Being a neet is such a wonderful thing. Like a dream. And when you wake up it feels like that. A dream I mean. All that time just gone. poof. Houdini'd out like that.

My memory from NEET days is that you can live with very little as long as you have money for two things

>electricity
>rent

On everything else you can cut so much its unreal. Naturally I should include 3rd must have above which is food, but you can starve yourself instead of cutting computer usage so its only a necessary to stay alive, not to ''enjoy'' your NEETdom.

If you live in Finland for example you can easily live with 1000-1200€ that you get from government each month and cut expenses to save enough to visit Japan once a year.

>I'll never be able to afford a house with NEETbux
This way me when I was a NEET between 15 and late 20s. I started to wage slave a bit when I entered my 30s. By 35 I'd earned enough trust that my Grandfather left me about 200k to build a house with. Spent 90k on building a house on the land he gave me. Went back to being a NEET and I'm still living off savings (5 months now with over 100k left in bank).

There is hope friend. You could try spending $1 a month on the lottery. Maybe you'll hit the big pot and become NEET forever. As for me I can't go back to wageslaving. It took everything in me not to assault my co-workers on a daily basis. I'm going to claim brain damage and see about getting on the Government's dole. Used to be a /pol/ack that didn't want to be a welfare nigger. Now I see no point in all of that. I'm hopping on the gravy train too and nothing can stop me. If they deny me for being white with a penis I'll just claim I'm a cute girl on the inside. All I have to do is start wearing the clothes I wear in private in public. After they see my hairy legs in those pink skirts there is no way they'll be able to claim I'm not a cute girl. I bet they give me all the HRT I can eat and $1k USD a month. I'll make a killing selling the HRT to some faggot on the internet.

Some tips on how I survived being NEET before I got all the money from my Grandfather;
>Start hanging around degenerates that use drugs like LSD and mushrooms. Once you earn their trust you can make a killing driving them around and delivering things for them
>for about $200 you can set-up mushroom growing in your closet. Every ounce you produce is an easy $100-$200 USD
>Do IT support for other people. Boomers have no concept of what it takes to work on computers and will give you $100+ just for setting up some bookmarks for them
>find systems to exploit on the internet and install bitcoin miners on them. Not sure if this is still possible. Can probably still mine shitcoins this way
>make friends with old people in your community. They will feed you everyday and give you money for easy work like picking up sticks in their yards
>Go to doctor for minor injury, get opioids because you're not a known abuser of them, sell them to addicts for $10 a pill. Easy $300-$500 a month while it lasts
>Find retards that don't know how the internet works and sell them anime, movies, TV shows, and mp3s on disc. Used to make a lot of money doing this but it stopped being profitable when streaming became common place. Depending on your area you might be able to still do it
>buy 3D printer with NEETbux and sell knock-offs of anime figures to people. Been bringing me good money.
>if you know anyone into guns the above works for that too just don't get caught by the glow niggers
If you aren't a fat stinky slob you can make good money off working women. Throw them the D. Will get a free place to stay, food, and all the sloppy sex you want until she gets pissed off about your lack of money. I survived like that for a couple of years.

Some words for aspiring NEETs. You will eventually become depressed. This seems impossible when you first break free of the wageslave lifestyle but it's true. I know why 99% of people get depressed after being a NEET for so long.

Basically, you WILL run out of new media to consume. It seems impossible when you first start because there are millions of video games to play and things you haven't heard/watched. After a few months you will come to realize that all music, vidya, and media is the same. You will start to see the patterns in these things and be able to predict where the story goes. You will see the flaws in everyone and discover how shallow consuming media as a lifestyle really is.

It's at that point many go back to wageslaving hoping to find some excitement via their money. You quickly realize this will not work because there is nothing interesting to spend your money on. Even if there was you wouldn't have any time to enjoy it. Going back to wageslaving is the wrong move and why so many people become anhero after spending time as a NEET.

No, the answer isn't in the system. The answer is finding a purpose in life that doesn't involve wage slaving or being a mindless consumer. These things are called hobbies and people used to spend a lot of time doing them before the internet came into our lives. You must go out and find a purpose. Maybe it's gardening, or hunting animals, or long distance hiking, or participation in some type of sport or activity. It can be something done solo or with a group. The point is you have to find something that brings you joy.

