I just caught my mum watching one of those British TV shows where smug boomers tour around the Spanish countryside looking for villas to buy

I said something to the effect of "these shows are kind of morbid when you think about it" and she asked what I meant, and I said that no one in my generation will ever enjoy that luxury

I mansplained that twenty-somethings now, instead of getting married, working full time, and entering the housing market young and optimistic, are in enormous debt from useless uni degrees, and stuck in a cycle of casual jobs and predatory unpaid internships, which she herself has suggested I look into

She started crying, asked where my apathy had come from, and locked herself in her bedroom.

I think she resents the fact that I actually enjoy being a no-strings-attached wagie because now even that isn't good enough for her and she wants me to find something more serious. She even said to me the other day that I "live in the moment" too much. What? Isn't that the ultimate pearl of normie wisdom?

I want to turn the screw. Anyone got any videos or articles I could use to red pill her?

I think I'll start with the irreconcilably expensive housing in my city (Melbourne) making it pretty much impossible to get a foot in the door

>TL;DR: boomer mum blaming my entitlement on why I can't get a full time job/afford a house. Help me red pill her

Homestly it isn't even just boomers, anyone over 40 does not understand that the world we are trying to get started in in miles apart from the world they got started in. My mom got a paid internship where she literally stereotypically just got coffees and helped with minor tasks in the early 90s. Today my friend has an unpaid internship for the last 2 yeads where they required he had his degree first, they regularly make him utilize it for free and if he refuses unless he is paid (other interns have done this in front of him), his employer just cuts them lose and laughs. Not to mention my mom's internship turned into a better paying job in 6 months, and my friend is still waiting.

Don't even get me started on the fact that blue collar jobs like trades that actually pay well are disappearing and the ones that are left require you to know someone at the company before they even look at your resume.

The thing is, do NOT expect boomers to have any sort of 'revelation' moment. The wealthy in general once they have 'theirs' tend to develop rationalisations, they will tend to forget the degree to which they hated work, etc.

You cannot 'redpill' a boomer on their generational theft any more than you can 'redpill' a woman on how shitty and entitled and repulsive women are collectively.

>No one can even scrape together enough money for a deposit and it's harder every day that passes

Had my entire house (family's, was living there) burn down in 2016. All of my belongings. No insurance.
Had no degree.
Moved to cheap city/state. Worked barely above min wage job for a year. Lotta manual labor. Lived in less than ideal situations for that year. End of year had enough saved to get into an apartment, pushed for as many hours as possible towards end of the year so I would qualify for the 3x amount of rent for income requirement on last two paystubs.

It's doable. It's not easy at all and I hated the time I spent living in bad rental situations/uncertainty of having a place to live, but it is doable. It would've been a lot easier if I didn't have a dog.

My father admitted that he lucked out on being born in a time when two wages could fiance building a house and paying back everything in under 10 years and also being born into a time when having a bad or no job was due to absolute laziness. He also tried to run for mayor in my small mountainside town with a program that favored bringing back businesses and young couples but he got demontaged by a part of his own family behind his back. I pretty much share his disdain for political parties trying to convince working class people that more taxes for rich people and companies is the worst thing that could happen.

Saving money is NOT that difficult, neither is getting into an OK paying job.
Difficulty is in self-discipline to not blow money on luxury items you don't need (most games, expensive computers, etc. are a waste unless this is relevant/useful to your social circle or your job).
Using something like mint.com and keeping track of what you're spending is very useful.
You do not need newer cars. You can buy a decent car for 2-4k.
If rent is over average cost where you're living, you don't need to live there. There are tons of boring flyover states with high job demand because no one wants to live there, and comparatively low cost of rent/living.

If you're doing shit tier minimum wage jobs, you're in the wrong place. There are entry level positions paying $12-$15/hr for various fields. You DO NOT stay in those jobs once you get comfy though. You stay long enough for it to look good on a resume, then start applying elsewhere and keep trying to climb to higher and higher positions within that field. You may take continuing education courses, certifications, etc. to get an edge--but VERY OFTEN you can get in with employers that will pay for these while you're employed with them.

Degrees do seem like a really bad move, though. Sorry if you fell for the meme.

It's harder than boomer gen, but most people are just being.. fucking... stupid. They don't research. They just whine and piss away money.

