I'm on neetbux and in social housing so in theory I could do this but I live in the middle of a big city which is decidedly uncomfy, and I don't have enough money for a car (gas, insurance and all are expensive in Europe). My situation is still preferable to most modern wagies', but I wish I could live in a small countryside house like this.

I suffer

House in OP pic would cost at least 500K gbp. Probably the second home of some London yuppie. Most rural locations in UK now have high house prices as the rich folks escape to the country to escape multicultural hell

I'm almost like this. Instead of live alone, live with parents. Only time I see them is for food. Always lived this way.

>>19084282
Just move to one, it's not hard. If a somali child rapist can do it so can you. I get the non-taxable equivalent of minimum wage every month, completey free healthcare and an apartment that's two times less expensive than in private housing just because I'm a diagnosed sperg. And I can walk for thirty minutes and be at the beach. Come home, NEET man.

>>19084329
Pretty much all of the western european ones. Don't go to Spain or Italy, their welfare sucks. France, Belgium, Germany and Sweden are good. But you're not going to get refugee status if you're not from a genuine shithole, if you're American or from a peaceful country just move in through normal channels. You probably won't get kicked out even if you stay past the visa expiration date anyway

I'm very close to achieving this, mostly through putting 80% of my salary in options. If it keeps working like it did in the past 4 years I'll be out of this urban hellhole in 5-10 years.

I would do anything. I’m so close to quitting my job. I can’t take it anymore.

wtf am I actually autistic then?

Americans and leafs have it easy. Enormous countries with vast wilderness. Its easy to go Tedmode. Europe, and especially UK, you are screwed.

>>19084513
Wrong. We have vast wilderness areas only in theory. In practice, they’re all on public land, meaning you can’t live there. You can’t even stay there for more than a few weeks at a time. As for the private land, it costs a fortune.

>>19084273
What's the best self employment option? Most seem like physical or skill based labor.

>>19084577
I find it to be daytrading. You work 2-4 hours a day, make €10k a month and pay 20-30% capital gains tax.
The learning curve is huge and it takes anywhere from 2 to 5 years in order to become profitable as well a relatively large bank balance, around €25k minimum.
But well, you asked what's the best self-employment option, not the easiest. Look into daytrading future contracts.

>>19084577
Plumber. But it’s a trade not a labour.

>>19084530
I'm assuming you're out west.
Out east all the land is private. There's hardly any public.
Sure, there's ton of woods, but you can't camp there because someone owns it.

>>19084513
I fantasize about living in Northern Wales or the west of Scotland or something, is that not a viable prospect? I want to run as far away from civilisation as possible, being within the effect radius of the nukes when they start flying is a plus too though.

>>19085144
I don't know about the Netherlands, sorry. I'd rather not say what my country is.
>getting a skilled job
You mean if immigration can help with that? There are plenty of expats here working qualified jobs if that's what you want. Once you're in the game, the welfare office can provide you with lots of opportunities and this obviously includes jobs. I got my driver's license for free by pretending I wanted to become an Uber driver, I'm not even bullshitting you. Once you're in the system, you're on easy mode for the rest of your life or until society collapses.

Teddy K. did it with minimal money.

You're just weak, OP.

>>19084253
"introvert" is such a cope
just say you're a soiboi coward

>>19085274
Introvert does not mean fear of others, it means that you are drained by social interactions and need breaks from them to recharge (while extroverts are charged by social interactions and being alone drain them)

>>19085259
It's worth a punt. It's not as if there's anything better to do.

>>19085280
means you're afraid of interactions because you recognize that you are fundamentally weaker than the people you have to interact and you hide from the world
i get not wanting to live in the >hustle bustle of the city but branding yourself as an introvert is just escapism cope. Do not put yourself in these tight corners

>>19085292
Whatever you say, chief, but your retardation is draining me, excuse me for a bit.

>>19084804

More like in general. A visa would not be required, if you catch my drift.

>Once you're in the game, the welfare office can provide you with lots of opportunities and this obviously includes jobs.
Nice. I suppose this would extend to something like software or a graduate program of some kind?

>>19085299
Woah how many contents you have conquered sigma man?

