fagcycles

>>39638721
This is the attitude that I like in people....... nobody needs a fucking fancy car or 100 dollar meals every night or a 4 bedroom house with a jacuzzi and all that fancy shit to be happy

I make 18k a year and I'm happier than friends who make 90k+ a year because they're always stressed the fuck out

>>39635444

Because the Jews have enslaved my countrymen.

>>39638808
I live in Madoc ontario not Toronto. I'd kill myself if I lived in a place that populated

>>39638006
That's not a bad option providing that you specialize in something that is applicable to the outside world. I considered the army a few times but always bailed at the last minute because I always got this creepy sensation about how I noticed that everyone I encountered in the military didn't have a sense of humor. Just something off about those people.

>>39638316
Don't fall into that "be your own man" bullshit. Your parents worked hard and have laid out life on a silver platter for you. Be glad that someone wants to set you up for a comfy life because virtually 99.99% of us here would have killed for that growing up.

>>39638836
Why do you need anymore than you already make? I don't get people these days...... more is not always better

>>39638316
I'm on the same boat as you, but my predicament is that the business that they want to give, is what made them "Americans", but it's a double edged sword, since every single day they come home absolutely destroyed and sick. How do you balance your health, vs business when you can only choose one.

>>39638620

Try living my life at 11.25 an hour with 875 dollars a month rent

I earn about $20,000 a year. The only reason I have a woman is because she's from poor as fuck Russia and counts her blessings that I'm not an alcoholic and can afford to feed & house us + a bit of leisure/domestic tourism.

She wants kids but I dunno how the fuck I will buy a proper house and feed them.

>>39638873
Welfare is fun you idiot you don't even have to work and they give you 650 a month

Almost all my friends are on welfare living the dream, they sleep until 4pm everyday and have no responsibility

>>39638524
Isn't the point of this thread to brag? If I was trying I would have just done it. I have three kids and seriously don't feel rich. Rich to me is having money to do whatever you want when you want to.

>>39635444
22k at 21 years old with no debt. Am I decent?

>>39638904
You've fallen into the money buys happiness thing brah, I make 18k a year and support my gf and I just fine and we're happier than my friends who are wealthy. ....... more money more problems isn't just a saying it's the truth and we are in a lot better shape than our friends because we walk everywhere and they drive a car

>>39638895
That's just fucked. Get a damn roommate or a cheaper dwelling. I don't even know how a person can do that apart from working 45+ hours a week.

>>39638864
I live near the capitol and prices here are ludicrous. houses in good areas are hitting the 1+ million dollar mark. I also want to support my brother in his college journey. Plus I want to afford a house before 35 and a nice car at 30.

You're doing great I make 980 a month and I'm turning 39 in January. I rent a room for 500 so I have 480 a month to do whatever I want with bro

>>39638878
Maybe I just feel entitled or driven to make over 6 figures at the end of my career. Just started as an analytical chemist after graduating college making 50k a year. I feel average as fuck and I'm considering going to grad school to make more money. Not sure if its worth my time though.

>>39638924

You don't need more money you're just greedy like 90 % of people these days. Be happy you aren't eating fucking bugs and living in a mud hut ffs

I'd do that if I could man but my job only allows is 40 hours a week and I bring in 415 a week, I'm comfortable but I wouldn't mind being able to buy a car before I'm 50, I'm saving 30 dollars off each pay a week so it's gonna be a while before I can buy a car outright

Master degree is good.In my profession the max salary you could reach in bachelor was 70k. But with my master the max is like 100K-110K. Plus more room for promotion. Masters degrees are great in modern day. Except for buisness.

Iktf bro I have a savings account with 350 dollars in it but it's taken me almost 2 years to get it up that high

>>39635444

>too intelligent to work for consumerist lifestyle

My grants/income already fund my lifestyle. I'm a 21 year old University student, who has been trading stocks since 16 (made 11K this year so far).

Once I graduate, I'll probably just leech off my parents and keep trading. Maybe I'll try to make money on the internet.

