Man this thread is really explaining a lot of posters on this forum

You need to be in school or employed to receive an education or be trained.

If you are "educating" then you are employed as a teacher or something similar.

If you are "training" in a professional sense then you are also employed.

Oh lawd im a neet. Ill just tell people that I am an architect or a latex salesman.

Neet life is probably the most rational choice

Easier to rationalize failure than to achieve success

I make it a point to stay in bed until 11, even if not sleeping. The mornings are the worst so I try and avoid them.

You should do something more productive with all that free time like train BJJ 24/7, train for a marathon, go on long hiking trips etc.

Even if you don't have cash you have time which is valuable and useful.

Noice
In my position it made sense to me
Training BJJ costs cash. I agree though. I've started working out again, taking walks daily during the week. I'm actively doing things I enjoy more since I have a lot of free time and building better habits than I had when I was working

I am SHOCKED you’re a piece of chit neet.

Only not because of course you are you useless *******.

Total freedom is great but it sounds like you dont have the money to finance it so it sounds boring tbh.

fukn lost it when the astronaut appeared lmao

Bro if you have the discipline to work out then you can hold down a job or even start a business.

And you probably aren't a NEET if you have at least some amount of professional training through your last job.Ain't even freedom if you have to pay to live.

Maybe I am too hard on NEETs, but they get a bad name because online they act like failing is a superior choice and don't take responsibility for their actions.

It's tough love, living on government cheese is not something to be proud of.

Unless you are a monk or live in some sort of collective tribal society or something, we all need money to live.

Better you make it yourself than be stuck in this limbo of shame and dependence on government-sponsored charity.

That's why people lie about it in real life, because it's a source of shame.

Holy fuk lol somehow I didnt see this until nowYeah true if I had a few milli this would be much sweeter of an experience NEETMAXXINGIt's not about can I hold down a professional job, its about do I want to. Also being a NEET and being dependent on the government aren't the same. I'm not dependent on the govt

Ermmm...no, just someone with a work ethic and who wants to contribute to society. Plus, it ISN'T free, it is funded by the taxes of working people, amongst other sources.

Your day-to-day life sounds somewhat aimless OP. Not mirin. Don't you want to feel like you've achieved something at the end of each year?

Freedom is a state of mind.

In short, yes. I want to do the things I enjoy now and worry about the things I need to do after that, and I only want to worry about doing what I need in order to sustain doing and having what I want.

It's notthatdifficult to get your needs (food, shelter, water, safety) met in 2021. I'm more focusing on what I want rather that conventional methods of getting what I need, such as working a job I hate while not doing what I want.

so does working the 40hr work week for mr noseberg

Try men

For even while we were with you, we gave you this command: “If anyone is unwilling to work, he shall not eat.” - 2 Thessalonians 3:10

there will come a time when NEETs are genocided srs

So you live off your parents?

Believe it or not, some people want to do things that earn money.

The whole idea of "NEETbux" is exploiting the welfare system for your own gain.

Otherwise it's more like being an overgrown child living off your parents without working to better yourself or accomplish anything.

Sounds like entitlement, some people have children to support or at least a woman. Someone took care of you when you were little.

You want to enjoy the fruits of the first world without doing your part or having a work ethic. It's not difficult to get your needs met because you never grew up and you were raised in privilege. For some people it's hard to get their needs met, and they grow up much faster.

I don't have to worry about my needs because I cover them by working, but I make much more than I actually need. That way I can actually do what I want, which is not just consuming media or going on websites. I don't hate my job either, it's rewarding and working hard actively betters my situation.

The truth is that being a man is hard work. Being a manchild is refusing to grow up and take on responsibility. That responsibility comes with the power of self-determination. A man has to do things they don't want to do sometimes, to take care of their loved ones or to accomplish their goals. How can you do anything in life if you don't have the strength and will to do difficult things?

The whole situation just sounds depressing and unnecessary. If it weren't then there would be no need to cope.

ITT BeanGain******* cannot read where OP said he funds his lifestyle via savings and cares too much

Now that I think about it, I haven't been NEET since I was 5 years old starting school. NO before that I was at day care because my parents worked.

Mind blown.

But NEET's just not for me bros, I can't sit still. It sounds fun but theres just no way, especially with a family.

Yeah bro I do care, some people need to hear these things besides OP.

Once you have exhausted your savings; then what?

John 6:29
Jesus answered, “The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”

Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. What does man gain by all the toil at which he toils under the sun? - Ecclesiastes 1:2-3

Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had spent in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun. - Ecclesiastes 2:11

There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and find enjoyment in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God; for apart from him who can eat or who can have enjoyment? - Ecclesiastes 2:24-25
I live off of savings you illiterate fukContinue education and/or start a business.

To be completely honest with you boyos, I am running out of funds srs. I have enough money for another month or so in my current situation, then I will be more or less out of cash except a little bit i have in my 401k

I will be posting links to my onlyfans, patreon, and gofundme soon
