>>8302126
ugh why is american 'architecture' so fuckin pleb and gross. that house is the equivalent of a dinner out at the olive garden and driving back home in a ford king ranch

>>8302302
watch out everyone the posh god walked in

>>8302302
+1 confirm
fucking hell the hype - in American property shows the hype is real for a one million dollar house and you know that shit is gonna have stones jammed into the front, a big ol' fireplace and fucking vast ugly windows with vast ugly curtains.

that amount would just about get you a flat anywhere worth living

>>8302356
A flat for more than 700000 euros? I think you are exaggerating a bit

>>8302400
£59,6516 in pounds

they do exist lol
>>8302400

>>8302356
the frankenstein kitschy architecture is already offensive enough, but the worst thing is that the houses are built to be viewed from one angle only. these things are ugly as fuck from the sides and back. it's all built around selling some overpriced piece of shit to a dumb american that fell into some money. the only value it has it curb value

>>8302400
and if you want 2!! bedrooms

da fuck with that amount of money in my city you could buy like an house 400 square metres big

And it's not like I live in some third world country, I'm in Italy, albeit not in a very big city(190.000 people)

>>8302494
yeah if youre living in a village. who wants to live there ?

>>8302515
sorry bro can't hear you over the sound of Ferrari and Maserati

>>8302494
yeah :/ but the jobs are in London + pay £35,000 a year on average

>>8302544
Makes sense, considering how a lot of people go to London and can have a career as waiters, while here it is barely enough to live

>>8302126
man, that house is horrendous. Why is American architecture so gross? Personally my dream house would be a re-purposed gothic cathedral, love me some gothic architecture.

>>8303046
about 1.2 million a year and my mom makes over 400k

Grandad is wealthy
live in a ~ £700,000 house, neither my mum or her three siblings work, all supported by him essentially
i rightfully don't see any of this wealth

>implying the wealthy/those in government aren't leeching off of the labour of the working classes

>>8303098

I have the complete family history since 1200.
Started out in Scotland, they had castles made, abandoned those mostly when they went to Germany circa 1500, did the same, then went to the Netherlands in 1700, built plenty of houses there, then they had a period in which they enslaved local people in Indonesia to work on their tobacco farms they went back right before WOII and now the family is spread out over Western-Europe.

A few still live in the original dwellings built by the family. I don't.

>>8303128
thats pretty cool, some kind of royals or something?

>>8303122
>implying I am part of the working class

sure that's cool and all but riddle me this

how does pic related make you feel

>>8303138

Mostly just nobility.
And yes I have a title.

The elders in my family mostly scoff at modern day royals because our family is older and it's history far less tarnished. They seem themselves as superior beings due to superior heritage.

>Also surprisingly little incest, thank god.

28 years old...Never had a job. Raf and Rick usually what i'm dressed in.

>>8302302
that's a french style architecture bro.. and it's a mcmansion tract home. Doesn't qualify as "architecture".

U.S. architecture is like colonial, art deco, and modernism in general.

europoors are retarded.

>>8303139

>implying you're not a leech

My dad earns £120,000 a year and my schooling cost £11,000 a year till uni.

I dont feel very rich though if that can be called rich at all.

>>8303196
am I the only one here that earns £12000 a year and after paying rent food travelcard has almost no money? how the fuck do i succeed irl

>>8303205

Guy you're replying to.

If it makes you feel better my dad started off poor as shit till he married my mum and had me. Lived in a crappy 1 bedroom apt till i was around 2, till he decided he wanted to give his son and his wife a better life than he had, being the uneducated boy he was.

tl;dr - Find something you love enough to make sacrifices for.

Stopped reading there. Why the FUCK are you complaining if your parents can throw 3 grand on some random suits at any time, just to make you feel better? I hope your family loses all their wealth so you can have some real appreciation for life.
>attempting suicide as a rich kid
Just man up you faggot.

Fuck that life man I don't wanna live like that.
I've been applying for apprenticeships in social media management and shit but they all turned me down or just dropped it.

Will volunteer work help me get a job if I just did a lot of it?
I want to work in IT for fashion companies, managing their shit online etc but idk how if I can't get a job or apprenticeship...

>>8307359
where in england? go to uni far away make money

>>8307393

>>8307379

>>8307398
i am also east midlands

Ask me anything again.

>>8307388
don't kill yourself or do what I first said, get a damn IT apprenticeship if you can I be fucking awesome at it
don't do work for nothing plz
I assume you applied at an employment agency?

going to uni to do philosophy

im >>8307275

>>8307398
iktf, i live in rutland, the most boring and empty place in england. the only notable thing here is a fucking reservoir and some fields

>>8307417
I'm trying man and yeah it's an agency, they do it nationally.
I was thinking of a security guard, working at a care home, they're easy and give money right? I could just use that to work my way onto something else.

