-$600 rent

-$60 supervision
-$130 food
-$60 cigarettes 

I can get trash bags and toilet paper for free
I can make body wash and shampoo last months

really the only household products I have to buy is dish soap, bleach, and the occasional sponge
I can do my laundry in the sink but my mom still helps me with laundry doing it at her house and bringing it back to me

275$ left at the end of the month
3,300 a year
1,650 every 6 months

I graduated high school
I did 7 semesters in college for computers specifically computer programming

I currently work as maintenance at a hotel
I open the gates so the trash truck can dump the dumpster, I take all the bins around the hotel to the dumpster I put new trash bags in the bins. I work on the pool adding chemicals, tablets, skimmer, vacuum. I pick up trash in the parking lot
it is decent but it is not as good as it was when I did security for the hotel long story short they got rid of that job
I like the heavy lifting, I don't mind changing the bags. working on the pool is great I enjoy it. I don't care much for picking up trash in the parking lot but it is easy money you just have to bend down and pick it up.

I did computer classes in middle school high school and college
but even then and definitely now I could never see myself doing anything with computers to actually make money
maybe get a job and work a month or two but I don't ever see it actually working out longer than 3 or 4 months
I just do not trust working on computers to make an honest living
I know too much about how computers and managers or owners do not get along when it comes down to a long term job to live
if it gets expensive or time consuming they're going to pull out
if they want something different it could take days or weeks to accomplish and somehow they're going to be paying less than minimum

even when I was in my last years of high school I already knew 100% for a fact I would never get a job working on computers to make a living
I know just about everything about computers enough to know it would never work
you have to live in a dream world to get something like that reliably and consistently

I think about it
and the closest thing I can think of is catching fish for every single meal sure you can catch 10-20 fish one day and have that last a week or two but you need to be at it every single day
if you eat your 10-20 fish for a week or two and run out you have to know exactly how to catch more fish
sometimes the bites are really good and too I remember going days in a row and getting very few catches
but the main idea is you need to only get fish you catch and stay well fed


I really don't see how people in the computer world are making 200,000 300,000 a year consistently each year
obviously there's something they just 100% ignore and it works for them or I'm just 100% missing something

take all the computer programming classes in or out of college do the computer programming schools online play the computer programming challenges or computer science or computer security or anything computer software engineer related
learn 4 or 5+ languages to the point you can make just about anything quickly

I still don't see making 200,000+ I don't even see making 100,000 50,000 or 20,000 a year
maybe 15,000 a year honestly lol
