What age did /b/ move out of their parents house?
Surely not everyone is a basement dwelling fagtard, but the reason I ask is im 19 years old and I'm trying to live on my own, but I'm not making adequate income to move out, i currently make 9$ an hour and want to die.
What's your secrets oldfags? How'd you do it?
>inb4 move in with friends
>inb4 suck dick 4 cash
>inb4 Craigslist
>>752519661
Secret is look for decent priced apartment. And be very careful of your spending.
>>752519661
i live in DC 9/hr will get you a fucking broom closet in anacosta where you will be stabbed and sodomized by niggers
if you're looking for a serious answer then you have to live with some other people in order to pay rent
2 golden rules for poorfags:
1: cheap accommodation.
2: flatmates.
15 and made 35$
Dropped out
Moved in with gf at the time in a apartment
>>752519805
Yeah dude I spend a lot of money on fast food and I'm just gonna start eating ramen all the time like a poor nigger child.
>>752519970
I'm in Houston rn so rent isn't too bad, 700$ a month will get you the nicest kind of apartments you can find as long as you stay in the suburbs.

>>752520507
20USD that he got a degree in english
>>752520507
i did. but my current occupation which is government with a high percentage pension and maxes out at 120k base at the lowest position... isnt even close to my field. i got lucky. problem is, i net 2400 a month and still cant afford to move out cause my loans are so exuberant.
but if i could do it again id join the navy and do electrician shit.
>>752520684
biology. pay up
moved out at 18 making 9/hr. got an apartment with two others for $750/mo. slaved away, slowly but surely.
might need to move out of the city
March 3 2010
Joined military because I didn't want to be a hometown nigger working like the Home Depot wetbacks. Now I have my own apt
>>752520708
>but if i could do it again id join the navy and do electrician shit.
or you can do what i did and skip the navy, get an apprenticeship at the nearest local, get certed in tons of low voltage shit, learn computers in my spare time, then become a sysadmin making $54k/year with benifits, loan free and credit good while spending my time shitposting on 4chan
i got fucking lucky dude

Find a transitional area where you're between the hood and white people land and then find an older apartment complex in this area. If you're somewhat situationally aware you should be ok.
>>752519661
30. moved to another country to make some moonies
26. Found a cheap clean quiet apartment in the best location in town. Been here 5 years.
23, making $15 an hour. Bought a house, which I just paid off.
>>752519661
I was actually 23. Its fucking hard finding a good enough job to do it by yourself. Dont rush it /b/ro you will almost certainly need to find a roommate or something i could only do it when i moved in with my now wife, and the mother on law still lives with us, but helps pay a couple of the bills just because she wants to.
Oh btw i live in NYC and rent here is fucking retarded
>>752519661
I was 17(few months shy of 18) when I moved out. I just hustled. Slept very little. Ate very little, not cause I didn't have food, cause I was just busy busy busy.
Get another job. If you're single its easier, You're young, possibly single, and you've got nothing but a goal to get to. So use that to just grind the days away.
>>752521187
>23

Where the fuck you live? I think you're full of shit.
>>752519661
>lole b sucks
>but i still browse and make shit threads to contribute to the overall shittiness
thanks for your hard work
>>752521187
haha you did not buy a house at 15 dollars an hour or if you did you're incredibly stupid with your money. Either way you didnt pay it off mortgages are for like 30 years...
>>752519661
You're 19. If you want to move out you will need roommates like 4 dudes in a house style. That's life bro. .. the whole on your own thing won't happen for a while unless your inn a high end field.
>>752520258

you're in the same ship, son. you just have a different shade on.

