[DJSmooth]

We both only make $10+/hr and shyt just seem impossible. I aint got shyt to ever work with.
Plus my paid off car got an axle that broke completely so i cant drive it and depend on her 2017 mazda.

Feel like ima skrugle forever and will never afford a vehicle again neither.

(Im level 2 security guard too)

Yall are broke af. Do yall need to move out? Folks be trying to skip the struggle to keep up with the Joneses.

shyt hard without certs.
Im planning on gettn my lvl 3 license which will boost it s few dollars

Since you have experience with Security, look at local community colleges and degrees revolved around law enforcement/security, or go to school and get your certs up. Apply for financial Aid/scholarships etc, get that free money to get your degree, and maybe you'll be lucky enough to get extra grant/scholarship money

Don’t go to college or any of that bs. People will tell you to go to college, but if you trying to save money that’s ass backwards(loans, tuition, books)

Go down to your local union hall for carpenters laborers electricians or whatever your interested in.

I’m bout to be 21 next month, I been out the crib since I was 18 for the most part, all due to UNION trade wages

shyt only works if you white

Also, how long have you been where you at? If you apply and go to local/state colleges, make sure you get in state tuition rates.

I pay $720 a month and only pay electric utilities

I make $15 an hour at a call center and I’m bout to make $18

Never made less than $15 an hour since I been back last year

Single mothers have government assistance to help them out (likely).

First, where do you live?

Low income women with children get income tax checks that is practically one month income of a normal person.

I moved out of my parents house on $8 an hour or less and found an apartment less than 10 mins away for $450 a month for a 1 bedroom apartment back in 2003. I think that same apartment is probably around $650 now.

Inflation is real as hell.

Y’all trying to get a house or apartment? Apartments in Texas are dirt cheap for the most part. Y’all can’t afford a 1 bedroom with that 40k? Y’all must have bad money management. Do you have any savings?

I ain't going to judge you everybody starts at different positions in life. Moving out just so you can catch a nut in peace while living pay check to pay check ain't it.

If you ain't go no plan trade school or the military.

Going west aint gone make it no easier. shyt thats getting closer to California

What's wrong with cali

 

[ba'al]

Ill be damned if i join the military

Ok. shyt ain't for everybody.

Are you around any oil refineries or chemical plants ? Those kind of Jobs usually pay 15-20 /hr starting. Hell even Walmart Distribution centers would get you around 15/HR because that 10 aint gonna cut it

 

[LuvKaya]

You don’t know how to hustle. Why do you only have one job?

One job?

 

[Ghostface Trillah]

What could i leave out?

Exactly where you guys are putting 40k a year to or the fact that you guys are just horrible with money but whatever man.
