I live with my mom, buy used clothes, and take advantage of seasonal sales.

I still live at my parents and save most of my income, but occasionally I fall victim to consumerism. I have a few very expensive pieces from Rick or Julius but most is from Asos or similar.

You make 64 dollars per hour? Isn't that a lot?

It's roughly $133k before taxes assuming 40 hours a week, including vacation.
It's not too much, but I plan on eventually finding a SO, which will increase income.

I’m buying a lambo in June

>how to budget/choose
At any given time I have about 100-200 bookmarked links to clothes I want to buy. I just go buying straight down the list. I don’t play favorites unless something is exceptionally rare, interesting, well priced, or likely to sell out in the near future.

What is your clientele like? Is it mostly old ugly women or do you get good looking girls who pay for your services?

>still live with mom
Are you not moving out because you’re paying off student loans?

What do you resell and where?

Darude isn’t 22. Darude was probably 22 in the 90s.

Putting $120k down on a 2015 Huracan 610-4. My payment will only be about $2k a month. I plan to keep it for 3 years. At that point I’ll have about $200k saved, the car will sell for about $140-$150k, I’m going to take all the money and use it as a down payment for purchasing an established business. At the end of it all, I lose ~$45k to depreciation over a period of 3 years in exchange for living one of my greatest dreams.

No ty

You’re probably not into cars so you don’t know the difference between single clutch & dual clutch transmissions but it means these cars are worlds apart. Basically, the gear changes on the aventador are very “dramatic” and make the car uncomfortable to drive at regular speeds. It constantly throws you back and forth every time the car changes Gear and ultimately make the car slower. With a dual clutch transmission the gear changes happen so fast you barely even feel them.

I get all my clothes from sears and kmart by playing daily sweepstakes games on their websites. This totals in the hundreds of dollars every year.

This is my reality.

Literally what are your shopping proclivities to make that "not too much?" Fucking diamond studded Liberace suits? Do you have a pet tiger? Jesus Christ, fuck out here dude. "Not too much"...

Literally what do you buy to make you feel like you don't have a lot of money.

What a weird fucking job that you have full bennies but only make a fucking paltry 10.75 an hour.

Not even making fun of you bro just think thats weird and interesting.

>autopsy assistance at local morgue
Dunno, job is both well paying and effay af, but clearly not something that gets you many friends. Also seeing all this shit every day hits you pretty hard, I started to suffer from depression half a year after I started (explains why it pays so well, shit fuck's you up mentally).

That doesn't pay well at all, you're not even making 30K a year

Dunno, I live alone in Germany and it's enough for me. Leaves me with ~850-1000€ after taxes and all expenses. 200€ for food, 100 for gas station, 100€ for going out, 200€ for saving up. Have around 400€ to spend on whatever I want in the end. Helps that I habe 0 debts and bad habits.

woah, how does the PhD system work over there? I'm doing a PhD in a STEM field in US and I get about $2500 a month for being a teaching assistant. The job itself is really easy but of course I have to do a ton of (unpaid) research. I don't think I'd have time to work an actual part-time job, considering my teaching job takes only like 5-10 hr/ a week.

Being a pharmacist requires getting a professional degree. Pharm schools are relatively competitive, and you have to pay for it. Imo 100k a year should be the minimum you'd expect to be paid after getting PharmD/PhD. Not everyone is spending their entire salary on Veeky Forums clothes lel.

>24

>apprentice engineer in the Air Force

>£18.8k

Not that guy but I’m doing a PhD too, my stipend is approximately the same as your teaching assistant salary

What field are you in? I don’t have to do any teaching assistantship but lab work is so much time that I can’t even imagine teaching alongside it.

As for the actual thread question, I don’t go out much except when I’m with my gf, only buy uniqlo or thrifted clothing so when I see an expensive piece I want I can cop without guilt or breaking my wallet.

I'm in math, so I don't work in a lab, just with my advisor. It's relatively lax for a PhD imo, I could probably get away with staying home all the time. We prove useless theorems for a living. I dunno how we get away with it lmao

Some friends of mine are doing PhDs (in other fields) where they have to work in a lab tho, so I know the grind.

>Fashion Marketing / Merchandising
Wtf is this shit?