>>8307420
Not bad, I'll look into University. Most of what I heard about it is that you have to live on ramen and stuff of that nature, didn't think they supported you much.

>>8307425
Sorry to hear it man that's worse than where I am, never even heard of that place.

>>8303070
My mum is a social worker earning under £30k and my house is worth over £900k, property prices in London are full fucking retard nowadays.

>>8307435
depends how poor you are and stuff
check it out
you can get many types of financial support, they even give you free money if you are below £15,000~ish a year household income
and while you have to pay it back, the payments are by no means harsh or anything - some people try and save to pay it off like its a burden, but our teacher suggests just leaving it (what they do take of your income over £21k a year is a small percentage)

>>8307425
just too far out. Nearer a decent city and you would have jackpot

>>8307435
nah the uni money is alright if your not a moron also get a little hussle goin for pocket money

>>8307412

What do you honestly think of poor patricians

I.E. grew up in poverty, worked hard and made it to Cambridge/Oxford and have now acquired taste beyond the pleb culture they escaped from

>>8307425
actually that town/village is probably too empty. You don't want some busy shithole but you want a few decent pub at least

>>8307398
>>8307407
Why are you on a fashion board if you live in the east midlands, this is honestly blowing my mind. It's like seeing a guy from milton keynes in a punk band - just doesn't make sense in my head.

>>8307457
Fashion interests me.
Idk what to do really, I just don't want to be working some shitty job until I die, being unhappy all the way through.

>>8307465

I think geography is your main problem

Just start saving, look at flats and jobs in London and move down south

Seriously though, you won't realise the utter utter shitness of the north until you've lived in London for any period of time

>>8307457
its interesting, and if im wasting my time on 4chan why do you care if i switch to /fa/ for a minute

>>8307473
Londonistan is a shit.

>>8307473
Appreciate the advice.
I still think training to be a security guard and such is a good idea, the job will always exist and you only need to be officially trained and such.
That and care work could be my backdrop whilst I invest into other stuff.

You give me hope Anon.

>>8307479
Why must you shitpost everywhere, in every single thread?

>>8307479

Better than anywhere north of Cambridge, friend

I'm mainly talking about possibilities and opportunities. If you have the skills and determination you can make it in London far easier than in Macclesfield or Hull

>>8307485
I advise against care work
my mum worked in multiple care companies in a short period of time; the hours are demanding, the work is physical, and the pay is relatively low for the job you have to do. the organisation of organisations is a shambles as well, my mum constantly had to reorganise rotas; she was hired to reorganise the routes for careworkers to make them geographically efficient etc, but she never even got to finish that before she quit because she was 24/7 (literally 24/7) reorganising for carers who called in sick or dropped out. she finally quit because after doing so much for the company some bitch had the nerve to undermine her accomplishments and not appreciate what she had done

>>8307487
its only a good place to live if you make good money. Otherwise it is pure hell

>>8307487
Do you think Nottingham university or Anglia Ruskin in cambridge would be a better university

I don't care which I go to but the qualifications for each respectively are A*BC/ABB, and BBC

>>8307504
Yeah, good call, my mother actually does the same thing at the moment and used to do on-call work and had to be out and in all the time.
Now she does fixed work at a care home but the pay is like £12k a year or smth.
Fuck that.

>>8307487
>be 21
>earn 25k/year in Manchester
>live like a king

about sums it up.

>>8307515

Ahahaha okay as a student in Cambridge I can comprehensively tell to you that Anglia Ruskin is complete shit. Nottingham is on the low end of acceptable but still far better than Ruskin

My friends and I have running joke that the only reason someone would go to AR is so they can tell people "yeah I went to uni in Cambridge" - something of a semantic distinction

With that said though if you're paying £9,000 a year then its worth working your bollocks off in sixth form and going somewhere mid-Russell Group at least

>>8307515
Nottingham. Got some friends there that are really enjoying it.

Never even heard of Anglia Ruskin. Judging by those entry grades and its position on The Guardian uni guide, it's complete shit.

>>8307536
Nottingham is russel group & in a fun city, anglia ruskin is shit and in a city full of spods.

>>8307561
Can confirm it's a fun city. Went there for a weekend a couple weeks ago and it was a pretty good night out.

>>8307322

>>8307531
AR seemed alright when I went to the open day, and I don't mind ending up there (it was better than oxford brookes) but id prefer nottingham
my hope is to get A* in english overall so i dont need as high grades in the other subjects
nottingham was out of a choice of birmingham uni and nott uni

How bad is it that I got a D in maths?
I got mostly C's in other stuff.