Movied out when I was 19, moved back in after a divorce when I was 24
Moved out again when I was 25
Moved back in after a divorce when I was 29

>>752521322
I live in a small town in Michigan. 1200 sq ft. I made $15 when I bought it, make $26 now. Took me 12 years to pay it off.
>>752521520
No dude its just literally impossible for him to have paid off a house by the time hes 23 at 15 buck an hour. Those loans take forever to pay off.
>>752521879
You bought a house at 11? Fuuuucking bullshit
24 now. I bought a house in July and the mortgage is about 800 a month. I'm in Alberta.
Had to live with my parents of course until the July I left. My Gf works at the mall and brings a decent pay home for our leasure money.
I am a journeyman mechanic now and basically my paycheck will keep the show on the road and my good women brings the cash for camping and ski trips and shit.
I'm just greatful that my relationship with my parents was solid enough that it allowed me to take the time to get credit and a big enough pile to make a 10% down.
I have basically a shack that's 750 square feet and in a seedy part of town but it's mine.
>>752521446

>>752522014
Quote me the sentence where he implies /b/ has gotten worse.
You're just a low tier troll
>>752519661
18. but that was 20 years ago and shit was different back then. I made $8.50 an hour cash and I usually came home with about $400 a week because I worked saturdays too. That pretty much paid my month's rent for a basement studio apartment with heat, electric and tv included. I had a shit car that I bought for $300 and insurance was just about nothing. No college, so no college loan but even that shit wasn't so fucking drastic back then.... Didn't have cell phone bills back then or internet or cable to pay for. I bought cheap food like pasta and soups and gasoline was cheap too. You could do that 20 years ago at 18 - by yourself - just working at some local hardware store and do OK for yourself, at least the basics enough to get by and still have enough to buy your beer for the week and an occasional dinner in a decent restaurant. But shit has changed, I'll be honest I don't envy you twenty-something's at all, shit is fucking expensive and you're getting raped.
>>752522000
I bought 3 houses, lost two of them in the divorces
>>752521765
The way to avoid divorce is simply not to get married again.
>>752520258
maybe instead of eating fast food you could read a fucking cookbook, by the ingredients, make it yourself and not be a stupid fucking nigger. ramen is only munchie food, not a meal. god damn I wonder how many of you faggots eat garbage all the time.

I mean idk why people hate on others for living with their parents. Free food, free rent, no bills besides shit for my car, motorcycle and phone bill.
>>752519661
I live with my girlfriend, and the only reason why I'm still with her (most likely) is because she helps me pay the bills.
Fun stuff.
>>752522728
Because they're immature
what I did was get my CNA/LNA license which allows me to work full time making 16 dollars an hour and now I can easily make it alone at 18. the key is to find a good job that pays well, then everything else just fits together.
>>752520644

moved finally into my own place with 19
Most people in my financial circle still live with their parents and they are 25+.
No jobs or ability to buy a car sadly.

This isn't a bad idea since you can complete the classes in a few weeks and get a decent paying job. But its a shitty job, but whatevs, gotta start somewhere.

I'm 28 now and haven't spoke to either of my parents in 8 years. Fuck family dude, the only person in life thats got your back is yourself. I own my home, put myself through school, have a nice car and a zero debt. You gotta earn it man.
16yo, got a 2 floor two bedroom aswell as basement to myself for 150 a month due to knowing the landlord. Worked at cracker barrel at the time making 11.50 USD an hour. The more people you know the easier things can be..
>>752522813
What's a CNA? I've had interviews at HEB and FedEx both pay decent but I didn't get the job because of my record.
Almost 34 and not moved out yet
It's fucking painful, but current debts mean that's the way it is for 3 years or so
At least I'm not in the basement though
>>752519661
moved out when i was 18. didn't have a way to support myself so i entered military service

Also should note no degree.

>>752519661
I was 24 when mom had a bipolar trip and kicked me out because I said it wasnt cool that she told her friends terminally ill dad that he deserved his cancer because he was a smoker. I luckily had some cool friends that let me move into their storage room for nearly a year before I transferred to a full time position in my company and moved into my own apartment with another friend. Ive been there ever since, and mom died in a motorcycle accident so I'm in the process of getting her life insurance. Karma.
>>752522390
A lot. Very many. Some do rice but most don't.
>>752519661

You're asking the wrong people dude. Being born in 1980 or 1970 is a colossal advantage to anyone who become working age after the 2008 permanent economic crash. Still haven't recovered and never will.

