FML, F it hard.

[TridenT]

50K a year job to afford a crappy apartment with milk crates and a futon for furniture? Looking back my first place of my own was craptastic but it was the best place in the world when I moved in it.

Find someone you DO like and be roommates or something.

Not possible. I have no friends where I live.

Aren't you the one who posted about how you hated your parents because they bought a house too small and you didn't like your rent-free room? Complete with pictures?

Congratulate your parents for me. They may be awesome people but they apparently raised two self-centered, spoiled and entitled brats. I join with them in looking forward to the day you and your brother either move out or they kick your sorry asses to the curb to learn how to deal with the real world yourself.

I hope your child is as unappreciative as you are and someday when he's complaining about his brother and his room and his car and making you feel like crap about everything you've worked so hard to provide for him that you think back to yourself as a teenager and call your parents to apologize and tell them how much you regret subjecting them to your snobby little attitude as a teenager.

Considering my parents were alcoholics and very neglectful for the first 15 years of my life... They deserve any of the shit I throw at them. >_> Considering my situation and how all my friends' situations were, I think I got the worst hand. There are plenty of people who have it worse than I do, it's fucking obvious.. But I am complaining because all of my peers received it better than I did.

 

[Kyle]

50k+ job? Really?
You can get your own place w/ a min. wage job- or at the very least, rent a room in a house (even w/ out friends- just look on CL).

Then make some! jesus fucking christ... How hard is it?

 

[cyclohexane]

OP sounds like a complete douche.

 

[TridenT]

Surprisingly hard if you're at a CC, do not have a job, and do not have a car.

I wonder why?

Oh now I get it.

It's because:

You sound like a whiny bitch.

You got food, internet, free rent, education. Your parents should throw you out of the house. Then you see the real world.

That's weird. Somehow I've managed to live 350 miles away from home since 2003 without help from my parents. I went back to school this year at a state university and somehow managed to keep a roof over my head.

Got paid today too. You know what my net income for the year is? 10.5k. And most of that was over the summer when I was on a full time schedule. The point? It's possible. Quit being such a bitch about everything and do something about if for once. Your threads are like somebody putting the same broken record on, over and over again. I can't even visualize the thought process in your head when you decided to start this thread...

 

[apac]

OP, how old are you, and what exactly do YOU pay for? I'm willing to bet you don't pay for the food you eat, the room you sleep in, the camera you used to take pictures of the room you sleep in, the tuition for the university you attend, the car you sometimes drive, the car insurance needed to sometimes drive, the television you watch, the cable service you use to watch television, the chair you're sitting in, the computer you're looking at, or the internet you use to tell us how bad off you are.

Yeah, F your life.

Don't pay for food, don't pay for the room, did pay for the camera, they're paying right now which is like $1500 a term or so and soon it'll be free(VA stuff) oh and it's a CC not a uni, it's their car, their car(No insurance needed to be paid in my name because I don't drive it without them in the car), don't watch TV, this was free actually, nope I paid all $1600 for it, and they do pay for that.

This x10000...well infinity.

It's more than possible if you really want to do it. You don't have a job because you don't have a car, but without a job you won't be able to afford a car...its a vicious cycle. But hey guess what. You have two perfectly good feet and legs. My jr and sr years of high school, as well as the summers, I walked to and from work 1.5 miles everyday I worked. I worked at a Sonic as it was the most reasonable walking distance, wasn't 18 so I couldn't work at 7-11...not to mention the cow my parents would've had, and yes it thoroughly sucked at times. But hey you know what? I had a job.
Well what did you do when it rained, snowed, was really cold out? I bought a poncho, $1 at walmart, wore a jacket...and every now and again was able to catch a ride.

The other way to solve your jobless problem and being such a lazy ass...Christmas is in about 3 weeks...ask your parents for a bicycle. In your case the gift that keeps on giving. Now you can bike to work. Problem solved. Over the summer my friend who was living with me biked 4 miles to work 4-5 times a week. I would take him when it rained...I'm sure you can find someone to do the same. The kicker...I live in Oklahoma and 90% of the days were 100+ temp wise. Did he ever complain? Nope. Why? Because he actually decided to take a positive look on the position he was in.

Now to your friends problem. Who's fault is that? You're at a CC. Plenty of opportunity to make friends. My friendbase has probably increased 3-fold. I've met tons of different people.

