Thread 82127105

I receive NEETbux, around $1250 a month including food money, but I live with my dad and I'm carless. Being carless actually gives me the most insecurity. My dad has repeatedly told me it would be a financially bad decision for me to get a car. He is capable of driving me to the gym whenever I need to go, and he is capable of driving me to work whenever I need to go with him. The thing is, I will at least be stuck like this for several years to come, essentially living off of the small amount of NEETbux with my dad with no real future prospects.

I do have a disability that keeps me from being able to handle a normal 9 to 5 or A time to B time job, but that's for another thread.

The thing I am most insecure about is being carless. I could get a driver license, but I would still be carless. I have having been born into a mentally-ill (aside from my dad) poor family with no generational wealth. Even if I were to achieve 7 to 8/10 looks at 5'11 at 25 or 16, which I find realistic, since I believe I have decent facial genetics, including hunter eyes, and I am super jacked, having started lifting in 2013 and been taking steroids for the past 11 months. I just need to lose around 50 or 60 more pounds of fat.

I I were a 7 to 8/10 chad-lite, I still wouldn't be able to drive myself to my own dates. I don't think I'd have my dad do it out of embarrassment, and that would really highlight my shame and kill my self esteem. Having the girl pick me up would also be a bit embarrassing and shameful. My self esteem wouldn't exactly be high, and I would be more socially awkward from that moment.

How fucked am I?

What does at 25 or 16 mean?

achieve 7 to 8/10 looks at 5'11 at 25 or 16,

I should've done a bit of proofreading.

>>82127105 (OP)
You should get a license at least.

>>82127105 (OP)
how can you be poor and carless if you get paid $1250 a month and don't have to spend any on rent and bills? you could collect enough money to get a used car in like half a year and then just keep saving

>>82127191
I hear insurance payments are very costly for cars nowadays, it's a parasitic industry.

>>82127105 (OP)
very fucked. not driving as an adult male unfortunately adds a big L on your forehead, in most people's eyes. if you can't handle a 9 to 5 job, maybe driving doordash, ubereats etc, could be an option, if you learn?

>>82127175
I've talked with my dad about this several times. I would just be driving around his only car when he doesn't need to go out anywhere, but I know he would be very anxious every time I'd go out in that car. I'm not some dumb teenager, I would be driving extremely carefully. For the past couple years, I've been paying attention to the road and everything going on around when my dad has been driving in preparation for eventually getting a driver license. I blame being born into poverty. If I were in a wealthy family, somebody would've just handed me a car years ago and wouldn't have cared if I got in a minor fender bender or collision or whatever as a new driver.

Insurance would be very expensive, and I would almost never use the car, and I could just have my dad drive me over to the gym or work with no issue. It just seems like this would be a necessity for having a relationship with a woman, unless she literally saw no issue in driving me around everywhere. Also, there are a few things I like to buy every now and then with the NEETbux I get. After regular monthly expenses (food, steroids, and ambien), I only have around $600 left. Try not indulging in buying anything nice for an entire fucking year just to get a car that you're going to spending a ton of money on insurance for, and you're going to be going paranoid at the thought of damaging it or getting in a collision.

Get a cheapass honda or ford ranger off facebook marketplace and learn to fix it yourself.
It will stop you from wasting your NEET hours only gooning, gaming and scrolling.
Its a good bit of work though so think about it and ask your dad to help you if you take that route.
I bought my first beater car for $1200 dollars

>>82127208
if you finance a car the bank makes you get full coverage, which is expensive, basically an extra car payment
if you actually own your car then insurance can be under $50/month, but it depends on location, vehicle, etc.
but then there's maintenance and gas, along with registration, inspections, taxes...

>very fucked. not driving as an adult male unfortunately adds a big L on your forehead, in most people's eyes.
You're right, but the really fucked up thing is that had I been born into a wealthier family, somebody could've just bought me a car when I turned 16, and they wouldn't have been paranoid at the thought of me having a minor collision within my first few years of driving, with such an event potentially being the end of the world for the entire family financially. I'd be doing pretty well today, even with my mental illness, if I were a trust fund kid.