They made your grandmother do it? Man.
>>752519661
18, 1995. had job already at $15 hr doing computer shit, had roommate, had gf.
get some motivation pussy OP.
>>752519661
im 34 and still live with my parents, why the fuck would you wanna move out in this economy, i live with my parents and sibilings and pay 300 a bucks a month, i can buy whatever i want lol
>>752519661
Depends on how you view it.
I went away for college at 18. I still went back for visits, even spent my entire Christmas break the first year at home.
I never went back home to stay after my third semester. I moved to the city my girlfriend was from to find work and eventually finiished my degree there.
So either 18 or 20. In my 40s now.
Some people are just good at making money. Have a good friend that: sells weed, quickly became a manager at biggest liquor store in town, does nude modeling at art school, and he and his gf paint rooms in houses for people. He doesn't use a bank, and has stacks of $100's. He lives in her house and his bills amount to paying her $250 a month. And he rides a scooter so small that he doesn't even need a license for it which gets great mpg.
You don't need a degree to make money, just go do some shit, and quit being a faggot.
>>752523987
You still have to live by their rules? What about marriage/SO?
>>752522886
we say I love you's and I do like her, but the relationship is just really hard
19. me and my twin brother moved out of town and got a place to rent while he goes to school. I got a job as a custodian at a highschool which pays enough to support us both. I'm planning on buying a place that's 10 min away from work and will be taking part time college courses to be a carpenter
>>752524201
of course not, i pay rent.
And marriage, fuck that, have some hoe cheat on you then run you dry? hell naw dawg, thats what craigslist hoes are for, sex then drop em
>>752524356
also doggo girls
>>752519661
I just got a factory job and moved out when I was seventeen. Was making 14$ an hour but quit it last year because the place was fucked and started waiting tables. Just save up money and don't be a twit. Also live in Canada because we don't pay people nine fucking dollors and hour.

>>752525258
Yeah because working at a liquor store that brings in 6 figures a day is totally the same as selling crack on the street. You're retarded.

Yep thats what I said, the weed is probably like 5% of his income, way to completely miss the point. I can see why you'll always be broke.

>>752526338
Yeah I saw that all the time when I used to bother working. At least your future is secure.
I'm really bored of this planet man. There is literally nothing here. It's barren and empty. I am waiting for death. I don't even want to improve myself because it might give me a bad impression of what I was supposed to do on this planet. I don't want to make money because it's going to get sabotaged anyway. I'd rather be sabotaged without effort than with. All while pieces of shit take my tax money to live the high life in the new Soviet Union. Boring. Like living in bad movie I can't walk out on.
>>752524213
Did you try having work?
>>752524413

>>752520258
Go join a trade. If you aren't a lazy faggot and you aren't going to school you need to do something with your life anyways.
More than likely you'll start at close to $15/h. If you take that plus a roommate you can get the fuck out.
>>752519661
18
Roomed with buds for a while. Got a stable gf and moved in with her. She graduated, I went to trade school. We married, I graduated and got work.
For you? Do the trade school thing if you've got nothing else going. Stay with your folks while you do it if you're not willing to have roommates.
Getting some kind of skill is the only way out of a shit-tier existence for most of us.
>>752526888
>Join a trade
Yes let's all be born into families with established trade union nepotists so we can all join their family-only trades. Genius!!!
>>752526979
Are you fucking stupid nigger?
Google Carpenter's Union and the city you are in and see if there's a union. Any nonworthless faggot can do it. If there's no union in your area call all the general contractors you can find and ask if you can get a job as a helper/laborer and get ready for them to put you through a bunch of shit jobs to try and make you quit for a year or two. If you survive that you're on your way up.
>>752519661

>>752527126
>call all the general contractors
>work as a shit laborer making minimum wage roofing houses
yeah no
I was 25 but i had already bought a house. I worked my ass off since i was 18 and saved 46,000 to buy a fixer upper. I bought the house when i was 23. I bought a travel trailer and parked next to the house. Lived there with my wife until the house was ready. Dont buy stupid shit and save money anon. Dont get in debt buying a new car. I drive a 2005 car I've had since i started working.
>>752527126
You could try being a Plumber or Electrician because they make more and do pussy work, but if you want to be constantly busy go for being a carpenter and work to get proficient at concrete form work all the way through doors. You'll stay busy forever and make good money.
>>752519661

