Why do you want to know? Not being hard on you, I'm just curious as to your motives.

M-funds

I'm a yakuza leader

I have been awarded a scholarship.

Using it all to pay for merchandise.

Autism disability checks and Forex, amirite?

I'm on SSI, the government pays for all my figs.

>>6776583
I was just curious. I'm assuming that a good percent of /jp/ doesn't have a job, so I just wanted to know where you got your funds from. 'Cause then maybe it'd spark some ideas for me, so I could know how to get funds for merchandise. c:
I wasn't asking to get anyone pissy or anything.

All I want is downloadable.

Occasionally I make a website or two and get a spare $100

>>6776606

Fair enough. I actually have a career amazingly enough. I work as a test engineer for a major networking equipment manufacturer.
I pulled in over 100k this year for the first time in my life, but if other people have much easier ways to make money without doing jack shit, more power to them. I can respect that.

>>6776654
A career, huh. I guess some of /jp/ does actually work. c:
Well, damn. I mean, that's a lot of money, but regardless, congrats to you!

I don't buy merchandise, it's all junk. I wouldn't want to spend my money on pieces of plastic and other shit, there are much better things to spend my money on.

>>6776601
Remember speaking to you a month or go about benefits for depression, anyway I got on benefits for depression now, only took 6 weeks to get it all sorted. I guess I'm lucky it was sorted so fast, I remember you saying it took you like 6 months. Getting money to just sit on my arse and take some pills, I should have done this sooner.

>>6776815
I'm glad I could help you out. Everyone just needs to find their inner disability.

>>6776815
>>6776832

Kind of a rude question I know, but how much do you guys get?

I work as a web developer for a marketing company. Car is paid off, no girlfriend/wife, and I don't go out much so I have a ton of disposable income.

bump

>>6778533

I see your bump, and I raise you an age.

>>6776570

You know...every time I see figures all trapped in their boxes like this, I get sad. Screw that NRFB shit.

>>6776815
>>6776832
I get mad as fuck when the government funds autistic people instead of killing them off. Goddamnit, sometimes I feel like getting into politics just so I can cut this whole welfare bullshit off.

>>6778569
Yeah, and I want to be the president when I grow up.

Your tax dollars hard at work.

>>6778569
>I get mad as fuck that I have to work a shitty job that I hate

>>6776570

People who buy figures and othe stuff have parents with money or have a job, the number of people who buy merchandise is very small.

My parents didn't mind giving me money to buy figures and other stuff but thanks to the economic crisis we got a HUGE debt and now they only work to pay the bills, i even had to drop out of college because of that, so i'm a NEET now, i don't get a job because my possible salary would be too small to help my parents or buy something i like.

We were lucky enough to be born into rich familys. Everyone else who has shit tier familys complain and bitch about how we get the easy life. I just sit back and laugh well you all work your fucking asses off. Problem poorfags?

>>6778585
Fuck off, I love my job. I can browse 4chan, my coworkers are all nice people and it's exactly what I enjoy doing.
I still think it's wrong to sustain people just because they fake some bullshit like "chronic depression". I mean, what the fuck, grow a pair and go work you piece of shit. I don't care if you are a NEET, for two years I was one myself, but leeching off from tax money is just too fucking awful. Guess you really do have to be an autist to do that with a clean conscience.

>>6778593

Awww di dims. All I got from that post "I JELLY, I MAD WAAAHHHHHH.

I leech off my parents, and when they die I get all their inheritance. Problem?

>>6778593

I'm not American but i think you guys really have to fix that, i heard that a lot of Americans who really need help (people with serious illness, homeless people, etc)  don't get any help from the goverment, how can people like Sudo and the other guy get money just for being a bunch of emos?

>>6778593
Obviously you're incredibly jealous, why the fuck else would you get upset at other people for living their lives differently? Because you hate yours and you want everyone to suffer as much as you do.

>>6778623

I think he is just upset about the fact that the goverment is taking HIS money and giving it to retards like Sudo. I repeat 'HIS MONEY'.

>>6778593

Go complain to the government about you fucking asspained faggot. It's the system set in place, deal with it.

>>6778594
>>6778612
>>6778634

Samefag.

>>6778593

While I agree that it's frustrating to have to pay for other people's welfare (see fed tax line on pay stub), it's also not quite fair to simply tell everyone to grow a pair and go to work. Some people are really legitimately sick, terrified to leave the house, unable to interact with others, etc. Are you seriously saying it would be better for these people to die? That's really horrible.

