If you don't want to go to college and you want to stay debt free then get working, whatever it is. If it's shit, leave and find a new job. Find what you're good at and aim in that direction. Never sell yourself short. Your time and effort is valuable as long as you're willing to put it in and never sell yourself short. Live within your means and scrimp wherever you can. Pirate your shit. Learn to cook. You need to aim to be saving at least 10% of anything you get paid. This gets easier and easier as time goes on and you accumulate a float of money. You DO NOT want to be spending your last bit of money the day before payday. You ALWAYS want to remain in profit and be putting that into your float. If you don't do this you will end up homeless and broke and it'll take a long time to work your way back, if you can at all. Once you've got a significant float built up (this will take years, which is a long time at your age) you can start taking between 10-30% of it and invest. Do you own research and never follow anyone else. Make your own decisions and you'll make it. Of course, none of this will work if you want to be a lazy NEET.
- Nearly 30, no college, debt free, nearly married and about to make it.
