Define "success"

[Governor Megachris%Participant 3584]

So I turned 30 yesterday, and I’ve had a few stings here and there from family and friends for not being “successful” yet or not flourishing.

My mother when she was in an argument with me not long before my birthday: “At least I have my life together and have stability and I have my entire adulthood!” (Despite the fact that she’s ALWAYS had a man to take care of her and help her out to this very day)

My grandmother wishing me a “happy birthday” just the other day: “Well, you’re turning 30 now and have no home, no steady job, and as far as I know not very much money. It’s said if you’re not in a career by the time you turn 25, you will never get out of that situation. That’s why I’m proud of your sister. She has a kid, just got married, just got a house, and she’s kept the same job for several years!” (She’s worked a weekend-only job and my mother helps her watch her son on those days, and has been able to live with at least SOMEONE while she built herself up).

Various friends of mine like to tell me how they don’t understand how I’m still in my situation, despite having applied for at least 50-60 jobs a week. I had a full-time job that put me on for 2 weeks, hiring me with another person (a woman they knew personally) and decided to keep the woman and laid me off. During the time I had the position, I started looking for a living arrangement “for fun” until I was at that job for a while. All of them said “must have good credit and no broken leases.” I have two in my past, as some of you on here know. So, finding a place to sleep at night is near to impossible unless I want a hotel.

I’ve been doing UberEats deliveries to make money to eat and pay my bills. My bills are MINIMAL, and that’s the one thing my friends say they’re somewhat envious of. I pay no rent. Just insurance, a storage unit, my phone bill, a gym membership and two other small bills “for fun” that all total to maybe about $300 tops.

I HATE living in my truck, especially when it gets hotter and more uncomfortable out as it is now, but unlike my family and friends, I don’t have a woman weighing me down and shaming me for the situation, and I don’t have any children I owe anything to. Once I get “that” job that will build me up, I won’t have any other obligations and I can only go up from here. I’m out of my other financial holes I dug myself into when I first joined this site, and I’ve been able to feel pretty free otherwise to do what I love (like gaming and researching stuff).

I may not be what the world sees as “successful,” but I’m at least satisfied. I get depressed every day over my situation, but I also think about how it could be much, much worse.

(Define “success”)

Gaining the ability and means to do what you want, how you want, when you want.

[bstoffParticipant 4863]

I think you’re on the right track, despite the setbacks.
You seem to be doing what is needed to achieve your goals.

The first thing you ought to do is put these negative women out of your life and keep them there if they do nothing but disparage you.
Women are useless parasites, period.
You should tell your mom and granny so, they have achieved nothing but latched onto someone to support them.

My advice to find more “success” would be to get more creative and open-minded about finding a source of income.

There are jobs out there. Maybe a fresh start in a new location would help.

“Success” is a trap… more important to be content with life. Living in a truck probably isn’t ideal, but I’ll bet if you continue living frugally, you’ll be able to change that. I don’t know how things are where you live, but around here you can get an acre of land with water and sewer connections for $2500. Add a used RV and you can live fairly comfortably.

Success for me would be freedom from the will of others at every level.

So, are you seeking full karmic detachment so that you may ascend to a high plane of existence? (Not joking. Just asking.)

[bladeParticipant]

I dont look at people with vast amounts of money been successful .

Success is with in . Success is mastering yourself to be happy and content .

Been poor you will find yourself . True human self .

Dont envy those that have . They have nothing .

You are free

TO BE A SUCCESSFUL HUMAN BEING

No, seeking to not marry/be in a serious relationship, have kids, or be taxed/pay for other people’s s~~~/special interests.

I am fine with paying for roads/bridges/things that everyone in a community need/use (goods I purchase come to me and my area via those roads, as may an ambulance one day to save my ass), I am not fine paying for other people’s kids/schools, other people’s/countries wars/bulls~~~.

Full karmic detachment doesn’t sound like a bad idea though now that you mention it as the cuckoldry of special interests on both the Left and the Right seem to have me bent over for the foreseeable future.

[BritGHOWParticipant 2566]

I’m a simple creature so I’d stick to:

Every day I live my life on my own terms rather than those of a society that doesn’t care if I live or die.

Every night I go to bed knowing something I didn’t know yesterday.

Every month I check my financials and see bigger numbers than last month.

That to me is success.

[Anonymous 42]

Success is a nice clean pinch when you’re taking a s~~~!

[TheSpiceParticipant 2644]

One thing is for sure… never accept the definition of success from a woman. Laugh at them.