>>6778612
Nope, not a single one. I did the same thing for a long ass time, until I decided to do something for an extra income and buy more expensive stuff. Leeching off your parents isn't much of a problem because they are doing this on their free will out of love(?) for you. If they want you to go on without doing anything for yourself, well, their own call.

But faking some mental illness ust so you can steal the money from the hardworking people? That's fucking absurd.

>>6778621
I fucking know right? I hear about people getting into deep shit because they couldn't get money support for ACTUAL, REAL diseases. And now a bunch of whiny retards find a way to rob the country from the people's money. As I said before, you realy must be a autist to be able to pull that off without having some guilt.

>>6778623
No you faggot, I have no problems with people who are NEETs. In fact one of the reasons I'm working right now just so I can get some funds and go back to being a NEET again for a few more years, it's pretty much the best life in store for us.
Anyway, see >>6778627.

>>6778634
I'm sorry, I have a hard time dealing with this kind of bullshit while real people suffer from real problems other than lazyness.

>>6778645
Are you fucking kidding me? Are you really telling that to me?

Just so you know, I went without going outside my house for almost 6 months. Without leaving AT ALL, not even to take the trash outside. Just being in crowded places already made my throat swell up. I remember this time when I was asked to go outside buy some toilet paper on a nearby convenience store, and I just flat out started to cry out of fucking nowhere, not even I knew why I was crying. After those kind of events happened, I would sleep for days, sometimes 3-4 without doing anything else except crying myself back into sleeping. I blocked all my old friends from MSN because I was ashamed of myself and scared of them seeing me like that.

Is that "legitimately sick" enough for you? Even so, I still took the chance and started working.

I cried my eyes off every time I got home. Every lunch break, I would just go to an empty bathroom stall and cry and cry and cry until it was over. The first month was hell for me, I felt so depressed that I wanted to die for real the first time in my life. Actually I have to thank /jp/ for talking me into keeping that job, I think some of you might remember my thread.
But you see, even after all that, I still managed it. It was a lot of suffering at first, but after I realized that working could be enjoyable, everything became better and I learned how to deal with those problems.

So please don't give me this "legitimately sick" talk. Even though I wouldn't really approve of them being killed off as I said, at least insert them into a rehab program or something, for fucks sake. Even people who can't interact with other humans can be of use to society if they use a computer.

>>6778646

well, in their defense, unless they're lying about their depression they aren't stealing anything, they're being given money for no good reason. If I stubbed my toe and the government told me I could fill out a form and get money for it, i'd do it in a second.

>>6778645

Only people who are literally mentally crippled should receive that kind of help, people like Sudo are just a lazy faggots.

>>6778674

Well, fair point. You were strong enough to deal with it without intervention. I can't say I'm convinced that everyone can pull off the same transformation though.

>>6778678

>Depression.

How can these morons have depression? their moms still wash their clothes, make their food and provide them with all commodities of the modern world, what kind of traumas can these morons have?

Do you think that someone from a third world country sits on his ass all day just because he had some problems? of course not even if they feel like shit they have to work to survive, they don't bitch and moan about all the shit that has happened to them.

If you honestly believe the welfare system is in need of attention, then do something about it. Call up your governor, look for like minded people online or in your area, protest, let people know what you think and why. If your response is, "there's no point, I can't change anything, it would be a waste of time to try", then you're no different than the people you're mad about. Those people genuinely believe that there's nothing they can do about it, and are just trying to survive as they can.
Can they actually do something about it? That's something only they can know. Is the welfare system in need of reform? That's something that people can discuss and make decisions about. Is /jp/ the right place to do that? nope.avi

>>6778694
Stupidest argument ever, doesn't even deserve a rebuttal.

>>6778694
I thought we've been trough this often enough by now.
Being a whiny emofag =/= suffering from depression.
Clinical depression is a real mental illness.
Causes: Bad stuff happening to you or NO APPARENT CAUSE AT ALL.

>>6778714
>Clinical depression is a real mental illness.

>>6778705

"Hurrrr depression is a neurochemical problem hurr durr, u dun understand ar darkness HUUUUUUUUURR."