So yes it sucks your brother is living in your house. Take initiative, get a job, save some money through the break and go find a place to fucking live. Anytime I have something to complain about at home I have to bite my tongue because I get free rent, free food, free HD cable in my room, free internet, free gym membership and my dad even buys me clothes and such on occasion. This on top of working full-time and going to school full-time so I get to not have to take loans and am able to put my money towards school. You honestly don't realize how well off you have it until you have to pay for everything.

So roughly every month they pay the equivalent of

$300 food
$500 rent
$100 utilities
$50 internet

Well how fortunate that this all fits into your budget.

I thought they did it to 21 even if you weren't a dependent or some shit. That's what I heard anyway...

Doesn't matter for me anyway. My schooling is going to be paid for for the next four years and I get $910/month with it as long as I go full-time. :awe::awe:

Idk how the whole thing really works out but I am pretty sure if I move out I am no longer considered a dependent and thus no more free college(And this free college shit hasn't even started yet, I haven't even gotten the certificate saying I'm good to go).

I actually sold a perfectly functioning truck (that I paid for) just over two years ago after a minor traffic accident. My insurance rates skyrocketed because I was 22 at the time and I couldn't afford it anymore. Sold it June 1st and started riding bike everywhere. Two years later I wouldn't have it any other way. I have a great jacket, long johns, a waterproof messenger bag and ride 10-20 miles a day (rain, snow, heat, whatever) in my various daily activities. Like I said, it's possible.

What are you talking about, "free college"? No such thing. If you mean your parents wouldn't pay for it if you moved out, I sincerely doubt that.

 

[alevasseur14]

I believe for the purposes of financial aid, you're considered a dependent until you're 24. I turned 24 in Feb of last year and my financial aid more than tripled. There's a tool on the FAFSA website (you have done a FAFSA application, right?) that will tell you whether or not you're a dependent.

It's possible.

You're over 15 now, I gather. So that means that your parents got their shit together finally and are doing better providing for you and you prefer to whine about how unfair life is rather than appreciate the effort they put into getting clean and taking care of you. In general, if you were neglected as a kid then you have the right to cut them off but still not to "throw shit at them."

VA = children of disabled vets get education benefits. A friend of mine had his way paid through UC because his dad was a 90% disabled vet.

 

[ConstipatedVigilante]

Here's a little perspective, Trident: if you were truly busy and doing something to fix your situation, you wouldn't have time to post all of these whiny-ass threads.

Apparently, you don't have any friends. Well, that sucks and you probably feel like kind of a loser. But you know what? Everyone goes through these patches; everyone feels rejected, feels down, feels whiny and bitchy at times. But most people (except for the ones that call it quits and live in a dumpster) pick themselves up, find a job, get a hobby, become part of a group, etc.

Involve yourself in something you find interesting. I know it sounds like bullshit, but it can really be anything productive. I was pretty depressed last year (freshman year) because I wasn't connecting well with the people in my dorm, and I've realized that we just aren't the same kind of people, despite hanging out with them for a year. Then I studied abroad (which boosted my degree ahead by about a year) and made a ton of good friends while I was at it. And I started working out - now my self-esteem is high as the sky since I seem to have an endless supply of wimmenz.

So get off your ass and do something, anything. Bitching and moaning about it never makes it better.

 

[evident]

uh dude, your life is not shitty.

 

[Red Squirrel]

50k+ job? Really?
You can get your own place w/ a min. wage job- or at the very least, rent a room in a house (even w/ out friends- just look on CL).

haha no kidding.

I do 42k per year, and that's before paying taxes. Try 26k after taxes and everything else that comes out of the pay check. I own a house and a car, and still manage to buy some stuff I don't need every now and then (well usually it's stuff I do need such as electrical items but w/e). I went way overbudget with the initial renovations so I have a 6k loan not to mention 5k for furniture to pay by Sept 2010, but I'd have to say I'm doing half decent especially once the loans are paid off.

So you don't need a $50k+ job to live on your own. Just look at houses worth about 50k less then what the bank will give you.

But finish college first before you even think of moving out, but also get a job to pay for that college so you graduate dept free though you're mentioning free college so that's even better... That's a mistake lot of people do is get out of college with ridiculous debts.

 

[TridenT]

VA = children of disabled vets get education benefits. A friend of mine had his way paid through UC because his dad was a 90% disabled vet.

That.

I get up to 45 months of it. Includes like $925/month and tuition waiver. (I think they pay for books too)

BUT, that's AFTER I get the certificate for that shit. Paperwork takes fucking forever with the VA... They're really a PIA when it comes to this shit.

 

[MrPickins]

Two things:

1.) Perspective. Get some.

2.) Stop worrying about other people.
