I wanna travel to see the eclipse in Spain. I have 7k in savings and the trip may cost between 3k or 4k. I am a NEET in a third world shithole and I may need around 20k to move to another country, which technically I have as long term deposits I don't count for expenses. I have seen a total eclipse once, but this one is a totally cool eclipse over the horizon.Should I waste money on it? What cope do you tell yourself when missing unique shit that you genuinely want to do like this, when the rest of your life is plain and just bad?
>>34775631no. the eclipse is like 1 minute of people staring at the sky. get your life in order first. there will be another eclipse at some other point in your life.you're retarded if you go and in a shit hole country with shit ass wages.
You should do this if you want to. Sometimes life makes you feel hopeful and wonderful because of little things.
>>34775640>little thingsthis nigger may only make 1k a yearhe can go outside his shack and stare at the sun if he wants to enjoy the little things or bike around or some shit.it's like he was born in escape from tarkov and you're giving him bob ross advice.
>>34775638Sure, that's what I "rationally" think. But whenever I think rationally, I realize thinking rationally has only made me a loser and that's what pushed away all my friends and all chances to be happy. I could have gotten married and my life could be sailing smooth if I had just went with the flow at a certain point.My brother has earned like 120k already in Spain, he could easily go watch the shit but he won't because "rationally", he would be given shit by his bosses to skip just one day for a lifetime ocassion. That's really retarded thinking and I don't want to be a retard like that. I could be broke, but it's not like I know how to use the money to get my life together either.
>>34775649spain is all about siestas. they're lazy there, too lazy to even fuck with hot women. this is a your brother problem not a you problem.you're a retard to pay so much of your little money to stare at the sun for a minute. even if you did do it, do it the cheapest way possible like bikepacking or something. people in the us live off less than 1k a month.i saw an eclipse in 2017 and i never think about it. you make it sound like you're in resident evil 5 so im assuming you have bigger priorities.
>>34775648Also, how about you, can you really give advice on stuff like this? Like, have you been wise to do a stupid whim and have it backfire on you before? Or have you always played by the rules and also got a life of shit because of it?Back on my situation, I waste a lot of time buying cheap vidya or pirating shows. I know getting a gf should cost money but I don't see women being interested in a wet noodle either, and I genuinely don't have many shit that speak to me.In a way, the only way I can think of to keep on living, is to keep watching for miracles. An ordinary life does nothing to me, and whenever people tell me to live one, I die a little inside.
>>34775631What can I say to stop you? For Fuck’s sake, Op.
>>34775662i've made more mistakes than this entire board combined. but i wasn't born in a shit hole. if i was i'd get the fuck out.you have a major problem (you're brown) and a minor cherry on top that problem (you want to stare at the sun).are you back tracking and suddenly you're okay living in shitjikistan?
>>34775729Has someone ever said "God, I should have never gone on that trip, now my life is ruined"? People do often say "I should have gone on that trip while I had the chance"Likewise I haven't heard people say "I wish I had 7k dollars right fucking now" except losers like junkies, but I have always heard how winners say "I came to america with a single dollar" and shit like that.Surely is it not crabs in the bucket saying how you shouldn't be happy and instead just waste away gnashing at a future that will never come?
>>34775886sure. women say those things, but you sound like a fag.>know what women also do?ask for advice that they immediately ignore and put down the people they asked.none of us are going to sell you on this, so just go. you may as well walk the camino as well cause you'll find more people that way than staring at the sun.my friends gone on it a half dozen times and always has stories to tell. i'd spend the money on that instead.
>>34775914Bruv, no offense but you sure sound like a bitch right now. Fine, I won't go, just stop saying embarrassing stuff like that.
>>34775935go do the camino instead to meet people, you might find some hungry hippy pilgrim, and stop acting like a contrarian woman that doesn't ask for fries before stealing the mans.your hairline and skin tone camouflaged to an indian pipe dream isn't going to save you from running on hormones though.
>>34775946I wanna do the camino one day but that will take tons more of money man, have you done it already? They don't let you camp in the middle of nowhere unless you trespass. Also that will take a month of living abroad with no sustenance. How do backpackers manage to live on vagrancy? I genuinely would like to know.
>>34775983you dont have to pay thousands for your bullshit if you do it rightmy coworker just did it and they often have a negative balance in their account. they're also a continent away. people use a bivy shelter in those places all the time. you just find a place at dusk and leave at dawn. most people leave you alone. i'm a certified /out/ist thats spent years in the middle of nowhere. all you need to pay for is travel and food and supplies to hike but shit people are doing it now with only 10-20 pounds in their pack.plus a lot of those people have hostels or cheap shelters. i dont know enough about the camino. i usually dont follow a trail but go off deep in the woods with a hammock or bivy.
>>34775631You want my actual opinion?Waste of money. You'll feel like you're doing the right thing right up until the eclipse ends and then it will all come crashing down on you that you delayed your future to look at the sun and the moon for a couple seconds. You will feel bad. I tell myself I'm not allowed to have fun because I'm poor. If it ain't free it ain't for me.
>>34775983Not that guyAs a backpacker your biggest expense by a large margin is food. You could do the trip with $1000 if you already had the gear, and weren't afraid to trespass to sleep. My tent is leaf colored, I've never gotten kicked out of somewhere I wasn't supposed to be.
>>34776017yup. this is the small pleasures in life.this is the same problem places like /out/ or /fa/ or /k/ have. people aren't even enjoying the hobby but inundated with buying shit they dont need to be happy. the boards are shit because they're just discussions over amazon wishlists.>>34776027he gets it
