Hi and im a young adult who is yet to get a job and would rather do something like a sidehustle. ive been wanting a 3d printer or a laptop for a bit now but both are really expensive nowadys how do you all afford them. like i want to print a bunch of board games things, dnd things, and figures but i cant afford a 3d printer i cant even addord a candybar without involving a family member and i would feel bad if i asked a family member to but one for me and i dont even think they hav ethe money too.

is there something i can do to save up for a 3d printer or something like that?

is this by chance the wrong place to ask this?

    Start off with less pricy but more manual means if your looking to do some crafy stuff. Hand carved and polished pieces from some shop wood or such have potential if you put them up on a site like Etsy.

    Unfortunately you’re going to be asking this question for most luxury goods if you don’t get a job. Side hustles are nice, but they’re called side hustles because you do them on the side, in addition to your job. I mean if you can sustain your standard of living with a hustle, then by all means, more power to you. Most people can’t.