>>752527311
the view is always better when looking at it from the top
Gotta have roommates till you get a better job. The math just doesn't work with your salary and living by yourself. Do you have a car? If not , live with your parents and save up for a used car. It's key for living on your own trust me. Living with your parents isn't bad especially at 19, use this time to save money and get the things you'll need in life.
>>752527224
Google General Contractor and then come back.
I started out as a Laborer for a large GC and later joined the Carpenters and by the time I was a third year apprentice I was already a foreman. By the time I Journeyed out I was a superintendent running multi-million dollar jobs making even more bank, and now I run a company doing $30m worth of work a year.

guess what i was making? 8.50 a fucking hour and i was there for 3 years.
you can only guess that i quit that fucking job after they gave my promotion to the mexican that was supposed to move away.

You are delusional. You got in at the right time or have good connections and assume everyone else can. Trade unions are the most nepotist shit I've ever seen. Construction in general is a very nepotist industry, and I hear it's the same for many corporate jobs. This isn't the 80s you idiots.
I'm 20 and making $8.75 at fast food. You're doing better than me, op

Believe it or not, IDGAF. You can have the faggot defeatist mentality and be a fucking loser forever, or you can go bust your ass and make something of yourself. I've got dozens of employees that do just enough to not get laid off, but when the going gets tough their gone, and I've got guys who would do anything for the company that I've paid while they were sick for months in the hospital and they make $100k+

In the west it's not hard at all. Where I'm at the trades are literally running adds on the radio to attract people.
I am 26yo im obese and i live in the basement of my parents house. You might think now im the classic basement dweller but no im not. I do have outside activities and i have a social life. I go atleast twice a week to a bar and try to hook up a qt. I also try to get in shape so i walk and sprint in the neighborhood. Still i cant stop craving for fastfood thats why i feel depressed everytime i feast on the burger meal. Please anons how do i get of this habit of eating bad but want to improve myself to the point of being a chad and have to walk home with the ladies clinch on my legs
>>752527658
>This isn't the 80s you idiots.
Most of the fags you're talking to entered a trade in the 80's or 90's. Nowadays it's a lot different. My dad has the same view as these other trade guys but the only way he got me a few trade type positions was through his connections otherwise I'd be stuck in fast food right now.

That's literally how anyone young and poor moves out.
Find a roommate. Doesn't have to be friend. Sometimes it's better when it's not your friend, if you guys don't have compatible ideas of cleanliness and noise, etc.
The key is roommates, lots of them, split the rent and live off cup of noodles until youre 25
Month after my 18th bday I went to a party and met a girl. And I just never came back home. 3 months later we married. I have a career, house , a car and a kid at 20. Just get out of the house more

Bullshit. I've personally put 3 people into the apprenticeship this year alone. The out of work list here has less than 20 people on it right now. They'd take anyone that has a HS diploma at this time.

Hey you should just avoid the source of your anger and call people dumb on the internet. It's called leaving the nest.
You asked why people don't like it. They can't relate. I think four other anons have said this in different ways.
>>752528279
if you think i'm even reading your replies i'm not
this is an experiment to see if you'll keep replying
>>752528224
It did, but here it's back. The 2008 meltdown was good because it purged all the worthless talent from the books.
>>752528236
congrats on hiring your imaginary 3 people out of 300 people looking for a job. lol
>>752528206
I mean, how much do you have the potential to see?
>>752528236
Bullshit. I stopped trying after the 100th application. Fuck it now.
>>752528305
fahit
>>752528173
Stay worthless, and keep blaming your problems on everyone else, instead of realizing that you're a lazy piece of shit.
>>752519661
I was told by my mom that I had to be out of her house on my 18th birthday. I sold the majority of my stuff and went to basic training a week later.
>>752528305
Thats pretty edgy
>>752519661
At 19 you're still young enough for Job Corps
>>752523118
That's really depressing. This was almost me, except I'm 20 and I go to my parents house once a week for dinner. I barely say a word when I'm over there but they're just happy to see me.
Then again I don't know your story. But you should at least give them a chance, talk to them, your parents aren't going to be around forever.
>>752528316
It never recovered unless you believe the mainstream propaganda news. Improved for the wealthy only.
>>752528393
Shitheads who got a lucky break blaming everyone else for being lazy LOL. People have worked 10x harder than you and made 5% what you have made.

