I am a 27 year old man with $22,000 to my name. I flip burgers for $20/hr. Does anyone on this godforsaken board have any advice for me?

Put toilet paper down before shitting in public. It creates a nest so your turd can breathe before being flushed

what are good certs to get?
My rent is $750 and it looks like I can continue this situation I'm in for at least 2 more years

Trying to see if there's a future for me that doesn't involve flipping meat patties for my entire life

I also have no debt, no criminal history and a relatively healthy body. I am not too fat. 6'2 male 190 lbs

College graduates on average make 22k more than HS grads. Do the math on a 40k degree if you make 52k after college that's 12k more than you're making now each year for the next 30 years

$20/h is good money friend. I made $12/h flipping burgers most my life.

Not even close to too old. 40 isn't too old for college. If you get a degree that costs you $50k (which is a ton), and you make $5k a year more with it (you can do better than that), congrats, over 20 years you made $50k more in profit. That is an extreme lowball.
>What else were you going to do with the time? If you honestly were going to do something l like a side job, you'd be financially ahead. Otherwise if the time was going to hobbies or something, that's valid, but there's a financial trade off.

I’m 27 with $1,300 in my bank account and have $90k in crypto. I’m one bad dice roll from being bankrupt in monopoly. Unironically this is the only way to play and win.

At $20 per hour for flipping burgers you’re literally robbing people. You should honestly be ashamed.

20 an hour is good for burger flipping, how are you making that much? I wouldn't mind a second PT job.

You need to lose the defeatist mentality first. Your life is what you make it, literally.
Don't fucking go to college though. Get certs in something that actually interests you. College is the biggest waste of money and time and it's not going to work well with your attitude (I dont mean that as a negative).

I can't help you much, I only have KEK bags and I'm addicted to leftovers, sometimes working in the mcdonalds kitchen has its benefits
maybe you could start college, you always forget about money when you're studying
