How do I live comfortably as a NEET/non wagecuck?
Day Trading?
>>1007603
Trust fund. Winning the lottery. Being exceptionally talented in something that can make you money working for yourself.
Other than that suck it up and work like rest of us or go live under a bridge

Find a rich man/woman/transgender/genderqueer to pay you for house keeping.
Housewives will claim that raising kids and cleaning a house is two full time jobs but it isn't.
if you can actually make money trading, sure. but chances are you're no better than the ~95% of retail traders that never actually make anything close to what a mcdonalds worker makes and in fact loses. most of the individual traders you hear about that make real money got their start at an actual firm where they were trained by experienced professionals.
For years now people have been telling me to go into radio and voice acting. Friends, family, complete strangers, people at bars, and people on buses. What got me interested again is 3 complete strangers brought it up in the last week.
Not only that but some of them are literally begging me. Because if I don't do it I'm "wasting my talent". I don't know... just because I have a deep voice, I don't think that means I have the talent to voice act or have the ability to articulate myself professionally.
I have always mumbled my entire...

Yeah, someone told me this a couple days ago.
I guess her opinion might have some merit considering she's a speech therapist.
People tell me to become a chef because I like to cook, that doesn't mean it's a good idea or that the job will be what you expect. I know lots of cooks and it's not glamour and prestige, I tells ya.
So anyway this sounds like a skill you can develop on your own with some reading and attention, but whether it's worth pursuing is a different matter. How much money can you make? Deep voices can be hard to parse in noisy environments, is this an issue? Can you network on your own or is this an old boys' club, etc. Do some research on 1. if it's in demand, and 2. if it pays well enough to be worth the effort.
I suspect there are lots of people out there with good voices and they last for decades so I'd imagine this is a tough place to break into and actually make acceptable money at it.
>>1007298
Yes, I agree.
I assume it's very hard to actually break into and you just need a lot of luck.
How can I become a special intellect agency person or an espionage spy that lives in like miami or something. I have a 2 year degree in criminal justice and a vocational criminal justice diploma for a 2 year course.
Is there a lie detector test? I haven't done anything illegal besides drugs but I've smoked crack, free based molly, snorted pills, done ecstasy, smoking weed and oils on a daily basis, and I drink a lot. I've also sold drugs but I didn't want to. I think I'd be perfect as an agent as I'm athletic, coordinated, smart fast thinking...

You sound like a special intellect already buddy.
Uh, noooo. You have be in the top of your class in the police academy and then you have to be selected for a job like that.

That's bull shit I have god like abilities I just hate cops
So... How bad is it?
How soon could I start getting low-interest rates on a loan if I pay off my balances?
I'm right around where you are, at like 715.
It's all right, depending on whether your debts are still outstanding.
>>1007086
First credit card balance/limit is $1,590/$2,300.
Second card is $400/$500.
Been in debt for almost a year and I've been able to start paying on the debt a few months ago.
>>1007087
I have outstanding student loans of around $10K.
Been in debt for about two years. By the end of the next year, I will probably not be any longer.
I'll just leave this here.
Are you trying to tell me bear market?
>>1005765
Plot twist, these charts don't mean jack shit. Technical analysis of the markets will get you nowhere.

>people usually get paid a fixed salary plus maybe a bonus that is 100 % dependent on how much your bosses like you
>people get "asked" to stay late

>people get ostracised and then fired for not socialising outside of work with coworkers
How do people cope with this? Employees are absolutely cucked.
try r9k
Yep, and you'll be cucked too when mom kicks you out so she can fuck the Deli workers in peace. Life sucks then you die, anon.
>>1009445
I found a boss who basically just wants to show up to work five days a week, not fire anyone who also shows up to work and doesn't cause trouble, and knows that it's WAY easier for her to just give everyone a good performance review.
My job requires absolutely zero mandatory socialization in or out of work, but I like my coworkers and boss so I don't feel bad about talking to them. Even the guy I don't like (he asks for specific hours in a job where we are specifically told to that we...

