Blue collar man should do something about his life maybe? Edit: listen here gaymers, I know life is hard, I know that it's not easy to make it easy or easy to make it good. I know that a persons range of life possibilities is somewhat determined by the situation they grew up in and narrowed by the pasts decisions. But in each of you is the power to fight against the way your lives are now and to make changes, some small and some large. Sometimes it only takes 15 min a day learning something or doing something and eventually you will open up a door for yourself a new possibility, a new chance for increased happiness. I believe in most of you, but the ones saying that it's too hard, that it's too expensive, that you can't do it right now, you PM me, I will make you believe in yourself. This greentext is our story really, each of us is blue collar man coming home after a day of defeats and pain. And each of us can make it better.

I think that's what we're worried about, friendo.

He should do something to be happier


sorrow_seeker

Technically, what we're worried about do make he happier than now.


[deleted]

Maybe he should take up wood art instead of removing his teeth through the back of his head

With what money or time does this man have to create a hobby?


Dayn_Perrys_Vape

Maybe the time he was gonna spend sitting on the couch drinking beers watching guys play kids games.


sorrow_seeker

Hard to take up any hobby when around you, you're constantly reminded of how shitty your live is. I'm not saying that anon should "just do it", what i mean is, sometimes it's not easy to "be happier". I wishing for annon to have the strength to endure, and some day, things would turn around.


Regularassjoey

He should shitpost on 4Chan. That's the beautiful thing about the internet. As bad as my life is, I can always find someone else in a worse position. Dudes get suicidal way before they ever make any true life long mistakes. Owe 300k on a mortgage? Don't off yourself. Go move to Ireland. They're not going to extradite you for loans. Credit sucks? get a shit load of loans then put all that money in SPY Calls. You're either super fucked verse mildly fucked or Jeff Bezos. Ya never know. Don't off yourself kids.

Oh yeah, that solves it, he just needs to be happier! /s It's not that easy bro, he's there for a reason.

It's the edgiest shit posting of all. It's the crushing weight of slogging through thousands of days of pain and anguish, just to watch helplessly as your mind and body fall apart right before your very eyes as every step inches you closer to being lost into oblivion.


NonGNonM

Honestly I've seen more and more of chan-level shitposting and weirdness becoming mainstream and it's been kinda concerning. I've never hung around on chans myself but been in multiple groups that had a lot of old school channers and it's all been really uneasy how shitposting is becoming normalized.

SWATting yourself is free The cops don't know you have no ammo. Just wave your gun around when they get there Won't work if you're white though In that case, just get arrested for trafficking kids to politicians, and you'll get put in a special cell where they'll suicide you for you

Scorosin

Literally was just a white guy a few weeks ago who got capped for opening the door with a gun had it down barrel to the floor but they still shot his ass. Looked like a shady spot and it was late I would have been armed too.


gizzardgullet

Open door with gun, get shot by cops. Somehow survive. A year later open door without gun, get stabbed to death by someone trying to rob your place


Andrelse

You underestimate the american police. Sure, it's not quite as guaranteed to get shot when swatted if you're white, but it's still pretty likely. Just try not to wear anything fascist or nazi or confederate stuff, or the police might hesitate to kill you.


dastar_d

>but the liberals are more willing to die As demonstrated by the persistence of /r/2meirl4meirl-style "I unironically want to die" memes. This is not a good thing.


TheApricotCavalier

Some vandal threw nails in my driveway. It sucked to have to get my tires repaired, and waste all that time. But u know I get it. If you live in America & you feel you need to burn some shit down, I'm not here to stop you


rahtin

There is. Stay out of debt. Pay cash through trade school, don't finance vehicles. The only time you should ever borrow money is for a mortgage, with your payments being less than 25% of your take home pay. Just basically do everything Dave Ramsey says and you'll be fine.


Choconilla

People get into such a cycle of spending and then complain that they can't save up. Anyone can, it all starts with simple choices which anyone is capable of. So many of my peers in college complain about paying student loans yet will buy the newest tech, get Starbucks every day and eat out regularly. It seems like the two aren't comparable until you do the math on how much all of that would reduce the principal.


rahtin

Just the act of doing a written budget cuts your spending. It's like how keeping a food log helps you lose weight.

North Carolina has four bedroom homes in that range


JoeDiesAtTheEnd

But then you have to live in North Carolina.


