Topic: I am in a bit of a dilemma... (Read 1853 times)

here is how it works

go to dmv and apply for a truck license . get the license and get certified for haz mat and get certified as a profesional driver.

apply for a job at any truck driving company . such as stevens : stevens will take drivers with ZERO experience. http://www.stevenstransport.com/

end the renting agreement.

live in the truck eat in the truck . no rent no hassle and 2 grand a month in the pocket for starting drivers.

Here you go and you can thank me now for thinking everything for you. this is asuming you are 21 or over.

PS : Stevens will even help you with the driving school . as long as you are willing to give them a call and ASK .

Tell a little more about your chemistry background.   Any knowledge in botany? 

Well, ilovelittleboys, my advice to you is to ask yourself what really turns you on? You have to find what is central to your identity, and really fires your passion! If you can turn your hobbies and personal interests into profit then you are truely rich my friend.
Follow your bliss, but stay away from my kids, capis?

Easier said than done. As I said before, my programming skills are horrible. I might be able to write a chess program in Java (where all the moves are random and there is no intelligence) and that's MAYBE. I know a bit of chemistry and biology but it's difficult to land a job in those fields without a degree. I doubt anyone will hire me.

Hi everyone, I am revisiting this thread.

So I am currently living in rented accommodation. It's about $100 USD per week and power and Internet are included.

I have approximately $3000 USD in the bank right now. Maybe a bit more stashed away in other accounts. That's enough to pay for 30 weeks rent. Plus some more money for food, etc.

I am thinking of enrolling in a distance learning course in March. The government will give me about $150 per week as a loan for living expenses. Plus I will get about $750 as a one-off payment.

Ideally I would prefer to not rely on the government and make this money myself. (I don't want to be a leech living off the government.) How should I go about doing this?

Get a job.

Don't care if you're not skilled enough o get a good paying job, you need to get any old job til you can get a better one...

try to see if you can lower anything, that means down grading your internet if you have to, I paid $52.99 for time warner now I`m at $14.99 thats a huge save.

this can be also your cell phone bill, any excessive things that you can think of.

The sad part when I did this change was, I saw no difference in my internet besides maybe pausing a movie to load a bit for 5 mins but thats about it.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the suggestions.

While it would be nice if I could get a job to make up for the shortfall, I don't have any particularly good skills so it's unlikely that anyone will want to hire me. I have a basic knowledge of science and programming but it would definitely not be enough to start making a living out of it. Ideally I would like to work from home too, so I would think that would limit the possibilities somewhat.

As for the $1000 I have in cryptos, about 1/3 of it is in BTC and the rest is distributed across various cryptos. I also have some NXT assets too. I know this is risky but I guess that's the reason why I'm not 100% invested in them. I'm definitely a hodler so I'll be hodling them until the end, wherever that might be.

I have exactly $2000 in the bank right now and after a few calculations, I think I will probably have $3000-$3500 in the bank by the end of November.

I'd also like to sell some of my old stuff lying around the house which I've been dying to get rid off. I could sell them online and will probably have another $1000.

So excluding the cryptos, I should have $4000-$4500 in the bank by the beginning of next year.

That should pay for most of the rent for next year (~45 weeks out of the whole year) so rent shouldn't be a problem, but there is still the problem of food (which I've calculated to be around $1000 for 1 year) and power/Internet (another $1000 for 1 year). I suppose my stash of dried foods mitigates the first problem somewhat but I'm not sure how I will cope once it runs out or how I will find the $100 a month or so I will need for power/Internet access.

My goals for next year are to be self-sufficient and stop relying on my parents for support. Ideally I would like to further my programming skills - eventually get into web/software development, and also create passive online income streams via things like blogs, affiliate marketing, adsense, online businesses that require little or no capital, etc.

You might want to think about the wisdom of having one third of your wealth in crypto currencies. Even bitcoin is not worth a bet that big, but alt coins are exceedingly risky. I think you can write off much of that $1000.

Yeah....... like 0.000000001% interest LMAO


with $3K you will make a penny in a year lol

get yourself a real job and put those money in a bank that gives you some interest on it.

You should use that money and invest in yourself. Investing in yourself would mean learning new skills, getting an education--things that employers look for. You haven't given us much info on your academic standing but from what I can gather you are just graduating high school? If that's the case, focus on school. Learn something you like. Be a bus boy or dishwasher to support yourself and then use the money to re-invest in yourself. Making yourself more marketable to employers is the end-game.

Invest your money and stop being cocky in the forum

Look for a job then, and make sure your job's salary is enough to cover your expense and hopefully have a little extra to invest into bitcoin

Find a job, even if you find one that helps you pay the rent and food you are fine until you find something better to do and earn more.

Wish you all the best! 

I agree, sell your crypto and buy more dried food. For just in case.

Invest your money in education, learn new skills, connect with the people, search the market and try to find where you fit in.
Check yourself, what I know and how I can contribute to any company, what I have to offer?
