NEETs are actually some of the only people in our society that are still sane.

Just look around you, we live in a society filled with people who have been completely consumed by greed and they think solely in terms of currency. They don't understand that you can have happiness without money. These are people who willingly sacrifice well over half their lives to a job that they most likely despise so that they can acquire all of the expensive items that they've been indoctrinated into believing that they need.

There is not a single thing in our society that this doesn't apply to. Food, clothing, housing, transportation, every single thing that people purchase is overpriced and if you did it yourself then you could accomplish the same thing at either no cost or a fraction of the cost that they're paying.

For example, I grow my own food, I either walk or use a bicycle, I've knitted my own clothing for years, and I'm currently building my home using alternative housing methods that are easily affordable and no where near the price that people pay to buy the obscenely expensive homes that they live in. I don't need a job to do these things, the few expenses that I have are fully covered by the tiny amount of money that I get from doing a few minutes of online surveys every couple days.

Just look at cob houses. You can build a home out of nothing but dirt and straw and this home is just as good as any other house yet it either costs nothing or it costs a few hundred dollars if you don't have access to free straw. Everyone else though will just happily jump into being imprisoned with mortgage debt and forced to work for the rest of their lives to keep paying off this 100k - 200k house that they bought with debt.