>>19085318
>instagram buzzwords
just transition already so you can be the helpless little girl

>>19085317
Getting a skilled job without some kind of documentation should prove difficult. I think that if you have a degree, you should look at moving through the proper channels, you won't gain anything by going the other route. There are plenty of skilled expats so there shouldn't be any problem.
>I suppose this would extend to something like software or a graduate program of some kind?
Of course. One guy I know recently got an offer from the welfare office to learn web development for example. But these are professional programs, not academic ones (i.e. you get a certification, not a BS/MS/PhD). However, graduate school is free (ymmv depending on the country and on your specific situation as a foreigner). In my country, you can't both be on welfare and be a student unless you're a high level NEET who has managed to secure the "special" welfare (autismbux, veteranbux, etc).
But all that is administrative details and I don't work for the welfare office so you're better off researching this yourself. Bottom line is, you can definitely move to Europe and NEET it up comfortably here if you play your cards right.

>>19084530
>We have vast wilderness areas only in theory. In practice, they’re all on public land, meaning you can’t live there. You can’t even stay there for more than a few weeks at a time.
Oh, it's vast in practice as well, anon. If you are quiet and keep things relatively covert, you can indeed 'squat' on public land that you're not allowed to be on. To do it for a longer time period, you'll probably want to be at least a day's (preferably two day's) hike from the nearest road, and to make sure that your home is covered by trees if anyone is flying overhead. Forest anon has been living that way for 2+ years now I believe.

>>19084304
Immigrants usually can't claim stare welfare.

>>19085344
>Bottom line is, you can definitely move to Europe and NEET it up comfortably here if you play your cards right.
Hey, thanks for the info brother. Been considering a move for a while, and it looks like there's plenty of opportunities any which way to go. Not looking to show my hand too much but I think I can definitely work something out over there.

>>19085361
>I thought Rapture's net worth was in the 8 figure range?
Holy fuck, no wonder he is rightwing. He disappeared from YouTube, is he alright?

Also how you and your wife would bear all the shut in degenerates from all over the world? It would be a hell

>>19085385
I have a deep sympathy for shut in would-be degenerates, because I was pretty close to being one myself in my earlier days. You all are (in general) alright. I'm quite certain though that my wife would quickly lose patience at the condescension half the board has at woman authors, so it wouldn't work for her.

Maybe if we get divorced I'll be in, but that's not likely.

Anyways, good luck to all you island dreamers.

>>19085398
>You all are (in general) alright.
T-thank you anon

>>19085369
Under certain circumstances they can. Either way, permanent residents can, and citizens can; and neither of those statuses are difficult to get.
>>19085380
Best of luck.

>>19085351
Forest anon is just lucky. I live near one of these wilderness areas snd I’ve been asked to leave by rangers and game wardens multiple times.

>>19085281
I don't know, wouldn't that mean butters would be there? Perish the thought of wiling away the entirety of my life on a little island where she is.

>>19084612
Yeah, but there is actually a lot of public land in the Northeast, especially Pennsylvania, New York, and Maine. People seem to not know that, but it’s there. There’s a huge spot in Pennsylvania.

I might do something like this once I have enough for the van and all of the modifications.

>>19084337

How do autists manage to use verbose language? Is there a 120-130 verbal IQ prereq? Normies talk like shit because the standard crowd of them is approximately that stupid. Where else would it come from? There's different registers for different contexts but psychologists will literally try to assert that mush mouth bix nood nig and zoomer speak is a sign of "healthy social development". God I fucking hate psychologists so much. They study the biggest number and do whatever they can to justify and encourage the manner and habits of the biggest number because....they get paid by the biggest number! It really is that simple. Follow the money stupid!! If weird freak spergs made more money or had an outsized influence then normies would be forcefed horsepills and suppositories to make them more like good and successful men such as Bill Gates or Elon Musk. Autistic freaks rise up! Revenge of the freaks hell yeah!!!

>>19085475
Yeah, that's true. I have spent some time camping in PA, and it's great woods.
Where is the place to which you refer in Maine? I'm in MA, and my only refuge is the Whites or the Greens. It would be great to know of an alternative to the north.

>>19085540
God no. At least in the states, most military bases are in or very near the cities. The better part of the US Army is based in Kileen TX, Columbus GA, or Fayetteville NC. Any stories of people ending up where they requested are already a tiny minority, and it gets smaller still when those places end up being decent.

>>19084282
US welfare benefits are better but harder to get. SSDI makes out at $3200 a month untaxed. However, you need a history of decent earnings to reach that peak.

