Financial / car buying advise

[Dloks]

I guess I'm so young I haven't really found what I like and what I'm good at... Iv had plenty of ideas of what I would like from investing my money in the stock market to having my own T-shirt website and designing shirts. I'm not the most handy guy but I feel as though I want to be if that makes sense

I’ve done so much prior to this new direction I’ve gone from digging ponds, selling cars, medical machines, houses, stock brokering, real estate developing. And I can tell you you’ll never know what you like or good at till you try. If you want to invest some money into the stock market the time is now don’t think twice invest what you can afford whether it’s blue chips or penny stocks. Get your feet wet lol

Please stay way from the Bitcoin crap. That train passed lol the window for success with that stuff was always going to be short. Not gonna lie I wish I caught it though.

Yeah I'm stuck at apoint where I may need to try to start over and was thinking about realestate

It was fun while it lasted. I’m still confident in it though. Besides Bitcoin there’s other crypto that are striving. Microsoft soon enough will start accepting payment a by certain crypto. Real estate is hmm how you say it more who you know than anything else. Especially living in Cali with the blooming communites of Chinese immigrants. $$$

Thank you all for the reply's / advise. I think as of now I'm gonna keep doing Wat I'm doing saving up for a vehicle and wether or not I finance will depend on the dealership. After the new vehicle I'm gonna start looking into apprenticeships more seriously and hopefully move up pretty quick but we'll see. If I'm not in a financial place to move out wen my gf graduates then we'll just have to wait a bit.. Patience is a virtue.

I'm that trucks paid off run that sucker into the ground. Car payments suck and would be worse than the minor repairs your truck is going to need. If you want to be smart pretend you have a car payment and put that amount away every month.

Career advice is tough to give it all depends on your long term goals and the goals of your spouse (who ever that may be)

I've been a union laborer, VP of IT on wall street , chemical plant worker and correction officer. Imo you can't go wrong with govt,state or city jobs. They are rock rolid and for the most part uniformed staff is pretty much recession proof.

Electrician is a great trade but when I was in the union I felt that it was too much feast or famine. Even making big bucks in IT wasn't recession proof.

If I had to give my kid the same advice as your looking for I would say : Find a career that you actually like do you think it will allow you to provide for a family ?

Nothing wrong with being an electrician BUT what happens with work dries up for a while ? On the flip side you will be learning a trade and that's always valuable I say take the apprenticeship if thats what's available to you but continue looking at other careers.

My think is retirement if you can land a job that has a gauranteed pension I would seriously consider it.

Short story , I have a friend that got a job in the Dept of sanitation in NY. While the rest of us were making decent money in construction , wall street and what not he started out making peanuts. Guy was a genius. Top pay with OT was close to if not more than 6 figures a year great health coverage and never have to worry about lay offs or a crappy economy. While the rest of spent yrs trying to figure it out he was picking up garbage.

He'll be just over 40 yrs old retired collecting a full pension and owns 2 houses.

Great advice.