Because this is your lot in life.
You can whine and trap yourself in feeling like shit, or you can try to get ahead.

You could fairly easily have a home in your 20s if you are smart and responsible, but it really is not advisable to do so unless you have some sort of definite attachment to the area, or a very stable and advancing career. You lose a lot of money on home sales in the event you have to move (and you likely will, or SHOULD)--it is better to rent in most cases.

Games are cheap as anything, they're one of the cheapest forms of entertainment. Are we allowed any form of entertainment in this life, anon? Many of us will never marry or have children, most of us under 40 have watched as literally any hope of love was dashed before our eyes as women were fed into the corporate harems and turned into dull, dead fish. "Expensive computers"? Most of us aren't buying gaming computers, anon, and they're not drastically more expensive than average computers. Literally anyone who wants to survive today needs access to a proper computer AND a smart phone, this isn't a 'luxury', it's literally a requirement - and these are the only things we CAN afford.

What we're complaining about is something that has happened in the past many times, sometimes the laws and standards of a society end up privileging a few at the expense of economic mobility of the many. Or one generation gains an advantage at the expense of another. Here in Australia MOST of any income I get will go to pay rent for decades, because boomers and foreign investment bought up within a framework that allows them to lay back and contribute nothing by exploiting those who do contribute.

Yes. But there are more productive ones in most instances, that should be more of a priority. If it does not relate to your advancement as a person in skill/knowledge, or your social circle, it should be on the bottom rung.

$1,000 for computers for gaming is not uncommon. Many games are very expensive. If you fall into MMOs, you waste a massive amount of money on subscription fees as well.

I leave some room in my budget for games. I allot a small amount to it each month and if I don't spend any on it that month, it rolls over. If it rolls over enough to buy a $60 game, fine. But to regularly and impulsively spend that on nonproductive entertainment, if I am NOT in a position of excess wealth, is not worth it.

The "bawr tfw no wife ill never have love" stuff is just dumb emotional rhetoric. If you're spending all your time playing games alone then yeah, you're odds of meeting someone lower. They do if you piss away money like an impulsive child, too. Who wants to have children with a child?

"Computer and a smart phone" are not that expensive. Phone should be a one time purchase and can last you several years if you're not stupid. You also don't need overpriced data plans -- you need a smartphone's DATA for very few legitimate purposes. You need access to a computer, yes, but a used laptop costing $200 is more than sufficient for any NECESSITY use.
>>
>>39190867

I'm not complaining, though. Personally I feel like I'm much better off having ended up avoiding getting married, and because I realised how rigged the system was early on - I dropped out and became a NEET, and have been living very happily ever since, in large part living off boomers rather than the other way around.

That doesn't stop me from making an observation about the system as a whole. The system should benefit those who actually contribute and work, but the current system benefits those who own property, especially as 'investments'. The whole system is based on forcing those who have relatively little to work for those who already have relatively much. That's not a rational or fair system - and when people recognise that they're being cheated, they do what they can to undermine and override that system. Hence roasties and boomers ultimately get btfo. You should see the looks on the faces of the various post-wall roasties and boomers who can't understand why they're now completely alone and abandoned - because whereas in the past these people would have had the safety and social comfort of children, grandchildren, husbands, boyfriends, etc - now they're left with a cat and BBC crime dramas starring 'empowered' womyn detectives surviving a social wasteland these roasties\boomers created.

oh but anon, the boomers lived in constant threat of nuclear war! Their times were so terrible, I remember one time when my dad was hitting my ass with a stick, he told me how lucky I was that the stick was only 1cm thick and not the 3cm like he used to get! We really are privileged, and the generation after me is even more privileged.

Unironically, the other day, I saw an advertisement saying basically "the children are our future, they're going to solve all the world's big problems". They're literally just planning to pass the burden onto the next guy and hope they can fix it. Every generation after us is going to be progressively more fucked than the last, until a large chunk of humans die.

Antibiotics are barely working as it is, I don't think we'll be able to operate on people in about 20 years time without it being too risky that they'll be infected. All our food is pumped with estrogen to make us more feminine. I genuinely feel like 99.99% of people are going to be wiped out by 2030, because I have reason to believe those who are highest up are planning a culling (likely via virus), which they will enforce once they have the robots required to replace the common man, and the scientists necessary to build them. I am completely desensitized to death. I was born in a world where I'd hear that people are killed for no reason each day. I no longer care when I hear that someone was murdered, or raped, or tortured, it doesn't shock me, I feel nothing and it's awful. This turned out longer than I expected it to be.