You are just an emo kid, grow up, just for your information retard, one of my relatives really suffers from chronic depression and that person has a job, yes that person feels like shit  for no reason but still works and is very sucessful.

Normal fag here, I have a job.

>>6778699
But what about people who're like Sudo? They're not surviving, rather they're living the life by using the tax payer's money to buy things they want.

>>6778694
if it makes you feel better i dropped out of harvard maths before they'd give me ssi

it's not like I wanted to be depressed or lose that cozy academia tenure, but to blame someone for depression is a pretty shit-tier, failure-as-a-human-being thing to do.

Also my parents bought me this Moon over Arakawa River woodblock print, it's /jp/ as fuck!

>>6778730

Why do you say you're a normalfag? Having a job doesn't make one a normalfag.... trust me.

>>6778731
You're really trying hard, I'll give that much. I ain't even mad though.

>>6778734
Exactly. Did you see Chris-chan? All those furfag shit he has in his room? The PS3 he smashed to bits? All those stuff was bought using the money from people who work their asses off.

>>6778735

I have a job, a car, in a relationship, no mental problems, can afford myself, I attend a Institute, I get out of the house quite often, and I live with my parents.

>>6778748

Nice to see you are a moron who can't even think of a good response... .

I was not trying to make you mad, you fucking mongoloid.

>>6778748
Honestly it looks like the one who's trying too hard here is you.

>>6778757
Yes you were.
You still are.

>>6778757
Oh, so you're not trolling, you're just retarded.

Can't be helped, then. Carry on.

>>6778734
I don't know his situation but even if he is selfishly using tax money to do whatever he wants, there are so many other things that tax money goes to that pisses me off that if I took the time to get mad at all of them I would never be able to take it easy.
You also have to remember that we're never going to have a perfect system for anything, so in some cases you have to take the good with the bad. In our court system we say that it's preferable for ten guilty men to go free than to send one innocent man to jail.

>>6778764

I'd love to see you using your little mongoloid brain and explain what part of my comments was wrong.

I know you are not going to do it, you are probably going to respond with something like "Umad".

Go ahead, show everyone how retarded i am, i can't wait to see your well formulated arguments...

I work a job and all and really see no problem with people exploiting the system. The big breakdown can't come soon enough.

OP,

>Find a subject you like
>Become a teacher
>Get a position at a school where you have a 60-80k salary, REALLY not THAT hard, you just gotta have really good credentials, start off at community and state colleges
>Get a loan, buy the house, marry someone who you not only love, but can either tend to the house OR do a small time job that can bring in an extra 2-3k a month (Or every 2 weeks, w/e)
>Achieve Happiness

To take it easy is the noblest of all human aspirations.

>>6778777
Against my better judgement I'm going to explain precisely why you are retarded.

>How can these morons have depression? their moms still wash their clothes, make their food and provide them with all commodities of the modern world, what kind of traumas can these morons have?
Depression is not necessarily caused by trauma. As an example, every year many dozens of Asian students who actually are performing perfectly well in school and come from families with sufficient amounts of money commit suicide due to examination stress. The other day I read on the news that one of Madoff's sons - rich as fucking hell - killed himself, when he could have moved to a cabin in Canada to live out the rest of his days in ease. Proclaiming that people who do not come from objectively shitty situations cannot be depressed is patently idiotic.

>Do you think that someone from a third world country sits on his ass all day just because he had some problems? of course not even if they feel like shit they have to work to survive, they don't bitch and moan about all the shit that has happened to them.
Obviously a lot of depressed people still manage to hold down jobs, but that doesn't mean that all depressed people are able to. We have an anon here who crushed his own legs at a truck stop because he couldn't figure out how to get money . Medieval peasants who simply were not able to work would sometimes self-amputate in order to be able to beg for alms. Some people hack it. Some people don't.

>>6778785
By not able to work, I mean, mentally unable to cope with the stress of being a peasant.

>>6778756

OK, by /jp/ standards, you are a normalfag.
I already posted that I make quite a bit, and I also have a house, sports car, etc... However I am pretty proud to be a total shut-in, VN, Touhou, 2D fapper. I really don't have any interest in doing anything else.

>>6778785

This is a really bad example, suicide is not always connected to DEPRESSION, sometimes it's caused by stress just like you said, those students were under a lot of stress and couldn't take it anymore, someone who is under a lot of stress is not necesarily depressed.

