I really like Octopath, all entries of it, but aside from the Final Secret Bosses, I rarely if ever thought "Oh, this is hard." Only time was Hikaris Final Boss in Octopath 2, and that was largely influenced by me doing his boss as the second final boss, and because of that, me playing without Agnea on my team (She was my protagonist, so she was obviously higher leveled than any other character)

Point is - I really like the game, and am searching for similar games! I also don't mind a good Story, BUUT I am someone that cares more about good gameplay. I don't mind playing a game with a bad story if the gameplay is amazing.

This Post is extremely embarrassing to type about for me. Like, really-But I'll do it anyway. I will try to keep everything short, and don't get too personal. I don't exactly want to talk about my personal/social life unless it's absolutely needed.

About me - I am currently 20, though I turn 21 in under a month. I never worked a day in my life (Unless you count unpaid work-practice I did in school for two weeks). I never finished any kind of school and dropped out with 18 and for the past 2 years I did close to nothing. If it's important, my dad also pretty much doesn't work (I have no contact with my mom, and only live with my dad) so I grew up with very little of anything. (I live in Germany if asked)

If you ask why I never worked, and why I never finished any sort of school - It's simple. There is no real story. I am lazy, have no discipline, and also recently got diagnosed with ADHD (Though that isn't really an excuse - I could have finished school most likely, if I wanted to). Doing absolutely nothing for two years did not help build any good habits, obviously. I am probably below average IQ too, though no proof for that.

For the money aspect - As stated, my dad doesn't work either. Still, I sometimes got money from him, around 50$ each month. That money has been wasted by me for pretty much as soon as I remember. Not for anything useful, but either for useless spotify subsriciptions, skins in video games I used to play like LoL or Fortnite, or, most commonly, Energy Drinks (Monster...). I never saved, never invested money into anything useful and never felt the need to.

So, to short it up - I have no expenses. Food, Rent, so on is paid by either the state or my father. I have no income besides 50$ a month, which so far, I did nothing useful with.

Now, you might ask why I wrote this post. Again - I don't want to go too much into any personal things but I really wanted to stop throwing my life away, though I didn't know how or why I did it. Anyway - My bank account is currently on around 85$ as at least the last months I stopped buying so many things I don't need. But I know two things. The money sitting there is doing pretty much nothing currently, and I know that my self control is VERY fragile. Especially when the money isn't doing anything useful to me.

So, my extremely simple question is - What do I do with my "income" (if you can even call it that) and the money I saved up? And yes, searching a job, any job would of course be benefical. I know that much too, though, again, I know my self-control, which would end up with me buying stuff I don't need as long as the money isn't doing anything. So I basically need to force myself to do something with the money. Investing the money, maybe? I don't know.

If asked, I have zero debts. While I am awful with money, I don't spend more than I have.

I appreciate every comment. I know that I have close to nothing, and my knowledge on investing for example is "limited" at best (more like non-existent) but I feel like I need to ask people that actually have an idea on what they're talking about. Because I know I for sure don't and I would end up doing something stupid.

if you have any other questions, feel free to ask
