I’m 22, going into 23 in only 4 months time… and I’m flat broke. I need to turn my life around before I fuck up everything and end up beyond redemption. How do I turn my life around and actually escape this humiliating state of poverty. Im looking for a ticket out of brokeville. So far, here is what I’ve been doing

  • got a roommate
  • eat rice, beans, and boiled chicken
  • cold showers to save on heat
  • no AC or heat
  • use same clothes over and over even if ripped and raggedy
  • don’t ever eat out or do anything

    There is no quick money breaking the law schemes for you if you don’t have any money. Most of the quick lawbreaking money schemes involve selling large quantities of drugs or committing fraud and hoping you don’t get caught, which both require you to have resources to do. The hard fact of it is that unless you’re born rich you probably have to get a job where you’re honing a skill and find the best ways to sell your skill for the most profit. It’s stupid and sucks and it’s getting harder and harder to just get by, but that’s the great capitalist way unfortunately.

    If you need short term cash quick, probably the best way is to just go to a temp agency and do some manual labour. You’ll get about as much money for a days work doing that as you will trying to sell a stolen bike or robbing some gas station.