Tyler Cowen quotes from a new study testing the relationship between grades and delayed sexual activity.
Last December I passed a paper along to Razib showing that high-school age adolescents with higher IQs and extremely low IQs were less likely to have had first intercourse than those with average to below average intelligence. (i.e. for males with IQs under 70, 63.3% were still virgins, for those with IQs between 70-90 only 50.2% were virgin, 58.6% were virgins with IQs between 90-110, and 70.3%...

>You can't compare the country's finances to a household's finances! They're fundamentally different because...
Please educate me and finish the sentence in clear language. I have looked at multiple sources and failed to find an ending that doesn't immediately either move the goalposts or bring in new assumptions.
Household finances only have to account for the needs, wants, aspirations, values and ideology of a very very narrow demographic, i.e. the occupants of that house.
>>1008301
>You can't compare the country's finances to a household's finances! They're fundamentally different because...
because your spending is my income, and my spending is your income. A household can reduce its expenditures. A society that collectively reduces its expenditures all at the same time will also collectively reduce its incomes by the exact same amount.
>>1008317
I think I wasn't clear in my OP. By country I meant government pretty much, since the "you can't compare..." sentence in the OP always is used to justify higher taxation.
So your post right describes a closed system where everyone is spending currency X. Obviously, all spending = all expenditure. The government to household analogy describes non closed systems where debt can accumulate or decrease depending on the level of spending.
Could Bill Gates buy an aircraft carrier decked with fighter jets?
>>1007949
Assuming he could commission their construction or else convince the US to part with them?
It would cost ABOUT half of his net worth to build one, and then he'd have about 40 BIL to put multi million dollar fighter jets on it.
>>1007949
The largest barrier to buying something is finding a seller, if the US takes a large enough hit then they'll probably auction one off.
Kind of like how that Mexican cartel bought a diesel conversion of a nuclear sub from the Russians. If he bills is as some kind of humanitarian mission there would probably be protests if he wasn't allowed.
>>1007953
Their power plants are really good for providing humanitarian aid.
Just had Chipotle for the first time. Stuff was barely warm and frankly I'd rather have taco bell ranch locos tacos.
Can you people explain why people go crazy for this mediocre crap?
>>1007823
Because they market it as "healthy". There a huge health craze going on in the US and it has just began. It's why you see explosions of chains like Waba Grill which is just overpriced rice and protein. Trendy shit. Although Chipotle took a hit because of the recent news of unsafe food handling practices it should bounce back. Hell, look at all the bad press that Wendy's, McDonald's, and Weinershnitzel got and they are all big as ever.
>>1007823
a good majority of stocks are getting shit on because shemitah or whatever.
Or the new generation does not give 2 shits about consuming or shit like football.
>>1007823
Chipotle has been pretty good in my experience, plus the portions are huge.

Finally got myself a job guys, its a student job so i only make about 19 $/h im 20 years and still in college i get around 1716 $ a month after taxes - some of the money goes to rent and bills. So i have around 1124 $ when all my expenses are paid.
Now what would /Biz/ do.
- pay off my small student loan (4307 $)
- Save money for a car (Could really use one)
- Invest my money each month
Or is there an option im not aware of?
>only $19/hr
k
probably pay off the loan
>>1008792
if you dont 'need' a car then smash that debt.
>>1008792
Buy a cheap car if it helps your every day. I would prolly just a get somewhat new small car with a small engine so you dont have to worry repairs.
Depends what rate you have but student loans are usually cheaps so you might not want to hurry with that. Just leave it there and some day pay it off.
1124 after expenses you should be just fine. Have fun.
I'm tired of being a wageslave and my school situation is fucked. what's a good home business for me to get into? I like putting shit together. I figured I could make stuff and sell it online. Not necessarily Etsy stuff but mechanics. I'd be down for etsy though.

Lel. Mate all those jobs went to China a long time ago, and they pay ~$2/day.
>>1008640
w-what about tech modding and making custom gadgets?
>>1008642
I guess it depends largely on how good you are.
Certainly as you become more skilled than merely assembling prefabricated parts then you will be able to earn progressively more than a Chinese worker, which is desirable if you hope to have it fund rent/food/bills in a developed country.