Sadly, normalfags have managed to shit up even these type of things. Do not be surprised if you're 10 miles from the nearest trail head and run into some faggot live streaming their hike to 20 retards on youtube. There is no escaping them now. Until a NEET army rises up the only thing you can do is ignore them.

I might be stretching the 1000€ lasts well for a month since Finland IS expensive country, but assuming you don't get any surprise payments like doctor visits and such you'll live comfortably with that amount in a small studio apartment and accumulate nice savings if you're a true miser.

Naturally if your plan is to move to the country to enjoy NEETbux be prepared for immigration to decline your visa application.

It's a tax for having low IQ and you're not going to win. Ever. If you instead start saving up with an investment savings account you might actually end up with something.

I keep hearing how despite unemployment rares it's so much easier to get a job with how desperate some places are, but I think they must live in some fantasy world. Why pay employees when you barely have money for the building rent? What about CDC protocols? Is it worth hiring someone who may or may not be lying about their health just to keep their business afloat?
I already struggled with wanting a job but being rejected multiple times due to no history of employment and being disabled and this shit is just extra icing on the cake.
Being NEET is the future, I guess.

What a based man.
He would have felt at home on 4chan.

>He criticized Plato, disputed his interpretation of Socrates, and sabotaged his lectures, sometimes distracting listeners by bringing food and eating during the discussions. Diogenes was also noted for having mocked Alexander the Great, both in public and to his face when he visited Corinth in 336 BC.

>Diogenes is said to have eaten in the marketplace,[47] urinated on some people who insulted him,[48] defecated in the theatre,[49] and masturbated in public. When asked about his eating in public he said, "If taking breakfast is nothing out of place, then it is nothing out of place in the marketplace. But taking breakfast is nothing out of place, therefore it is nothing out of place to take breakfast in the marketplace." [50] On the indecency of his masturbating in public he would say, "If only it were as easy to banish hunger by rubbing my belly."

>Do you think it's just a matter of adjustment?
It might be. If there's a schedule I want, I usually stay up for a day so I actually feel tired when I go to bed. The hours fall in place in the days following.
Pulling off all nighters was always easy for me. Although, I only recall one instance where I passed out rather than shut my eyes and fell asleep "by accident".

>Do you sleep at the same time every night?
Sometimes. The hours slept are the same.
One of the main reasons why I always went to sleep late is because I knew that going to sleep early meant I'd be awake by 3 or 4 when I had nothing to do around then since everything opened after sunrise and well into the morning rush.

>Exercise and diet? This has been killing me for ages.
I eat normally, so there's nothing special going on.
There's no specific time period, but it was mainly stuff like chicken, rice, and whatever I wanted to do with potatoes- think loaded baked potatoes- before last year. I never ate heavy foods, but I maintained a consistent weight for a while.

Exercise is really just strength training and small bouts of cardio for resting days. Anything works so long as you work on flexibility, proper form, and stamina.

It might be just me having an excess of energy so that could be it in addition to a few things. It doesn't make much sense now that I look back on it.

I had the same experience. Trying to be a normalfag was one of the worst times of my life emotionally/mentally. I actually made more friends and felt more fulfilled in my life by accepting that I'm a weird autist.

Sorry, generally open hardware projects. I'm working on EE and thinking about taking some compE classes. Right now I'm mostly working on layout and simulation, just to understand how project flow works. I'm going to order PCBs for a simple USB HID keyboard soon, then I want to a a more complex HID device and work on PCB layout for higher speed data transmission. I've messed around with some programming, but I'm more interested in the low level stuff. Thanks for offering though, I appreciate it.

That one anon who talked about hobbies was completely right. NEET life will depress and destroy your life in a long run and wageslaving in a unfulfilling job with nothing else to do besides mindless consuming will suck your soul into an empty husk. Now that I learned how to draw and speak Japanese I can make dreams a reality (in digital form) from which hopefully many can attain enjoyment through masturbating to drawings. Not having an ability to create something new really started to bother me in my early 20s and now that ability brings joy to my life.