>>752519661
I moved out at 17 right after my mom took a $5k loan out in my name
>>752519661
First moved out when I was 14 if our guest house counts.
Moved away from their property completely when I was 17.
Bought an apartment for 2k (far north-Sweden, everything cheap as shit) and lived there until I was 20 then I bought a 2 room cabin outside of town.
Worked as a garage cleaner and helper, then mechanic.
>>752519661
22 years old, still living with my mom and bro. Doing a decent job, with awesome pay, but part of that income goes to my mom. She has just quit her shrink sessions and im just there to support her financilly until she gets a stable job, then im out.
>>752528520
Mine sold everything I owned, women amirite?
>>752528668
See this is fine
>>752528459
That's republicans for you... when you're a billionaire it's easy to say everyone else is lazier than you, oh but you were loaned 3 million dollars to get where you were at, that's besides the point you lazy mong.
>>752523118
Tell me that you at least spoke with your grandmother
>>752528459
>It never recovered unless you believe the mainstream propaganda news. Improved for the wealthy only.
I can't speak for the rest of the country, but where I'm at we were hit harder than most places. I think at the worst we had close to a 40% foreclosure rate. We also took longer to start recovery than most places as well, but now that we're moving forward construction literally can't keep up with demand because of labor shortages.
>Shitheads who got a lucky break blaming everyone else for being lazy LOL. People have worked 10x harder than you and made 5% what you have made.
I work 60-80 hours a week. I have everything I own tied up into a business that could literally leave me sitting on the sidewalk begging for change if a dozen things went wrong. I managed to make connections and build a company during the worst recession since the great depression, often not even collecting a salary so I could keep payroll going.
Luck had nothing to do with it. You can suck my dick.
>>752528668
Thats some fine-ass chivalry right there
>>752528049
If you make connections, and are likable, you would be surprised what you can be hired to do.

This was all because I met somebody who had an in. Sure there are the old boy clubs out there but you’d be surprised what work ethic, networking and charisma can do for you.
>>752527766
k where's the proof? fag
>>752528829
Typical leftist. Blame everyone else for your problems instead of looking in the mirror and realizing that if you actually tried to do something with your life, instead of being a whiny faggot, you might be successful.
Moved out when I was 16, stayed in motel for 6 months full of junkies and hookers.
Mom and dad were both in the army, dad serving abroad all the time but when he was home he's beat the shit out me every day.
Broke three ribs and cracked my jaw a couple times..
So I said fuck it, borrowed some cash from my uncle and got my self that shitty motel room.
Worked a gas station after that and then upgraded to cheap ass apartment that bad but better than the motel.
Got a better job and eventually got a flat in a nicer area. Where I live now, 27 years old. Story of my life boys.
>>752528878

YOU ARE BUILDING AGENDA 21 CITIES WITH TAX DOLLARS YOU IDIOT. THE ECONOMY IS NOT IMPROVING.
>I work 60-80 hours a week. I have everything I own tied up into a business that could literally leave me sitting on the sidewalk begging for change if a dozen things went wrong.

Luck had everything to do with it you fucking idiot. I worked in hard construction for 4 years and all it got me was into more debt after an injury that was never paid out. Fucking worthless idiot.
>>752528829
Not just republicans, people born with luck and rich parents.
>>752528929
Right, it's about who you know, not how hard you work. I saw people who were always on vacation promoted in the jobs I sued to work, because they were the owner's son or brother.
>>752529046
Good job, man.
>>752528988
I'm fine thank you, I'm working my way through school and have an internship. But the way you typical retarded republicans think is simply retarded. Just defending the truth instead being like you calling everyone who wasn't lucky lazy fucks. Surprises me everytime morons like you make it anywhere tbh.
>>752529050
>YOU ARE BUILDING AGENDA 21 CITIES WITH TAX DOLLARS YOU IDIOT. THE ECONOMY IS NOT IMPROVING.
YOU ARE FUCKING CRAZY.
>>752529107
and there are places of employment not like that too, or start your own business
>>752529156
You keep using lucky and I don't think you know what that means.
>>752529178
Are they stack and pack apartments with vertical stripes by any chance?
These are not privately contracted buildings. More tax money parasitism. And you call yourself successful LOL.
>>752529197
I am surviving off my own business but it's not doing well because everyone works at Walmart and can't afford my services. One of our clients just lost her job.
>>752529229
k grampa, hardwork will get you anywhere you want all the time. ideally yes, realistically No.
>>752529110
Thank you.