>>39639019
Nobody needs more than 70k a year..... are you trolling? What kind of selfish fucks needs more than even 40k a year?

Rent is maximum 2k a month therefore you have plenty left over to have fun with

Look man, you probably haven't had it easy, but not everyone who does well has had it easy either.

bruh just ditch the chem degree and go straight for CS. I just graduated and feel lucky that I found a chemistry related job at a pretty good company. The thing is i'm only starting off at around 50k. Most likely need to go back to grad school to make 6 figures. With comp sci you only need undergrad to make like 65k-80k. I think around 80k is the ceiling for a bachelors in CS though.

>>39639039
Im trying to make enough money to support my other brothers (2) through college. And also trying to fuel my dream of having a nice house and car. Probably because I was raised astronomically poor, Also bullied in highschool and want to make them eat shit in the reunion.

>There is no better quality of life other than a roof over your head and food to eat everyday

I'd prefer better tasting food and the ability to finance my hobbies, Ivan.

That's not how the world works, anon. The more monetary value you can contribute or in demand that your skills are, the more you are worth. I am in sales so I literally talk for a living. Better yet, I am a sales manager so I don't even really sell to guests anymore...I help other sales people make more money by improving their sales skills. I made $120K last year. This year I got a $12K raise because I am really good at what I do and a competitor tried to lure me away so my employer bumped my pay.

That said, nine years ago I was in the Army and was in combat making a third of what I do now. Which do you think was physically harder? Fair or not, become invaluable and earn what you're worth.

trying to get into dental school so when i get out i can make > 100k a year. By that time maybe I'll have a plan for how to get "rich"

Not sure if you're still hear reading this, but I was in your exact position too. Went to a trades school at 20, the diploma was just a two year thing basically for software engineering. Finished it and did pretty well, and got into a good university, after that I got a job and now I'm working at a pretty good place and probably going back to finish a masters or possibly a phd in the future.
Don't give up, just try finding a good trade school to get in, the one near me accepts pretty much anyone and has a pretty good reputation for getting people employed, all I had to do was pass a grade 10 Math and English equiv test and both were pretty easy.

That said, I still get pissed when I see someone doing better than me and set my sights to catch them.

I'm doing ok. My car got totaled in a hit and run last week. It was all paid off last year, but I got 9k in insurance money to apply to a new Subaru Outback. I've owned a house that I sold a year and a half ago to move to a new area and I'm 25.

>>39639228
lmfao most people on fit already have that at 14

you are so far behind dude fuck off this board

>>39639217
Growing up I was middle class until my father had a massive heart attack when I was ten. At that point he couldn't work and the insurer his employer argued over whether it was work induced or not, meanwhile neither paid the bills. We thus lived at near poverty levels until I was 18 when I joined the Army.

You may be happier, who am I to argue?

>>39636764
Why not join for 3 years get out and work part time and get paid to go to college on top of them paying for all your college stuff? Military retirement is trash as fuck not worth it imo at least for everything I do and how much I work. I get out in 87 days though :')

>>39639246
Middle class is wealthy, if someone in your family has a car are far from poor

>>39639265
Middle "middle" 50th percentile

Middle is suppose to be average. Not wealthy.

>>39639265
Even West Virginians have cars, anon. We lived in the country. Everyone had a car, otherwise you couldn't survive.

>>39639213
For some reason I know it's impossible but I insist on trying.
I must be insane.

>>39639228
what is your masters degree in? and what do you do for a living

>>39639107
Indeed.

>Master's degree

Somehow, I'm skeptical

>>39639399
I started uni at 16, if anything I'm behind.

>>39639485
If true, I'm impressed, good for you.

>>39639077
senpai I am halfway through the degree and feel like I can finish it because I like chemistry
I think I will get a CS degree so that I can earn cash while I study chem as an interest.
I tried chemical engineering but the first course was fucking boring and I dont think I can put in so much effort to get a job which isnt even in the city (I am in umn tc btw)
thanks

...I get $45/hr as a research scientist at my day job and charge $90-120/hr when contracting. I'm considering changing roles at work to allow me to move into the next pay grade which is ~$52.5/hr and comes with a 2-year increase up through $60/hr based on performance. For me it's not so much about the money all the time, but you got to chase the challenge. It's the same reason I drag my for-for-American fatass to the gym and pool.