Thanks to employment (and education) I could afford to buy +100 manga volumes and +100 doujinshi plus ~40 albums of music last year through proxy services. It's expensive but since I live frugally beyond that I also have good savings so once COVID ends I'll visit Comiket every year at least once and never suffer from financial stress. It does beat NEETdom, which I have a short history off, during which despite its short length I started to suffer from the classic problems that come with the NEET lifestyle like running out of entertainment to consume, not being able to eat good food and the slowly creeping inescapable feeling of hopelessness of your own future. NEET life is alluring when you have responsibilities yet its a false promise of an easy life.

I'd disagree. I've picked up a bunch of hobbies during my decade as a NEET, and the vast majority have been fleeting. I've tried to learn an instrument half a dozen times, tried learning to draw just as many, and it never sticks because I don't find the act enjoyable and it takes up too much time. Other hobbies see an initial investment of money, which quickly results in just becoming another piece of junk I have lying around for a rainy day.

I didn't have any trouble learning Japanese during this period, but I've never considered it a hobby in itself, more just a gateway to more consumption. Hobbies, ultimately, feel like just a way to waste your money on some shit you've convinced yourself you need for whatever reason. Half the time, I start thinking the reason I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought is because I didn't invest ENOUGH money to get the better version of the thing, but it's just thoughtless consumerism.

Does owning a shelf full of data that could easily fit on a hard drive if someone scanned it really make you happy? Or is it just you trying to fill a void by spending money, because you have to justify your income?

As an aside, I'm generally pretty happy day to day. I make the odd dumb purchase that hurts, but I eat well and never feel hopeless. It might all end one day, but I think I can stretch it out to a good life with a bit of luck.

Because I read every single one of those books and both enjoy it and strengthen my Japanese language skills, I have no regrets about it except when I blind buy an interesting looking work (which can't be found on internet) and it ends up being a let down. There are a lot of works that can't be found on internet in digital form and which are not translated so this way I can enjoy those too.

the point is that a lot of those "truNEETs" were young and had all the chances in the world to stumble into to becoming normal or were eventually forced out of NEEThood out of necessity and assimilated. Being a truNEET back in the day doesn't necessarily mean you're damaged and unable to relate to normies. It was a meme that some people had the luxury to take seriously.

Do most NEETs feel extreme pressure to work? I got yelled at by my dad every day for the 7 months that I was NEET before he finally threatened to take legal ownership of me by claiming I was mentally ill so he could force me to take drugs because he knew that was my worst nightmare. And that's the only reason I'm on a path to career success now.

After about a year and a few months in the NEET life I've participated in a contest, gone to a concert, spent three months in a village writing, earned a C2 proficiency certificate and learnt to play an instrument. Also got good enough on Japanese that I can read simple books. I've started looking up interesting info on the Internet and achieved the best mental state and concentración skills in all my life up to now. Every night I can lose myself in the endless, fascinating abyss that is the Internet. I feel so fucking lucky.
It comes with a few letdowns. But whatever happens, I'm pretty sure I've found a superior lifestyle, given you have self-control, and I want a job that at least I can do on my own, at home, with no coworkers at all.
Everyday I wake up wishing for my country's government to become even more of a dictatorship to let me a few months more before I have to leave these blissful state again. NEET life truly is a bless.

As someone who was a technical NEET(Went to school for years but never really worked or had things to do) until i was 26 and i kind of gave up on my bachelors in college. Worked a few years and kind of have been on and off jobs. Because while living a NEET life is fun but there is a point in which you need balance, otherwise you just sleep, you also lose willpower and you kind of become more introverted to where your skills become that of a robot autist.

What is odd is my parents know i have a disability and basically have not expected much from me other than to be able to either work or get a girlfriend and have children. Over time my dad did kind of tell me to begin working part time, or even take odd jobs such as babysitting pets or whatever. I think parents such as yours are not laid back and have issues of being able to empathize or understand you might be a hermit or an introvert not because you desire to do so.

/jp/, I need some advice on cutting expenses and even allocating money into fixed income investments. What can you suggest me?

I've Dollar-Cost Averaged into dividend paying stocks for fixed income. Cut my internet/phone/insurance bill to a bare minimum. Rented out every room in my family home possible. Shower once a week. Use a laptop and smartphone instead of my desktop. Eat rice and beans, drink tea instead of ordering out. Intermittent Fasting to avoid eating 3 meals a day. Buy pre-owned goods from thrift stores and electronics from scrapyards.

