>tfw just got my first paycheck >400 bucks >want to buy a computer for 1200
ah damn it, either they give me a credit card that can reach that (unlikely with my lack of credit) or I wait 4 weeks to get the money
wagie life isnt so bad, only work 3 days a week and moms stopped nagging at me for neeting all the time you guys made it seem like id want to kill myself every moment of every day till the weekend where it all cools off
oh shit sorry Ive been working for 3 weeks so 9 days of work for a net $422
so im not real wagie? sweet
I work the closing shift so I still get to keep the neet sleep schedule get in at 8 pm and leave at 2-3 am and only work every other day
feels comfy man, even get fridays and sundays off
Julian Reyes
>400$ for 3 days a week >400$ for 6 days of work >400$ for 6 times 8 hours of work >400$ for 44 hours of work Yeah it makes sense.
Owen Myers
This.
Maybe in your united states of poor In Australia 3 days of work is easily $600+

why are you fags so obsessed with spending money you don't even have on a computer? aren't you still just going to sit there. like that is such a fucking useless thing compared to a car or something useful for that money. you're just upgrading something you already have to sit in the same chair you've sat for years
Jason Fisher
a computer is probably the only thing worth spending on these days. everything else is just a money sink. buy a car lmao for what? pinch every penny only to buy a five thousand dollar piece of shit that will break down after six months? lmao get a grip.
last job I worked it for six months, I bought a computer, a nice new bike, and some exercise equipment. then I quit. literally don't need any thing else.
Levi Thompson
why are you so obsessed with buying a car?
why not spend that money on something useful I mean dont you have two working legs?
god you should save all your money, live with your parents, and dave until they die and youre a dusty old man who lives off rice and tap water but has millions in the bank account for useful things like more rice
something giving you joy and happiness is not a reason to buy it
you should have one pair of shoes, two white shirts, two pairs of underwear, and two pants that you cycle through every week you should only eat rice and drink tap water you should use matchsticks or be sitting in the dark because you dont pay for the useless power bill in your one room appartment in the shittiest part of detroit you never shower because thats a waste of money you have one meal per day to save as much rice as you can for the next day and you wash your set of clothes in the local river because you dont want to pay for the water
this is the optimal way to live so you dont waste your money on useless things like a computer

Just buy a used computer for 400 bucks. Problem solved. You can get a powerful machine for that money.

Adrian Wright
Third or second generation i5, 8 GB of RAM and at least GTX 1050 ti or similar ( look at Techpowerup GPU hierarchy for graphics card tier list)
Brody Morris
but I want the 1060 cause im a graaaphix fag
I see that acer predator and I want that Im probably just gonna wait out the 4 weeks for the money maybe get a credit card for foods and booze while I wait too
Jayden Anderson
Good for you user. having something to get up in the morning for and go do is healthy for most people. it's the prolonged working in shit jobs that grind a person down. Hopefully this positive experience will be a springboard for you to move even further.
Connor Lewis
You should get a desktop. Laptops are garbage especially for gaming.
Gabriel Mitchell
I hate desktops so thats gonna be a no from me dawg I dont have a desk or room for one cause my bed takes up 5/6 of my room
plus I like to use my laptop on my bed
Landon Sanchez
You might not need to spend 1200. I built a moderate gaming pc for 500. I have a 1050ti and a Pentium G4560
Jace King
the least I need is $1050
Hudson Murphy
>and moms stopped nagging at me for neeting all the time Just you wait, a few years from now she'll start nagging you again trying to get you to either work full time or get a second part time one.

Wyatt Flores
Wait until you move up in the workforce! My job is really fun and interesting. The people are nice and I can listen to music my entire shift. Plus I'll make $22/hr once certified (in a year or do), making $20/hr now.
It's really a fulfilling life for me. It adds structure and it helps with the depression because it gives me self worth. When I'm just home, I get bored so fast because I don't have any hobbies that I get done with everything and it sucks. My work is very close so I only have a 7 minute drive, so I have plenty of time in the day to do things that I want to do and not get burnt out on them.
Ethan Jones
That's like 120 USD though.
Josiah Bailey
Good on you, OP. Enjoy the work, I used my shit job to eventually get better at social interaction.
I say keep working and wait. If you really want the computer now, try and schedule yourself a bit more - otherwise, just wait a little while. It feels good to spend your own money.
Kayden Ward
I use to work regular wagie 5 days a week 8 hours at least daily shifts and I wanted to kill myself
after neeting for 2 full years after that im giving it another go and only working the bare minimum if that means I wait a little longer for the stuff I want then so be it, at least I wont be repeating "I want to die" over and over in my head every waking moment