You say cardio ruins gains, but I'm on that hedonistic treadmill like a motherfucker.

>he does work in sales

>>39638112
I wish. I'm from deep south Louisiana. Ever since oil prices tanked, all of the companies around here started pushing massive layoffs or they went bankrupt. Those of us remaining got hit with minimum 10% pay cuts. I'm only making $12.50 an hour now and I'm definitely one of the lucky ones to have even that.

If it weren't for the hard economic times I'd still be working as a dispatcher earning about $65k a year working 7/7. Such is life. I'm not bitter. But there isn't much time for cooking and gym working 12 hour days 45 minutes away from home.

If anything I count it as a blessing because it's finally pushing me to save my money and get out of this sinking ship of a job field.

>>39635444
How senpai?

>>39635797
I know this pain senpai. Got one now, but fuck being unemployed for a year really fucked with my feeling self-worth. Now that i have a job I feel I'm underemployed, but I have lost a lot of confidence with regard to interviews/assessment days and I'm annoyed the my lack of sucking the corporate jew's sack has fucked with me as a person. I thought I was better than that. Guess not. See you in Synagogue senpai

Im 24 and i dropped out of highschool because i had severe agoraphobia through my teens, had no dad, and my mom worked too much to monitor me.

I dont know where to go with my life from here so i live off of welfare. Im pretty unhappy and trying to change, ive taken baby steps to get my ged, despite how afraid i am, but all i do is doubt myself and self sabotage. Literally teared up posting this.

Im happy so many of you anons made it. Genuinely.

Liftan, vidya, reading, im a pretty big book worm. I love stories, of all kinds. i wanted to be a writer, but i have no idea where to start or how to turn that into a realistic venture.

>>39635444
Because I make about 1500 bucks after taxes a month and I live in comfynavia so I get student grants and paid education with no required attendance so I can spend a lot of free time on self improvement and personal project

22 got one year left of bachelor. I think my outlook is great but the future still scares me.

We're all gone make it lads I promise

Earn £20k 1 year out of uni.

Extremely fun as far as jobs go though and the hours are good for going to the gym.

>>39642650
Read Mastery by Robert Greene and then read good books about writing books. Find them on amazon first, download them second, read them see if they're good then go on and actually buy them. Nothing beats paper. I don't know shit about writing but if it's like any other trade then you'll need to break it down into baby steps, master the fundamentals, and then put in the hours until your world view is shaped by your trade.

Shouldn't be too hard, enjoy yourself.

Investment banker. 1 year out of college. $85k base, $90k bonus. Feels good brehs

>>39642650
Legimitely got sad reading this, anon. I have a cousin who has agoraphobia and some people won't get it, but I understand how rough that shit is and how real it feels.

Becoming a writer is gonna be a big leap of faith, but if that's genuinely what you love, please pursue it. Don't let your inner demons beat you, breh. Start with what
>>39642674 said and immerse yourself in that field. You could also try /lit/ for advice, not sure how much of a dumpster that board is, maybe leddit?

Door to door salesman here. I make $275 per appointment I schedule for free roof estimates. I make roughly $1k a week working 8-12 hours but I'd like to move up in the sales world. What's my next step?

>>39642969

school or kys

>>39642994
Additional schooling seems unnecessary imo. I feel as though I'd learn more with an apprenticeship or internship, the skills would be much more applicable than whatever college could provide.

>>39635444

MS in Statistics. 1 year program that cost me 14,000 because I moved to Canada for a year. Moved back to the US and had four job offers waiting. Took the one which pays me 115k plus stock options. I work 35-45 hours a week.

>>39635444

>>39643123
That sucks for you, I can't imagine that. I make 3 grand a week and work about 35 hours a week, college dropout. >>39643039
>>39643039
If you're doing well in sales, stick with it. You have two choices, become better and more efficient at what you are selling OR sell a bigger ticket item and earn larger commissions.