Why would anyone willingly agree to that? To work a dead end job with no future, living paycheck to paycheck paying rent to some entitled boomer with 4 homes..

This is why men are dropping out of the race. There's no benefit or privilege to contributing to society any more.

You can pass on more than just a home (that your child will probably end up selling, so again--taking a hit on its cost when it depreciates in value, because you, not being a landlord utilizing professional companies for upkeep and renovation, will likely allow it to fall into some level of disrepair as time goes on and you get old.

You can just flat out leave your kids money, money that you've saved from NOT having to pay home repairs, money that you've EARNED by having the flexibility to move to where there is demand for your skillset for the best pay.

Tbh I mostly just think about leaving my kids books that I've found to be useful and valuable, and whatever good I do for them in raising and teaching them.

The system wasn't rigged for them though. They had strong religious values, so they wouldn't get married until they knew they were in love, because back then, marriage actually meant forever. Today, marriage is equivalent to bf/gf, except the woman has legal power over the man.

I'm starting to wonder if you've ever actually worked or bought a computer.

The way you're talking about 'budgeting' these electronic items, buying cheaper ones, making a phone last 'a couple of years', it sounds as if you're completely clueless. Most of us can EASILY afford those things, saving a couple hundred bucks isn't going to mean shit! The problem we're pointing to is that while consumer goods, electronic entertainment, etc are incredibly cheap, these are the only things we can look forward to.

Most of us want more free time, we don't want to be slaving away forever before we can some sort of basic financial independence. I have a large family, and they weren't upper class or wealthy, but everyone including my own parents were able to buy property in their 20's, certainly by their 30's, and many owned the property outright! My own parents - my dad was an 'intellectual', literally did not have a skill to market, but owned a house when he was my age, and my mother didn't even work! In my generation, SOME parents are able to buy their own children properties, but most people my age are looking at another 20-30 years working before they can fully pay off a house. Much of the financial value of this work is cycled up towards boomers who own the stocks in these corporations - where the only jobs available require very high degrees of training and experience, but pay averagely. There are very few low-skilled jobs even available. In my parents' generation, everyone knew someone who could get them in the door and working somewhere. Today, there's nothing like that - it's all corporate.

Just think about this. Just because you're a normie who marches off and m'lady's into machine gun fire with complete optimism that YOU will survive, doesn't mean we want the same fate.

I've had the same phone for at least 5 years.
A consistent "couple hundred of bucks" (lot more than that, couple = $200, it's more than that annually, along with all the other small details like budgeting food and not wasting it on prepared stuff, takeout, restaurants, etc. it adds up to A LOT--thousands in a short span of time).

I'm in my 20's and should be able to buy property before I reach my 30's.

>There are very few low-skilled jobs even available.

Absolutely untrue. I get emails and contacts all the time about a resume I've been too lazy to take off indeed. There is nothing especially impressive about my resume either.

>Today, there's nothing like that - it's all corporate.
My company offers referral bonuses. Multiple other people I know of either also work for one that offers, have gotten people into their company with these bonuses, or have been invited by a friend/former coworker to take up one of these referral bonuses to move into a better job.

Got paid to sleep a lot at my old job working hazmat. We'd show up at the time the client asked for us, say 6 am, and the client (usually the power company) would ask us to hang out, they weren't ready for us yet. So we'd sleep or play cribbage, usually for 3 to 12 hours, then we'd do our work. The best was when you got boom watch. If there was an oil spill and they had the floating boom used to contain it someone would have to be there at all times. We'd stay in groups of two or three, two people would watch and one would nap for a few hours. If you got that then you'd be on the clock all night and be refreshed enough to work the next day. Nothing like hitting 40 hours and breaking into overtime on a Wednesday morning.

>>39191657
if the city is too expensive, move.
shitty states like arkansas are cheap.

you can save money for a few years while living in an apartment, then buy a few acres. you can build on that land until you have something "livable" to move into + some food production going, then consider building a larger home for children/etc.
"small farm" doesn't need a lot of infrastructure or large structures, because you do not need large livestock. the largest thing you'd probably keep are goats--which are the lowest priority thing to keep. chickens/ducks/rabbits are good stock, more efficient, low effort.
gardening is incredibly cheap unless you move somewhere where seasons demand a greenhouse (or you resort to purchasing from a store for those seasons).

