Stop talking like a fucking faggot and maybe somebody might help you.

Property developer.

18: Son of a property developer.

Well, school sapped my funds as I stuck in it. I dropped out a few times because my shitty part-time job absolutely couldn't cover it. My girlfriend moved 2k miles away since I dropped and didn't seem to have other options. Since then, though, I've managed to become a software engineer and am sitting in my house right now that's 1/4th paid off. I feel like I'm still behind it even though I'm financially ahead of my friends who went through with school, even the ones who went for MBAs

I'm 28 now btw

just finish and get it over with if you can, its easier at this point in time since you have so few responsibilities

I am successful and I dropped out of high school in 9th grade. Everything I have I own. Zero debt. Feels good.

>star student at high school, multiple scholarships to prestigious university, close-knit group of good friends

24
>broke NEET loner

Something went wrong somewhere along the line, but I can't pinpoint where exactly. The drinking sure didn't help.

I'm in my last semester studying computer science at a state school. Overall GPA is 3.8. I just accepted a job making 85k starting for after I graduate. I lean left

when I was 18, I dropped out of college to enlist.

never regretted the decision.

currently, working to get my gpa up so I can get into an EMT course

Fuck college I'm the head chef a Wendy's and I make 180k

>at 18 (I forgot to include this)

I was reeling after the sudden death of my dad after starting my first year of college. Am 24 now

>me at 18
Primary focus was getting laid. Spent the next few years in junior college.

Finished a 4 year degree in management at a real university.

Went and got a job I was over qualified for, but they sent me all over the world. Fun.

Started my own business that has been moderately successful.

Financially I'm crushing it compared to most of my peers. Million dollar house, almost a million in retirement account, wife is union so she'll draw a nice pension.

Still not satisfied, so I'm starting another business. The hell of living in an expensive neighborhood is that you're surrounded by people who are more successful.

But it motivates me so I'm ok with it.

Not successful at all, no wife or children job is so-so: Massage Therapist. Deciding if I leave the current shit hole state I'm in or stay and grow weed. Agriculture background from family business. When I was 18 I was selling/ getting arrested for selling drugs. Everytime I see the left chimpout I get closer and closer to being full on 1488.

Be 18, witness 911, decide to fuck up mudslimes, I joined the Navy specialized rate, did 6 years, got out make over 100k year engineering/sales (never stepped foot on college campus no degree)

>be lazy piece of shit in high school since freshman year who did the minimum to scrape by and still passed with decent grades

>be lazy piece of shit in college since freshman year who does the minimum to scrae by and still pass with decent grades

I think my whole life went fucked up somewhere along the line. Though I do consider myself further than most students experience wise and networking wise. It's a miserable existence m8, I tell you.

22, got an accountig degree, a senior audit position in a big 4, about to get CPA, make shit money now but migh get a guaranteed good salary in the future (960 after taxes, plus I get free lunch every workday).

Also rent a room in the big city, can afford what I want with almost no savings, about to get a car soon.

Not sure if you could call me succesful, I got some serious mental health problems and I will probably end up killing myself soon, what keeps me going everyday is my strong sense of pride, ambition and ritalin.

Also it's 12 AM and I am about to snort some of this fucker.

You're telling me. I was top five in a graduating class of nearly 1,000 kids in high school. Took a dozen AP classes, destroyed the SAT. Now I drive a fucking uber. Lol. Well, my only advice m8 is that you avoid drinking too much. I won't say that alcohol alone ruined me, but self-medicating with alcohol makes things so much worse.

Alcohol isn't really my demon. I drink it sometimes very sparingly. No, my demon is fucking porn. Just like with any vice, taken too far will begin ruining you.

It's really bred bitterness into me. I haven't lost any functionality over it, I still have a job, go to school, but I feel dependent on it. I really do hate myself.

Then...stop looking at porn?

Like, just not look at porn.

>decided to fuck up mudslime
>joined the navy
>mfw

Also studying management,what was your master?Also how much did you saved for your first business ? Did you make any side money?

Are you me?

At 18 I got accepted into Law School.
I'm a militant of my country's extreme right party, the Independant Democratic Union

I'm pretty successful. Attorney at a big law firm in NYC.

At age 18 I was in college. I lean right.

18 joined army combat engineers, blew stuff up, got out work small time construction and remodel 35-45k depending on contracts. Damn Pacos drive labor wages down

I'm the guy that commented right before you, Man I would have loved to study law in NY and practice there. English is actually my first language, I was raised in florida, and learned spanish in my teen years.

I was in a hospital on my 18th birthday after nearly being killed in a head on car accident. Spent what money I had saved up on a new car, basically started from scratch. Went to university the same year. accounting, then chemistry, then physics, then comp science. I've always been right/far right, much much more so now than ever.