>>8307604
Pretty bad m8. Do some fucking resits.

also fuckk off this is a 18+ site

didnt say it did
i applied hours before the deadline without having visited any of the uni's prior
gimme a break

>>8307629
You don't deserve a break if you don't have the foresight to plan your future. Fuck, man.

>>8307638
dunt care
i have no plans
going to uni is mainly for something to do so i dont just become a neet or whatever it is
ill figure it out eventually
or maybe kill myself
but since uni is basically paid for that may as well be where i go

I go to uni at Nottingham Trent, my sister went to Nottingham Uni, I've worked a year in Cambridge and visited both Cambridge uni and AR while there (even going to St John's May Ball).

As a general overview:
-Nottingham Uni is beautiful, especially the main campus. Nottingham city is a bit of a shit hole full of shitty people.

-Cambridge is an amazing city and I loved everything about living there. Really enjoyed shopping there, and the summers are just beautiful. But yeah, AR definitely not as good of a uni.

I'd argue that (at least for my degree (Computer Science) ) experience is what employers value most. I got the grades I needed to get an excellent placement at a research lab in Cambridge, and I'm gonna ride off of that rather than my uni's reputation.

Anywhere you go you'll meet great people who will make your time their worth it. But totally wish I'd chosen a city I'd enjoy living in more than Notts

Your experiences may differ

>>8307671
>>8307699
But regardless, I'm not a spoiled rich kid, I posted here because we're to show contrast or whatever, so I wont derail the thread

>>8307699
Sounds like you're legitimately depressed. Uni will either change that or make it worse. Don't just sit in your room all day. That's guaranteed to make it worse. Get out, make friends. Join societies, go on the socials. Get to know the people in your halls, and go on nights out with them. Freshers is a vital time.

I was in a similar position to you in the first year of uni. I didn't move out and it was honestly the worst year of my life. This year, after moving out, I can say has been the best.

Moving away and starting fresh honestly changes people, but you need to make that change. You have to take the initiative.

Good luck, man. And FUCK derailing the thread. Who gives a shit about a bunch of rich kids wanking each other off?

>>8307713
That was helpful, thanks
Nottingham would obviously be the better university, and i have no idea about the city life of either, but in the end i'm fine with either

>>8307741
There have been times in the past where I thought I was depressed, and times where I was worse than I am now, but the fact that it changes, and that I am not depressed all the time, means I wouldn't label it as that since I'm not sure. I thought it could be Dysthymia (?), but again the fact that I can be happy at times or whatever leads me to believe its not.
I'll probably have to get out since I wont have a computer anymore (bar a little netbook thing) and I just hope I can make any friends at all wherever I end up going
and both are at a distance where I will have to move into university accommodation so I'll have to move out and stuff
thanks i guess

>>8307741
Oh gawd dat der depression is killing me, please don't even float the possibility of uni making it worse or I will quite literally lose the will to carry on. I'm crying on the bus tier right now mane.

My dad built his own manufacturing company and then ran it for most of his life.

I honestly have no idea how wealthy my family is. All I know is that we live well below our means in an upper middle-class neighborhood and we have vacation properties in the US and Europe. All of my siblings including myself are well educated. My brother and his wife are both lawyers, my brother in law is a surgeon, and I'm close to graduating with a degree in engineering.

>>8307807
sounds like the best

>>8307747
If you're not too bothered about the qualification and are primarily looking for the uni experience, I'd highly recommend visiting both cities, not even on open days, just to get a feel for the places.

Loads of my friends really love the cities they live in though visiting them I can never quite see it. Cambridge just felt really right for me.

>>8307741
Can definitely agree with this anon. I had a really shitty first year due to lack of involvement. Second year was better but I was living with someone I kind of hated. My final year has been amazing and for the sole reason that I joined a society - wish I'd done it sooner!

>>8307765
>both are at a distance where I will have to move into university accommodation so I'll have to move out and stuff

This will be the best thing you ever do. I'm a completely changed person in my 3-4years at uni. Gone from total no-confidence paranoid introvert to being very happy with myself and happy with everything I do. I've even been asked to do the vote of thanks for my uni's graduation ceremony, something I'd have been terrified to even consider a couple years ago.

Best of luck, anon. You'll definitely find friends and the uni will be there to offer personal support for the kind of feelings you're having now.

