Move to San Francisco. Arrive homeless and go to one of their new "homeless camps", where they give you a brand new tent set up on a 50' x 50' space. They give you 3 meals per day, hot showers and 24/7 police protection. Rent free living.
Also, you can walk into any store and steal up to $900 per day worth of merchandise, and the store can't do anything about it. The police won't arrest you either. It's free for the taking. You can then post the stuff on-line and make good money that way. If you shoplift the right stuff, you can make $10,000 per month in your spare time.
The problem is that you live in an honest area where people are expected to work for a living. Move to where they pay you not to work for a living.
Take a deep breath, don't let your mind trap you into a negative loop here. You already know your passion in life, seek a legit job that allows you to explore it further, I hope you find the foot in the door you know you should be looking for. If an opportunity comes up but, does not seem the big pay you were looking for, check into it further, IF you can grow within the job w/time, maybe just what you need. I am actually GLAD to see 22yr olds wanting to succeed and GTFO of parent's home.. too many are still there at 30yrs w/no incentive of living their own grand adventure in life and that is what it is, getting out there and grabbing life, making your own path/history, with it instead of wasting it away at home under your parent's shadow. Good faith to you.
Well anyways my parents are on my ass every day telling me to get a real job because they say flipping will never be a full time job like working a grueling job or something. Can I prove them wrong?
A good place to start is defining what this means in terms of flipping profits. How much profit do you need to make in a month to “prove them wrong”? Come up with a number, say $1,500 a month of profit. If you can’t make that much in a month, then you have reached a conclusion and can move forward with whatever is next.
I’m thinking maybe 500-1500$ a month will do it. I’ve seen people flip full time and I understand it’s a lot of work just like a regular job. But thanks to my dad passing the skills down to me, I feel like I can make it as a flipper. If I can’t, oh well, I will suck it up and find something I can enjoy. But the thing is.. I enjoy flipping way too much compared to a regular job. So I am just torn.
You could do both with less flipping. It depends on how many hours go toward the job. But, yeah, it’s not going to be as fun.
Part of the reasoning for getting the job is resume building and job history. It sucks that it works that the hiring system is that way, so sometimes it’s just figuring out the system and doing what you can to work it.
Yeah it sucks but I will suck it up and do it for my partner. I can’t keep having him drag me to the finish line because I am lazy and not caring about life anymore because of the insane state it is in. Being awake has done so much to me. Like when can we demand our money from the government? When can we rise up and take back power? It’s fucking insane what’s going on.
Well hopefully your dad has a full recovery I'm sorry to hear that.
I think you should look at getting a job and then flipping on the side
I guess I lucked out I work in a convenience store and I have very good benefits including life insurance health and dental and decent pay. I share a house with my daughter and we share the bills it works out really well for us.
And I really enjoy it I like my customers but I'm in Small Town North Dakota . I guess just look around you might find something you like that's the best advice I can give you
I am hopeful something will come my way that will motivate me to keep going. I’m stuck in this mindset for some reason rn that’s like well the world is ending or at the very least, cracking at the seams, should I even worry about money, bills, taxes, finding a place, etc? It’s a very anxiety driven mindset. Overthinking too. I find it hard to not fall back and give in. And he’s doing better. But I would’ve been livid if they killed my father. Because THEY released it.
The world has been ending ever since the world began. You have to still live your life.
Stop thinking the world is going to end and just focus on getting through things live your life as normally as you can that's the best advice I can. Because if you keep yourself on hold because you think the world is going to end then you will have no life
Don't make the mistake many of us do while waiting for better things we don't live our best life you're young your life is far from over make it the best you can
I hear you. Not sure if it will help, but see if you can find a part time job (full if possible) doing something you may enjoy doing and dont quit your current job if it works for you. I see a lot of now hiring signs in my area but people sometimes dont want to do ‘that’ job. I can understand your parents concern. They love you and want to see you progress. Im a crew chief in the landscape management business. But my dream is actually photography and graphic design- I just lost the fire but never stopped writing down ideas. Im lazy tired after work so that doesnt exactly help me. I had other landscaping odd jobs for some extra income but got out recently to re learn my lost art. Bottom line is to find something that you know you will enjoy doing and making income. Always stay positive! I was negative for decades before ‘wising’ up to the truth and getting back with God. Keep fighting!!
We have those in NC! I can’t wait until yard sales start ramping up again. I have seen my father make huge profits from flipping. I am hopeful I can follow in his footsteps.
At the very least I can speed walk. It’s so hard to not want to give up every day. But I am trying. I believe God has got my back. But he’s waiting on me to catch up to my own pace before he can show me the way further.
Man I feel embarrassed now laying all this out to bare to internet strangers… I’m probably going to delete my post now because I feel embarrassed about my struggles in life it’s not anyone’s fault but mine and I shouldn’t bitch and cry about it because others have it worse. I’m just sick of the choices the system gives you. Flipping is not apart of the system. They actually despise people who are not dependent on their money system or workforce.
Quit typing and go do something
...reddit will rot your mind...
...howls....
got that right
Maybe time to get a job and just sell on the side? 1500 is more than doable for two working young people. You got this.... if you really want it
The solution is simple.

Holy shit dude what a mess that city is.
...I think this guy needs something a wee bit more potent...

I deleted my post because after reading all that I don't know what to say.
...that says a lot...
...howls....
I’m just a worry wart. Tends to happen having extreme anxiety during these times because I am always expecting the ~worst~
Go to estate sales and check things out. You will be surprised what they have.
We have those in NC! I can’t wait until yard sales start ramping up again. I have seen my father make huge profits from flipping. I am hopeful I can follow in his footsteps.
estatesales.net and yardsales.net are helpful.
Much thanks!

I can't tell if this is a joke or not...
