How do you make money?

[drownll]

I really really need money, i have 0€ in my bank account right now, forced to live in a shithole ghetto with people I hate. I don't even have a room i sleep in the living room, my sisters have no respect for me they are noisy and wake me up every nights. I feel like an animal, everyday is a nightmare.

My main goal is to leave this fucking hellhole. I'm planning on becoming a sailor for the Marine, as i will be housed and fed. I'm staying there 2 years saving up then i get myself a small apartment, and then hopefully i will never have to be in such a vulnerable state again.

And then, my plan is to make a living online. I see it's more than possible now. I'm willing to do anything, streaming, YouTube, tiktok, anything. Working a dead end shitty job is depressing i don't want to do it.

How do you guys make money?

I do some freelance 3d modelling / graphic design, the learning curve can be steep, but I enjoy that sort of work. It's not enough to consider it a real job for me, but it helps boost the income from my day job a little. If that sounds interesting look at Blender (for 3d modelling) and GIMP (free alternative to photoshop) and work through some YouTube tutorials and see if it's something that might work for you.

Office job.
Gonna get fired soon so I gotta get another office job.
Would recommend those to anyone that hates themselves, doesn't value having freetime or boundaries and likes to cover multiple different fulltime jobs worth of work alone withouth the pay to match the effort.
There might even be a burnout in there for you as an added bonus!

Shoot your shot at the online stuff. It's either a nice hobby or you blowup and get lucky.
Also you will keep your soul with that one.
If you do I recommend following drama chanels to see what people get cancelled for so you can avoid it and to start purging your social media. People go digging deep once you are a public figure.
Just might wanna think of a more reliable additional income source in the beginning.

By working a fair job for a minimal wage (at least relative to the extent of the work). It's a sweat shop honestly. Not really (not relatively to what this term refers to usually), but I'm tired nonetheless. I never had no job. A 15 year "career" with a 2 year hiatus in the middle when I was going through a though phase.
I tried to be a criminal, a small dealer way back but very soon realized I'm not built for that life.
So, steady job. I don't enjoy it, not at all, but some distraction is good, however apparently menial my job is, it can be meditative, SOMETIMES, maybe in it's own banality. And I have to spend 8 hours a day with myself less, which is always the best upside. Getting a reward for it, enough to have a more or less secure existence, is a good enough deal for me.

If you have a passport, you might consider working on a cruise ship, There are plenty of jobs there that don't require any experience and it would instantly get you out of your bad living situation.

I live in my gfs flat. Wish I had my own place. I get disability money from the govt but not much. Barely enough to get by. Fucking sucks. Get shitty mh treatment from the NHS that doesn't do anything. Good depression treatments are only available to the rich. Fuck the rich cunts

I would like to know more about this thing, to get out of my desperate situation. I don't have a passport but I think it can be remedied. I seriously need something like this to get me out now.

I just quit my office job and this is exactly what it was like

It's sad but your post made made me laugh because it's just so true

Good luck to both of us

I met her in a psych ward 12 years ago we hit it off quickly but were separated, but got together a year later, we'd stayed in touch a bit by text and phone. I was too ill and had to end talking but then like 10 months later she got back in touch, we quickly met up and got together, been together ever since, 11 years later

for me, to make money, i stream on twitch. it's just a little bit though.

what i am going to try to do is rig live2d models, as it is extremely lucrative if you are good. and i mean like base prices go for $800 at least because of the amount of time and labor that goes into it. i find it fun and i pirated the software so i don't pay for it (bc i am broke). that's me.

 

[iamalreadydead]

work at a Chuck E. Cheese knockoff, it's fun and I like it. I'm trying to milk the shit out of living with my parents and save enough money to buy a van to convert into a living space

OP mentioned wanting to become a sailor so I thought this might be a good intermediate step. If you look at the careers pages for the various cruise lines you can see the jobs. If you've got any experience in food service you could be a good fit for line chef jobs, if you've got experience in retail you could be a good fit for customer service jobs, etc. - to the best of my understanding they're most interested in enthusiasm and good work ethic. I haven't done it myself but I met a couple of guys who did and liked it. It's a tough life for anyone with strong ties to family at home, but OP sounds like they are in the total opposite situation.

You said it, if you've got any experience. What if you don't have any experience, or anything official to write on a cv? This is why i'll write a post here on sasu soon

Im studying engineering, but I've recently done some landscaping. It doesn't pay much, a little under 6€/hour. It's for some public institution, once an older man asked me if im employed there or i have my own company, because he'd need someone to trim his garden bushes.

You could try out the army, in my country they have camps for young people (at least you have a place to sleep and are away from home). My friend went on one of those and they have some basic training and ride in military vehicles. My dad used to be in the army, sometimes they offer you to live at the military base/barracks while you work.
I recommend you take a look at this, this guy went from a soldier to a very successful twitch streamer (Escape from Tarkov)

I'm incredibly lucky and work in the trade union movement hence it comes with amazing benefits.

 

[StarlightDreamer]

I'm lucky enough to be in the 10% of schizophrenics who work. Currently I hold an office job, where I spend my days "programming" in the CRM software my company uses.

The pay is pretty crummy, but it's a union job, and the benefits are excellent. I've been in much worse spots, so I'm not going to complain about it.

I'm going to dealer school to become a casino dealer