>and learn to fix it yourself.
I'm much more familiar with fixing cars than over 90% of normies. I've replaced fuel injectors and a radiator before, and I'm very familiar with the diagnostic process and even bought a digital shop manual that works for the volvos my dad owns. When you're poor, you can't afford to take your shitbox to the mechanic every time, aside from diagnostics when you can't do that yourself.

>>82127285
You'll never be a trust fund kid. And more importantly you'll never be rich. Some people really just get the shorter end of the stick. It do be like that, brother. But weeping 24/7 on trucel forums like this very one will help your situastion? How did you came to this consculsistion?

>>82127317
Some people just don't understand how much more difficult life is just if you were born into a poor family, even if you're intelligent. Being mentally ill and having been born into a poor family compound on each other to really screw you over. Had I been born into a wealthier family or were a trust fund kid, I would've had a car at 16 and at least stood a fair chance at university. Had I not been born with or developed mental illness in early childhood, I likely would've tried going into the trades or having gotten some IT certificates and then quickly saved up enough money to buy my own car.

Get le job

>>82127463
I technically already have one that I don't get paid for. I work for my dad in his kitchen. He's a chef at a local church, but he obviously doesn't own the place, and if I got paid by the church, I would lose my NEETbux. I really am disabled, though, so I'm not able to work for him every time he needs me. Other employers wouldn't put up with me. I just function to ease his workload.

>>82127285
based autotechmaxxed anon, i took a mechanics apprenticeship and fixed up my current ranger with it.
Still needs some work im gonna replace the engine with an inline diesel maybe DD or cummins and put a chip in it so i can shit on riceburner hondas.
But you should try that, there are lots of shitboxes on marketplace waiting on your delicate touch anon...

>if I got paid by the church, I would lose my NEETbux
Can't you get the money in physical cash?

>>82127495
>Can't you get the money in physical cash?
Nope. My dad has paid me cash, before, but that's literally from his own paycheck, and I feel bad whenever he does it, because I literally stay at his place for free, even though I do some basic housework and cleaning.

if you're disabled then women already won't like you because you're disabled, not because you don't have a car

>if you're disabled then women already won't like you because you're disabled
I'm mentally disabled. I can't really function in society unless I somehow land a really lucky job. My NEETbux are relatively generous though, especially when you consider my dual complete on top of it. My dad and I have both independently come to the conclusion that it wouldn't be worth getting a normal job where I don't get paid under the table unless I'm making $85,000+ per year. I believe this is doable, but I would need to get something like an engineering degree and get someone lucky in finding a job. The idea of having to move around all the time gives me headaches, though. I personally know a physicist and someone currently studying electrical engineering, so I'll be giving them a few calls to figure things out. I can learn math easily, though, so I know I could get an engineering degree.
>not because you don't have a car
If I were a rich trust fund kid, I could've hypothetically knocked up a crazy stupid girl in her late teens or early 20s years ago, and I would've literally been reproductively successful with my own kid already. I would also have a car right now.

I live in eu where university is effectively free, but my parents gave me a mindset of not trying to rise above, so they never helped me or encouraged me to go. Being poor is so psychologically limiting not because of money but because of status and the sense of what is possible that comes from your own family diminishes you.

>>82127105 (OP)
I have a loicense and still have my mom drive me around cause I don't like driving. I even got a motorcycle which I got fearful of riding, so I have to sell it and get a truck.

I think the truck will work better for me cause it has a higher cab height, and I can drive in my pajamas at night when there's no cars on the road.

If you get a gf, OP, you could have your gf drive you instead.

Insurance is expensive, you might be asked to pay quarterly every 3 months a fee of 750 dollars.

If you wanted to go fast quickly you could always get a custom electric bike. (It would require saving 2 grand for a battery and motor) + bike which could be anywhere from a 600 dollar walmart bike to another 2 grand airpark bike.

My nigga rich scheme to make money on neetbux is to buy snacks using EBT and selling them out of a vending machine for 300% markup.
Also if you get a truck, you can do contracted labor jobs where you move wiring or piping to job sites, or haul tools for construction.
