Since you are on SSI, make sure you check with your case worker about getting additional income. Be prepared to get cut off SSI if you end up making more the amount they allowed income per year. Don't drop SSI unless you are extremely sure that job will be there for you and you will not get fired from it. I don't know how easy it is to get re-instated for SSI. With the SSI allowance you are getting, I don't see how you can struggle to live either at home or share a room with some one. Are you on any daily medication at all? If so do you have to pay for part of it, or all is paid for?
dont think ill be here much longer.......

Dude get into Aquaculture, good money, help native stock re populate and play with fish all day, no brainer.
I am new on here and thus dont know any of you. Normally I woudl stay clear of these types of threads but I have seen a few of my friends go through this and I was lucky enough to be on the other side of things. So here is my advice...
Your 20 years old without a HS diploma or GED. You need to slow the hell down and think about WTF you want to do with your life. Sure you can live off of your 700 or so from SSI now but what about 2-3 years down the line? What about 10? Stop thinking so short term. What happens when you want a new car, you want a 500 gallon fish tank, you need to buy a house, or you knock some girl up? Life is not a planned event. It likes to mess with you every chance it gets. SO stop *****ing about your life and actually do something about it. You think your grandparents are harsh on you? Wait till you have bill collectors, bosses, kids, ect barking at you. You dont get freedom you earn it and you have yet to show any drive towards doing so IMHO.
Sit down and think about where you want to be in 10 years. Thinking short term will never get you anywhere. What type of work would interest you? Would you have to move to pursue it? Would you need college degree? All things need to be thought about.
You will notice I did not say will it need a GED as that is a foregone conclusion these days. With the current unemployment and everythign else out there you need to have not only basic skills but education to get a job. If nothing else that time will result in higher pay to help you stay on your own two feet. So go get your GED now. Stay in at night to study and stop messing around. Give yourself 1 night a week to go out and have a good time as we all need some fun in our lives. The rest of the time you should spend looking for basic job to do during the day and getting your GED at night. Make something of yourself and stop blaming others for your shortfalls. If you can not even stand up for your own self interest what makes you think anyone else will? Honestly trying to make it through life these days without a GED (and even more education/job training) is just asking for people to step all over you and never really respect you out there. It is sad that we are like that as humans but most are petty enough to always look down on people and treat them differently. You are that person if you dont put in the effort. The badass was perhaps cool in school but in real life the nerds suddenly become cool since they are able to put in the initiative.
You need structure in your life right now. You need to set up a schedule and abide by it. Get up in the morning at the same time and look for a job each day/study for your GED. Spend the time with your family helping around the house as that shows you putting in the effort even more and I bet they get off your back. Right now they must feel like you are just using them and that sucks as a family member. They are trying to look out for you right now as they dont think you can make a correct decision. From you smoking, no job, and no GED I can't say I disagree with them.
So stop wasting your energy complaining and crying "Oh woe is me"... Do somethign about it. And no that does not mean move out and continue the path you are on. You need to make a significant life change...

LBF vents like he is getting paid on this forum…. this guy is not going to change. Let be honest people, I can’t believe my tax dollars is supporting this guy. The only people you can depend on are your family and you are trying to burn them again by moving out when you promised at least 1 year. You’ve already moved out on them I think twice in the last year and trying to move out again when you just moved back in like last month? You are a freaking joke if you do this to your grandparents. They might hate you or whatever, but they let you move back in because you are family. Try moving in and out of your friends and see what happens. GET RID OF YOUR TANKS, STUDY AND PASS THE DAMN TEST FOR GED. GETTING A GED IS NOT HARD AT ALL.
If you put as much effort studying and looking for job then venting about your family on this forum…. I think you would have accomplished both already. You should really stop posting and start doing… let me ask you one question LBF… what time did you wake up this morning? Probably was still sleeping when I asked.

that's exactly how i feel. and exactly why i'm disgusted at the whole SSI, welfare, unemployment, random govt assistance programs out there. all we're doing is breeding a generation of lazy people who sit on their ass all day, point fingers, shift the blame on somebody else, and complain about how their situation is so messed up and nobody wants to help them, meanwhile they wait for the time of the month when their govt check arrives. it's pathetic.pURPLEcHILLIrED123;4372046;4372046 said:
