how can you fucking losers justify being jobless?
centrelink doesnt pay me enough, i only get 300 dollars a week.
Living on the bare minimum and scraping by is pure hell.
>work for a shipping company
>even though I make $13 an hour, my weekly checks are only $220
>the government takes like $50 from every single check I get
>tfw trying to live off $170 a week/less than $800/month
also on top of that
>tfw hurt my back because some dipshit dropped the 200-pound package we were carrying
>haven't been able to work all week, might lose my job
>no compensation for injury
>work as server
>make $2.33/hr but with varying tips
>restaraunt just introduced new policies that increases serving staff and IMMENSELY DECREASES both prices and ability to quickly churn out food
>now have 14 hour days where I make $50
>get paid for 20 hours/week instead of the 40 I work because of shady sidework and janitorial stuff
A-at least I'll always get subsidized to minimum wage, so I got that going for me right?
But seriously Jesus fucking Christ when I started there I was averaging close to $30/hr

You did something wrong with your W4, have expensive health insurance, have the max take out for 401k, or you work in a union shop. Probably some combo of the 3. You might also have wage garnishments from student loans or unpaid taxes.
Lawyer up for the workman's comp shit.
As for me

>work for a landscaper
>take home $200 a week in UI

The guy is awesome, but he should have kept me on the books until we finished the season.

I joined the Marine Corp and it's ok. Made some friends, but I'm non-deployable so I don't get to go anywhere or do anything. POG life
>>24463364
$300 a week? That's a lot of fucking money man. Stop bitching.
>>24465070
I highly recommend this option but join the navy instead.

$300 a week goes a long way in my neck of the woods. Where the fuck do you live?
>>24465399
Do you guys see any action in the navy?
>>24463364
Anyone have the reeeeeee pic?
>>24465371
I make $225 a week and I can pay rent and utilities but that's about it. The good news is that only eating once a day is pulling me out of skinnyfat mode.

>Centrelink = Australia. If he lives in sydney, renting a tiny shitty studio apartment in niggerland will cost about $250 a week at least.
>>24464111
then you'll get a shitload back when it's time to file your taxes because people that make $13 an hour don't pay taxes basically. you won't get back the stuff you put in for social security and shit, but you'll get a fair amount back.
>>24465456
I was in the Seabees so they sent me to Afghanistan. Fleet side pukes usually only ever see the inside of their big, gray floating prisons, so no, not really.
Navy's pretty chill and comparatively safe.
This Pepe looks really familiar to me, like it's based on something else but I can't place where.

Be nice to that old lady. That's a great rent rate no matter where you are.
>>24467609
yeah, I think she is just lonely. Her kids only visited her a few weeks after I moved in, and during holidays.
Biggest fear is they will put her in a home and sell the house.
>>24467666
It wont last mboy. It wont last.
>>24467755
yeah,, I think I am going to be a degenerate gambler in a few years. I tried horses once without knowing shit and lost. A part of me wanted to go back again but do research.
>>24465461
No but here's this one.
I'm looking for good boy pepe.
>>24463364
What does it say that 3/4 of those variations are from the very recent past while the first ones lived on for years?
Also he wasn't always referred to as pepe
he was for a very long time known only as sadfrog

Fuck, life really isn't worth living.
>>24468088
What do you do if you have a car?
>>24468156
You sleep in the car m8
>>24468156
A car gives you a huge amount of freedom as a homeless person. You have a comfortable place to sleep, a place of privacy, transportation, a storage unit, and a way to get to work (If you wanna pick one up)
No car means sleeping wherever you can, holding whatever you can carry, and being kept somewhere local.
>>24468156
Sleep in it.
>>24463364
>300 dollars a week.
Now imagine living in an euro shithole.
In a month of doing nothing you still get more money then I do working in 3 months.

>>24468891
Are you supposed to join straight out of high school or can you join after you get a bachelors (I have physics). I'm 22 years old is it too late
>>24463364

Its not, the minimum room rent is 180 per week, inlcuding the entire city and the outskirts of it. Doesnt help that fast food and other general things you need to live costs like its some high end premium store. Also theres no such thing as a cheap place to live, theres a country town with 400k people in it and recently an apartment in the centre of it sold for 2mil
Deliver parcels for ~340 dollaroos a month.
Do tech support for about ~200 dollaroos a month, give or take.
Renting out my apartment, getting ~230 dollaroos a month after all the appartment-related bills have been paid.
Cash in roughly about $780 every month. More than enough to pay my bills, be able to buy good ingredients to cook myself a nice dinner every day (on top of lunch and breakfast), and still have something to spend after I shove some of the money into my savings account.
I used to make $2800 a month at my last job, and I'm not suffering unduly because of the greatly lowered salary from then to now. You just have to adjust your monthly spendings.
Make a budget people. It actually helps.
>>24463364
>1200/month
>bare minimum
That's 4 times the average salary in my country you piece of shit.
>>24471477
it depends on where you live, retard. cost of living has a huge impact on how far your wage goes.
>>24471531
Not my problem if you're too retarded to move.
I make 13 CAD / hour doing web development while I study. I only put in about 14 hours a week there and I have started hating every single one, even the 6 hours out of the week where I work from home.
