Is it better to go to school and develop a skill that you can use to work for someone else forever and make more money than minimum wage but not necessarily rich
or
work minimum wage for a small amount of time so that you have enough money to pay cash for a house and car leaving you with minimal expenses so that as long as you make more than about 12-15 dollars an hour you can cover all your bills
or
join the military to slave yourself and travel the world for a short amount of time to receive neetbux later in life, and use the skill you got from military in the civilian world
or
work minimum wage for a short amount of time to pay for starting your own business, which if successful would probably be the most lucrative and freedom inducing option
or
do all of the above in no particular order over the course of 40 years to have maximum earnings but also maximum work
>work minimum wage so that you have enough money for a house Even if you never spent any of your own money that would take >5 years. >military neetbux What does this even imply? That you will fake ptsd? >owning a business freedom inducing Most business owners work 70 hour work weeks. Though they do make bank. This post is an hour late so I doubt you are even here but I laughed at buying a house with a minimum wage job.

If you spend 4 years in college studying something with good job prospects you will be able to save enough for a house and to retire much more quickly than if you just worked minimum wage the whole time.

Those are ideas are all shit, go to school or maybe not even school at all and develop a skill or trade that you enjoy and makes you happy and also gets you paid.
People who become plumbers or mechanics, or on the other end of the spectrum, go to uni to study business and commerce are all going to live miserable stressful lives.

I know I'm talking at least 6 year plan here.
and no military gives you money just for being in the military, similar to the amount of a minimum wage job
and by freedom inducing I meant never working for anyone else.
but as for buying a house with a 9 dollar an hour job I did the math actually
for 6 years I could save approximately 80k, if I put down 50% on a house worth up to 150k that's like a 600 dollar a month mortgage maximum, plus 600 dollar a month utilities where I live
that's about 1200 ish a month and a minimum wage job here you would make about 1200 a month, so you would need probably at least a 12-15$ an hour job to live, minimum.

All of the options are low-class routes and seem to be unnecessarily limiting. Why isn't there any room for things like expertise?
Anyway: - Minimum wage work is mundane - Military work is for suckers - Working class businesses waste a lot of time being mismanaged
None of these seem like living. Just pick whatever life style makes you happiest.

Are you accounting for HOA for your area? I don't know what state or city you are in but it's hard to find houses and condos that don't have HOA in a majority of locations. Are you also accounting for property tax? >money just for being in the military I don't know what country you are from but what you are saying is not the case for US military. A minimum wage job would also only make $15k a year in the US so you would need to work 10 years to get a house. I don't think you are accounting for taxes.

I'm not reading your post simply because of the way you formatted it.

well if you make 15-16k a year, 4k ish for taxes then that's 12k a year about, 12000 + 6 is 72000 dollars in 6 years which I put into a mortgage calculator and a house worth 150k with 72000 down is around 600 dollars a month where I am including 1000$ HOA. The actual mortgage itself is like 400, 100 a month to HOA fee if that's how it works according to this calculator. I may be wrong though. property tax is around 100 a month as well so adds up to around 600.
I thought the military gave you neetbux after you serve your term?
yeah exactly that's my point if I make less than like 15 an hour I won't be able to pay for any of the rest of expenses