My mom and I both enjoy watching shows like Fixer Upper, because it's reassuring I guess.

It shows how possible it is for people who aren't filthy rich to live in beautiful homes that they bought for a relatively cheap price. As long as they are smart about how they invest their money and are willing to put in some effort.

It's all about not judging a book by it's cover.

land isn't expensive, true, but cheap plots rarely have houses or structures you can live in, you'd need to build it and that's where the costs quickly go up

>>
>>39190883
>What about it is so important?

Several things.

First, the pension schemes that exist today factor in that retirees will own their home outright by the time they begin drawing from the fund. So, if even the pension schemes that exist today don't stretch to include rent, what does it look like in future? Many believe pension schemes won't be around by the time they retire, but even if you don't think that it's hard to see a future where those schemes are stronger than they are today. So what happens when you reach an age where you can't work any longer? If wrong till you drop is ok with you this works out (ignoring the fact few places will hire old people). Otherwise it's an obvious problem.

Second, if working age citizens don't own the housing stock, who does? If rich people, society will divide as it did in the past into the landed Gentry and peasantry. If the government owns the housing, welcome to communism - gulags are probably not too far away. Or how about if foreign citizens own the land? What else is a county than it's land, so you become subsumed into those foreign states.

Third, on an individual level, do you intend to be dependent on continual purchasing from others for the basic elements of survival for the duration of your life? If home ownership is out of reach, this is the reality of your everyday survival. Sure, society as a whole depends on each other and no man is an island, but this amounts to the stripping of agency from every person.

You can build something acceptable for much much less than 150k. Even those little prefab sheds/cabins you see at home depot (which are overpriced because labor) will only run you $5k-$10k.
More of a concern is if the plot already has a well on it, and secondly if it has a sewer/septic tank already. If not, you'll probably have to fork over another $10k up front, in addition to cost of your "short term/small" living structure. It's not too hard to find plots with a well/water already, though, for not a lot of price difference. Depending on zoning you may be able to get away with a lagoon instead of installing septic, too.

You can pay mortgage or pay rent. Difference is that at the end of the mortgage you have an asset, which you can live in, liquidate for money, or leverage for income (rent). At the end of the renting you have no asset and also no money.

This is super simple stuff dude, are you stupid?

I live in Sydney, have a great degree and decent average wage job. Took 4 years of living frugally and foregoing social events to save a deposit for a hole in the wall apartment in a shit suburb that I get to pay off for the next 30 years.

Meanwhile my father 30+ years ago, on a shit blue collar wage saved up for a nice house in a nice suburb in under a year. I think people that say man up, its doable, we're just whiners etc. have the societal version of Stockholm syndrome.

Except boomers didn't build the country. The generation predating the boomers built it, hence why they're referred to as the builders generation. Which is why boomers are the greatest leeches in human history.
>>
>>39191961
Except you're also taking RISKS with home ownership (and responsible for all repairs, upkeep, renovations, etc.), and limiting yourself because you are then stuck in one place, and so limiting your ability to move for better jobs/higher income. It is very likely you will not sell the house for much profit if in 5 years you need to move in order to advance your career, and potentially might even be a loss. You're not going to pay as much for rent as you will for mortgage. At the end of renting, you have that free cash left over. At the end of buying a house, you have that free cash tied up in the house.

It's not BAD to own a home, but it is not BAD to rent either. There is no reason to look at homeownership as a necessity or superior.

over to the red pill part tho

my dad yelled at me every day for a year and called me worthless and did not give me dinner etc because I could not get a job

then he lost his warehouse job and have been without a job for two years now

I agree with this. However I do believe in rentvesting. Rent where you want to live, and buy investments where you can afford. Property purchases should never be driven emotionally.

I feel bad for those people that get attached. If I ever lose my job and can't afford the mortgage because I'm negatively geared, I can flip my property and not give a fuck because I'm renting elsewhere.