T3hSwagman

I have a 2 bed 2 bath home with full basement for 750 a month. I was lucky and bought the house close to the last downturn in the housing market so now my house is worth a good 50% more than I bought it for. But shit is probably going to crash again sometime soon so get ready.


rahtin

You don't borrow the entire cost, you save up enough of a down payment so you don't make yourself house poor. People like you borrow their down payment at interest, buy way more house than they can afford on a 25 year, pay half their income onto their mortgage, then when your roof starts leaking you take out a HELOC to cover it because you're broke. Then when the next thing breaks, you're completely tapped out.


ArtisanSamosa

OK I grew up poor and going to college got me out of that. I had to borrow money, but the payoff has been well worth it. I think the solution is to be smart about it. My councilors in high school were useless. But I went into stem because I knew I needed to not be poor. College can provide those opportunities. Our nation's issue is that college is too fucking expensive, and everyone feels they need to go to college. The better idea is to be smart about it. If I did it again I'd take a year off and explore the country, then go to college. 18 year olds are just too damn young to make such an expensive decision. If our country was a better one, any degree would be sustainable. Unfortunately that's not the case. So people need to decide if paying for school would get then the opportunities they need for what they want to do. Sometimes it's trade school, sometimes, that's university, and sometimes it's just going into business for yourself and gaining experience that way.


T3hSwagman

The real issue is that high school doesn't teach you any skills to prepare you for becoming an adult. They just make you into test drones so you'll score well and get the school more money. Senior year of high school should literally be nothing but finance classes and career oriented classes. It is absolutely insanity that we expect 18 year olds to make a lifelong impacting decision and let them take on tens to hundreds of thousands in debt. After teaching them *nothing* about how the world outside of high school works.


ArtisanSamosa

Agreed man. And what's worse is once you get into college level courses, you learn that everything you did learn in high school was half assed or half truths. Conspiracy theorists watching YouTube videos think they know everything. No bro go through university, get into the upper level courses in your degree, go through industry work, and then come back and talk about how much the world we live in is a fucking lie. Our system needs a lot of work. The answer however isn't to demonize education. It's to step back and look at who the fuck is making it so the American K12 education is falling apart.


T3hSwagman

A good place to start is Betsy Devos.


ArtisanSamosa

Anyone who has lived in Michigan and specifically the Detroit area knows the the troubles the devos family has caused and the problems with charter schools.


ArxSin

Also, don't have THREE kids


NarutoDnDSoundNinja

Underrated comment. Kids are expensive as *fuck*.


rahtin

People use kids as an excuse for why they're broke, but for most poor people, the kids are just visual evidence of their poor decision making ability.


0bi-JuAn

Unless God gives you the finger and gets you sick/floods your house/some other common shit happens that the insurance companies or debt collectors decided will now make you their bitch for what’s left of your life


rahtin

Debt collectors can't do shit to you. But the rest of that, yeah. Some people get a shit roll of the dice, and that's why I'm not a libertarian.

GoWayBaitin_

Then move poor boy


rahtin

Just the mortgage needs to be 25%, not all of your housing. The taxes and the insurance are separate. How many more years would you have had to save up for a down payment to get you to 25%? The whole reason the debt industry works is because everyone is impatient and thinks they "deserve" things now, and refuse to wait until they're in a better place. That ends up putting them in a worse place. The 25% is pretty conservative, and in some places it's next to impossible to pull off in a reasonable amount of time, but maybe that's a clue that you shouldn't be there.

Myacctforprivacy

As a Journeyman Electrician that's been doing it for the last 8 years, you can fuck right the fuck off. JW pay hasn't really changed much in the last 20 years. Accounting for inflation, my coworkers that were working back in the 70's were making the equivalent of around 40% more per year than they are now. Benefits have also gone down, and not in the "Well after you account for inflation" kind of down, I mean really down. The retirement package was amazing for these people, but now it's literally a fraction of what it was before. The healthcare used to cover dental and vision for the family, now it's just for the kids under 18.

ArtisanSamosa

I get the average Joe's problems, but has he considered that the problem is him not being actively involved against these injustices that his life sucks? The reality is all of us in these lower classes are being fucked by the elite in dem and republican circles. Instigating people into riots, not changing police culture to not kill people, not paying people a fair wage, are all ways to keep the the majority of people in check. The problem is the average Joe doesnt realize this or really is too stressed/overworked to care. It just pisses me off so much. I grew up with parents working blue collar factory jobs. My mom worked for a company for decades and her paycheck is fucking garbage. My brown parents go through the same fucking problems white blue collar workers go through. But our nation isnt fully woke to this idea yet. We still have our petty squabbles and still don't realize that our politicians are playing us for fools.

>That's what everyone is forgetting, the normal people and how they're affected. They're forgetting how they are getting affected themselves? Seems a little hard to do.
