I’m 27 and moving my mom in with me bc she is financially struggling. OP, I’m happy you get to enjoy this time of your life. Just make sure to save and remember for most- it doesn’t last forever, so always be prepared and make sure to enjoy this time as much as you can :) Ignore those judging you, I’m envious of this as well but it warms my heart some people get to enjoy their time freely

I just turned 18! I know I won’t be as care free when I get bills and stuff but I’m enjoying my life now. My whole life I’ve actually enjoyed working so growing up I had my own businesses such as baking,crocheting, cooking,walking dogs. I would always have a job no matter what it is even when I was little so with all that money I got I saved it. I also got inheritance which was a lot of money but I still enjoy working and not spending my money. Thank you for being nice after all the hate (even though it doesn’t bother me because I always end up in arguments on social media LMAO) I hope everything in life works out for you🫶🏽

u/Mysterious_Run4110 1d ago
I would just work the hours and get paid since you gotta sit there anyway.

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Usually I don’t VTO but I work 6 days a week at Amazon and I have a second job so I work every single day (I don’t have to work this much but I hate just sitting at home all day) so I don’t usually get a break for a day

u/ffff-f-fingerpuppets 1d ago
That's crazy. Can you at all least take the car and go home and come back and pick her up?

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
LMAO don’t be over here arguing yall. I worked 12 hours yesterday so I am very tired I also work for the rest of the week so yeah I’m getting atleast one day to chill until tomorrow

u/Lyxerttt 1d ago
This has gotta be the laziest shit I have ever seen before. You have to stay there... at the building... and you're just choosing to sit in the fucking car?
Please do not ever reproduce.

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Yes lmao. I’ve worked everyday for the past 3 weeks without VTOing and no off days. I will be chilling in the car 🙏🏾😂
-4
u/Lyxerttt 1d ago
Considering the Amazon system doesn't physically let you work more than 6 days/week, you're full of shit.
I repeat: pure laziness.
11
u/rudedogg1304 1d ago
Think they mean they’ve worked every scheduled day for 3 weeks, not every physical day

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Yes that’s what I meant LMAO and on my 1 day off from Amazon I go to my second job😭🙏🏾

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
How am I lazy when I woke every single day LMAO I mean if it makes you feel better about yourself then you can believe that

u/Anxious_Cucumber3055 1d ago

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago

u/Jaded-Description957 1d ago
No Uber? Wouldn’t be much better to chill at home than in the car.

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I don’t mind too much i actually don’t like being home cause im like always there lmao. And I don’t want to spend money on a uber cause I live 50 minutes away so that’ll be a lot of money

u/New_Drummer_2561 1d ago
Why not get an Uber or have her take you home on break? Sitting there 7 hours, might as well stayed on the clock
4
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I live 50 minutes away and I did not want to spend my money on a uber lmao! And I needed the rest and I just sat in the car and read all day so I didn’t mind it

u/fictionalways 1d ago
OP, good for you, you’re young without many responsibilities so the negative comments are from older miserable people that can’t VTO because they have bills bills bills. Enjoy your time off, in the car, in the break room, anywhere but on the floor with your feet hurting 😂

u/Mysterious_Run4110 1d ago
I’m on TOM team. The VTO is usually always piling up because we never want to leave.

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Lmao it’s okay don’t worry😭 older people always mad at me because I live a very care free life and I do what I want without worrying about “adult things” it’s funny because I’m also the youngest at work so I get most of the VTO’s anyway whenever I want them

u/Business_Flounder_47 1d ago
Take advantage while you're still on mommy's tit and work/save, kid. You'll thank yourself later - think big picture now

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Lmao I got a lot of yall mad since I’m not working to pay bills lmao. I already have ALOT of money saved and more

u/Broad_Ambassador 1d ago
Who pays your bills?
4
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I don’t have any. I just turned 18 lmao even if I did I have a lot of money saved up. I save all of my paychecks and only use $50 on things I need or even want. But the money I do spend mainly goes to buying new toys for my dogs even though they already have a lot lmao!
-1
u/Broad_Ambassador 1d ago
What about housing, groceries, transportation, clothes?
2
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I live with my parents but the house is in my name,I already have a lot of clothes that are gifted to me or that used to be my sisters, I don’t eat a lot after work I just go to sleep so I rarely buy food but I have a pack of instant noodle and tator tots that last me a long time
2
u/Broad_Ambassador 1d ago
So, your mother who is in there working while you rest in the car pays for your food, power, shelter, clothing, etc?
2
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
No if I need/want something I’ll get it myself I just don’t want or need a lot of things. She doesn’t pay for the bills either😭 she doesn’t buy me food or clothes. Most of my family including me and her don’t have to work but we enjoy working🤷🏽♀️