I think perspective is really important, and older people appreciate a young guy that knows he doesn't know anything, albeit ambitious.

>Who here on pol is succesful?
Me. Very successful at shitposting.
>Wut were u doin when u were 18?
See above.

Wow. Great idea

völkisch NEET, living comfy every day while the world degrades and there's nothing you can do about it by going to work

i'm a high school senior and i'll be attending carnegie mellon university next year.

18... Just out of highschool with decent marks. Thought about varsity but went for the military instead. Got rejected because I'm white.

Now, own a business with my brother. Doing well but it's still a baby. Big expansion in motion this year.

In the future, maybe leave for the UK , maybe stay here and expand even more. Africa is unpredictable but can be unbelievably rewarding.

When did you realize is was your demon?

I realized it a few years ago. But I began feeding it in the 5th grade and early 6th grade. Nothing has changed, as many attempts I've tried.

wishing the best for you, honestly.

Tell me more of politics in Chile.

I visited when I was too young to appreciate politics. I only remember how well drilled and dressed your soldiers were at parade and how beautiful the country's landscape was.

Pretty successful business . Just found out 5 hours ago my wife is cheating on me. So not so successful there .

Me too man, me too. Thanks.

>one month later, land job in my field paying over 60k starting salary

I started community college at 18, did my general studies before transferring to uni, didn't really figure out what I wanted to do until my last year so don't sweat it

Politically, I dunno desu senpai. Ideally I'd love o be a classical liberal 1776 kind of guy,, but niggers and jews fuck it all up so I guess I'm just a "radical right" or "white nationalist" or something

>successful?
Fuck no I made less than 30k despite working at a hospital for four years. Thinking of quitting and enlisting. Either I die abroad or off myself after I quit. I just know I won't make it to 30, and I'm 24 now.
>What do when 18?
Going to community college. Associate's means nothing today so drop out unless you're getting a Bachelor's. Same thing with technical certificates. They're not even worth toilet paper.
>where do you lean?
Kinda center-left I guess.

Also forgot to mention family. I know not everyone has a good family, in my case I'm lucky and have a great family, which is something people should cherish more than they do. Family is very important.

I had free tuition and could've gotten my Bachelor's at no cost if my dad didn't hold the VA-based benefit hostage from me.

Fuck family, they're leeches.

Sorry to hear that, user. I paid my way through my community college, but my grandmother (rest in peace) paid for my university education after I transferred.

If you can't cherish your family, find a family you can cherish. I wouldn't be here today with my family.

*without my family

Successful meaning in two weeks I will start a job that bumps me from $52500 a year to $72500 a year.

I went to college when I turned 18. STEM is not a meme. But it's up to you to apply yourself.

In past years both the left and right have been in various fraude scandals and crimes of that sort. In my opinion every left government this country has had is horrible, people only elect them because of muh freebies.

Current President is a batshit stupid bitch, I have no clue how she got re-elected after her first time a couple of years back.

The left is completely retarded, but is loved because of in today's society there is still alot of resent to the Military Government with Pinochet and the right is hated because they are looked upon as the political inclination of those who are wealthy and thus are stigmatized.

The real problem is corruption, it's rampant in every aspect of this country.
And to top it all off, politicians are just downright motherfucking retarded. I am a proud militant of my party because we share the same beliefs in legal matters such as Abortion, Economic policies and etcetera but many a time have I felt ashamed for the retarded way in which some of my party's senators argue in parlament. Not to mention that my party is naturally hated by just about everyone for being a party of ''The rich'', not to mention they aprove Pinochet's government and don't actually recognize it as a dictatorship.

We have so much in common.

Though here there seems to be no way forward for anyone and crime is astronomically bad.

What is your party called?

I'm not successful because of the immigrants living here.

Weak excuse.

Come turn your Euro into Rand and make my economy stronger... Plenty of white Germans here.

I mentioned it in the first post you replied to, Indepenent Democratic Union, UDI in Spanish.

When elections come up in the coming year, I'm going to vote as Right as I can and hope we can stop electing retarded communists into office, They offer the people a little sum of money and they go ape shit crazy... I hate this.

It's nice to know I'm not the only one who has a politcally inept society lol.

Atleast we're still one of the wealthiest countries in Latin America.

Currently 18 here. Have no job prospects, NEET, KHV, suicidal, waiting for war to break out.

Not being edgy, but it was a combination of being lucky and being a really good liar.

Among other things, I was left homeless by remaining family for a dysfunctional relationship.

Family matters a lot. If my relatives were less selfish cunts, I'd be objectively better off. As it stands, both sides want to "help" only to show the other side that they're better.