How do you know that kid didn't have a shitty life? maybe he was rich as fuck but probably had social traumas, romantic traumas, etc, we don't know, it's a nother shitty example.

And people who take such extreme measures obviously have more severe mental problems than just depression.
Having just depression is not an excuse to receive money from the goverment.

Nice try retard.

I am in a weird position here. I have a job, but I would need government assistance in order to live on my own. Yeah, no friends so roommates aren't really an option.

I wish I could do that since it would piss everyone off here lol. I don't know how to go about doing it. I am not too bright. I do have a vision disability, bad enough where I can't ever drive, but I am not legally blind, so I would most likely be told to go fuck off.
I feel trapped ;_;

>>6778855
See, your case is one of the ones I can understand. You are at least TRYING. You don't get everything fed to yourself, but since you can't get enough for you to survive, the government supports you so you can continue to support society.

It's a fair trade, way way different from what the autists here in /jp/ are doing.

>>6778856

If you're going to use the "we don't know very much about Madoff Jr." card to dismiss his example, well, you know even less about any given arbitrary /jp/er's life so arguably you should be even less able to make blanket statements about them.

>And people who take such extreme measures obviously have more severe mental problems than just depression. Having just depression is not an excuse to receive money from the goverment.
Good thing the government doesn't give money to everybody who has depression.

>Nice try retard.
I knew you were too dumb to hold a reasonable conversation with before I started, but like I said, I was defying my better judgment.

Any leech fags feel guilty reading this thread? Fucking reported.

>>6778780
Once I get my funds in order to /afford/ university/college, i`ll go for it. Your plan is foolproof. <3

The ignorance of normals never ceases to amaze.

>>6778776
Me too. I exploited the system for 8 years until my friend offered me a job because he needed a hand.

People exploiting the system is actually a sign the system is self-destructive.

I was diagnosed with insanity and Asperger's, so I get disability checks. It isn't easy being insane.

>>6779157
Yeah man, I bet sitting on your fat ass all day long brings so much suffering. ;_;

>>6778694

I don't even know where to begin to explain how you don't know what the fuck you're talking about

Get out fucking normalfags, you are not welcome here
Why do you insist in butting into a world you know everyone hates you?

>>6779173

Yes i know some kids get sad because mom didn't buy them a new Xbox game, i was just trying to say that these fucking mongoloids have not experienced real HARDCORE depression in their entire easy and confortable lives.

>>6779184

ME TOO I'M SOOOOO FUCKING MAD ABOUT THIS FUCKING NORMALFAGS, I'M FUCKING GOING TO EXPLODE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH

>>6779186
I know right? I mean, they got rejected on highschool by Whore McSlut! What a horrible experience! And then guess what, some dude from the football team called him "fatass"! Such a trauma obviously mean that they cannot go on with life without working, AT ALL. Someone get your dollars ready because we have to feed those people.

>>6779186
>>6779196
>>6779198
Just fuck off already.

Samefags, normals, ignorance everywhere. Also, communists who don't believe in mental illness and only value what people produce.

You have invested your time and effort into a broken, nihilistic system. Enjoy your shitty normal lives.

I'm not a NEET anymore. I couldn't hack being broke so I sucked it up and went back to school. Grants and student loans are pretty generous if you meet certain criteria. I also have a business but I don't really make anything with it. Occasionally a little here or there but nothing spectacular.

normals are just mad I'm here now in my bed eating some snacks and playing games while they have to work, hate all you want faggots

>>6779184
Because they're trying to "troll" and get strong reactions out of people. But they have no talent for it, so they choose really basic, generic, tried-and-true trolling techniques, such as what is seen here
>>6779196
>>6778731

I'm not really sure why they do this, maybe they are just underaged and/or new to 4chan and they think these posts haven't been done many many times before; that they will actually upset somebody. It's pretty dull really, a tired routine.

>>6779242

Yes kid, we are newfags from /b/ who just come here to piss you off, that's how pathetic we are, ok?

Keep living in your little fantasy world.

>>6779242

Nobody here is trying to troll, you fucking mongoloid.

If you're a NEET, and you're not bettering yourself by learning a skill(drawing, programming, etc.), getting into shape, and/or educating yourself, then you're honestly just wasting time and money. Killing yourself right now would be no different than waiting 40 years to.

>>6779256
I hope you know that railing against these people stealing your tax money is more likely to make them laugh than anything else.