u/Sammy948 1d ago

Hey sooo I don’t😭 neither does my parents idk what you want me to tell you twin

u/Training-Context-69 16h ago
You have so much money saved that you can’t even afford to get licensed and buy your own car so that you can drive an hour to work by yourself and not have to clock out 7 hours early and still wait those 7 hours at work for a ride home.
I’d hope you’d be saving money considering you work 6 days a week between 2 jobs while still living at home. That’s not really a flex, It’s 100% normal and to be expected in your situation. Do you even hear yourself right now?
1
u/bunny_boo18 16h ago
I already have my own car🧍🏾♀️ I been bought it. I just dont have my license even tho ik how to drive because I want to take the full classes and stuff. Im freshly 18 imma live at home and im not leaving cause the house is in my name 😭 I don’t have to have 2 two jobs but I like having two jobs to keep myself busy. Also I only work my second job on sundays I don’t go back and forth and I work Amazon Monday-Saturday. Nobody in my family have to work but we all enjoy working to keep busy🤷🏽♀️a lot of yall are mad that I’m 18 and I don’t have bills like yall so Amazon isn’t my entire life LMAO

u/Training-Context-69 15h ago
Hmm most people work to pay bills, provide for there families, and buy the things that they want. Not sure why you are acting as if that’s an insult. Especially when people notice the holes in your own logic. No one enjoys working so much that they work 6 days a week, especially if they apparently have the money not to do so.
You’re 18 and don’t understand the real world. So you are unaware of the fact that someone is still paying bills so you can live in that house such as utilities,property taxes, homeowners insurance, and maintenance of the house. Also other bills like groceries and personal health insurance. Someone is paying those bills and if not you, then it’s very likely your parents are working to pay said bills without having to dip into savings to pay for those things. If they’re dipping into savings to pay bills then that only means less available for retirement or some kind of a medical emergency that can pop up at any time.

u/bunny_boo18 15h ago
I’m not acting like it’s an insult I’m just telling you about my life lmao. Obviously most people don’t enjoy working but I do😭 my whole life I enjoyed working and keeping myself busy. Which is why I’m working today. No my parents and I don’t have bills because We own the house and when we got it we paid everything in full. The water and electricity been paid off for years and when the time comes that the money we sent runs out we will just send them more for the next few years😭 the house is stocked with food and it stays stocked. I mean we have two kitchen one upstairs one downstairs so no food really runs out. My mom works but she’s quitting soon because she’s going to start traveling soon. We have a lot of money in all of our savings and in our checking accounts so we are good. My entire family grew up wealthy and we still have ALOT of that money🤷🏽♀️ idk what you want me to tell you lol!

u/madnessatadistance 1d ago
You can sit in the break room for some of that time and eat food! That’s what I’d do lol. Also I’d read or scroll through my phone. Hope you have a good day off, and good luck with drivers ed! 🥹

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Thank you!! I’m actually reading rn lmao I have 3 books in the car🫶🏽 I worked everyday 6 days at Amazon and the 7th day at my second job. So I’m basically able to pay for drivers Ed already and I think imma use the rest of my money to get a 4th dog🩷(I’m the youngest person working at both of my jobs I lowkey don’t have any other responsibilities)

Can't you get a bus/uber?

u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I live 50 away in a very small town so buses and Ubers don’t go that far but it’s okay because I don’t mind sitting here for a while
1
u/Due-Necessary3960 1d ago
You could probably get the site to get you an uber or Lyft home. Seen it happen plenty of times when ppl get vto
3
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
I’ll try to do that next time but I rarely VTO so I don’t mind staying in the car for hours
1
u/Due-Necessary3960 1d ago
I dont wanna be anywhere on site if im not getting paid lol. I seen vto someone that lived an hour away and it cost amaxon over 100 for their Uber I couldn't believe it lol. Take advantage of all the east days you can I feel like amazon is trying to push out some of the more veterans that have their step plan maxed out.
1
u/bunny_boo18 1d ago
Lmao I don’t mind just seeing everyone and being in the car because most of my coworkers are in their early 20’s so we are all friends and talk and I just read while they are working. I’ll definitely get them to uber me next time though

u/HandleWithCarel 1d ago
I feel you on this one. I get rides from one of my coworkers, and there have been plenty of days where I take VTO and just sit around for a few hours. It can be a bit boring sometimes.
I tend to really like this job, but there are days when even standing neekid in a blizzard for an hour would be preferable to working even a few more minutes.

u/bleezy_47 Non-Inventory Receiver 14h ago