- Instead of having internet/phone/insurance, just mooch off your tenants. Paying insurance implies someone needs the payout.
- Shower at truck stops and save rainwater (boil it after to quickly pasteurize).
- Instead of eating rice and beans, cut back on the beans to maximize the calorie per dollar ratio. The needles of eastern white cedar can be boiled to make a vitamin C packed tea to avoid scurvy.
- instead of intermittent fasting, consider chronic fasting
- pre-owned goods doesn’t mean they have to be paid for with money.

>>33127492 here

I think it's about 10 years to the day since I gained the courage to go back to high school and officially drop out and spend all my time on /jp/. Maybe 3,700 days and all of them the same. This hikkikomori problem started in 2008. Wasted a whole school year in my room pretending to be homeschooled. A very stupid existence. If only I had been able to gain the courage to speak to people anywhere else. I want to become normal and have friends and get married and have kids but I guess this wont ever happen. Had this typed up for two days before posting. I still get anxious posting anything personal unless I am very drunk. Trying to stop binge drinking and smoking. At least my hikki problem is as bad as it used to be. To the other long term cases here, how are you doing? Have you experienced other severe issues that didn't seem related but you probably think they are?

I haven't noticed any issues from a decade of isolation, I think my speaking has gotten a little worse, but I wasn't amazing at it to begin with and I figure a few months of human contact would fix it up.

It probably has.
I remember back in middle-high school that I would go full NEET and not leave my room from the time school ended to the time it started again. It wasn't until high school that I noticed my speech was worse each time.
NEETdom is nice and all, but it fucks up the better parts of yourself. It's even worse when you're good at it too, because it degrades over time simply because you never bothered to use it.

It's just a matter of perspective.
I have been a wage slave for 10 years and don't have any friends or social life too.
It doesn't matter what you do, you will always be different than the majority.
But this also gives you a lot of opportunities. You have to stop trying to be normal and accept what makes you different because that's what makes you special in this world.

I don't know what happened in your life, but there is a way to improve your life.
Stop comparing yourself to others and only compare yourself to who you were yesterday. If you do this and try to do something to improve and be a better person each day the compounded result in a year will be something you never imagined to be possible.

If the past is holding you back, then it means that your subconscious wants you to solve a past issue to use it as a reference for your future behavior. You have to imagine the past events you can't forget again, but this time use your creativity to change the situation a bit to how you wish you reacted or it happened to make it a happy memory. Imagine the situation with your improved solution until you feel a strong emotion and energy being liberated from your brain. Do this with all your past events you can't forget and you will become happier and change your perspective on your life. Your past events define your future actions. However you are free to change your memories of your past to become the best version of yourself. All that matters is that you chose to become happy and not let the past decide who you are. The world and your subconscious doesn't care what about what happened in your past. All they want is for you to learn a lesson and to improve yourself. That's why you are constantly reminded of your past and can't forget those events, because you have to you solve them.
The world is a mirror to your mindset. If you change your mindset, you can change your world.

If you have issues related to not receiving unconditional love from your parents, I also suggest you to read Toxic parents by Susan Forward.
Nobody in the world can give you unconditional love, with the exception of you yourself.
That's why people who try to obtain love from outside sources always fail, because they have to realize they don't need it.
They don't need it because they always had this inside of them. You can give yourself unconditional love and become your own parent.
Do this and you will stop caring what others think and finally be able to do what you were meant to do without fear of being judged by others.

I am a NEET mostly because I have some mental problems, and my family pays my bills and my cousin makes sure I have some food for everyday.
10 years ago I worked as a sysadmin, I tried 2 years to get another job and nobody called me, so I became a NEET that takes antidepressants and mild opioids.
I like to read books, I'm learning Godot because I use Linux, and I have tons of games on Steam, most gifted from friends from USA and Canada.
I have clinical depression so living it's not important and I very melancholic about the past and play many retro games.

Because i use to be on SSRI's for years, even had a run on Xanax and a few other pills until i realized that i have to live with what i have and just enjoy my life no matter what. Until Marijuana legalization happened in my state recently. It has helped so much with my anxiety and has helped me lead at least a more comfy existence.

