I wanted to highlight comments but I really have no time at all to do anything

Take a scroll and gawk at the thousands of manchildren gushing at other manchildren and insisting to one another that being older than 25 with a roommate is not only normal, but a necessity

At 21 you can have no college degree, no skills, a ton of debt, and live in a very expensive area, and still be able to move out of your parents house (with roommates) on a retail slave wage.

How a person has not bettered themselves at all by 30 is beyond me. 9 years is plenty of time to move into management without even trying. And that would be if you passed on the million or so other options to move into another field.

This is what I don't understand, if you're living with your parents you likely have: 0 rent, most of your food paid for, and free access to a car. Even on a low wage how have you not saved a shitton of money? What are your expenses?

"G*mer culture" is an expensive infinitely-regenerating mousetrap designed to keep poorcels poor. Conservatively, the hardcore g*mer guys I know are spending ~$650/mo on g*mer stuff between the subscription services, the microtransactions, the new games, the streamer subs and donations, the merch, etc. And on top of that, you don't get to really be "in the culture" til you have a gaming PC, which will run you at least $700-800 upfront.

The ones I'm friends with only have their own place because they live together and each work 30hr weeks at $15/hr. They're basically in a position where 1/3 of their income goes to rent, 1/3 goes to g*mer stuff, and then the final third is booze/weed money unless the car breaks down. They also b-word about income inequality all the time as if quitting booze, weed, and gaming for 6 months wouldn't net them $7k.

They're doing some niche streaming service's customer support; frankly, it's a bullshit job, but it keeps my unambitious loser friends alive and fed, so thank god it's there. These guys are never gonna "get a real job," they're too fricked up from a lifetime of being raised by the Internet. We're probably gonna have a pretty permanent underclass of men who never developed marketable skills and worked replaceable bullshit jobs their whole lives, because unless the culture changes massively, most of these men are never gonna change.

-online subscribtions that add no value like: betterhelp, calm, tinder plus, twitch subscribtion, nord vpn etc.

  • netflix, disney, prime, hulu

  • 10$ a day weed habit

-smoking

That shit will eat up a paycheck.

And there really are people that pay like 500$ for one piece of designer clothing and constantly buy that shit only to toss it a year later.

I can’t imagine a 26 year old who lives with his parents going out enough that clubbing is it’s own budget item. Buying two $15 cocktails when his tinder date doesn’t show maybe

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

These guys aren't doing clubbing, they're doing Groomercord drinking nights with their online buddies - and it's not fun club drinking, it's sad "technically not alone" binge drinking. I sat in on one of these that my buddies "hosted" recently and I swear it was like a dive bar for foids and a group therapy session had a kid. The jokes are all PC and buttoned down (can't offend the group train), the guy who lives with his parents blacks out within the first hour, and once enough people get drunk they start bitching about either far-leftoid politics or their personal traumas. This continues til everyone is too drunk to competently play games, then they disperse wordlessly til the next week.

Tbh if that was my main social outlet I'd probably be dropping $300/mo on booze too.

It honestly fricked with me for a couple days after the event. I always assumed it was a pretty depressing scene, but seeing it firsthand made me so sad for these dudes. They literally never had a chance; none of em are close with their folks, and this is what the Internet (i.e. their real role model) told them to be. Frick, man.

You're going to have to explain the insurance cost to me, both of my cars that have wildly different values cost the same to insure

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

States vary wildly but for a given underwriter, it has a lot to do with their experience with that car and who you are.

Teenage boy with an Impreza WRX? Insurance is expensive because they know you're going to wrap it around a tree.

25 year old girl in a CR-V? That shit will never go above 50 and damages will be minimal when she bumps into another girl in a Rav4 at the Starbucks parking lot.

Technology helps, too. We replaced a 2010 Mercury Milan with a 2022 Ford Bronco. Even though the Bronco is worth 20x as much and weighs more, the insurance is cheaper because it has emergency braking and pedestrian detection while the Milan just had BLIS and a reverse camera.

My insurance is already dirt cheap w/ an ‘06 Pontiac I’m wondering how much it’ll drop when I get a new ‘rolla.

Might go up, might go down -- Pontiacs are driven by a lot of teenagers which makes it higher-risk, but Corollas are a lot more common and more likely to be repaired rather than salvaged.

I hope the new Corollas are a lot better than the 2019 I rented.

Something safer you’d recommend? I refuse to use a gm car ever again after I’ve replaced a bunch of tiny shit every 2 months or so.

Oh I would never purchase a GM. My family has had nothing but problems with them. Heck, my brand new 22 Silverado work truck had to go back in at 500 miles for a new transfer case gasket.

The Corolla is fine if you're a non-enthusiast. I'm used to bigger, fancier cars so it felt too cramped and barebones to me. It was a lower trim, too. Camry will definitely be safer and more comfortable. Either way, you'll get the modern assists like pedestrian detection as standard with a Toyota

The higher trim levels have better instrument clusters, but this thing felt like a Tamagotchi to me, even worse than that base Dodge Caravan I rented. I was thrown off by how you still had to hold the key in the Start position the entire time it's cranking. The last car I've had that didn't let you quickly flip the key to Start and it auto-cranks was a 1996 Dodge Ram.

Like come on, it still has the little plastic peg sticking out for switching between odometer and trip.

Get a job, budget your money, find a cheap place to rent (maybe with roommates), sign the lease.

Advanced strategies:

Target good scholarships --> work your butt off for them --> go to college;

Zogbot enlisted route --> use the G.I. Bill to pay for college.
