People born in 87/88

How has your life turned out?

How did you hope your life would turn out after high school?

Did you benefit or lose from the GFC and the increasingly lowered interest rates and stagnant wages?

I was able to buy a house cheap, but I think I would have a better career had I not graduated in 2009. The only offer I had was a lowball one from the company I was working for as an intern.

I will kill myself soon.

I got my life in order when I was like 24/25

Got a wife, kid and job now

Anyone born in 87-88 and still browsing Sup Forums is loser by default to be honest

I'm not at all where I wanted to be with my life. No girlfriend or wife, no children. Switched careers, moved around the world, fucked things so bad I can't even write down how bad it is...

But hope at the end of the tunnel. Finishing a Graduate Degree in Teaching this year, gonna give that a go.

>Did you benefit or lose from the GFC and the increasingly lowered interest rates and stagnant wages?
I don't even know what this means.

>How did you hope your life would turn out after high school?
go to uni, get a better job, find a gf, become father and do other general normie stuff.

>How has your life turned out?

like this:
>quit uni and my job a year after high school ended
>attempted suicide 4 years ago but failed
>total recluse till a year ago
>still neet and virgin anyway

Joined the army at 23, few years later have a wife, a nice house and a bunch of guns. Its going pretty well I guess

Joined the military. 9 years later still in still doing the same job still no promotion on my trade.
Own a house, 2 cars and 2 dogs. Am married and have been for 7 years with my wife who I went out with through school.

My life's ok I think.

Wew Canada bro... You sound similar lol.

Its a mixed bag but im optimistic, its pretty good im just naturally a pessimist.

Im almost 30 and still a virgin. Not kissless or a complete social retard, I just had pretty bad phimosis and wasn't comfortable with it. I was circumcised fairly recently which im still recovering from.

Im nervous how chicks will like it since im a bong and most bongs aren't cutlets, plus im only about 5 inches long. Long enough I feel, but eh.

Im very wealthy. I bought a 300 grand house in cash recently, not moved in yet because im at home recovering from operation. I make ~£200,000 goodboypoints a year.

I haven't really lived much in my 20's because of working, but im more optimistic about the future.

I was born in 85 and my situation is a bit unique as I ended up homeless with my family a few months before HS graduation although I wasn't disappointed in a major sense because I never had a career goal/dream ( and I still dont at 31).

When I first started working retail, I was awarded as much overtime as I wanted. Now anything after 40 hours will land you in hot shit. I've been there for nearly 10 years and at $15/hr due to annual $0.40 hourly wage increases. I dont have a GED and Community College is $20k for 2 years (though this number will be exceeded as I will surely will be stuck in remedial courses for additional years)and I cannot be a burden on the american taxpayer to take a gamble on me or be racked with debt. I don't have many places to go and will probably anhero when I reach my paycap in the next five years as I have nowhere further to go.

looks like. People can say what they want about the army but not many people these days can buy a nice house at 27 so I guess its not all bad

I was a kissless NEET autist until 21. Got a job at maccas, worked there for 5 years, wasted my 5 years studying a degree I never finished, but learned how to socialise.

Now working in rail, have a wife and kid with a 74k/annual

After highschool I was recruited and went to a medicore university to play lacrosse and had fun and gave zero shits about my studies. Came out unemployed and virtually unemployable.

Moved to Toronto and became a full degenerate, drinking and womanizing. Barebacked about 12 women. Moved back home at 25, went back to school (BSc) and am now a phd student at UMich. I destroyed three long term (3+) relationships along the way, including thr last girl Jessica who I loved and wanted to marry. My vices has stayed with me even though I am relatively successful now.

I don't own a home (I rent), I have no stable relationships in my life, no real friends (I abandoned them when I moved away thinking I was better than them) and I've chased away every woman who has ever loved me.

The only good thing I have is a 2015 chrysler 200 c which I sleep in sometimes because I hate where I live.

Same here
Gonna be 30 in 2 months for some reason it scares shit out of me

Got a degree in political science in order to build a career in international diplomacy.

Ended up working in military intelligence, were revealing as little as the layout of my office to my wife would land me in prison for 2 years.

It's a mixed kind of feel.

Riased by retards in a country full of retards with zero opportunity for growth or expansion.

Had I been born American I would be worth a couple billion dollars by now.

Since I grew up in canada, my life sucks.

Ya, house,job,kids and wife is an "accomplishment" to a pleb. Hooray, you did what everyone else has done. You're special!!

Eat,sleep,shit,fuck,make kids, die. HOORAY for you!
LMFAO

28 year old virgin neet

I work, I date, I travel the world, shitpost on Sup Forums that's about it
>tfw no gf who wants to settle down
Woman here are only like now around their 30's getting interested in that.

in general everything is alright. Wifed my HS sweetheart, have combined household income of $175k, and no kids.

hmmm
I was raised in the very same country yet I have an engineering degree, a great job, a nice house and a wife.
HOW DID I DO IT?