"I've been thinking about what it would be like if we got back together."
"You know it's too late for that."

[CarnageParticipant 22113]

Who do you think is more succesufull you or me?

IM 34 now, doctor, good income, but i was married was used for a visa and as a meal ticket, then got the boot, got all crazy almost evict my self from my meat suit. wasted a lot of money on a c~~~ and her family, lost my self respect, honor, faith in humanity and all my f~~~s to give.

you dont have a job, dont have a house, dont have a degree, but at least you are redpilled as f~~~, mgtow and you where not used like a piece of toilet paper.

Congratulations you win.

next time you female family members start talking s~~~ tell them “yeah well life is harder when you dont have the option of opening your legs to get what you want”

My mother is everything i got left, but i got not an ounce of respect for her as a woman.

To those following me, be careful, I just farted. Men those beans are killers.

Success can be defined in many ways, depending on the criteria.

Your attitude seems good, you are not letting other drag you down, you are in the mix of things, you’ve learned some things, you are still plugging along, keeping out of unnecessary trouble and drama, no major debts crushing you, no unpleasant woman to live with, no divorce rape in sight. Near 100% control of your life and schedule. You are still youthful.

Many guys who have more money and better jobs than you would wish they could trade places with you.

Women want everything, but want responsibility and accountability for nothing.

[MarketWatcherParticipant]

Happy birthday. Success=Sovereignty.

S~~~ you not man just the other day I was wondering what you been up to (was browsing old timer threads and saw posts from you…. you ain’t that special :P) …

Regardless of your condition the mental state of contentment is a key to improve one’s situation. Doesn’t matter what area you want to improve on – it needs focus and for that you need to be content and be pragmatic in how you utilize your time.

I do hope your living situation improves as the whole living in your truck is going on quite a bit too long – keep us all posted on how things are going for you.

You are among brothers – so shoot us a message whenever you feel a need to vent.

Best wishes with your job hunting man.

[iMickey503Participant 12465]

You will find what you want in life sooner or later. Sometimes the best thing is to just do what you need to do.

Not everyone wins in this life. But if you don’t have anything on your mind but a job for the reason of having money, your not going to get anywhere really.

It sad, but since you have nothing to really work for, or really thirst or want, you may be doing this for a long time.

And since the world has made it so that men can only do certain jobs, and anything else would be a danger to you, you may be stuck where you are.

Don’t let it bother you. I lived in my car for over a year, and it was the happiest place I was in my life with the circumstance I am living with.

They want to control you man. They want you to get a place so they can entrap you with a woman. Bills you don’t need to pay, and obligations you don’t want to partake in.

If anything, all they want is to say ” WOW look at HIM! I am related to him! ”

They want to use you as a launchpad for their success. And at the same time, they may very well feel bad for you.

Some men just don’t fit in. And sometimes, you just have to accept that.

You are all alone. If you have been falsely accused of RAPE, DV, PLEASE let all men know about the people who did this. http://register-her.net/web/guest/home

Consider yourself lucky you aren’t enslaved.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

Define “success”
Enough cash flow to do what I want when or close to the time I want to do it. With the basics, place to live, minimal bills, enough space to work my craft. Small plot of land for growing vegetables. My only extravagance would be a fishing boat.

Just pulled in almost $90 today delivering. Pays for my gas tank, food, and savings account.

Amount spent today: $12.

I’d say I’m (slowly but surely) on the right track.

It’s interesting you mention that. I’ve been thinking very hard about returning to Arkansas again. I got more job call-backs up there in the middle of nowheresville than I have here in Houston. My guess? The job competition isn’t nearly as bad up there and they’re looking for educated and experienced people, not just people to fill their Affirmative Action quota.

Yeah, it’s 8 hours away, but the area is better looking and the cost of living is cheaper. I love Texas, but good geez is it expensive around here. There IS a small town I’m looking at about an hour from me as well that has land for very cheap as well. I’d be completely satisfied with a small spit of land and a tiny house. They have land in that small town (Liberty) for just a few grand, and the property tax is insanely cheap.

I had a female friend of mine offer to let me stay with her (she stays with her dad), but I learned my lessons from co-habitating with a woman. NEVER AGAIN. Biggest reason I can’t find myself able to take up on her offer? As tempting as it is to take an offer on a couch/bed, she asked me “so if you live with me, how long would it be until we could finally date!? I’d let you sleep in my bed with me…” RED FLAG, RED FLAG! That, and she has a kid. She’s just dying to have someone be her baby’s new daddy. No thanks!!
