I have been on the side walk for as long as I can remember. I am 22 btw, a college student, soon to be a dropout probably. So, I would appreciate some advices before I go and wreck my life.
Here is some info about me. I live in a small and poor country in Europe. My financial situation is abysmal at the moment, I live with my parents and the money they give me is small. The only thing they give me money for is food(rarely for something else) and even for that they complain. Last time I was out having fun was on 31 Decembar - New Year. I know that it's my fault, and I should have taken action long ago. But regrets will do me no good now, and I must focus on my present and how to change it - intense realism is needed. One thing I do know now is that I don't want to live with them anymore, because the ultimatums they are giving me are unacceptable(I would rather keep that private). And, as the tensions rise, I would probably get out of my house(or be expelled by my dad anyway)
I have read the Millionaire Fastlane , gave my last money on it and I don't regret it. Although it motivated me to start a fastlane journey, I realized it's not for me at the moment. So the Fastlane should wait for a while.
I have no "special" skill that I can sell and no time to teach myself, I have no money at all(like zero srsly) and have nothing to sell, so one of the things remaining, besides a job, is hustling which I have never done. I know that necessity is the biggest motivator and I know that I could survive on my own out there but it's going to be hard, because the jobs are not nearly enough paid, or lot of time is needed until I can make money enough from a job to survive.
So that leaves me with very little options. If I find a normal job(a barman, waiter, or work in some warehouse, salesman in electronics shop..) I can earn from 150 - 250 euros a month. The rent I would pay in a small house or apartment would be minimum 100 euros a month( It might be lower when the semester starts -September if I live with some students ), 100 euros for food, and (if there is anything left) 50 euros for bills(if not I am screwed).
Another option is to find 2 shitty jobs and work 17 hours a day(earn 400 euros a month), but kiss my fastlane goals Goodbye. Probably, I will get a burnout.
I thought about hustling but it's risky(my life would be at stake) and I have nothing to sell anyway and no money to start. I have been considering some business opportunities, but they all require at least some capital, and I have nothing, so I need a steady minimum income to keep my belly full. You have to survive first right? Besides, a lot of entrepreneurs had a job at one time.
Do something illegal - The worst option. I condemned everyone that did that. I don't want to do something like that, but...
There are some jobs that are paid good if 350 euros a month can be called good. But they require lot of experience and time. I don't have time. I thought if I could somehow offer great value to an employer, so he would pay me good from the start. Anyone has any idea, how can I provide good value to a company?
I hope someone can point me to something that will ease my journey. My father already told me to pack my bags and leave if I don't "listen"(live my life like he wants) to him. Of course I won't listen - it's my life, not his.