I graduated HS in 86. A lot of shit did come to pass. You folk (pointing at the posters born 87/88) pretty much felt the brunt of it.

I was pretty bluepilled until Clinton outright lied...then after the 2000 bullshit it became apparent that there were only the "left" and "right" hands of a much larger, and much more hidden machine. I have been disillusioned with politics ever since, but I still watch from the periphery.

If you are thinking of a home, there is only one place interest rates will go, negative. We have been in the middle of a quiet currency war for over 4 years now and it's the reason rates are dropping not just here but everywhere in the world.

Bide your time, anons, you will have your day...but be vigilant. Sifting through the shitposts, the wreckage, the post slidings and general sludge, I have still found and learned much after 4 years.

Godspeed to the true Sup Forums. Keep questioning, and even if you think your belief is true, question it again and again, relentlessly. Only by drawing from the gifts we were given by ancestors past can we fend off the relentless onslaught of disinfo, operatives, forum bots, sliders, and other plagues upon the quest for truth.

May the shills and their handlers rot in hell for the damage they have done to everyone.

And you?

For some reason loosers tend to blame environment instead of themselves in all their fuck ups.

Was miserable last year. Married to a subservient woman who works in PR in a major French clothing company. this year

>How has your life turned out?
i haven't left my mom's basement in nearly 8 years

Have a stable mid income (56k) job for the past 4 1/2 years. Got Married this year. Don't have $$$ for a house since I live in NY even shitty houses in nigger communities cost 500k plus.

>I won't be here when I'm 30

>implying nature > nurture

If only because they are unaware. The environment around you does have an impact, but it does not completely dictate your circumstance.

I have watched for years as people figuratively asked themselves "why me", and I look at them from the "outside" and see that they were completely unaware of things moving and happening around them. Things that, if they paid attention, if they tried, could have been avoided. Instead everything appears to be "random bad events" and in turn, they sense that something beyond their view hurt them. So they blame - indirectly - the environment around them. They know it hurt them but they can't see past the soap bubble of "the environment" to notice the true cause of their pain.

It has taken me 5 years to start "reading" the true signs of things that will affect me. This has allowed me to sidestep a lot of problems that "no one could have seen coming" when in reality everyone is too distracted to see at all.

Teaching this skill is difficult because so many people in westernized countries are held captive to western media - specifically the zombification brought on by TV sets, etc. etc. Few take the time to read, fewer still connect the pieces of what they read together into concepts, and very rarely can they subject those concepts to scrutiny to see what is most likely true and most likely false. I am still learning...

Fuck off Canada has more oppturtunits than 95% of countries. You just suck, all the other Canadians in this thread (including myself) have found success. I'm sorry your life isnt what you expected but dont blame the country when it all had to do with you.

Went to decent business school, graduated on time with useful and desirable degree.

First job out of college was good stepping stone for a few years. Moved up in pay to okay-tier (75k at age 28), left when company started tanking and hemorrhaging money/people.

Switched to consulting, now early 30s and making six figures. Travel all of the time, live in good part of town. Plenty of discretionary income and rewarding hobbies like shitposting on Sup Forums.

I was born in 86.

>Got job when i was 17/18

IDK if id call myself a loser. Maybe in the sense that im a manchild, but thats it.

try living in Vancouver

500k is nothing

'85 here, my life has turned out pretty good. House in white suburbia with wife and 2 kids. Started working for ford right out of high school as a union autoworker. Helped that I knew people high up in the union. So many ways to move up inside the company and union. I'm pretty lucky desu having a great job without having to collect college debt.

kek

Middle class, wound up a dysfunctional person due to a very flawed home life, mild aspie tendencies, and bullying. Obsessive escapism to gaming and internet was my only relief. Was fucked up but didn't fully comprehend how badly until I was on my own. Had no real practical dreams or ambitions, just kept hoping my circumstances would improve so I could be happy.

Was pressured into College by family when I had no idea what to do, wound up studying for a degree in media production because I was half decent at it. After 5 years I squeaked by with my BA and felt like literally killing myself. Knew I had fallen for the Liberal Arts meme. Wound up living at home while I tried to find work for my shit degree and underwhelming skillset, tried not to think about killing myself. Functionally hit rock bottom.

3 years, 1 dead parent, overcoming my depression, and trying to develop a better sense of purpose later and I'm "better" now. Currently learning how to code a number of languages, which is kind of neat.

GFC fucked me, and I have little hope for the future. Presumably, I will be a dime a dozen programmer who struggles in a crowded field for work against San-Fran wackos, Poo in the Loo, and others. If I'm lucky I might be able to meet the right person and start a family by the time I'm 35.