For some reason I read that with a heavy southern accent. Yehaaw..
>>752529326
We do 0 residential/apartment/condo work. 100% commercial/office/industrial.
>>752529431
That would fit fine, Alabama here.
>>752529326
Let go of those feelings or choose a lower quality of life.
What a time to be alive.
I moved out at 20 to go study abroad.
I just got a really shabby cheap apartment for about 250 a month and cooked all my meals and quit soda. I managed to earn enough for that working 3 days a week.
>>752529443
Yep, just parasiting off tax dollars, building agenda 21 apartments. Tell me now, do they have vertical paint schemes?
How "successful" you must be taking our tax money.
>>752529542
I don't parasite off tax dollar construction jobs. I have to take money from the private sector from people who have few low paying jobs. The only way to survive is to rely on the few rich clients we have. That's the new economy.
Inherited my grandpas farm when I was 11. Moved there when I was 17. Had no fucking clue how to run a farm.
Somehow figured it out though. Still here 8 years later.
>>752529610
>Yep, just parasiting off tax dollars, building agenda 21 apartments. Tell me now, do they have vertical paint schemes?
>How "successful" you must be taking our tax money.
You're insane, and apparently can't read.
>>752529610
Quite.
I can't move, there is at least 6 years left on my housing queue here in town before I'm first in line.. Can't leave town either..
Fucking commie bullshit shouldn't be allowed.
>>752529677
Commercial work, public works projects by the government. Fucking parasite.
>>752529610
I was born into a wealthy family and i browse /b/ at work at our family company.
>>752529765
We don't do any public works projects. It doesn't fit into our business model because the paperwork is fucking retarded to do the jobs and it drives our overhead up making us less competitive in the private money market.
Try again.
>>752529815
Lucky but don't ever confuse it with hard work or any unattainable quality that us lazy plebs can never achieve. Just luck. Nothing wrong with luck. But there is something wrong with being lucky and having your head up your ass. Like that other guy I was responding to. The agenda 21 builder parasite.
>>752529610
coincidentally, all the competitors who do accept tax dollars seem to be found more of a community interest when it comes to property rights. the way of the dodo
>>752519661
im 18 and can afford to live in a major city, idk why youd have problems. 400€ rent, 550€ payment from apprenticeship, 200€child support (money for people under 21 in germany) and some more as a requested support in a few weeks.

Suck a grizzly bear's dick.
>>752530072
That's how it works here..
" The city’s queue for rent-controlled housing is so long that it’s being considered by the Guinness Book of World Records. On average, it takes nine years to be granted a rent-controlled property – and that jumps to two decades in some of the most popular neighbourhoods"

You faggots still living at home are doing it wrong. Are you claiming nobody told you that you'd have to learn a skill or trade after high school?
>>752527713
This only a cultural thing. It means jack shit.
Think people moved out of their family mud hut in prehistoric times? How about the elite families of the past, royal and dukes. These families stuck together because that is how you built a fortune. The shame we put on those staying with their parents serves the empowerment of the state.

Only thing I learned was how to avoid getting beaten at home..

Think about it dude. How many people have worked way harder than you and have nothing but debt to show for it?
The opportunity to work hard for something of value is LUCK. Period.

Leave your house plebs, do something with your lives, make connections with people, work your ass off. It's the american way and if you're too lazy to see that then you deserve poverty.

>>752519661
Moved out at 22. Narcissistic parents tried sabotaging my finances for a decade so I'd move back in. Resisted well enough to survive. Finally bought a house and car at 35.
Go to trade school, anon. Contact local Mormon Deseret Industries, Vocational Rehabilitation center, or Welfare Office and ask about training.
Plumbing and HVAC will start around $25/hr., Medical Coding around $45/hr., CNC Machinist starts at $30/hr.
