why the fuck would you end it instead of looking for a better job?

32
one year off

Can I ask how that happened?

15€ is pretty nice, my mom do 15€ in like 3h of working

Any Forums specifically isn’t known for being smart.
no way be happy with what you’ve got. Fucking people that mine diamonds who get paid barely enough to feed their families get their hands or fingers chopped off for not making quotas or other trivial shit. People in Africa have literally dirt and the fear of being eaten by lions and other shit. Australians can’t even breathe without something trying to kill them. It’s a fucked up world, but it could always be worse.

I’m 31 and make 25.50 is that good ?

Are you happy, most of the time?

yeah that’s actually very decent

Honestly I'm mostly happy but it feels like I can never earn enough money. I have a meme bachelors degree in business because i was a drugged out loser in college who just floated by. Now I've been working dumb entry level IT jobs for $15-$16 an hour for a few years and I have no motivation to try harder. Idk maybe it's depression maybe I'm just a fuckin loser at heart. Idk why I'm telling Any Forums this but fuck it.

How do you pay your mortgage and feed your family on $15 an hour?
I'm so glad I applied myself when I was in my 20s, so I can enjoy a cushy well paying job in my 40s.

I live with my girlfriend who makes around 18 an hour we don't have kids and we rent a shitty apartment. Obviously wish I would've done better in my early twenties but my life was a mess.

I don't understand you. You're happy most of the time, but you're considering killing yourself because you're not making more money. What is the purpose of earning more money then, if not to make you happy? I don't get Americans. You study shit you're not interested in, so you can get a job you don't want to do, so you can earn money you don't need. For what purpose? You only get 1 life. If you spend that 1 life on shit that doesn't make you happy, you fucking wasted it. You can't spend this life working your ass off, and then somehow transfer the money you make this life to the next life where you get to be happy.

>wish I would've done better in my early twenties but my life was a mess
... and here we are, user. The results of your labors in your 20's. You'd think it would have been drilled into you how important it is to work hard and not fuck around, but I guess some people only learn the hard way.

Maybe I didn't explain well enough. I'm happy mostly but money is getting tight and the stress is beginning to make me depressed/anxious. I can't work this shitty job the rest of my life either because mentally it's draining and I'm tired of being broke. I'm just venting honestly sorry if it seems fucking retarded

Yup

>sorry if it seems fucking retarded
You're on /b mate. Everything is retarded. Most people seem to think learning a trade is the way to go. Is that not an option for you?

> but it feels like I can never earn enough money
I'll let you in on something, you can be earning $200k+/yr and still feel this way.

I make a good bag, I got a nice AMG GT merc I razz around a bit but past that I don't really enjoy much and seldom feel happy. Most of the time I feel I am just looking for ways to pass time...

I'm so poor I jank out my teeth with pliers instead of getting them done, but I'm easily happy 95% of the time.

I suppose it is. I would probably just have to save up some money to get into a program/class to be able to get started in a job.

Yeah I've heard that from family members that have money but I'm just tired of the hardships that come with money being tight. Hospital bills, car breaks down, groceries and utility prices rising. I'm sick of feeling like I'm one bad day away from losing everything.

Except when I'm trying to eat potato chips. Because missing teeth makes that a fucking chore.

I'm sorry you have to deal with that but honestly I could probably learn something from that mentality.

I think that's what the user means end that job,not his life....I think...?

I don't know what the process is. But the most important thing to do when you've defined a problem is to start figuring out solutions. A lot of unhappiness is generated by recognizing problems and then waiting for someone else to fix them. We're trained to do that shit, society trains us to look for authorities to fix stuff. But it almost never works that way.