>>19084253
I would love to live like this, just myself and the beautiful outdoors, just reading and writing. I don't want to live too far away from other people but I would like to go outside and not immediately see any other houses. Currently I'm living in my parents basement, have an interview lined up for a meh job (only have to work two days a week though), and currently in uni. I was thinking, since I'm so young and have little in way of responsibilities besides college, I should start saving and planning now, so that in 3-4 years I have some nice options lined up

>>19085560
Hm. Turns out I was wrong about Maine. There’s a pretty big chunk of land near Katahdin, but that’s it. There’s not much public land elsewhere. It’s the same in Pennsylvania really. There’s not that much public land as a percentage of total, but that giant patch in the middle of Pennsylvania makes up for it.

>>19085576
Coast Guard will definitely send you to some shitty island nobody has ever heard of to maintain buoys.

>>19085551
>Is there a 120-130 verbal IQ prereq
Autism diagnoses are bullshit. Here they administer an IQ test before the diagnosis, I scored 140 and the psych basically admitted she couldn't really tell if I was a sperg or had "high intellectual potential" but marked me down as the former because I didn't smile a lot and was mildly uncomfortable. It's all a meme, so take advantage of it at least.

>>19084253
I wish I could live like that, but I won`t read and write without society. I will just eat, sleep and masturbate all the day after month or two trying.
Sucks to be me.

>tfw neet with everything provided for me already, about to move away to the countryside and everything you describe
>tfw haven't even touched any inheritance yet

I quit my job about 2 weeks ago, intending to take about 3 months off, and I feel better than I ever have. It's bittersweet, feeling my soul slowly fill back up from a state of emptiness, yet knowing that I will soon have to drain it again. At least I now know without a doubt that my goal of early retirement is worth striving for.

>>19085600
Yeah, Maine is pretty much all owned by logging companies, which is unfortunate. Tons of woods, but you're not allowed there.

>>19086379
Damn; sad that I missed the livestream.

>>19086472
You didn't miss much it was really choppy. He talked about books and some family history though

Man, I dunno, I *really* love living in my small (< 120k) Euro university town. It's cute, there are many nice places to eat, we have great local wine and most importantly rent is too expensive for scumbags. It's effectively a gated community where the inhabitants think they are inclusive and progressive lol.

Wow I'd love to just sit there and do nothing for the next 50 fucking years. Seeing as I'm not some old retired faggot a scenario like this doesn't seem too appealing in the longterm.

>>19086799
It does sound appealing to me and I'm 30. I'm pretty over this life and what the modern world has to offer me. I wouldn't mind never seeing it ever again.

>Ascetic ideals indicate so many bridges to independence that a philosopher cannot, without an inner rejoicing and applause, listen to the history of all those decisive people who one day said no to all lack of freedom and went off to some desert or other, even given the fact that such people were strong donkeys and entirely different from a powerful spirit.
>So what, then, does the ascetic ideal mean as far as a philosopher is concerned? My answer is—you will have guessed it long ago—the philosopher smiles when he sees an optimal set of conditions for the loftiest and boldest spirituality. In so doing, he does not deny "existence"; rather that's how he affirms his existence and only his existence, and does this perhaps to such a degree that he stays close to the wicked desire perat mundus, fiat philosphia, fiat phiosophus, fiam! ... ["Let the world perish, but let philosophy exist, let the philosopher exist, let me exist!"]

>All honor to the ascetic ideal insofar as it is honest! so long as it believes in itself and does not play tricks on us!

>>19087221
Not only are you wrong but you clearly have no idea what you’re talking about, and might even be a bit delusional. Idk if you think you can survive indefinitely in a bushcraft shelter smack dab in the middle of Frank Church or if you actually think you rangers can’t get to the places you can get to but either way you’re wrong and stupid.

>>19087436
the fact you think it's impossible to avoid detection in wilderness areas does show you're a little naive

>>19086363
Wildland firefighter here. Can confirm if one of us didn't find his place then nobody will

>>19087502
I never said it’s impossible to avoid detection, retard. I’m suggesting anywhere you’d live would be detectable. If you can get there, they can get there too, and they can do it much easier than you can. If you think you’re going to set up shop and survive in the remote wilderness by yourself using only bushcraft you are simply delusional. Stop with the Rambo LARP.

>>19087616
Nobody said anything about bushcraft. The whole thing started when an anon earlier said you can squat in the woods and as long as you're far enough in the woods and covert about it you can avoid getting caught. Which you replied to saying that Forest Anon is just lucky, and that you live near wilderness areas and see rangers all the time.

