I am 18 1/2 and got a 10 dollar an hour job at a movie theater as an usher and half my pay goes to gas and the other goes to the car payment. I talked to my parents about it and I realized they are idiots and outright told me I shouldn’t care about being paid and I should just be proud to work. Give me one fucking reason why I should show up tomorrow and not just stay home and smoke week and eat dominos paid for by my mother’s credit card?

Checked

You were born into a weird time in human history bro. At the verge of a collapse. You won’t be able to understand the Why of it all in any detail before it all goes pear shaped.

It doesn’t matter. What matters is this. Strength. Thinking Ahead. Sacrificing for those we care about. Building something. A life. No matter how small, so long as it is honest and sustainable. Helping others.

No matter what else you believe, who you think god is, or whatever subjective things otherwise shape you, every man in every age of humanity could agree on that as being a sufficient benchmark for manhood.

Do your best to achieve it, in the time and parameters you find this life in. Each life has its own challenges and benefits. Live to see Horrors and Marvels. To take life and to see it born. Focus on living and don’t become just another Monster.

Man, you’re making 10 dollars an hour to check movie tickets? That’s like dream job at your age. You probably get to see every movie for free too; even the shitty ones. Tell me you get bottomless popcorn and butter and I’ll shake you for even considering not going into work tomorrow. Cherish that job anon, you’ll be thankful you did when you’re my age

The whole house of cards is toppling faster than I imagined. I'm not even saving for retirement, by the time I can take it, this country will be a hellscape. Point is, enjoy the time you have now with friends and family, maybe learn some skills, medical, mechanic, grown some vegetables, practical stuff.

robert, why can’t i go inside by myself, i paid for the ticket.

well yeah why send 5-15% of your income to an account you can't even touch until your 65 that will likely not even beat inflation. The more you add the worse off you actually are. in some cases it makes sense for tax declaration purposes, or in leafLand you can use some retirement accounts as collateral for purchasing property and you only need to pay taxes after 15 years. so, it makes very little sense to toss this money into a black hole that will maybe pay you 20k a year when you're 65 where really you should be building an expense-free life and buying assets and building reliable dividend portfolios (although follow the market dont buy the tops)

Much better to put that retirement money into a trailer and an acre and everything else can be investment money, 10k per year for 30-40 years, very doable, besides in 20 years you'll be making twice the income and money will be worth half anyway so like don't even worry about dollar amounts think velocity.

These kinds of shit jobs are for 16yo highschoolers. Assuming you graduated or have a GED, you should be working on a trade cert.

>>525764109
It's a do nothing job that pays near minimum wage shit because that's exactly what it's worth. It has no future. Unless you expect to live with your parents for the rest of your life, it's time to build your life credentials to find something better.

Yes, they are rather foolish in this.
You have to be careful about taking life advice. You’ll never do better than the person giving the advice, teachers or parents or whoever, even in the best case scenario.
They usually have other motives for the advice they give whether they are completely aware of it or not.

look for another job. become an IT guy, move to a fracking town, do whatever it takes

Cars are meant to be a resource drain on purpose btw, it benefits oil industry niggers and car part faggots and a bunch of other companies AND the government. It doesn't get better the older you get btw, you will slowly see how most of society is designed to keep you miserable on purpose.

>>525765782
whatever this leaf is saying. The purpose of those Jobettes is to cash you up to pay for a car, gas, maybe get your wisdom teeth pulled if required, buy some bulking food, new shoes but that's it, it's not meant to sustain you on your own long term, and, frankly if oyu live at home with no expenses, you're too young to understand just how clutch it is to save and build and not do dumb faggot shit like buying 50$ action figures or whatever, be economical, masculine, responsible, you'll thank yourself in 5 years.

You’re built of glass or something? Working a trade and being ergonomic and efficient in your movements. For every unhealthy fuckwit on a worksite who hurts themselves I know one bloke in my crew that is old. And we’re in track construction which is harder on the knees and back than most trades

Join the military you fat pussy

Good for a resume, and if you still have to pay rent and car payments then you are better off with a job. That's about it. You should look for a better paying job like anyone else.

>>525760377
keep going to work and doing a real good job as #1 kiss ass, for a month or so, and make some frens at work.

Give co-works ride in your car and shit.

Also start process to get "Guard Card".

Then apply and become "Security Guard" at various after hours commercial locations.

They will literally pay you to sit in car or some office and play with laptop and shit post all night.

with own car, you might become a "floater" covering other "call offs" and see inside of a dozen businesses you never knew existed and might even find a real job since Security only answers to top management, and you will have 7.75 hours out of 8 to learn about the biz.

"Usher" to Security is a natural trannyition. Tell them you like being an usher but Rent A Cop is a career boost. :)

Sell your car and ride a bike instead. You'll lose some weight and have money.