I suppose
I am talking about my grandparents, both 70+
But here in Austria those people are the generation that screwed over the people the most, by far
They all got themselves HUGE pensions, which is a giant reason for most of out debt today
They had huge job oppertunities, because the government invested a lot of money (again, which we are paying for today)
They did pay very little taxes back then. A lot of them didnt have many children.
They retired all earlier than 60, but most live until 90+
Obviously enjoy free healthcare, again, paid by my generation
All of them sitting in giant, empty mansions, that are now worth multiple millions

And then they are always wondering why young people are complaining, because back in their day they did not always have "the newest smartphone" or "a big tv".

THANKS GRANDMA, I WOULD HAPPILY TRADE IN MY PHONE AND TV FOR WOMEN THAT YOU COULD ACTUALLY SETTLE DOWN, A JOB ENVIROMENT WHERE I WOULDNT COMPETE WITH MILLIONS OF EASTERN EUROPEANS AND AN OPPORTUNITY TO OWN A HOUSE SOME DAY.
>>
>>39191346
Happened in my town in America. Houses that used to be worth millions on the market we're being sold at a fifth of their price simply because no one could afford paying the taxes anymore and no one else wanted to buy it. It's a bad time to own and sell because very few people actually have the money to cover a mortgage, let alone the taxes. I know I would be able to cover it even if I had my student loans paid off now.

Yes, the biggest of which is the current housing bubble. The exact thing we talking about here. Even if you buy into the market, you may end up sitting on an asset that depreciates, and/or that you can't sell.

>limiting yourself because you are then stuck in one place

Not really. You can sell a house and but buy in a new location. If you end up doing that to soon after you buy, and the market value has not appreciated enough since you bought, you may take a bit on the sale. You have the option there of holding onto the house and renting it, funding your rental at the new location.
>>

loads of women also DIED in childbirth, which is nearly unheard of now

smallpox, which we have a vaccination for now and is basically unheard of

tuberculosis--which is also treated by antibiotics and basically off our radar now

anyone suffering from diabetes, cancer, and other modern illnesses we can (sometimes) handle now were basically screwed then

surgical operations without antibiotics? hahahahahahahahahahahaha. good luck.

i think people are just falling for the trick in journalism/entertainment to make you constantly believe you are on the cusp of some difficult time period.

boomers had a fucking trash life in their 20s compared to us. you can't compare marriage rates or the "housing market" (which you think is just suburban single family units) because we have completely different values culturally. now on the scale of one human being, you are totally free to marry young and get a job in a rising industry which you will keep long term.

if boomers were all so wealthy and carefree and owned villas and yachts, then none of you would have any problems ever in your entire lives you dipshits. if you're born here, that means you have yachts and villas too. if you're not born here, it still means you can find someone with a yacht to be friends with on every street corner. but none of it is true, people are just disagreeing with their parents on certain things like they always have.

I think the best way to deal with the situation nowadays is to be self employed or get profits from underground working market.

There is literally no way you can have a job, survive, afford a house AND a car unless you get into debt like 30 years.

You can finally die happy at 60 (while still working, us millenials will never see pension...) knowing that you fully paid for your house.

I and my generation are solely and totally responsible for these economic and social circumstances, despite the fact that we had 0 impact on public policy and many couldn't even fucking vote up until a few years ago. I am also completely responsible for housing increasing in cost by 200% in cities that still have good jobs left and the cost of education (university tuition) increasing by over 200% while incomes stayed roughly the same.

The older generations which let jobs bleed outside the West and manufacturing/engineering jobs go to China, encouraged globalization, and opened the floodgates to immigration and cheap labor are 0% responsible for the current state of affairs.

Brutal.

Can any boomer justify their one-way drain on the resources of their nation, at the cost of all generations to come after them?
Should a man have to justify his existence or immediately accept death?

I work a minimum wage job, but at least it's a job. However, that does not justify my existence. The workplace doesn't need me. I'm completely disposable.

This is literally a board populated by losers. I don't mean that as an insult, either, that's just how it is. I'm as much a loser as anyone else here. Is boasting about your success to damaged individuals the only way to make yourself feel better? How genuinely pathetic do you have to be that your success alone isn't enough to make you feel good, so you feel compelled to rub it in the faces of people who aren't as well off as you? Are you that insecure?

You fucking idiot. This is one of the biggest problems. It creates over saturation. Getting a degree is at a minimum two year long investment and can go as high as eight or more. The markets change in that time. If everyone says that fudge packing has the best payout right now and needs workers and everyone doing research sees that and goes for it by the time everyone graduates there are to fucking many of them.

