My family dynamic is actually so messed up… so my father is talking about disowning me, and I don’t want to sound spoiled but I’ve never had to worry about finances and now I do. Some help would be great. Jobs, tips, anything?

I’d def start by getting a job anywhere, work experience is work experience and it genuinely helps in the future.

I don't have experience with that or know if you have a degree or a job or what your current situation is like exactly but I guess the basics would just be to start saving money and utilize local resources like public libraries and food banks. I hope things get better for you <3

I have a BS and MS, but I can’t really do much with that. I haven’t had a job before, so I’m basically starting from scratch, but I appreciate it. Thank you!

It’s hard rn- I’ve been applying left and right to positions and hearing almost nothing back. You’ve got this bro! I’d recommend reading up on interview questions and practicing :))

Hmm yea very crazy in fact… I was prepared to take over the family properties and finances and all, so I was too busy learning all that than preparing for life outside of that.