Wizard powers soon though bro, desu. You got that going for you.

'84 here, no college, went to Navy, get out, get 100k year job, wife, 1 kid, own 3 cars, just sold house of 4 years and make close to 100k on it, debt free, living good in a southern republican controlled gun loving state (-_-)

It is not that difficult, senpai. Just try again.

It does not get better, there is no hope.

Totally agree with you ameribro.

Everything is going according to plan.

Don't go down that easy, Hans

89 here. Had a fantastic childhood in the 90's and early 2000's in Chicago. Around 2006 the air started to feel uneasy, by 2008 everything went to complete shit. Social media, iPhones, hipsters, SJW's, rap music monopolizing the mainstream, le evil Republican meme, the Great Recession, Obama presidency, uninspired capeshit superhero movies... all that came to fruition in 2008. Chicago especially was hit hard that year, that was the year it went from a charming, gritty, blue collar Union city with character to a hipster, snooty, SJW, culturaless, liberal shitfest.

Dont listen to tinfoil Libertarian conspiracy theorists that 9/11 in 2001 was the downfall of America because muh NSA and muh TSA bullshit, things were fine in the US until 2008.

I know because 2008 was almost a decade ago and not one single solitary thing has changed culturally, aesthetically or socially. Every decade prior there were major cultural shifts, but nothing at all for this one. Its still the exact same shit. I could read or watch media from 2008 and could very well think it was made in 2016 without a second thought. Probably the worst decade ever following the Great Depression era.

>GF of 9 years
Why haven't you just married her yet?

'86. Bypassed college for military(Navy) because I was a poorfag and got kicked out at 18. Used technical skills acquired from the Navy to start working in the electrical trade. No family because I still travel quite a bit for work. Honestly can't see myself getting married and having kids anytime soon though with how fucked everything is. I'd probably be a shit parent anyways. Debt free and I don't hate my job so I'm pretty happy all things considered.

Hold on brother. You never know what's in store for you!

should I join a branch of military?

You could 100% get laid anytime you want

Here is ez guide that work for people even if you are ugly (but you make the bank you say you make)

>buy really nice car
>buy nice, well fitting clothes (if you are too autistic, pay someone to do this part for you)
For sloots:
>install tinder
>get someone to take nice shots of you, different fits, different places, first shot must include the nice car.
>ask sloots out to dinner
>have something to talk about
>invite her back to your place after
>play some game/talk/truth or dare whatever/
>make move
>success or not, doesn't matter, rinse repeat

If you have nothing to talk about, take a month off to travel somewhere exotic and rough to stock up on confidence and stories.

If you want to meet a quality wealthy girl, volunteer doing something in Africa.

thats it m80

this

I collect NEETbux while making money on the side doing some programming work and selling stuff online. It's comfy existence.

I'm still not completely fulfilled. I do want to move to America or Canada and start over before it's too late but I dunno if it's going to actually happen.

I'm completely out of hope. I'm alive solely for the sake of my distant family.

>But hope at the end of the tunnel. Finishing a Graduate Degree in Teaching this year, gonna give that a go.
The light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train my an. You will be forced to sell out your principles. Best of luck to you though.

it would have been quite easy to get your shit very together between 85-87 (maybe 88) you could get a stable decent income job with promise of tenure doing some bullshit paper filing or low volume costumer service, without a HS diploma. honestly nobody had it as good as the mid 80s kids other than boomers.

if you were born a year after this, all the jobs were taken, all the rust buckets were bought and being driven, a driver's license went up 800% in cost and required an extra year for a full permit, and all those jobs got outsourced just in the nick of time as the previous age demographic "aged out" of the college/university group.

Get a refugee girl.

Like shit as my health is shit. Wizard apprentice. I just focus on making money now.

I think the key is to find a way of deluding yourself somehow. Not your conscious mind, because you can't, but your subconscious mind, by feeding it some kind of bullshit aspiration to move it forward. It can be something stupid like buying a car you like or a house, however shallow it is, as long as it pleases your subconscious mind and sets you in a favorable mood to get things done. That's how I see it.

If you keep observing how shit the world is of course you'll get depressed.

Get your shit together, Sven

Get off the couch. Start getting active.
No somali muslim qt3.14 will approach you if don't slim down.

Also, you got a degree in IT.
Find an online platform, set up a professional profile, wait and hope for the best.
Protip: Make payments untaxable
(Germans look the other way)

And last of all.
Gather all photographs of her and throw them away.
You'll get more chances at marriage
(and paying child support).

play vidya, fuck girls, ride motorcycle, comfy job, no education.

wew life is hard~

...

and of course, with that they brought along their hipsterisms and overpriced coffees, and (unknowingly) facilitated rapid rise in rent and provisions. I used to be able to get a haircut for 5$+2$ customary tip, now it's 38$ for a "fade" wtf is a "fade"

I know a girl who's been with the same guy for 20+ years and have no interest in marriage and they have two kids.

that makes sense, marriage is a false paradigm. the only merit it has is perhaps and affirmation of what is already known and felt. or, a legally binding contract depending on perspectives.

