Any anons ever taken a year or two off from the rat race? I’m highly debating it I’ve only been in a career job for 2 years come this October and I already want to sit out for a year:
>currently have 38k in crypto
>40k in fiat
>12k in VTI
>car paid off
My only expenses are food, rent utilities and insurances. If I have a family member who will lie and say I work for them am I cool to NEET it up for a year or two or am I being retarded here since I’ll only have 2 years experience as a professional in IT at age 28?Feel free to share experience or humble brag about your net worth.

I DON’T WANT TO WORK ANYMORE IM SICK OF IT I JUST LEFT A BOARD MEETING WHERE A WOMAN C.O.O SIGHED AND COMPLAINED AND JUST GAVE ME LIKE TWICE AS MANY RESPONSIBILITIES THAT WEREN’T PREVIOUSLY A PART OF MY JOB DESCRIPTION. My job is easy for the most part but I’d much rather sit at home meditating, working out, making art and reading books than sit in an office for 8 hours a day while only doing like 1 hours worth of work.

Are you retarded, why don't you put the rest in crypto as well?

70k in crypto right now, in the right shitcoin (QNT), is just about enough to Make It.

Do you not want to take that (strong) chance?

STOP. I’m ready to sign the NEET pledge if I have to hear about sportsball, someone’s fiancé, why I don’t have kids or a wife and how much I’m missing out, or about cleaning the gutters over the weekend of the house they just rented from Jews where they will pay 2-300k in interest I’m gonna go crazy. In the middle of typing this a practice manager just called me I had to stop this post, answer it to setup a phone inbox for a line on the phone tree and when I politely explained for them to explain it to me they started getting a shitty tone of voice and slowly said it in an annoyed way like I was retarded. I’m sick of it all lads all that for like 40k a year? I want just a year or two break to pursue my dreams before giving up on life and going full fresco.

Sounds like your job pays well. I know it's tempting to drop out but don't do it yet. Keep grinding and saving up for another couple years. I was in your position several years ago. At a job that paid great but I hated it and wanted to quit. Save up more. You'll thank yourself. Right now you're being an emotional girl

Most people without work or a something to wake up for in the morning end up being depressed and prone to substance abuse.

We as humans are wired to strive towards something. If you hate your job, you're just not working towards what you are supposed to. Quitting your job won't fix that problem.

Keep working, save up as much as you can (I would rather invest than save up in a bank) and figure out what you would rather work as/for or towards. Then when you have some sort of plan, start to gradually shift over to what you would rather be doing.

You can of course do a bandage rip-off version by quitting cold turkey, and try to figure it out that way, but keep in mind you are setting yourself up for a potentially huge pitfall that can take months/years to get back out of.

Just some piece of advice, but by all means, don't take my word for it. Take a year off and figure out for yourself.

I took a year off and it was awesome but I would wait until maybe 2021 since there typically a huge crypto bull run on the halvenings (next year). If that happens and you're in the right coins you may be able to take life off.

>I think I am being a big whiny little girl brainwashed by too many NEET threads. My job only pays like 40k a year tho which goes a decent distance in the Midwest. I made most of that money via trade work while in college and crypto. Hypothetically speaking say someone in my position has friends very well connected in the weed game in a state with medicinal and extremely relaxed laws because of decriminalization. Now say said friends offered someone the chance to make 1-3k a week for them by handing them a franchise sort of deal that allows you to still live a NEET lifestyle as they are. Yes risks are involved but it’s a chance to make 2-3x as much money as wage cucking while living the NEET lifestyle, would you consider it if you were a type that doesn’t scare easily?
>>14328877
Man it’s not even that big a deal it’s related to IT since it’s setting up accounts but it’s def additional stuff that wasn’t in my original hiring duties I can think of. I’m just sick of sitting in an office 40 hours a week Doing like 8 hours worth of actual “work” during the week.

Quit after three years with less than you currently have and and am now in the second year working for myself. Keep your FIAT as a safety stack, that way you'll know for sure how long it's sustainable.
I didn't cash out when I quit and that's caused a ton of stress, you'll also not have to fuck around with taxes with the 40k you have right now, if you cash out crypto every month you will.
Have a plan before you quit and it will be a good decision for your well-being. I don't regret it one bit, would've gone insane otherwise.

If u r not to that type of fun, go for some volunteering (looks good at cv also) which is nice, u can bang some leftist volunteers, travel a bit..the year will probably pass by extra fast and u will just party, do drugs, play vidja which is not worth whole year to pay for it.

register a company name and tell employers you set up your own company. make a biscuit trail that shows your company doing decently over a few years, maybe pay a few bloggers to write a few fake articles about it. afterwards say it was an interesting experience and you decided to sell it or abandon it with a profit since you're looking for something more stable.

because employers will be interested in it and want to know more. if you have a few articles out there you look far more impressive other than some dude potentially shitposting that he's done nothing for the past 2 years. or, tell a half truth and say you were travelling for 2 years while trading, that normally comes across decently. i would go with the former though.

for the first part of your post, just a few bullshit reviews or whatever. it all depends on what your company does. you don't even need to get it registered. i said i started up a cryptocurrency trading firm and was placed in a few crypto blogs (if you contact them they'll normally write whatever for like $20 if you have a site set up). i went back after 3 years and both interviewers went crazy over it. only problem is that if you get caught you could be blacklisted - which is why I'd recommend actually doing a part of it, and then exaggerating how successful you were.

i listed my best friend who lived with me and a friend i had in canada. they didn't contact either, but i'd briefed both of them and told them i'll give them $100 if they played along. also if the company is still trading (if you say you sold it to someone else) it's unlikely they'd contact them as they could still be active clients.

>> No.14329561

also keep in mind if you're confident enough the interviewer won't give enough of a fuck to chase up about it. they'll most likely only contact your former employer. worst case give them the number of your friend who knows what's up and tell them he's the co-founder who now runs the company.

I got a 4 year degree from a state school in info sys. Which may have helped some but I probably could have got the job without it with just certs. I interviewed at like 9 different places and filled out like 300+ applications within a 1 year period before landing my current gig which is why I’m slightly hesitant to leave.
