How do you think they feel? The only financial reason to spend so damn much time/money on having a kid is so they'll take care of you when you're old and sick. Now they're old and sick and their loser heir can't even take care of himself.

I'd only ever do anything for my own gain. Even those who help others only do it because it makes them feel pious/proud, they need to absolve themselves of guilt, or they gain satisfaction from the happiness of others. If you pretend otherwise you're simply lying to yourself.

desu you'll probably never get the same amount of money and value back directly to you, out of a child as you put in. However, you'll expect some form of recompense if it's within their ability to do so, especially as your body becomes unable to support it all.

You may also be considered a Sociopath, and your morality is at the lowest level, selfishness.

If you can't do a good deed without the certainty of self-satisfaction, or without needing some form of emotional or physical payment, then you're incredibly immature.

Remember that good deeds are logically sensible as well.

Children can be anything from an investment, to making sure food can be bought in proper bulk and eaten at a proper pace.

Ideally a couple should produce 3-6 children, so they at the least have some family to bicker with. Or 2-3 if there is very good contact with relatives, in nearby area.

What is your background OP?
High school grad, college grad?
(If the latter, what did you study).

Walk us through a typical day in your life. What do you spend your time on, what does your resume look like, what are you doing on a day to day basis that is improving your current situation?

These are all important details OP; if you just game here to complain, than no one can help you

Highschool, I want to study Finance/Accounting/Econ tho

Mostly meaningless things. Reading about Finance, 4chan, chess, different stuff like poker, movies, music, programming etc
>what does your resume look like
Very lacking in length
>what are you doing on a day to day basis that is improving your current situation?
I make (limited) money, read books and go to the gym.

Go to community college, it's cheap as hell and you'll gain knowlege and skills. If nothing else it'll hey you some pocket dollars. If your parents are as poor as you say, you should get some financial aid (I'm assuming your in the US, if not it should be even easier to go to school unless you live in some third world country). Either learn a trade or plan to go to a state university for your bachelors once you graduate.

>Mostly meaningless things
If you're so fucking depressed, than stop doing meaningless shit. Gambling is a waste of life, and movies/video games can wait.

>>1167895
If you want a career in Finance/Economics/Accounting, than make Finance/Economics/Accounting your hobby OP.

You're flat-out NOT getting a career if you don't enjoy what you study. Once you find a way to have fun while you study, you'll learn a hell of a lot faster. If you have to, you can get high on stimulants while you read or use MS Excel.

I understand this in theory but I'm just not sure what to do with it.

Like with programming i can work on projects or contribute to projects which is tangible.

But with Economics or Finance... How do I apply my knowledge? How do I put it to work?

I downloaded Economics textbooks, YouTube videos on undergrad Econ and Yale opencourseware videos. But I just don't know what to do with it. It just feels pointless and that I'll forget everything I learned after because I have no way of applying it.

I'll just learn econ concepts then with time forget them because I never got to use it.

>>
>>1167924
Go to uni and you'll meet people who can recruit you for a job in your major or get you in contact with people who can. You kind of need that piece of paper and the networking that college provides for something like economics. Even if you learned everything you need to from online courses you can't really prove it, some company isn't going some random guy with no degree instead of someone who has an econ degree and internships in the field.

Make a simulated stock market account on UpDown, build a mock investment portfolio, read quarterly reports from companies via sec.gov and see if you can understand their reports, pursue an internship at a financial firm, google practice questions related to finance exams, etc.

If this is such a hassle for you, than why did you want to study finance in the first place?

Yeah I know, I'm planning on going to University soon. I just meant I wasn't sure how to "make economics my life" as the other poster said.

What kind of meaningful work can I do to apply my skills?

Should I start some sort of blog? - I'm probably nowhere near smart enough to make it even mildly useful to anyone.

>>1167943
I'm not so interested in Finance though, that's more secondary.

I mean Accounting/Econ more, which seems pretty much impossible to "do" unless you have a job doing it.

You know what I mean? I can't really *do* "economics" for fun.

Not sure why they didn't just go on foodstamps or ask for food from the church if they're that poor. Anyway, see if your mom might be able to get a lower interest card. Some waive the 1st month's interest. As for your dad, he is making a lot of bad decisions which I'm sure you already know. One thing though, don't let him drag your credit down with you.

>Hey, son. Can you put this on your card?

No, just no.

Well, if it makes you feel any better Im in my second to last semester double majoring in Finance and Economics and I too am having a fuckshitstorm trying to figure out what to do after. There are a lot of options, MBA, JD, MS/PhD in Econ/Finance. I used to be a STEMfag but scheduling at uni forced me to choose otherwise. Not sure where you are located, but out here in California, if you're on your own and not making a terribly great amount of $, community college is practically free and a great place to start. I work full time and take a full course load of 15-20 credits and still have a 3.9 GPA, you can do it to, you just have to be smarter than the other fuckwits and know how to learn/study. You seem to be on the right track watching and learning already. Take that passion and turn into something tangible. Take advantage of your opportunities and fuck socializing, you're there to wreck faggots, take no prisoners.

Mom's work all her life since her bussniess highschool days in the late 80s, no way in hell she go on food stamp out of pure principle.She looked into credit card interest rates though but shes no business major or /biz/....

No don't know the half of it,my dad shouldn't be trusted with money my mom does of that and they've never been in a hole with her managing things believe it or not.Tell me is it a good idea to move debt to a credit union with a lower interest to to to pay off your old debt more slowly? cause That's what he is thinking.

>>1170139
Well I have a strong background in mathematics from when i was an indecisive prick. In business and economics, having a foundation of math through calc 1-3 will make most of the programs trivial. Not saying its neccessary, but i can bs my way through a lot of stuff by deriving equations.

>>1170141
Canada has some good secondary education opportunities, look into it!

>>1170144
Imho, the true trick to studying is to not waste time studying shit you don't know. Second is to do examples until you are comfortable with what will be on the test. read before lecture, take good notes. Be honest with yourself and see what you need to improve on.
>>
>>1170161
That's what I mean tho.

Is there some sort of guide on taking optimal notes and such? Because I kind of skipped over that in highschool and now I'm pretty much lost because I have no clue how to organize myself.

I'd say the real danger sign is when the teacher is talking and you have no idea wtf he just said, especially after examples and having read before hand if you need to. There are a lot of resources out there, from on campus stuff, to study groups (lel as if we talk to actual ppl) to honestly- youtube videos. If all of that doesn't help or you're stuck on a step, go to office hours. Learning how to learn is the real challenge of college, after you have that down, absorbing and applying knowledge isn't so bad. I was always a slacker when i was younger, graduated high school with C grades but great test scores cuz lazy. I immediately struggled in college, even in classes I had previously taken as AP. After fucking around for a few years i gave up and worked and lucked out finding a decent paying job as a warehouse supervisor. Went back to school over the last few years, slowly at first but confidence and hard work pay off. It was hard to put aside games and dalliances, but i still have a few beers every night and get my shit done.
