Got fired after calling in sick in the summer of 2012. No regrets.

This goes to show you no matter how much you read you can still be a parasite.

>>7977626
what do you do now?
other than shitpost?

>>7977636
I'm on welfare. I don't do much. Walk around town, run errands, do household chores, cook meals, read, take naps, bathe and groom, enjoy the internet, talk to people.

>>7977666
wow that sounds great. I wish I could do that. I like to travel and vacation so I can't. Pretty much only reason I work.

>>7977666
sounds pretty comfy to be honest

>>7977592
>doing anything other than working part time

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia in 2012. Dropped out of college. Fortunately I got my loans discharged due to disability as well as disablity welfare so I've been living a comfy NEET life ever since. Recently been big into reading about Egyptian civilization. Already read twelve books this year. On page 121 of my schizophrenic autobiography. Hopefully that will earn some interest. I'm also in a noise band and have released two albums.

>>7977696
how do I fake your illness and get diagnosed

>tfw your parents meme you into having so much potential and wanting you to have a "good job" like a lawyer when you just want to work enough to afford a flat and groceries and spend your time on music and writing
>tfw you don't have enough balls to cut your family off like jim morrison and pursue your art
>tfw you feel like youre wasting time when you write and read and you hear your parents upstairs watching their shows and babbling about them and know that they have cushy jobs and a bunch of free time but they spend it on that and they want you to work a job where you have no free time because "you can do so much" but the only "doing" you want to do is art

tfw third world shit-hole and even while working this guy >>7977666 probably lives better than me

Richfag NEET writer checking in.

You have to have some structure and social interaction or you'll go insane and stop being productive. I don't even mean a job, but for someone without a lot of discipline that may be the best option.

>>7977696
You're a modern day Leonardo da Vinci. Got a link for your band?

>>7977719
are you neet if you're a published author though?

>>7977728
I guess. I'm not employed on any kind of schedule by anyone. Started off living off inherited money though.

>>7977666
Nice trips, but I know this is the devil tempting me into a life of idle sin. Nice try.

>>7977767

Nice digits.

There's no use arguing with jobcucks. They can't conceive of valuing their own effort highly enough to treat it reverently.

>>7977777
Some people lead effortlessly lucky lives.

>implying I'm not a NEET ironically checking his trips

Checked.

I read over 100 books last year while working 40+ hours per week and riding the subway 2 hours a day. Get a job you fucking loser,

>>7977815
>Get a job you fucking loser,
...
why?

I have a higher-functioning ASD, have been on-and-off homeless for the past year and a half, and just reached the age of majority and so aged out of government care. I was also recently approved for disability benefits. About a month ago after a long stretch without shelter, I jumped off a bridge in what was I guess a suicide attempt. Since then my province's big housing organization has been paying to keep me in a hotel while looking for longer-term housing options.

I am literally autistic and had to nearly kill myself to do it, but I'm gonna be NEET and living comfortably just like the rest of you.

>>7977815
yeah working at a fast food outlet will be better than reading all day

>Have a cat, a bed, a warm room in winter, a full stomach, a family that is supportive (if flawed), did weed and watched a movie earlier today with a friend, am talking to likeminded people over millions of miles, listening to beautiful music and reading enriching refluctions.
All the glories in the world can't even come close to this good feel.

me sort of, i quit my job in february because i didn't like it. im finishing one class to graduate, so im not total NEET, but that's all im doing. starting another job late may though.

if i could live on NEET bux for all my life, right now im thinking maybe i would.

>>7977666
im truly jealous.

>>7977696
I've read 19 and learning french and at 16 credits at Uni that I'm 4.'ing
NEETS
>mfw

Who here running out of NEETBUX? I usually save up enough between jobs to have a few months off but now I can't find another job. REEEEE

Was NEET for 10 years nonstop. Now I list shit on ebay for a friend of my father, if you want to call that a "job" It takes me all of 20 minutes to list the stuff I get sent and I get paid $90 a day.

Trying to think of what to do with the money to sustain NEETdom. I have no monetary obligations so it all goes strait into savings, already at 15k

>>7977933

where do you live

>>7977937
Detroit

>>7977933
>Was NEET for 10 years nonstop

how was it? what did you accomplish?

>>7977876
I feel it senpai.

>>7977938
not geographically but what are your living circumstances.

>>7977932
I've got a two year buffer. It pays to be frugal.

>>7977946
We all know NEETs never actually accomplish anything.

>>7977946
I basically just dug deep and explored various mediums intensely. After a few years I would get absolutely sick of one, feeling that I found everything worthwhile and start I would start all over again with another one. From ages 15-25 I went through video games, albums, cinema, and literature in that order.

>>7977958
I live with my parents right now and have no complaints, and neither do they, really, since they are used to it at this point. More concerned about the long term though, don't wanna be that 50 year old person on the streets, that's what I'm storing cash to prevent.
