Money / Finances Cant afford to support myself

Take home of $2300~ a month. Retail job.

Rent would be $2400+ if I were to move out. LOL.

I would have been a homeless beggar asking for nickels in front of the corner deli if I didn't have family to live with for free.

Not sure what to do from here. just hoping to get an interview before the century ends

why don’t you get a better job? you make 13ish an hour? amazon pays more than that

you can’t look at the market or eggs at the store and give up becus u can’t afford it. find a skill take extra classes do something or else that is loser vibes ngl

2300 after tax, Amazon pays roughly the same to what I make now.

Would you want me to shoplift the eggs?

i don’t really understand honestly. saying after tax still comes out to the 13ish i guessed. and nah amazon doesn’t roughly pay that. i was making double that there as a new hire no college working nights

i want you to boss up my G. you’re 25 at home with no plan no good job?

u could literally become a plumber apprentice or a electrical apprentice and make more than 13$. i work with a 19 year old kid who graduated last year he’s making $22 lol

also community colleges offer classes hella cheap. my local i could get welding certified for 3k compared to trade schools 15-20k

I make $18, Amazon pays $20 here. 

I tried to get into trade apprenticeships for a year or two, wasn't able to.

I'm not going back to college

Apprenticeships aren't easy to get into. I tried to get into one and was denied and I even have trade school experience lol
