I started with a criminal record for petty narcotics pos and a 'computer tresspassing' record guaranteeing me unemployment almost everywhere except manual labor. I was also living in a SRO in the worst area you can ever imagine, had no money, huge debt and couldn't even finish university so washed out in the second year due to poverty.

STEP 1 - GET A FUCKING JOB

Any job will do. Some shitty manual labor position is great because then you also get some activity in so you aren't a fat bastard.

Easy jobs to get are landscaping (usually pays under the table cash), construction clean up, warehouse, or whatever you can find on your local Craigslist 'gigs' section. Alternatively there's the dreaded nightshift tech support. Look around for these on CL, or move to somewhere in your country where the jobs are. In Canada this means terribad mining and oilfiend work but it pays like $40/hr and there's nothing else to do up there, perfect for studying.

For me, I got a job at the post office and delivered mail, which meant I got off early and had lot's of time for school. Also consider institutions that will pay you to learn a trade, such as telephone companies and whatever else.

STEP 2 - START SAVING MONEY

So what website do you have to fucking use to get good information? I'm trying to move to another city and I saw on the news there's lots of killing in one area that's black on black.

I want to check if it's going to be near my job or apartment. How the fuck do you check? I'll be there on assignment for two years while a school is being built.

When the US was a free country, you might have thought that everyone loved freedom, peace, and a balanced budget.

Now that the USA is a police state, Americans can easily see who are the slaves and patriots.

Anyone who obeys the law is a traitor and anyone who resists is a rebel.

Let's talk about ways to make cash online, it can really help out and once you get efficient with it and have a good group then you're golden.

I won't lie, I'd like to find a person or two from this board to be in a new group. You wouldn't believe how fast and simple things get when you get everyone working together well and can make the money on nearly autopilot, depending on what method you are using. Also tips and resources are always good.

How do you generate revenue with it? I recall doing this like 10 years ago, editing my link into those vids that would redirect to chaturbate affiliate link. I got like 2 people to register but never anything worth cashing out. Sounds kinda interesting now that i could probably automate the process or parts of it.

The "best" supplement really depends on your health goals and needs. For instance, if you're seeking improved digestive health, you might consider a probiotic. For enhanced energy, maybe a B-vitamin complex. Remember, no one-size-fits-all — https://www.gundrymdbiocomplete3.com/reviews offers a broad array of supplements to cater to diverse needs, always ensuring quality and efficacy.

That depends what you mean. For basic data encryption a VPN will suffice. If you want to go full schizo then delete all of your accounts everywhere, use TAILS on your computer and throw away every smart device you have.

Hey /Jews/ I've been trying to live the frugal lifestyle. Recently moved into an apartment in Southern California where I'm paying 840 a month for a studio. I don't really have close friends that are financially stable enough to room with. My question is though, (got off topic)
While living a frugal lifestyle, what do you guys do for fun? When I loved with my parents I had disposable income and didn't really care about saving. I could go out with my mates and get drinks or another hobby of ours was shooting but all of that is so expensive. I guess gaming but that gets old too.

TL;DR what do you do for fun that's frugal?

I used to always try to save on food and on my own health. I sincerely advise you not to repeat my mistakes. Even nutritional supplements such as Bio Complete 3 https://www.gundrymdbiocomplete3.com/ will be an effective way to support your body, improve microflora and improve the functioning of the digestive tract. Among other things, this supplement has no side effects, which is very important to me.

learn how to make money out of money. It doesn't matter how much you invest or in what you invest. The most important thing is the investor. If you are a complete beginner, start with the Rich Dad Poor Dad series from Robert T. Kiyosaki.

Does anyone have experience or interest in building tiny homes? They are usually 100-300 sq/ft. made of found and recycled materials cheaply. Some run on solar and wind power. I work a part-time job and I'm thinking of starting a tiny house project. I can buy some materials and there's plenty of scrap around me to use. I have some carpentry skills and general know-how. Anyone interested in the tiny, minimal, cheap life?

I'm not speaking against it, it's just that there are realities that you only start to encounter when you life long term in a mobile structure
Many people who own such structures live in them on and off and this is fine- but they never run into the problems associated with long term occupancy.

Many people value the mobility of these homes- but long term you loose that mobility as soon as you have to fine regular work.
You can go happily for years moving from caravan park to caravan park- but what about when you have a regular job?

Just be aware that the longer you plan on living in one of these structures the less like a holiday in a caravan and the more like a tiny house it becomes

Agree that it is always unpleasant when something breaks at home, especially when it is such things as pipes. Fortunately, I managed to avoid this because I found a great company that knows how to do a good job of installing and repairing https://houseintegrals.com These guys know their business well and are well versed in all the nuances. I like that I can contact them at any time and they will do everything quickly and reliably. These guys are just right.

To start freelancing you will need to build a portfolio, this is a evidence based resume showing that you reliably complete projects.
The words reliably and complete should be capitalized here because that's really what companies are looking for, you're being hired to save their people time.
They don't want to communicate with you, they don't have time to go backwards and forwards or to negotiate prices.

Set a reasonable fixed rate.
Prepare to deal with scalpers who take jobs then outsource them even cheaper, often impersonating the client.

Remember the platform exists to exploit you, your labor is the only thing the platform is selling.
The platform will try to ban you if you take clients elsewhere, there's no right or wrong here and no law to appeal to.

The end goal is to get regular work from a foreign firm, prioritize clients who need the same thing done over and over because they are the ones that can offer you a living.

There are many types of work you can do but be fully aware that half the people doing any one of these are professionals who've done that for ten years.
On platforms half the profiles are fake, the people are actually working for the platform in secret to make it look like there are skilled workers, and to manipulate the pay being offered.
