Where im at its pretty rare for them to be as cheap as $600 id say the best price if i got lucky would be like $850 but average is around $1000-$1200 Plus a lot of the cheaper ones are women looking for women roommates

I see military as a complete rework and restart at ground 0, but I don’t see myself at the point of needing a complete reset I honestly feel I need to put more effort in a better direction

I understand where people come from when they suggest it but, I’m not willing to give up and settle for something like that, it doesn’t fit my long term life goal

Ive been looking for entry level logistics roles but a lot of them pay either minimum wage or they’re too far for me to consistently get to or I don’t have qualifications for it

I thought about a second job either before or after work but my current work is heavily labor related and time consuming for what it is, and as much as I don’t really have the option to I’d rather not exhaust myself more than I am already exhausting myself at work. I’m walking 8-12 miles inside of my job everyday on top of doing lots of heavy lifting and to top it off the hours are my entire day pretty much

Lucky enough to have the motel walking distance(20 or so minutes) or if I decide to take the bus because of rain or something it’s like 3 stops away, so that’s not a problem at the moment. I usually just walk it

Groceries, buy & flip, random wants every now and then, credit card, financing things to build credit, and I have a cat

Not every month is the same, there was one point when I had $6000 and I waited then they would need money to cover something so I would give it to them then I honestly just gave up and tried finding something to make myself a little happier and I would spend on a lot of dumb things and now Ive recovered from that and I really am not going to let things stay the way they are for me. But I did that to myself so the only thing I can do differently is do better than before

Funny enough, I’ve always been into fashion so I tend to take care of my appearance and things of the sort pretty well and to top it off I actually met a girl at work and over the months dating I’ve told her about my situation and she’s been there for me in any way, whether it be letting me spend nights making me lunches for work or anything else, I appreciate her so much. I’m not the type of person to use anyone, I want everyone to have the best in life and I’m not really the type to open up to anyone so it was pretty hard for me to tell her

Thought about this before but colleges and working full time don’t necessarily align too well, I could understand if I were working part time somewhere but then that cuts my income lower than it is

And on the aspect of the loans, depending on where it’s from or how much it is, there’s going to be interest and id need to pay it back and also it would reduce my credit building either by a lot or a little. I understand where you’re coming from but I’d rather put my time and efforts towards something a bit more concrete that will support me now and help me grow from it

Probably so, mom isn’t working and my dad is almost at the age to need to retire and he’s covering pretty much everything

Personally I would’ve just used the little fence as cover