You are supposed to fucking do what you love/like/dont hate regardless of current prospects because it creates natural diversification. If you want to do a trade just go to a trade school and forgo college altogether.

Yes. I doubt anyone will give me one. No instead my fucking landlord buys them all up and rents them. The chink whore literally buys a new property a weak.

The same thing is happening here in the US. Last year I had my eye on a unit that was going for 500usd a month. Its been empty a year so I was just watching it to see if it would go down while I waited for my current lease to expire. Then it started going up. By 100usd a month. This was a fucking studio with NOTHING included. When it hit 900 I gave up on it. Then I looked else where and fucking everything doubled. My landlord flat told me to renew I would be paying 400usd more a month for the same apartment. Now I'm living on the edge of the city in a fucking trailer because its literally all I can afford. Best part? My current landlord already told me he will likely raise rates because hes had so many applicants and that any month my rent could go up.

I actually tried this. No one would hire me. I explained I'm looking to move to a job and they flat said they wouldn't even consider me unless I showed up to an interview in person. It was to "prove" I could make it to the job site.

This means I have to at great expense fucking move myself to these places first without an assurance of work. I dont have that kind of fucking money. I cant afford that level of risk even if I did.

Moving is not that expensive.
Do you not get a tax return?
Do you not have any savings?
Sell/get rid of all non-necessities, rent a uhaul to hook to your vehicle (if you have a car, these can have a hitch put on them) to bring all necessities with you to eliminate cost of movers besides bare minimum (ie: moving your mattress--movers can be hired to help move your heavy items out of old place, then into old, for about $50).

You can find work anywhere. It is not difficult unless you live in a town of 20 people.
>>
>>39198308

Bullshit It costs me about 100usd to move across city let alone anywhere else.

>Do you not get a tax return?
Got 300 last return

>Do you not have any savings?
Nope I have about 50usd extra a month. That 50 is what I have to keep myself from going insane and normally it goes to pay the internet.

>Sell/get rid of all non-necessities,
I dont even have anything to get rid of. I dont make enough to be able to buy anything that I could get rid of.

>your vehicle
Cant afford one. If I put that extra 50usd away it would take a number of years just to be able t o buy a clunker.

>You can find work anywhere.
Correct. The problem is that no jobs allow a second job anymore. Also full time does not exist any more. I work at family dollar and I get anywhere from 8 to 25 hours a weak completely random. I must also keep perfect availability. I was told day one if I ever got another job I would be fired. This was not the first job to tell me that.

There are simply TO MANY PEOPLE. When they can hire so many people and give each of them shifts like they do to me and my coworkers while still being able to force complete availability there is no chance to move up.

Even worse? Fucking feminists ruined the one perk of the job. It used to be that your raises were determined by your manager. You could go into a meeting and walk away with a fucking 2usd raise because you work so hard. Now its standardized. Everyone gets the same raise once a year to prevent discrimination. So now I cant even "work hard" to make more money.
>>
>>39198377
>Look at different jobs then. You don't need your "ideal" job right out of the gate. You only need income source until you find more ideal job in the new location.

The problem is a lot of these bumfuck nowhere places only have one job outside of minimum wage shit. There is no where else to get an income source and a gas station wont hire someone out of state. Its a gas station. The bigger cities have people from allover the state because they are the only cities worth a damn in those states. I have to compete with people who already moved to those cities with the faint hope of work. I wont move until I already have a job.

>What field are you in?
My degree is in Criminology.
>>
>>39190922
Same in coastal California. There are decent social services to help the poor survive but no one other than the upper class will be able to afford to get a house here. Inland is still affordable and on-par with the rest of the country but other than like Riverside or Fresno it's very rural and about as hospitable as Inland Australia. I don't have any solution except wait for the population to decrease with Trump's immigration restriction and people moving out. That'll take decades, unfortunately.

>Nope I have about 50usd extra a month. That 50 is what I have to keep myself from going insane and normally it goes to pay the internet.

>Also full time does not exist any more.
Literally every job I've gotten in the last 7 years has been full time unless I specifically looked for part time.

Why did you take a shit degree? College is waste enough but why?
>>

>Why did you take a shit degree?