>>8307448

I think everyone is shit, but I'm a narcissistic sociopath. I general I couldn't care less, it's not the social class that makes you, it's the way you act that makes you. I have more respect for people who make it on their own anyway, as long as they don't get cocky. I can't help it I was born in a rich family, nor can those in poor, but you can strive to be the best of you. (That sounded like an 80's teen drama motivational speech)

>>8307662

I know plenty of families like that, unsurprisingly the upkeep of castles is horrendous and so are the bills for gas, in terms of their possessions and shitload of heirlooms they are wealthy but in money in hand they are poor. Raised in affluence, left with a massive pile of rocks you never dare to sell because of emotional attachment and because it has been in the family for centuries.

>>8307955

How did your family manage to keep it's wealth?

Is training to become a security guard a good idea?

>family moved to US from SK when I was two
>live in upper middle class suburbs in NJ, near NYC
>dad owns his own business

I really don't know how rich we are. I've never felt poor but we're not that rich either. I don't know how much money my dad makes. Right now I attend an Ivy League university and I plan to go to medical school.

W-will I make, anonfriends?

>>8307251
Thats wrong, I own a few flats around clapham south and they were 400,000 for one bed flats, the key is to buy in the run up to christmas as people get desparate around that time. They make very decent rental incomes, esp from the richer kids over at the medical school in tooting/ the odd city worker.
There was a massive spike around 4 yr ago in prices

>>8308630

Maybe, but it's still larger than average.

>>8307955
nobody gives a shit if you're a narcissistic sociopath.

you're right about the class thing, though. Although also worth noting that the way you speak is massively important. Accent+diction together are probably the largest single marker of class divisions low and high. No matter how rich you are, if you speak like Borat or you talk with glottal stops...

I live in one of the wealthiest cities in the United States and have had an easy upbringing, but my parents didn't spoil me which was a great call on their part. I didn't like it at the time, but I appreciate them teaching me the value of money and not spoiling me rotten. They're extremely frugal about just about everything other than paying for my entire college tuition.

Being a trust-fund kiddie may be fun, but good luck once the money dries up.

>grew up in a lower middle class household

>dad payed for medical stuff and gave us food but wasn't obligated to pay child support

>below poverty line for middleschool and most of highschool, mom often had to borrow money from me and was unable to pay it back, etc.

I was always spiteful towards rich kids cause they had more chances to fuck up and more opportunities to have fun and travel. But I've gotten over that. Not their fault that their parents worked harder than mine. If anything I'm more motivated to make something better for myself.

I come from a high noble family in Sweden, raised on the upper east, moved back to Sweden in my teens. Get all of my suits from norton & sons, watches from breguet, blancpain and jlc.

d-do you guys think if i get into a good enough grad school for my masters and ESL certification and i teach english in china and spend all of my time tutoring rich kids and teaching uni courses and shit i can make enough guap to afford expensive clothes


i mean tutoring gigs can go between 50-200 dollars an hour if you find a rich enough motherfucker who wants his kid to study abroad, but i think the main benefit is if i live in china i can have dirt fucking cheap expenses and spend a quarter on rent/food/etc what i would in the states. honestly if my wages are shitty by american standards i can live like a pig there

>living in china

have fun stepping in human excrement with your geobaskets while walking down the sidewalk while a toddler keeps getting run over by trucks on the street next to you. china is seriously one massive cesspool that lacks all the basic standards of humanity. they dont have public toilets anywhere so people usually just shit into trashcans on the sidewalk, but when there are no trashcans available they just take a shit right there on the ground. its truly disgusting

my family makes like 140k a year and my dad is just a carpenter and my mom is a low level clerk. i have no idea how we have so much money and moreover i don't know what in the world they're spending it on because i've never really seen much of it and my tuition is on student loans. we live in an okayish house in bumfuck nowhere eastern long island and they consider h&m expensive, if i ever told them i was buying clothes worth more than 300 dollars they'd probably shit themselves

maybe they're just really awful with money idgi we should be at least upper middle class but we don't live like it

That said, how inbred are you exactly?

My parents have a net worth of like 5 million but I've never, ever gotten everything I've wanted (my fault in part, I'm too afraid to ask them for things). I currently work an IT job that I landed through my school, and I'm going to a public university to study engineering next year, which I have to pay for.

I'm going to live a good life of my own making, hopefully.

>>8314581
i share some striking similarities with that kid you're talking about
i can tell you from first-hand experience that no matter how much money my parents had, they would tell me to tell everyone who asked that i am "middle class". it stops us from acting like little entitled shits and probably has something to do with the fact that he has worked since he was 8

>>8314603
That's a good mindset, unfortunately the guy I'm talking about was an entitled shit in addition to claiming he was middle class. He just dropped it for free humble points and made me mad considering that by claiming he was middle class he was shitting a huge brown log on anyone who didn't own beachside mansions and large pools.
