So you're just comfortable living in poverty? You aren't ever going to own a house.
>>84047403
Been here.

>>84047659
I did live in a house. My mom passed away in a car wreck a year and a half ago. I sold it for $300k. I also have her life insurance which was $50k. I now live in a home for mentally ill people with only $400 rent and paying $100/month for my cell service. My disability is $900/month. That leaves $400/month.

I'm not as poor as people think.

Not really. Everything is taken care of, and I can be alone by myself. The only cons are the required outings and the stupid group therapy we have to attend twice a week for two hours.

>invest in index funds
Invested in multiple accounts. Not that it matters though.

Cool you live off government gibs and have tard wranglers waiting on you hand and foot. You're the real winner of capitalism because you receive more than you could ever give and no one will ever fault you for it besides whatever your nation's version of a conservative political party is. Still though, the fact that you'll likely never have a relationship would be suicide fuel for me, but you're literally built different so you'll be fine. You're not that far removed from being a Buddhist monk who lives a simple lifestyle free of earthly desires, but in your case it just seems a lot less cool to outside observers.

>Is there a job that pays decently well (at least $20 per hour) that no one wants to do because it has shitty hours or something?
There are tons of jobs that pay well that no one wants to do. However, like nearly all jobs that pay well, they require specialized training and/or education. Do your research via Google, pick a job, do whatever it takes to get the "piece of paper that says I'm qualified to do job" and then get the job. It's 2026. This ain't your grandpa's economy where uneducated ditch diggers got paid the modern equivalent of 50 USD per hour. If all you have is a HS education then you're basically qualified to do NOTHING. Pursue something in the medical or dental field if you want infinite job security and availability. If you like blue-collar stuff, my recommendation is entering the renewable energy sector. Got a friend who gets paid good money to bang wrenches n' shit in wind turbines.

My dad died in a car wreck when I was 5 by a drunk driver. I hated my mom for a very long time. It was a resentment I had when she started dating when I was 8. Her bf kept raping me, and she didn't believe me. It was my grandparents who did and took me to the ER, which did an exam, contacted the police, and he was arrested. She apologized forever. After a long time and therapy, I forgave her.

I loved my mom and I thought I wouldn't be able to cope without her until she died. I'm doing better now. I had my spats with her, but it was just because she was worried about me and was sorry for what happened in the past.

>stories
They're so normal here. There's the ones who are involuntarily here that are here on a court order that get dragged out for violating their community placement order. There's the one bitch who sneaks her boyfriend in all the time and you can hear them have sex all the time since she is a loud moaner all the meanwhile having a roommate. So much for our safe space for the ones who have trauma issues. There's the schizo who screams about everyone out to murder her and chasing after her with things like a hammer. Then there's the time I had a major panic attack and meltdown and punched multiple holes in the wall.

There's no one straight path; it's not like other academic fields. Nice part is you don't need a PhD (though it can help), but you need at least a JD from a law school. The three critical components of an application for an entry-level tenure track job is, in order of importance, publication record, research agenda, and references. You need to have published at least one or two solid pieces in a law journal. You need a cohesive research agenda detailing methodology and future projects. And you need at least three references, preferably tenured professors, who will go up to bat for you. Most candidates will have spent a couple years in practice, maybe one or two clerking for a judge, and then a couple years in an academic fellowships (what I did), visiting assistant professorship, or PhD program (sometimes a combination). The hiring cycle is extremely centralized around something called the FAR. You application will be blasted out to all schools, those interested in you based on their subject-matter needs will conduct a 30 minute screening interview with you, and if you do well you will be called to an on-campus, day-long interview, during which you present a paper to the school's faculty and field questions on it (the most important part of the day). It sounds like a lot and it kind of is but it's no where near as grueling as other academic fields and we get paid better.

I grew up poor too and got a real job too, but I resent working. There's no point. People just need food, clothing, shelter, and entertainment. They don't even want anything besides this unless they are some kind of long nose sadist or retarded. It's ridiculous people are paying over $50,000 for a house when they are so easy to build even if you've never held a hammer, chisel, or trowel in your entire life. Grocery stores are convenient in the sense that you can get food at 100x markup and 10% the quality. I can't even remember the last time I bought clothes, shelter is a one time expense, most fun stuff is free or very cheap. Food is the main problem, but you can grow enough food for ten people barely breaking a sweat on part time hours. I feel very silly every time my alarm clock goes off. I feel sillier getting ready for work. Driving to work. Clocking in. Not leaving until my shift over. It's horribly inefficient. Taxes in America are >99.99999999%. Every time money moves the government scalps the shit out of anyone unfortunate enough to be touching it. Before it's changed hands ten times a single dollar has been taxed for more than it is worth. Factor in inflation and the true tax rate in the United States is tens of thousands percent.
A more stupid system could not be invented even with an army of retards and a data center the size of the moon harnessing the entire sun's energy to power it. If a person has satisfactory food, shelter, clothing, and entertainment there is no noticeable difference in quality of life between brokie and a billionaire.

>>84048697
I think you're somewhat exaggerating with your grocery store figures
Also taxing something whenever there is a market transaction doesnt mean the "true" tax rate is "tens of thousands" it still means its 20-50% or whatever, taxes are how the economy functions and is required for QE, which happens most presidential terms, to actually stop inflation

I was a machine operator in a plant making poverty wages breaking my back working up to 70 hour weeks and still barely netting 3.5k a month. All my overtime went to taxes. Did that for years getting nowhere, it felt like actual slavery.

Wfh until thursday this week then I have some gay training thing for some other system. Currently supposed to be working but I'm lifting on company time then I will shower. I feel uninspired by most work, there was a job I actually put effort into which was being a nature reserve ranger but the pay was so bad I had to leave or not be able to pay my bills because it didn't keep up with inflation and cost of living increases

Even if I worked a job I was never going to able to afford a home lmfao