Because I literally cant do college level math. I have a learning disability that makes statistics and high level math impossible for me. It was not verified until the third year of my enrollment so I salvaged it instead of walking away with nothing. I picked criminology because I assumed that there will always be criminals and thus I can work in a field relating to them.

>Tell me your income vs. expenses.
I make right about 100usd a week after taxs. My rent/electric/water is 350. I split the bills with my roommate. Internet is 80usd only one ISP provider. If I want it that month I have to pony up 40usd.

>Stop working these shitty minimum wage retail jobs.
They are the only ones hiring. Anything more than bare bones minimum wants experience which I dont have. Mostly because I cant afford unpaid internships which are the only internships available for me. I also need perfect availability for what job I do have.

If there are magical jobs that I can just walk into please tell me them so that I can get one.

Fedex for a year. Walmart for 3 months. My best was a resident assistant job. I got two years of management experience, managed budgets up to 10k, had the department charge card, hired 8 people that worked under me, trained them, managed up to 400 students, had crises training, mitigated arguments and disagreements, handled mail. Basically fucking everything that I was told are "key" skills for resume's. No one hired me as I left that job. Nowhere. I was either "overqualified" which yes I had two separate managers tell me that or I was missing some key thing like software knowledge that precluded me.

You can also find a lot of security jobs if you pay some small amount to get licsened.
It may also be in your best interest to take a small loan for a car (3k will buy you a decent used car off craigslist--the loan will also build your credit score which is useful for you). I would say don't do that until you can move into a better paying/full time job, ideally, but if that comes down to the one roadblock preventing you from getting to a decent jobs, there may be no way around it. Your monthly rent/expenses are not bad at all, though. I'm paying more than twice what you do right now.

Same here, don't even have a GED (no one checks), but got into a tech support job at a call center that will qualify as 1yr experience in "IT" on a resume to move up (got in based on previous customer service experience and passing a fairly mundane technical screening that asked stuff about what is MS Office used for, how do you get to task manager, how do you find an IP, what is a VPN, etc.).
Look at what those next-tier jobs in your area ask for. Many in my area want basic certifications like A+ or Network+. These are pretty easy certifications.

A+ is basic tier. It's a lot of memorizing stupid info like how much ram windows 7 enterprise edition supports. Then other really basic stuff you probably already know or could figure out really easily--like what sort of media is hot swappable.
Most difficult part is probably printers just cus no one thinks about printers or knows the names of specific parts like they do with PC hardware. You can get the books for free online, via torrents, and via IRC ebook stuff (google it and you'll find a reddit thread with instructions if you've never used IRC for ebooks). IIRC most of the professior messer videos are online for free as well, and there are a lot of apps that have practice questions that you can just do periodically. Just boils down to actually doing it with some consistency.
My not-that-smart and not-that-computer savvy mom passed the A+ (was required for her medical billing courses) for fuck's sake.

If you decide to sell your soul go either option 40 or SEAL challenge. With option 40 you can get an instant enlistment bonus of $40,000 if you speak arabic and SEALs make about $50k a year starting not including all the bonus pays they get.

I'm not built to be a seal, and I WAS learning arabic but had to move states to a shitter community college. My plan is to just take the piss for a while, get a GI bill and if the world isn't on fire by then finish my degree and get a job in africa or some shit
thanks for the advice

Yep, no security. Don't know if you'll wake up with a job or any income the next day. How the fuck do you plan a family or buying a house around that?

The only decent job security you get is in some government sectors. I guess you can work your way up the military or police if you're lucky...assuming they don't deploy you to some desolate dune where a jihadi cuts your head off, or some nigger doesn't shoot you dead in the streets.

Otherwise, the government loves hiring females and minorities with useless qualifications for their overpaid public administration make-work.

Private sector is a clusterfuck, unions are gone, company loyalty is gone (yet they complain about job hoppers), more and more corps just use temps they can fire in one second. Temporary foreign workers and migrant labor. And that's not just low-end, high-paying positions at tech companies like Intel, AMD, Google, Facebook all use H1b's when they can. You can't just get a job at Ford and work there for 40 years, retire with a nice pension and benefits.