I dont have a good answer tbqh. Manchild syndrome?

Ooh, nice one! Death by archaic diseases

your life sounds shit. ever go on a mad roadtrip with your mates when you were younger and get off with some slags and laugh about it?

Gen x got fucking screwed over hard.

Actually, they are the best posters and we wish there was more of us and less little whiny bitches like yourself.
I bet reddit would be a better fit for you.

No.

I have zero contacts, so no one wants to work with me. Can't blame them. I'm unemployable at this point. 29 years old and no useful work experience? Kill yourself.
I don't care about how I look anymore. Every attempt I've made is useless, and I've just accepted that I'm a piece of shit that won't get anywhere. "Get your shit together" is the worst motivator that is. In fact, I've yet to find anything that even closely motivates me to do fucking anything.

No chances, no hope.

I was born in 1991, am 24 years old. I have a stable job, currently working on getting my Bachelor in Engineering Management, married and happy.

Seriously just travel. When you are facing the rope you have nothing to lose. Crew a ship, fly to some country and teach english (legally or illegally), volunteer in africa....whatever the fuck. Get out and see the world. Hike to lose weight. Drink to make friends. Do extremely crazy shit but if you really want to die, you will not care. In a year or two you will either be dead or have Hemingway tier confidence. Well at least that shit worked for me.

At least some could have profited from the dotcom boon of the 90s.

I sometimes wonder how working at Walmart was in the 90s before the rampant shit that goes on now. Maybe I would have seen more than a handful of people promoted in 8 years of my employment.

...

>tumblr_np40qa7UyM1qex968o1_500.jpg

I have no money, as in, barely enough to eat.

go down to a port, offer to swab to deck on a cargo ship for passage and some scratch to SE asia, bum around SE asia for dirt cheap, give english lessons or whatever. Volunteer to do IT for some ngo in africa.

You can travel easily.

Degree from top school
Good job, buyside finance
Plenty of sex

Can't complain.

Doesn't work like that in Sweden. Every job, even the most miniscule one, requires years of experience. You got to take weeks of courses to be eligible to scrub toilets (not an exaggeration). You can't just "get a job". Even what is considered shit-tier jobs (McDonalds) are in insanely high demand (hundreds of applicants, easily).

It isn't as easy as it sounds. It doesn't work like that here.
Appreciate the thought though. But no, I'm fucked, and I have no will left. Sweden doesn't need me.

Hahahahahahaha

cut that shit out man. its a crime against god/nature/existence to do that

the world is bigger than you give it credit for

Yes it does, stop being fucking retarded. This is not a job in sweden, this is you leaving sweden. You speak English, that is all that matters.

Now if you want a safety net, comforts, and good health in your native language, then yea, you are fucked. But that also means you are a little attention seeking punk instead of someone truly at the end of your rope. You understand you have nothing to lose by trying both of the things I just suggested?

You think half the refugees invading your country had anywhere near the money or access you have?

Born in 87

Graduated with a decent degree, tried for months/years to get a job with the EPA, DOI or BLM. Jk they just self flagulate and hire each other's nieces and nephews. Moved around to a few different cities in hopes of better job oppourtunities. Wound up with a few jobs over the years but I've never had a salary over 40k/year. Thankfully I'm smart with money so I've been able to live off of it, however, it's basically paycheck to paycheck with minimal savings.

I'm 28 now and have been considering going back for a graduate degree or law degree.

I'm fairly satisfied with every aspect of my life minus my earning power. Wife quality girlfriend, supportive and loving family, good social network and thankfully I'm incredibly resourceful so I know even though I may not be where I want to be today, that I'll eventually get there.

My biggest lament is that I feel like I have no purpose. It's easy to work rando jobs and live a normie life but I need to figure a more concrete plan for my future.

Tldr: By most people's standards I'm doing well, but I'm frustrated and disenchanted with the reality I've been presented with compared to years of empty promises. I guess we're not all special snowflakes after all.

That is an endless loop, Sven
Can't insert a break command without getting mad.
Start by looking for employment online. It has worked for me, and I am worse off than you are in terms of employment prospects.
No chances, no hope - agreed.
That's why you must get up and stand. For yourself, by yourself.

Anywhere I can get on a ship in America to get to Asia? I can't get a passport and want off this ride. Currently in colorado so West coast preferred.

Not my world. If anything, suicide at this point can be considered altruism.
Sorry. Appreciate the thought, but I can't see a solution.
