So /b/ tell me something, why am I the "loser" to society when I have nothing to gain or lose from life right now other than living at home in America? I've talked to several friends who are in other countries and tell me it's normal to stay home and save money till they can move out.
>>767826946
Because you're 26 and still haven't figured out how to live on your own?
>live with mom because I'm broke and can't sustain a job
ding ding ding
>able to cook, clean, and sustain myself as a person
everyone can do that. It's called being alive you fucking idiot. How can you even think that's a skill? Only autist's can't do those things.
Get your own place and stop being a faggot. Start saving your cash and sustain a fucking job.
>>767827279
I was talking to some people about this and honestly, it's an American thing because we see it as "If you can't live on your own, you're not living the American dream." Everything is stupid expensive. How am I to live on my own at 9/h where I live in the first place?
Sustaining a job is easier said than done anon, and why is it? because most places that are hiring are fast food. McDicks hires at 7/h and is one of the worst jobs I ever had. I found a job that I don't have to flip a burger.
I didn't think I'd need to go into detail about this but I guess I will. The fact that Americans are so hellbent on getting out of their parents basement is honestly annoying and sad at the same time. Why? Because, why should I live on my own and barely making it by each week, not eating a decent meal and surviving on ramen and egg drop soup? Seriously. I've done it and it's hell, living with my mom, at least she buys food. So realistically, a job like that would be near to impossible.
Go ahead, do the math. I have, literally.
common bills - water, electricity, internet MAYBE, food, gass, car insurance, cell phone.
Don't forget to add up your weekly check for the month and then figure out how much you will have at the end of it all. And you can only use between 7-10/h finding anything higher is hard as balls. Only Wal*Mart does it and it's fucking stupid.
There is literally nothing wrong with living with your parents until you are financially stable
>>767827645
The face that you've spent the last 8 years graduating and are contemplating Mcdonalds and Walmart etc. as hiring options shows why you're a fucking loser.
You've made no attempts to better your life or even plan for a better one. Hell, you can even just double shift and work two jobs to support yourself before moving on to something better. But do you? No.
You're the reason our generation is given a bad name and people question our work ethic. Eat shit and join the army or something you fucking pussy, think of the bills your mom has to pay supporting you before thinking it's cheaper on yourself.
And like it or not, you're a loser.
>>767827645
Dear man child,
It's ok to live with your parents. It's not okay to financially depend on your parents. You start dating a girl and drop the bomb on her that you're living with your parents they may balk. Drop along with that you have a huge nest egg saved up and are waiting for the right person to move in with it's a whole different narrative.
Also get a guard card and work security. It's a relatively high paying job for an extremely low skill set. Shit is boring as fuck but at least it pays and you have to be dumber than a sack of rocks to get fired.
I'm 29 and Have to live with parents for two months while my apartment is being renovated (insane neighbor upstairs decided to do some DIY plumbing). I'm starting to wonder why I moved out. Is it to late for me to become a basement dwelling neet?
>>767828253
>inb4 OP says its too boring of a job even though he's an unemployed lowlife loser that feels he's entitled to options
>>767826946
It's not that you're not doing the right thing it's more like you're not doing enough. I'm 23 with a family and a career. If you're content however it doesn't matter what society thinks of you.
>>767827645
On big problem is where you live. 7/hr? That shit is criminal here in California. Fast-food burger flipping here gets you $15/hr starting.
I grew up in VA. Fuck that place. I was suicidal/homocidally depressed and saw no future. Look at where you are stuck, make a,plan to get the fuck out, and I mean move far away, then work to achieve that goal.
ITT: OP wants to not be a 'loser' in the public eye but refuses to better himself in any way in order to achieve this and instead demands others conform to him instead.
>>767827645
This most thing most definitely started because of the boomers. Back then having a part time job could sustain you, but now that is no longer possible.
This is also just an American thing, you'll never hear it as often in asian countries. In fact it's the opposite as families try to stick together for as long as they can, even if their children already has a family, sometimes they still live together with their parents.
>>767828787
>just an American thing
>every country on the planet besides third world countries or China
>>767826946
>Live with Mom
Why am I the loser?
26
Get it together dude.
>>767826946
I worked in a call center for a few months it paid a livable wage and I got to play wow all day but I caught myself pondering suicide and ditched to pick up a trade.
>>767829001
easier said than done friendo
>>767829001
Btw I'm 28 now. Live with father. No schoolling past some college. I know I'm not a loser because I too can take care of myself and look okay. But nigga I'm certainly LIVING like a loser.
>>767826946
kind of in the same boat, saving up for my own place so i keep my family house maintained since i literally see no point in renting a property
>i have my "own" place
>shells out a fuck tonne a month on a gay little apartment
>i'm so grown up
>>767829074
No actually it's easier than you think because I'm turning my life around and getting back on track for a few months now. Work out regularly. Sleep. Cut back on games and needless spending. Study stuff. Look for a home you can afford( they exist) all you have to do is stand up and do it.
>>767829303
He's spending his time complaining about it on /b/. What the fuck do you think this little retard is going to do? Fucking kek
>>767829303
>Cut back on games and needless spending
>not figuring this out years ago
you're beyond hope
>>767826946
What are TCGs?
>>767827963
I will use the line "You don't know anything about me other than what I've told you" Line.
Currently, everything I want to do is impossible, anything I've tried to do is hard as balls to get into due to the technology behind it. IE music, game designing, school in general, all cost a lot of money that I don't have.
