Respectfully I’m not a 20 year old with his whole life ahead of him. I’m 32, beaten-down and tired. People don’t look at me as a fountain of potential anymore.
I rebuilt my life (for the sixth time) in 2020 at the age of 45. My biggest lesson in all of this was to trust God. I was an atheist until 2020 but received a message from God that I needed to relinquish control and allow him to take the wheel. It was a pivotal moment in my life -- and a reminder that we are right where we're supposed to be.
I’m just gonna add that God stepped into my heart after a long period of me half-heartedly participating in that relationship. It came with a thirst to be close to Him like I have never felt.
It seems that God has done this with a lot of people. Never going back , I’m fully embracing whatever the Lord has for me.
Everyone older than you would love to be 32 again. It's all the perspective you choose.
Pick up the book, "Think and Grow Rich," by Napolean Hill. It's a great starting point. Once you've consumed that a few times, keep reading other self development books. It's all about building momentum and that starts with your first good choice, then your second. Before you know it, you'll be on your way.
Another great book is, "How to Win Friends and Influence People," by Dale Carnegie. This one will help you become an excellent communicator and there are few things in life that will help you achieve more in your personal and professional relationships than being a good communicator.
You've already demonstrated your courage and bravery in choosing your life over the Mandate. Never forget how strong you are. Many people can't do that.
You've got this. God has a plan for you. He will show you the way. 🙏🏻
Well then you're a 32 year old with his whole life ahead of him. Who cares how other people look at you, how do you look at yourself? As others have mentioned, it seems hard to find good workers these days. If you're a hard worker I have no doubt you'll look back on this as just a bump in the road. Be optimistic.
Please dont. I am currently 66 years old. I got laid off a great job in 2020 but because I was close to retirement I did not look for more work. I got this great job at the age of 48. Thats how long it took me to get a decent job all jobs before that were minimum wage. Unlike you I did not save any money so I am now 66 with only pensions. We moved to a small town on Manitoulin Island picked up a cheap house and we now have our own garden in the back yard. We have spent the last 6 months picking up canned vegetables and tomatoes, beans etc with an expiry date 3 years into the future and have enough just in canned goods to do us for a year. Plus we now grow our own vegetables and have 2 freezers full of meat. Also a generator in case the hydro goes out, propane and a wood stove. You need to get prepared. 32 years old is young you still have the rest of your life ahead of you. This upcoming food shortage cant last forever so things will turn around.
I would say pretty much all over. Hit the job boards to find even HS diploma can pull in over $50k in a state or city job. Anchorage has huge deficit in framers and roofers for construction. Too much work, no people.
I’ve got 20,000 to my name and a pickup truck with my belongings. Where do I even start?
When I was your age, I had a $0 and a Chevy Beretta.
You're already better than me.
I'd go to a temp service and see what local jobs they got just to keep money flowing until you figure your next move.
Learn home repair, learn how to work on your car, learn how to grow food, learn how to barter your work and manage a small business.
These skills are invaluable, and will help you save money as you get older.
More importantly, pray to God to nourish your body and mind, and read the Bible.

I’m 42 - would be interesting to hear that story. I feel I took the wrong fork in life a decade ago and wish I would have taken the other route.
I’m just gonna add that God stepped into my heart after a long period of me half-heartedly participating in that relationship. It came with a thirst to be close to Him like I have never felt.

You give me hope, thank you. I’m 44 and I’m starting fresh in a couple of days.

Yes! It's like a snowball effect in the other direction!
First you have to push hard because the momentum isnt swinging in your direction, but once you start, you can't stop! Winning gets easier and easier!
I second these book choices. Then re-read them every year. You pick up something new from them over time as you grow and evolve.
You've got to look at yourself as a fountain of potential. God does, and thats why he has a plan for you in the Great Awakening.
I bet there's 50+ year olds on this site that would love to be 32 years old during the awakening.
Id get a job and start making friends with a local farmer. If his harvest is limited, he is likely to give to people in his circle first.
Doing handyman work in agricultural areas is satisfying as can be. Cash money and barter=freedom.
Everyone needs a hand with something. Build your skills as you earn.
Man, if I was 32 again....... I'd be way less broken and twice as productive.
Me me me me !!!!

LMFAO.
It was a decent starter car, but once I started working on them, I got into Hondas and Toyotas for their longevity.
Not crazy about the way cars are heading at all these days.
Keep heading to Alaska. We need decent workers here.
I wish man, I’m Canadian though,
I’d give anything to be able to live and work in Alaska you have no idea
I know Canadians that live here without citizenship- just sayin
I hear you and to be honest, if I wasn’t a single man with no reason not to stay and dig in for what’s coming, I’d consider legally moving to Alaska.
You should apply for citizenship here in the States, maybe secure a work visa down the road.
Hello fren, what parts of Alaska are best to start looking for work in? What kind of workers are in short supply?
I would say pretty much all over. Hit the job boards to find even HS diploma can pull in over $50k in a state or city job. Anchorage has huge deficit in framers and roofers for construction. Too much work, no people.
I'm down to my last 60 bucks and I also have a truck. If I can hang in there, you can too. Don't give up. Start over elsewhere.
May god bless you and send you all you need right now, dear fren.
Thank you, fren. You have no idea how much this means to me. Thank you
Perhaps this will give you some additional hope, comfort and strength, I found it yesterday and went to sleep with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIhI8vkNgnk
Montana
No jobs
No jobs in Montana? Thats categorically false, but even if it was … Wyoming. Coal country is big$ Jobs.
I started with a lot less,so you are in pretty good shape. I would start with making sure your truck is in good repair.