This maybe true to some extent. But most boomers cannot retire at all because they haven't saved enough for one in the first place. Either they've spent most of their income during their prime working years, or have their savings/retirement eaten away by inflation, taxes and fund manager fees. This does cause other problems since those same jobs held by boomers aren't being 'passed down' to those younger. It makes you wonder why there are so many neets because of this.

Nothing really since thoughts just interfere with falling asleep. Sometimes I put on album at low volume at focus on it until I'm out.

That is 30% of the Boomer society but it is a lot of them considering their size. I did read in the recent news how they are now competing with younger generations for minimum wage jobs. I think it's a combination of not saving, keeping it in a bank rather than a 401k or a small index fund, and also the expectation that Social Security will be around when they retire when in all honesty i do not think many know of the debt situation and there is not much to take care of them overall.

I was a NEET for 5 years and when I started working 2 years ago the most crazy thing was how my time perception changed. I liked going back to my old NEET during the covid lockdown, but there is something about working and the dopamine shot that you get when It's time to go home after a shitty day at work that you can't find elsewhere. Also the money, doing a little bit of exercise, talking with people about useless shit, I don't dislike working and if one day I start disliking it, hey, I live in France so I can pretty much go back into the NEET lifestyle anytime I want.
I get why people are NEET, I had fun being one for 5 years, so have fun doing your thing and not giving a shit while you can. Personally I was never depressed, or shit like that, I was just lazy and one day I got bored and had the opportunity to work a shitty factory job and took it

Any NEETs make a living from drawing? As a new NEET who only has enough savings for one year of bare minimum existence I could use some advice. I need some source of income so I don't have to work at walmart or a gas station. I was thinking
>drawing (lewd stuff seems to sell?)
>print-on-demand businesses
>part-time job(working three days a week sounds a hell of a lot better than 5 days)
>donating plasma (easy $80 a week but if they hit a nerve good fucking luck)
>some craigslist/gig work? but covid makes this hard...
>something with Japanese like translating stuff with a patreon

Pixiv has a requests feature that you can use to set up commissions.
I know it sells a lot more than normal artwork but I'd do NSFW art as a last resort because you WILL get people begging for diaper giantess scat futa pictures, unless that's your thing I wouldn't bother. Horny commissioners are from the depths of hell.
Also if you have things lying around or are able to find things for really cheap you can try flipping.

What time do you NEETs wake up? I struggle to feel productive when I wake up at 11 am but if I get up at 7 I feel refreshed and ready to do anything. Unfortunately I rarely sleep well enough to wake up at the right time, but when I do it feels great.

I go around in a cycle every month or so. I'll start with normal time of 12am - 9am, then one day i'll stay up too late and wake up in the afternoon. Then it spirals out of control until im waking up in the evening and going to bed in the daytime. Then I just push myself to stay awake all day and fall asleep at a proper time to reset my schedule back to normal again. I'll maintain normal time for about a week or so before I fuck it up again and on the cycle goes. Been like this for a year now and it sucks, I should probably look into sleeping pills.

try applying for food stamps, that'll help you stretch out your savings as the government pays for your food

usually you need to show some proof of employment though, so work for a month somewhere and send it it, can be parttime like only 20 hours a week
you should get it for half a year to a year

I got approved for around $200 a month

This is similar to me. My main issue is when I fall asleep early I wake up after 4 hours every time, then I feel tired around noon each day. I wonder if trying melatonin again would help. I used to use ZzzQuil but it worked for about 4 days until I was back to restlessness.

I hate being so useless. I hate being a burden. I hate that I have never done a good thing in my life. I wish I could commit goodness to the world and help alleviate the pain and suffering of others. All I feel is constant shame and it was shame that lead me to becoming hikkikomori. I need to redeem myself and become an honourable person.

It was a problem well before anyone on this board was born. The idea that someone could work throughout their entire lifetime and be taken care of by a state pension is unsustainable in the first place. The idea of forcing young people to grind themselves to pay for another senior’s retirement was a recipe for disaster in itself. When you look more into this issue. You begin to wonder why so many young people in Japan and the West drop out of life or be forced into part-time, low paying jobs.
Of course, there are plenty of people here on jp who are already well-off by not participating into this scheme in the first place.

