Punch your little brother square in the chest and call him a little bitch for trying to take money from you. Get a refund for the game. Start with that.

Dude. Sentences. And your little brother threatened you and you rewarded his shitty behavior by buying him a video game? Fuck that.

You need to take control of your life. Get a better job. Stand up for yourself. Work on growing as a person. Learn to budget.

Here's the deal: Figure out where you want to be in 6 months, in 2 years, 5 years, and 10 years from now. What do you want to be doing? What do you want your life to be life? Then go, work towards that.

FYI, you can do a ketogenic diet for relatively cheap. I do. Albertson's has a "Buy 1 Get 2 Free" special on chicken leg quarters, and I cook them on the grill. It's enough protein to feed me for a week ($11). Or have a friend take you to Costco. I eat a little broccoli each day (about $0.50 worth per meal), and I'll get some cheese for fat, plus an avocado/eggs for breakfast. I probably spend ~$2 per meal if I'm careful and plan.

It's one thing to reject shit jobs when you're living with parents that have the means to support you. But if you don't have that, there's no excuse for being unemployed. There a ton of jobs you could take with just a highschool diploma. Get the fuck off TRP and fill out applications to (ex: retail stores) within biking distance.

Donate plasma. Google it.

Potatoes, Rice, Beans. Stop talking to your brother.

any way to make a few extra $ till next month?

You could walk the main drag and suck dick for $30 a pop.

Or you could do what I did (to get through fucking law school) and show up at a labour hall at 5:30am and take whatever shit minimum wage, backbreaking job got thrown at you, and then put in your 8 to 10 hours and get a check at the end of the day.

I had jobs consulting with the local chamber of commerce and lecturing at the university business school but these sorts of jobs are rare and take a certain . . .ideological nepotism to secure on a consistent basis, so I was left high and dry sometimes.

For my last few months before graduation, I ended up working in a sex shop pulling night shifts (midnight to 8am) for minimum wage plus a percentage of sales, and then going to class.

Given your command of English, there is a certain canyon between you and I, but the message still holds: STFU and get a fucking job, any job. Work hard and you will get enough $ to get more of what you want.
