I picked downtown LA since I figured that's probably a pretty expensive place to live, being that you are among movie stars and so on. http://www.thelorenzo.com/floorplans/#/da-vinci This is the first apartment building I looked at. Your rent is $1000/month in a big gorgeous apartment you definitely don't deserve. You need about twice that in income in order to afford to live there, so that's $24,000 per year. Or, $12 an hour. If you wanted something nicer even than that, or a car, extra money for stuff you don't need then earn more than $12 an hour or live in a cheaper location.

Or they go to a trade school to be an HVAC specialist or plumber or diesel/A&P mechanic or something and make significantly more paying significantly less- the dude in your scenario must be a primo dumbass or lives in Santa Monica.

Zzulu posted:wow your american country sounds like poo poo From the refugee class who graduated in 2015 by making it to Germany, I estimate that right at this moment between 1,500 and 2,000 of them are lying in bed with German girls, whose pussies are collectively filled with gallons of recently deposited refugee semen. 1,500-2,000 German frauleins hosed tonight by the kebab fueled penises of just arrived middle-eastern and African migrants. Inside taxpayer funded, four star accommodation. Then imagine how many indigenous German males there must be sitting in their beds alone in darkened rooms, watching episodes of Naruto and wearing headphones plugged in their laptops. Goodbye Germany. Just bye.

symbolic posted:i thought it was mentioned before that jobs like those will gently caress up your health by the time you hit 32  you really think being a plumber or a dude who works on A/C units is going to have really hosed up health vs some office monkey sitting in a chair for 8 hours a day who is probably doughy anyway? Do you worry about your eye/posture health for being on the computer most of the day?

Yes everyone should pack up and move to LA, everyone, also jobs that pay $12 an hour all offer steady 40 hours a week and not 20-30 hours a week with open hours that prevent you having a second (or third) job, a car is an absolute necessity there so double that monthly expense (while halving that income available) FORGET health insurance, neighborhoods in LA are all SUPER safe and comfortable, all of them, yes, Or save that $2000-$3000 a month for several years of your youth and stay home near friends/family/support systems which quite a few are doing, as was once the norm, seems like?

Cuts, electrocutions, other subcontractors firing a nailgun next to your head while you work, hearing loss from of construction equipment next to your ear, arthritis in both shoulders by age 30, respiratory problems from breathing in attics full of torn fiberglass and animal poo poo, being mauled by a raccoon when you pop an attic hatch and are face to face with it. That was a hell of a job. With this office job I just make sure to sit straight and go to the gym, I'm not hurting anymore.

Technically they are my generation and I feel loving embarrassed to say that.

I like hate reading couples travel blogs. This one is pretty great.quote:Unlike normal twenty-somethings, we don’t own cars, a duvet, or even a toaster. Yo most twenty somethings are toiling in Chinese salt mines or some grimy brothel that specializes in eastern European war orphans. Toast may as well be loving lembas bread to 'normal twenty somethings." quote:And we’re okay with being “abnormal”. Especially if it means we get to travel more than the typical 2-weeks per year. Yeah you're pretty abnormal but only in the sense that you have all your teeth, and have never had to flee from an advancing war lord. quote:There’s something utterly addicting about travel. It’s like nicotine, but more expensive. Though it’s probably a little better for our lungs. If either of these specimens has ever smoked a cigarette I will offer up my first born son to be #1 catamite for the leader of ISIS. quote:If I could spend 90 percent of my day outdoors, I’d be happy. I grew up camping, hiking, and canoeing, and am totally in my element when I’m surrounded by nature. I'd say give Brazilian nature a go if I didn't think it'd lead to another loving blog about how your thimble headed baby is a constant source of inspiration to you.
