I really wanted a modded Xbox 360 when I was younger because I thought being able to play ‘backed up’ games and having a custom dashboard was really neat.

I ended up buying one last year to fulfill that childhood wish.

    Croatia, the number prob is too high but most people I know and see only work seasonal work here, tricky part here is that thay season work can be anywhere from 3 months to 10 months, depending on the job.

    And on the note of teachers, doctors, … we are severelly lackijg then because people leave the country since the pay is so small that it pays of more to work a seasonal job than being any of them.

    Ironic.

      So do you just sit on your ass for those other months? Because you could try doing freelance work on the internet or something. I just find it so hard to believe that an entire country is functioning off of people only working a few months a year.

        Not at all, also most my seasonal work is for 7- 10 months, so my income downtime isn’t that high but I still take time to make money in that downtime and make sure I have some income and apply for full time jobs.

        I make something close to 35-50 job applications a month when I’m not working and last month of the season work, but barelly anyone will hire here when there isn’t a tourist season.

        On the note of feeelancing I tried, but don’t really jave the skills to do it since I mostly like to do manual work, I’m not a fun of sitting at a computer to make money.

        Mostly like this last month I have been painting the walls and assembling furniture for my grandmother that recently bought a new kitchen. Of course not for free, she wouldnt be able to bare it to not pay me for that work.

          Well in that case I’ll refer you to my initial comment. It gets easier. Be smart with the money you do make, keep trying, and before long you will have disposable income. Like I and others have said, it’s totally normal to not have a lot of money when you’re just 20. Most people don’t start experiencing any kind of financial security until they’re closer to 30
