I need some advice on what steps to take to turn my life around. I dont want to be negative, just honest and objective about my situation.
About me:
Im a 20 year old male, living in London. I was lucky enough to get a scholarship to study maths at one of the best unis in the country, since i natuarally got excellent grades throughout school, although i never really enjoyed school or tried very hard. Im also perfectly healthy have a driving license/passport.
Im an individualist-anarchist, and my main goal in life is to acheive as much freedom as possible, so i loved the Millionaire Fastlane as it confirmed a lot of the thoughts i already had, and realised that i wasnt alone in my thinking. I feel that I will never be happy working for someone else and it is necessary to earn an income through my own business.
My original plan was to go through uni, get an internship at a bank, get my degree, get a job as a trader then start a hedge fund.
Unfortunately ive failed my exams (i dont have any good excuses for this, laziness, lack of motivation) and will have to repeat them next summer. I wont be getting any funding from my donor/loans and i have now spent all my money and maxed out my interest free overdraft/credit available to me (so im £1500 in debt and have no access to money).
Im living on a friends floor at the moment, but hes leaving the country in less than 2 weeks. Dont know what im going to do then.
I need help deciding whats the best action to take right now...
My parents are getting a divorce and my mum hasnt been in contact with me for a year so no support there. I hate living with my dad and dont want to go back home. He would give me food/shelter, tho, only under the condition that i go back home and try and contact my mum and convince her to get back together with my dad. This is a ridiculous demand to place on me in my opinion, and something i refuse to do.
I could get job seekers allowance £50/week, but this isnt much good to me if im homeless.
I have been trying to get a job in the industry i want to work in. Ok, so i have good grades from school and attending an excellent uni, but failing the year puts a huge dent on this. I have spent years reading and researching about finance, trading, backtesting and developing quantitative trading strategies, hedge funds etc but no bank, hedge fund or prop desk i have applied to has offered me anything beyond an interview so far.
Applications are long and im running out of time and still need to eat/sleep somewhere. Im stuck on what to do right now, and need advice from similar minded people who have good suggestions to offer.
All i can think of right now is applying for a job in a fast food joint or offering adult services, neither of which id be too happy with
I just need to get enough money to pay for food, shelter and have a little left over to try and start a business with/invest.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