>>19087616
Nobody here said that you would rely entirely on bushcraft and being 100% self sufficient. Forest anon goes into town probably once a month or so.

What we are saying is that the wilderness is vast enough in the United States that it is possible to go and squat on that is regularly patrolled/monitored/etc.

Having lived in the largest city in my country all my life (and growing up on both American and Japanese idealistic depictions of rural life) I both greatly desire to live away from the city and understand that my perception of such a life is unrealistic.

How little perspective do you have that participating in society is an unbearable burden? You don’t need a cabin in the woods. You need genuine hardship. You’ll see the light quickly.

I am about done with society myself. I have been in university for around 7 years now and all this has done for me is run up debts. I've been in and out of work, but due to "lacking experience" am never able to get a decent paying job. I was scammed. Everytime you think you're done, the university tells you that you forgot to complete something (e.g. some "language test" - totally irrelevant to my field) and that you will need to pay around 700 to take the exam. It goes on and on like this. I was scammed, I know that, and my enthusiasm for participating in society has dropped.

My cousin is a tradesman and started his own company after working for about the same amount of time I've been wasting my time studying. He offered to teach me the ropes, and I think I'll accept it. Once I am able to make an income, I'm going to invest in living off the grid and then take revenge against the university scam that has destroyed my generation.

I'm aware that everything is potentially fake but Bear Grylls isn't very similar to some youtuber living like a hobo. At first you said his channel was "busted as fake" and now you're saying his channel is fake because Bear Grylls is. I'm willing to acknowledge that his channel could be fake but I'm very certain that it isn't.

Why would you want to move there? They're unironically ugly, crass, have shit taste, their country looks boring and they're full of tourists going for their drugs and hookers. It's like the US of Europe but taller and uglier, not counting England.

Depends on how retarded /lit/ is. If you went into humanities without a solid financial background you're dumb as hell. I did and I am. Most of my classmates had rich parents and were women who admittedly counted on marrying someone rich.

I'm dreaming of returning to my hometown in the middle of nowhere in Siberia with enough money to buy a hut in the mountains. Hoping to do that before 30s

You have to be crazy to live how he does and I mean that as a compliment if Forestanon ever reads this. Not only being okay with the isolation but how the fucker just laughs his ass off through blizzards and can actually be out in temps of 49 degrees celcius without getting a heat stroke. It's abnormal and again I say that as a compliment. When you're able to feed wild mice from your hands and get them to come when called, and they feel safe enough to literally sit on your foot it's safe to say you've become a fixture of your surroundings. Wild mice are extraordinarily afraid of humans so just the fact he is able to tame them is one of the things that's always awed me the most.

I'm not that anon but you should be aware that YouTube is pretty much small scale TV. The same rules apply. There are influencers on social media whose lives are also completely fake. Even regular people fake everything even if they do not profit from it. Why? Because of ego. I'm not saying that everything is necessarily fake but there is definitely the possibility that it is fake, and the bigger and more influential some is the higher the chances that it's fake.

I really really really like this picture

>tfw the comfy small-town Americana life not only does not exist, it never existed in the first place.

I moved to America about 7 years ago and have travelled up and down it. I am saddened by what I have found.

It definitely existed and I definitely grew up in it. My town was over 99% White, population of about 10k, in New England.
It saddens me deeply that my children won't have the opportunity to have such a peaceful childhood as I had.

I am sat in the countryside in North Wales right now. It's pretty fucking boring sometimes but it is beautiful

Where specifically? What do you tend to do to while away the time? How fast's the internet?

My idyll is to live in some desolated moor, far from anyone or anything. Also there's a pretty girl there too, though I shan't go into that.

>>19084253
wow OP, you are on to something here. we truly do live in a society, dont we.

I have my reasons, and about all that other stuff it sounds like you're just kind of a dick. Sorry, I guess

PFFFFFFT ahahaha. Calm down Wolf of Wallstreet. The amount of time effort and capital you put into achieving such a middling life style could probably be easily achieved by working a regular job part time or saving.

If you browse /lit/ every day, then you are lying about reading every day. People who read a lot don't browse /lit/.

So you don't read a lot.

It's not that isolated, a coastal town. Just a place for old people

Any resources you recommend for learning day trading then? Economics and finance is saturated with so much tripe it's hard to find the good bits.

>>19088316
All of these things can be fixed or dealt with, anon.