Personal Finance is the most important skill for a neet.

You're not wrong. I do agree with you about them not saving at all and not allocating their money into index funds. But they are promised the idea of a guaranteed income at retirement. But the biggest problem is that there are too many aging boomers, and not enough young people to pay for it! All of this in the next 10 years is going to be even uglier and horrifying once more of them realized they are either forced to sell or continue working. It might end up in a situation where you have homeless elderly like the South Koreans working hand to mouth or Retirees in NA taking Reverse Mortgages; destroying their wealth in the process to pay for their dwindling lifestyle. Its not a good situation to be in right now the more I look into it. All you can really do is focus on yourself and being self-sufficient.

It is compounded a lot here. But allow me to greentext it.
>Be Baby Boomers in America
>Inherit a shit load of money that your parents who lived in the depression and two world wars gave to you earning 75% of the wealth.
>Blow it by paying for useless garbage
>Give Feminists power(aka females who want more rights than men) more rights than men in every sector including Divorce.
>Thus drives the divorce rate up
>Thus lowers the reproduction rate
>Debt goes up
>Oh shit not enough people being born to pay for pensions, retirements in social security
>Suddenly we need immigration from 3rd world because i gosh darned earned my retirement by working and destroying the future of my children and future generations by hoarding it and then spending it wastefully
>Oh shit you mean that social security may not be around in ten years if even less due to congress spending a ton of money on useless things without having a budget or realistic expectations?
>Well i guess i have to work now because there is not many of the younger generations in the workforce and we did not save thinking it would be around when we retired.
Boomers are the absolute anomalies of their own generation never questioning anything and never thinking it's unsustainable.

Absolutely. On my end i intend to at least work part time for at least 15 years! We have to hope a lot of Boomers at least kick the can and hold on for awhile longer. All of our generations will need to work together to get this country back on track.

Feels like I'm in a loop for 4 years now. Going through a constant swing of "igmi/ngmi". Don't want to be a normalfag but I feel like I should be able to pick up some kind of skill to benefit of off if I'm free all the time like this. I atleast want to make enough money so my mother can retire.
Beside that, I don't think I have any other severe issues.

Do you know what mamahuana is? It is this herbal drink that completely fucks up your ability to walk. It's what I go to when everything else is out. You can't walk straight or form complete sentences but it works. Always drunk as often as I can be. Because I am a piece of shit.

It is definitely an interesting time period we find ourselves born into. Not sure exactly where it is all headed. What will happen when the normals are unable to adapt to the new prescribed normal. Normals require constant social interaction and the digital replacement that is being implemented just won't cut it for most of them. What happens when they increasingly find themselves out of a job? Many normals define themselves by the occupation they hold. Will they feel that their lives have meaning without it? I get the feeling the normals will become more and more dissatisfied and this dissatisfaction will be taken advantage of in the near future to herd them towards a predesignated great change. I like your picture, by the way.

Being a NEET itself never bothered me that much but in the past few days I've been hit with the feeling that I'm wasting my life (effectively been one for about 2 years now). I just feel like crying all the time. I used to be able to avoid thinking about it but recently I've run out of things to distract myself I guess.
I can't see any way out of my current situation, I've already tried uni twice and ended up dropping out both times, I can't trust myself with any large commitments because I feel like I'll end up doing the same thing again.
I have some kind of ADHD type problem that I've been to see people about but I was never given much help for it, maybe because my attainment in school was never that bad. But I just totally crashed out both socially and academically as soon as I left secondary school.
At least I never developed any problems with drugs or alcohol.

The fear is probably the only thing holding you back. I have some sort of attention problem too, also never given help for it because I did well in school. But I was given a fuckload of psych meds and drank and smoked weed for 5 years on top of it. I've been totally clean for over 2 years now and despite the damage i'm only one year away from a degree, and holding an internship. I really thought I was gonna fail multiple times along the way but I told myself I wouldn't and here I am.

They do, unless they are the active type that can find something to do for themselves (travel, gardening, etc.).
It's probably even worse for depressed ronery old people since while you're NEETing it up in your 20s-30s, even 40s, you still have some faint hope that things might change, and they only have to look forward to watching their bodies fall apart.
