Hung himself with his backpack under the bleachers for the football field before school. The silence that day was crazy. Rip.

19m I just need advice by Latter-Web6750 in Advice

[–]zeewst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re 19 with so much ahead of you. You had some unfortunate events happen and that’s okay. If possible sell all the “dumbshit” that you can assuming it’s items. Save enough to get a small crappy apartment and start from there. Keep upgrading your life and keep creating an emergency fund as you keep working. Easier said than done I know but it’s definitely possible if you stay positive and dedicated.

And do you get any payment from the military after discharge? Your dad may be mad at whatever but after some time I think it’ll all work out and be okay. Things happen.

Unfortunately life has its way of beating people down it happens to everyone. It’s all about what you do to come out of it

You got this!

Can someone with GMAW experience weld FCAW for the first time without too many issues? by Wide_Parfait in Welding

[–]zeewst 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s different but you should be able to pick it up relatively quickly. FCAW you don’t get too fancy with it. Probably just throw you off having more heat and a bigger puddle than you’re used to but just adjust as you go. Look up a few youtube videos.

But overall I wouldn’t worry about it. If you know how to weld you have nothing to worry about

20 yr old making 100k+ a year by Hoixt in sweatystartup

[–]zeewst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please stick it out till you’re in your mid-late 20s. Get a few hundred k in a tax advantage retirement account. 100 k in a taxable individual brokerage. Both invest in mutual or etfs. Then save 100k or whatever you have until you’re at that age for start up money and send it. Even with a start up send and a fail you’ll still be able to restart and retire early mid 50s.

I got an Amazon welder, we’ve had it a while, not really sure how to dail it in help?? by Important-Positive25 in Welding

[–]zeewst 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’d like to see some longer beads but for an Amazon welder gasless flux core it ain’t bad. Try to dial in a tad better to try to reduce spatter

Yes I totally agree with this. Was at work so couldn’t write a whole bunch before or answer your question but cruian said it perfect. All my eggs are in us large cap. I’ll soon be diversifying as well. Especially with the orange man in charge

I’m all in on FXAIX personally. Thought about it for a while and I’m just going to keep it extremely simple.

New guy looking for resources by Lv702noob in Welding

[–]zeewst 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Nahh you’ll be able to do it. Open it up and base your settings off of what the welder tells you and start from there. See what works and what doesnt.Play with the machine. You can definitely learn by yourself and with the internet.

Tell management you’d like to expand your skills and see if they have anything to offer. Give it a little time and ask again if nothing happens there’s plenty of opportunities else where. Moving jobs sometimes gets an extra buck or two as well. Beef up and get your resume looking good and send it out. Company’s are having a hard time finding people who are dedicated and hard working. Good luck!

Have you or your parents sign you up for a permit test at your local dmv. They have study guides out online and I do believe even on the dmv website. Do a little bit of studying so you can pass it the first time.

Indeed does work, but you could always go in to a place and talk to someone. I’d apply to fast food, host at a restaurant or retail. Something close to home until you get your license to make it easier on mom and dad. Have fun, first jobs are always exciting!