What's nice about what you're doing now is it is relatively stress free and it has a quick turn over, selling bigger ticket products or services usually have a longer/more involved sales cycle.

I'm a student working my way through college and the only job I've found in two years of searching that fits my incredibly restrictive schedule pays a dollar over minimum wage.

>>39635444
I'm sitting at 140k debt with another 100k on the way. Thank god for medical school.

>>39644297
get it

even if you only do a single shift a week, you NEED a job history to get vac work/ grad jobs

>>39638316
I don't get this mindset

A family friend has businesses worth >£50m easily, possibly much more (he's quiet about it) and his kids want nothing to do with it (both early 20s) even though he desperately wants to train them to take over. Sure, he works hard but the kids would have to work hard in the careers they're pursuing too. It's not like it's one large business in a specific field either, he has property, factories, construction firms and all sorts. I can only assume they will come to their senses soon. To someone from a middle class family I can't understand why you'd turn down that opportunity.

>>39642681
Do you have any free time? I've heard investment bankers work 80-100 hours a week.

I accepted an offer a Google software engineer intern and will be making 6.7k/month+ 9k stipend next summer

so like 9.7k/month for 3 months, I'll be 21 when I start


>still no gf

>>39645240

also assuming I get a full time offer at the end of my internship ill be making ~110k base + ~40k signing bonus + 180k in stock + small relocation bonus

I have no idea why people major in anything that isn't computer science/computer engineering.

Literally spend 90% of my time on 4chan/twitch/video games/lifting/sleeping

Hire someone trustworthy to help you, so you can work less hours and spend time with family or yourself. You will be the boss afterall.

>>39638591
I know multiple people in my college whose families are on welfare. One guy's dad is an alcoholic who was homeless for a time, and his mother works in a coffee shop. These people are going to be making 40k and upwards in their first year out of college, because they worked hard to get a place in the course. Granted, college is partly state funded where I live, but I still think you're full of shit.

I'm doing CS at the moment. Second Year currently, but I feel fucking clueless. Like, I'm keeping up with class and assignments mostly, but I still just feel like a beginner, and anything more than basic programming challenges are a struggle. I often get pretty anxious about this. I'm also not really sure where to look to learn and improve outside of classes at home, in terms of resources. Am I gonna make it? Did you ever have this feeling?

>>39635444
Because i lack all of the abilities one needs to achieve it. I can't focus on anything for enough time to get very good at it. I'm a complete autist and i lack every social or emotionnal habilities needed to manage a normal human life. I have no friends, no connections. I'm not very good at my job and i simply can't compete with my peers for a job. My income is shit and i live with my mum and my brother. I have to pay insurance because i suffer a bitchy rehumatic desease that causes so much suffering if not treated and the fucking drugs i take to avoid being completely paralized and suffer enormous amount of pain is so fucking expensive. I'm 27 years old and i feel i'm a comlete failure. I've wasted the best years of my life reading about unuseful shit and i'm too tired for starting over.
The only thing i want in life is to have enough money to have a decent humble life with a hot wife and two or three kids. And i can't.

I was invited to an hr phone screen after doing some google coding challenge. Talked to hr and they decided to set me up for technical interviews. Then I had 2 back to back hour long technical interviews, then I had to do a 3rd interview a few weeks later because I guess I was on the fence.

Finally got the offer.

>>39648193

Yes, I had that feeling. Honestly I still feel that way sometimes but I think most CS undergrads do. If you want to have a chance at companies like Google/Facebook/Microsoft and make 6 figures out of college, I suggest practices algorithms on leetcode.com (this will cover technical interviews) and brushing up on your languages on codeacademy.

Because police officers, let alone police recruits, receive a very average wage. Still wouldn't trade it for the world though.

I swear man, if I was just given half a fucking chance I could show these guys how capable and passionate and dedicated I am to making it out of this shit hole "hood" I'm from, and I could show my brown brothers and sisters that there's more to life than drinking and doing drugs and fighting every weekend, that you can actually go places and travel the world and be successful.