A lot of important social systems (not just economic and financial) are fucking up, I think we're in for Mr Bones' Wild Ride in the 2020s

Goddamn every time I see one of those saggy fat fucks I want to blow their brains out. You can just tell how they are, see the entitlement. These fat fuckers sit on medicaid because they can't stop eating shit 50s food. Even my Gramma admits the world will be a better place without her generation

>>39200124
The wild ride is coming, but what can you do about it? Society isn't something you can opt-out of unfortunately, the only option is to keep playing the game.
Marriage is dead, owning property is unsuitable, education means nothing, inflation is always rising, on and on and on. This is the world now and there's nowhere you can go to escape it anymore. You'd better hope it ends in war instead of another 1929

26yo dutch here

>don't buy stuff you like unless you NEED it.
my dad COULD buy awesome shit and new motorcylcles with his shitty farm-helping-hand payment when he was 17. I can't.

>you don't NEED a new car
No I don't. But my parents COULD just buy a brand new volkswagen when they were my age.

>If it's too expensive in the place you like to live or was born you just move to shitty parts
Sure dude. Because nobody likes to live in nice places. Also my dad COULD just buy a pretty big nice 1920's (popular in Netherlands) house when he was 26. Now he still lives there, the cheap-ass mortgage paid off and all, with only the price of electricity, water, heating and TV to take care of each month. Lets say about 150 euros/month. While me and my gf live in a shit apartment surrounded by Polish faggots and sandniggers and our montly cost for rent, water, electricity etc is about 1000 euros. Even if me and my gf both worked full time (and she has a good job) we still wouldnt be able to get a mortgage without saving for years. 'Oh anon your dad must have a fucking good job then!' No. He was, and still is a fucking truck driver.

Feel you on this one, I'm also 26 (in Canada)

>son, it's important not to hate

yeah fuck you you lived a nice comfy white life, went to high school with your own kind, weren't expected to hate yourself, no shitty fucking "cool" rap music, no pro-diversity feminazi HR hiring incompetents to your company and expecting you to do their workload for them while they get paid more than you (see: Bioware making Mass Effect Andromeda for just one IRL example), didn't have to commute two hours per day crammed onto a metal tube (bus) with niggers and pakis because you could actually afford the car insurance, etc.

Yet my dad bought a vacation house in Argentina (I haven't been there yet) and just browses real estate listings all day looking for additional local investment properties. Exactly like this guy said

>>39200497
and i'd like to add that my dad never got a college degree of any kind. He went to agricultural school, which I'm not even sure he finished. Decided he wanted to be a truck driver. Got his truck licence by paying some dude with A BOTTLE OF WHISKY. what the fuck i have to pay like 3000 euros for getting a driving licence. During my lifetime my dad had 5 cars. 2 of which classic Volvo's that he fully restored and somehow had money to do that. A classic Opel, a new Volkswagen, and he recently got a newer Volvo. I mean... He's just a truckdriver.
And my mom only ever had shitty temporary jobs like in retail/clothesstores/mail delivery kind of stuff. I recently graduated cum laude with a college degree. But I can only dream of the shit my parents already had when my age.

The things that get me are the articles by boomers that suggest that if people just dropped the pay TV, expensive coffees and avocado on toast, then they'd be able to buy a house. Houses are so expensive that most younger people couldn't afford one even if they had all their remaining wages left after rent and bills. The younger people that are buying houses are doing it with financial backing from boomer parents or grandparents.

The next boomer argument is: move somewhere cheaper. So people should uproot their lives, leave family and friends and go to some unknown place far way, all because governments refused to keep the lid on immigration, and because boomers wouldn't stop their insatiable appetite for buying investment properties.

Thanks for nothing, boomers. At least they'll all be gone within the next couple of decades anyway.

>The next boomer argument is: move somewhere cheaper.

This is such a bullshit fucking argument. These days, cheap places are cheap because there are no fucking jobs there. Many people living there are old people on pensions or welfare. The others work in retail or some other mcjob.

Are boomers generally anti gun or is it just mine? They hid all of my guns and ammo and refused to tell me where they were until I got the cops involved a couple weeks ago. I'm sure they're not all that extreme but I hear a lot of them say things like "nobody needs some 50 round clip military rifle, everything except shotguns and pistols should be banned!"

>>39200933
>pay TV, expensive coffees and avocado on toast,
boomers are the ones who teach young people to enjoy these sort of things. they spoil their children and then when their children need to feed their own asses they take after their parents and buy shit they cant afford. retards all of them