>>767828253
>work security
not a bad idea anon
HOWEVER it's not that I don't want it we just don't have a lot of places that need that type of security.. AFAIK
Also no, the last few gfs I've had didn't care because they too lived at home but had a kid. The last gf I had, she lives with her grandad and has a kid and took her ex back only because she wants her and her kid to have a daddy... he's abusive.
>>767828311
As someone said, it's cool to live with your mom and dad but not financially dependant on them. I'm trying my best.
>>767828570
I can agree to that anon
>>767828599
From what I heard here in GA it's legal to pay someone 5/h but most places are smart enough to pay 8. or more a lot of times. My fireworks place said 9. My old subway was 7 and my boss was at 9. I asked her if I could ever get a raise and she said "You kidden? The owner wont even give me a raise..."
>>767828755
Never said this anon or think it. I just want some advice on what to do.

You're only a loser if you let people convince you that you are, It's not your job to impress people or live up to their standards. You just gotta find a way to be cool enough with yourself to be happy and just try to stay that way until you die that's basically all life is.
>>767829441
>trying my best
No, you're not. You're 26 which means you've had 8 years since high school to do something.
You could've been working minimum wage since then while not paying bills like you seem to be now and still would've had something saved up to A) move out B) move somewhere where you can get paid C) learn a skill to get paid
etc.
You're a self-entitled faggot and instead of looking on here wondering why you're a fucking loser, you should be looking in front of a mirror.
Kys or accept you're a loser. Or both.
>>767828787
>boomers
this, you could quit school at grade 10, get a factory job, get married and buy a house
>>767829375
????? Just a tip not going completely on my own experiences.
>>767829536
but I know plenty normal guys with wives and kids who get pussy who also play magic the gathering. This is just some nerd shaming shit you got going on and it's kind of more sad to shit on them so vaguely
>>767829568
>You're a self-entitled faggot Kys or accept you're a loser. Or both.
Uk fag here
Bought my own house at 25
Now married at 30 with no kids
Pretty much all my friends my age still live at home with parents.
>>767829670
>hahahahhahahahhahahahahaha
>>767828599
>7/hr? That shit is criminal here in California. Fast-food burger flipping here gets you $15/hr starting.
That's because the minimum wage is based on the cost of living in your state.
>>767826946
I moved out when i was 19 and never went back to being a cucked faggot. Youre 26? There's no hope.
>>767829758
>everyone who plays a card game is a virgin
That is your logic and it's retarded
>>767829825
>cucked faggot
remember when you used to say "u mad?" then it was "u jelly?" then you started saying "nigger" and "faggot" and now you say cucked, you're a programmed fuckboy
>>767828787
>part time could sustain you
Oh I know anon, I've looked into it. back in 55 .75 cent an hour was great when bread was 5 cents, milk was 5 cents, and the most you spent on your family going out to eat was likely 10 bucks.
>Other countries don't do this
This is my point. My brother is very succseful currently. He has enough money to move out of his mom's house (same dad) with his gf who is about to have his 3rd kid. He makes enough money to sustain everything but says he doesn't want to because why should he?
>>767829291
>>shells out a fuck tonne a month on a gay little apartment
>>i'm so grown up
EXACTLY!
"anon, why don't you ever go out with us when we go to the pool hall or game night at the arcade?"
"I am broke dude! I can't come out until I get a raise!"
>>767829303
>He thinks it's that easy
I'm not even going to use mental health as an excuse even tho I do have anxiety but I've pushed my way through it.
The issue is not me with work, it's the fact that these boss' expect WAY too much out of people and that's why hiring at mcdicks is constant. I hear people bitch about it all the time. They just want enough to live on
>>767829432
Yes Trading card games HOWEVER TO THOSE CALLING IT VIRGIN MERIT BADGES NOT TRUE
I've played about 14 different games cause that's what I enjoy as a hobby. I don't see a point in making it bigger. But I'm done for a while. I may stick with Yugioh. Dunno yet. But as 1 anon said it's just some nerd shaming shit and honestly when you think about it, he's not wrong, we are on fucking 4chan after all
>>767829565
most of the time I dont tell people I live with my mother so there's that
>>767829568
>thinking he remotely knows me
alright anon I have a little under 300 words to use
I have had issues keeping jobs in my area due to it all being fast food bullshit. Other jobs are manual labor, I am a skinny no muscle white guy. Other jobs around here require a degree that cost money I do not have.
>>767829670
>>767829758
I know the owner of the hobby shop I goto. He's married to this cute indian women and he has a kid from a previous marriage. A lot of the older magic guys, legit have kids and married. Fat and married but they are content. Even fat people find love
>>767829809
>based on
Even then, it's not enough to sustain anything here. If you are ok with living in a trailer or your fucking car.
>>767829960
>cucked
The act of allowing another person to have sex with your partner
bump to help op
a friendly reminder that living at home and paying board and renting are the same thing, you filling someone elses pockets only renting seems to make people think they're independent… so independent in fact that they can't afford to buy their own place outright, fucking hell…
the truth is everyone in this thread and on /b/ is a loser, this thread has had me laughing because it's literally like watching retards fight and call each-other retarded.
Also, saw the comment about TCGs, if your an adult and still playing that shit or D&D then you need to reconsider your life choices.
>>767827879
Agreed. Until exactly 10 months after you graduate university at which point it is horribly wrong and you are a pathetic loser.
Get your shit together, losers.
>>767829074
No it isn’t, you just have to actually be poor for a while you dumb fuck.
Move into a cheap studio and work every hour you’re allowed. Mommy will probably put up the down payment for you.
>>767831044
>Also, saw the comment about TCGs, if your an adult and still playing that shit or D&D then you need to reconsider your life choices.
