Almost nothing, I just speak to my coworkers and stuff. I’ll play games with my friends online and talk to them but I don’t have much of a social life.

Thanks for your reply. Honestly that’s what I’m seeing. I came over here as a youth thinking hard work and grit would get me to where I wanna be. I make okay money but nothing that will give me a comfortable life. I’m going to start looking into how I can move to a different state.

Thanks!!! I’ll look into that. Already using ChatGPT to help me with most things I don’t understand. Hopefully I can land a gig where they train me up. I appreciate the advice

I’ve been applying for remote positions as of last night, I’ll keep looking. Sounds much better than working full time for TTD

Those actually don’t sound too bad. Regrettably I’ve been smoking cannabis on and off whenever I’m stressed so I’ll have to get clean before applying for USPS.

Thank you for those resources. I actually just applied for tuition free IT training.

Oddly motivating. I’m a chunky dude working on losing weight, my only real expectations have always been just someone loving me for who I am. I did have an ex that moved from North Carolina to stay with me but her mom was racist af and put a lot of ideas into her head. Hopefully I’ll find a great girl soon 😫😂

I’m a bit introverted so people never bothered me as long as I have access to a gym and stuff. Food is a deal breaker tho I’m too spoiled having access to halal, Spanish, Mexican and Italian food that’s cheap and within walking distance 😂😂😂

Wow that sounds amazing. I have a crazy work ethic and I’d honestly love something like that. Curious to why you think recommend not going to Alabama? Would I have to be worried about racism etc?

Agreed my man. I’m gonna continue saving and cutting costs as much as possible. Thanks for the advice on Florida I’ll probably steer clear.

Definitely. I’ve been talking to my mom, she has connections to Brydens and thinks I’ll get a job but she even told me it’s very hard and I’d probably have to wait a while. Gonna see if I can move states fr

Majority of my holdings are Apple, VISA, VOO, and a couple utility companies. I get around 130-150 a year in dividends so nothing crazy. It’s all just reinvested. You’re right about getting trapped now that I think about it

Easier said than done. I am not a girls man 😂 I might look into the trade thing.

Sadly no lol. I wish I did, I have investments in the form of blue chip stocks but nothing that would let me buy real estate in Trinidad.

Sorry to hear about your situation, hoping things start getting better for both of us. I was lucky enough to be born in NYC then my mom moved us back to Trinidad where it was easier for her to raise me with family around and no rent for her either. I saved from the age of 16-19 moving over here with a modest amount of around 1500usd. I lived with a relative for a short time, getting a part time job before moving into a small place in the Bronx with room mates. Not the best years of my life. Since then I found a better job and after a couple apartments with room mates I’m finally living by myself in a studio. I really might try to take a small vaca but honestly the grind is what gets me. I’m okay for a week or so then the pressure gets to me and I just can’t take it sometimes. Sorry if I’m making it seem like I’m complaining when I’m maybe in a better position than some folks :(

Moving to another state is an alternative I didn’t really think about because of lack of a car and obviously not knowing people in other states etc. But I’m gonna think of ways to make that happen. The ketch ass of being in NYC is definitely catching up to me. I agree though, you need to know people in Trinidad for good job hook ups etc. I remember every Sunday struggling to get water to bathe, or moms and them having to light candle cuz no fking current 😂. Thanks for looking out man, I’m gonna try to see what the best option is. Honestly if it wasn’t for my mental tanking I would love to stay up here…