"uuuh creative degrees are too hard, i'm too autistic for design i need to make a degree that's about numbers and consumerism and shit but still sounds trendy"

> 17

> Browse /fa all day because family is rich

> $57m

Creative degrees are only hard to get a place. If you aren't doing communication design good luck finding a job afterwards, because field is comepletely oversaturated.
Marketing is shitty degree people who study economics think is "cool and creative". It's extremely boring and not "yo I will make cool advertising!" every student hopes for.

I'm on welfare and I shop mostly at Walmart

iv'e been buying tones of clothes since i was 14 and still fit them

generally buy few but expensive pices second hand or on 70% sale and just use COS or weekday for other basics

It's really hard to get out of this mindset if you don't have to, and don't have somebody to help you.

No addictions, live in an accomodation at work so rent is pretty cheap and got free electric, gas, water, etc. I could save more money if I wasn't eating for lean gains. I try to shop for the cheapest healthiest food tho, so I eat pretty much the same things everyday.

It's a very specific degree. It focuses mostly on the technical aspects of the fashion business i.e. Retail business & management, Retail Buying as well as personal styling, display merchandising and others. It's actually quite fun if you like clothes and like making clothes look good.

Save up for something you would like to do. At 19 you are still very young. Just try to get out of this job asap.

Job: Eh kinda hard to describe, but I typically tell people that I test headphones

Salary: 15 dollars an hour

age: 22

Please describe. I want to get money for testing shit.

Muss ich dafür studieren Brudi oder kann man das mit ner quicken Ausbildung machen?

Ausbildung dauert ein Jahr (halbes Jahr Theorie und halbes Jahr Praxis). Und sie wird NICHT bezahlt, jedoch findet man danach schnell den Job. Viele machen die sogar ohne Schulabschluss. Brauchst nur fit in Bio zu sein und wirklich gute Nerven haben. Unterschätze letzten Punkt bitte nicht. Ich machte Ausbildung aus Depression und Anhedonie und trotz der Job nicht schwer ist, ist es eine verdammt harte Kost die dich echt zerfickt.

job: dropped out of uni so do grunt work at a supermarket and cant see a way out
salary: 11 grand
age:22

What did you study and why did you drop out? If uni wasn't your thing how about going to trade school next?

Hey ich habe Depressionen seit ich 8 bin, studiere Kunst gerade und habe so oder so nichts gutes in meinem Leben erlebt (außer meine Freundin). Also dauert es auch nicht zu lange bis die Anhedonie einsetzt bei mir. So eine Ausbildung die nur ein Jahr dauert ist nicht schlecht und in Bio bin ich tatsächlich fit. Ich überlegs mir mal, danke dir!

I work for a company that sells aviation headphones, and I run them thru a quality control where they basically go in a machine that tests to make sure they can produce the min and max decibels that they should, and that the mic works and other shit like that

Then I'll wear them and make sure there aren't any pops or weird noises that the machine can't pick up

Gf makes the same. We do whatever we want.

whats up bladee

Pretty cool and comfy job. Did you need a degree for that or can anyone do the job?

Pretty much anyone can do it!

Cool, guess Î'll try finding something similar. Thanks!

>i really like looking at pictures of clothes and thinking about owning them.
this. sometimes I wonder why I even have an interest in fashion in the first place since I can't buy half of the shit I like.

Spreche definitiv mit deiner Freundin darüber. Mit Leichen zu arbeiten, egal was man denkt, brongt dich langsam um. Ich habe da jeden scheiß gesehen. Zerteilt, kopfschüsse, 50 messerstiche, Vergewaltigungen mit späteren Zertretten des Schädels, durch LKW überfahrene. Das verlässt dich auch nie. Mein Freund verließ mich aber letztens, weil ihm mein Jon auch zu viel wurde.

correct genre (sort of), he seems like a cool dude tho

>I'm doing a PhD in a STEM field in US and I get about $2500 a month
Well... many factors come into play. I'm a non-white ghetto trash kid doing a PhD in a very small institute at my university. When I applied to the professor, she didn't ask for my chosen topic, she didn't say anything related to the actual process, but the very first thing she said to me was that she can't give me a job at the institute. I told her it's fine, and I also told her right away that I don't need a stipend either. I have always worked through life myself, and I will continue to do so. I take baby steps, but that's okay.
