Moving out...

I'm wanting to move out so I can do my 3rd cycle. What are your stories about getting your own place? (No college) Trying to get ideas that would get me independent.
 
I enjoyed living on my own. Even things that seemed hard at the time are fond memories now. I slept on a used couch I bought for $50 until I could afford a bed, slept great on that thing too! Had a tiny 13" television with an amplified antenna so I could get like 15 tv channels and no cable bill whatsoever!

Everything I ended up getting for my apartment was hard earned. It wasn't the best of the best but it was good enough for me.
 
get married?
Don't get married unless you date enough to know what you want and also learn the red flags from bullshit women. Unless you can find a ride or die chick, nope don't do it!! A ride or die chick stands nxt to ya even if you are wrong. She does for others b4 herself and isn't out to just take selfies and crave attention. They're rare now

Preach brother.

YOU said you LIVED on your own.
 
I chose to get married to move out. It worked for awhile as long as she did. ROOMATES suck, they go through your shit while your at work. Save until you can do it on your own, 1/2 your income is Max you want to spend, a third even better. Dont let some chick get her nails into you and ride for free. That's built into their DNA and has been the demise of many a man.
 
you know...I thought about this reply a bit. WTF is it with your generation anyways? Someone tries offering legit advice and you wanna be a smartass about it....smh
I wasn't being a smartass. I apologize for the awkward language. Will try to be as articulate, with reason, as I am willing. I meant, did YOU "get married?". Was attempting to be friendly. However, both of your following posts are somewhat valuable. My current situation is unemployed and am tired of the failure of employment services. And, direct hires are not always easy to find. What are your STORIES about becoming economically stable? I don't just want advice, because a memory contains many lessons. "vicarious experience"

That's all good advice. My only addition, though inexperienced, is that a good woman would do her part as a wife and mother to the full extent instead of being a "committed" hoe. You agree? Trying to see if I'm on the right track in preparing for future situations.

Yes, I did get married after living by myself for 4 or 5 years. As for becoming economically stable, that one didn't happen right away. I worked as a construction worker when I first moved out on my own, then became a fabricator and worked in a few different shops for the next few years. I did side work, odd jobs, and even took a weekend newspaper route where I delivered papers from abt 3am-6:30a on weekends. I'd get done, nap till noon, then go lift. Sometimes I had extra money, other times I was broke. My biggest fear in my early 20's was not being able to make anything of myself and not having a woman see any potential in me.

Dated around a lot (more like slept with a lot) but nothing with any potential. When I met my wife I was not working a decent job, but she liked me and said she saw potential in me.

Anyways, long story short, I landed a decent job that I probably wouldn't have persued if I didn't want to better myself for my wife and stepdaughter at the time. You may not understand some of the shit you go through and you may not be able to make sense of it at the time, but looking back you are gonna realize that hard times make hard men. Some of us need those experiences to prepare for life. Don't let not going to college or making big money in your 20's get you down. Ultimately your success comes down to your character. You will either be a fighter or lay down and let life pummel you. As long as you push forward you will come out successful, even if it means delivering newspapers for a weekend job wondering ,"man, wtf am I doing with my life?"
 
Renting a house with someone is very profitable, but there are always negative points, as the neighbor can be unbearable and do things that are unacceptable to you. But when there is no money, this is an option. Although when I shot with someone I was lucky, it was always fun, we even bought food together.
