This living check to check shyt is stressful af brehs

Get your loans in deferment/forbearance. If you can prove hardship(not being able to afford food is a hardship) you can get it. Stop doing take out. Shop at Trader Joe’s. Meal prep and take your breakfast and lunch to work/school. Get stuff for the house at dollar tree.

Dollar Store Jamaican Beef patties and Dollar Store pancake sausage sammiches.

I still shop there once a week.

I've learned to except it. As long as rent, phone/internet , lights and My fridge is,full (i Will never cheap myself with food) are paid I don't care to walk around broke. Learn how to cook and how to fix your car.

To capitalism and consumerism, you're the most efficient employee.

 

[Big Blue]

Just got a six figure job and I ain't changing my habits for that reason. I haven't been check to check for a while, but i should have wayyy more in my savings.

 

[A1aaa]

1.) almost $14/hr
2.) > 70k in student debt
3.) just graduated with my bachelors of science in Kinesiology
4.) rent, car insurance, student loans, gas, PECO, wifi, groceries/take out, stuff for the house

ridiculous. the system has truly failed a generation of individuals in our age demographic. no way this is even remotely sustainable.

if i were in your predicament, i'd move home ASAP, cut off any distractions and really go into contemplation about how i could maximize my earning potential. turn that time wasted on here into finding online sources of income. you're 24... now's time to start thinking about how you want your trajectory to be. i have a friend from college, ivy-league educated, still hustling from bullshyt job to bullshyt job in his early 30s because his hustle is skewed. you're really going to have to grind.

i was fortunate enough to get a full-scholarship, but in the time between graduating and entering into the professional world, i still felt stressed and pushed to the limit. the feeling is visceral when your bank account is on zero. hang in there... only the strong survive.

it's not sustainable at this rate, but I'm not really worried about earning more bread. I just gotta get a better job, only reason I'm still at my current job is because they pay for the PTCB, the certified pharmacy tech exam.

I gotta study up for that jawn cuz tbh I be bullshyttin at my job. I know a fair amount but I need to get this cert then dip. As soon as I land a hospital/corporate job I'll be way less stressed about surviving.

A nikka got debt out the ass but I have faith I can land a 30k+ job soon, and later down the line 50k+ depending which direction I take. I have a bachelors in science, an EMT cert and soon a cPT cert. I got faith in myself it's just all the bullshyt that distracts me from it

You fukking tripping

Packing his bags and moving back with the parents at age 24 is not emasculating at all in the year 2018. Sure 10 years ago he would’ve got clowned but it’s real out there for these young people. In fact I suggest more young blacks do that and save money instead of being in a rush to move out just so they can be broke every month. That’s not living.

THIS. Some need to drop their ego and find a way to be rent free or somewhere away from being homeless

 

[Crayola Coyote]

Pay your bills with credit cards

Then do matrix algebra to figure out how to pay your credit card bills

You sound like my lame ass ex friend that thinks getting loans is helping you out

 

[I Really Mean It]

We covet and chase after the lifestyle of white people, ignoring the depressing reality that we are the descendants of slaves who were never compensated for their labor, men and women who could not leave us anything of monetary value to inherit. Most black people were born poor and will die poor, because we are in a system designed to ensure that outcome. OP, you are not special, being just another among millions of black victims who came before you, currently live under similar circumstances, and will experience the same misery long after we are dead. We are trapped, and the only way to escape is to rebel.
