Talk to me boys, it's pretty bad, isn't it? I'm not sure how to proceed. I'm not really looking for advice, god knows i won't get a good one here. Still, anyone in a similar situation? Feel free to share.

nothing much to say I've also have shit work history and nothing going forward after this. I think I will just collect disability and chill for the rest of my life and pretend I don't exist in this world because I'm such a terrible person I'd rather not get to know anyone anymore. I will probably inherit this house and as long as I fix it up a little I should be chilling for the rest of my life

Day 7,284 of my NEETdom.

>I just don't get it

For this and other reasons, I pray for UBI. Working for the sake of working is sick. The long hours. Especially with mass-outsourcing to slaves.
The West should be down to Keynes' 15 hour work week by now. We were 'supposed' to have more leisure time, not be neo-feudal slaves.
>>
>>84661511
>Thank Christ I don't live in burgerland.
This entire country is oppressive and retarded for no reason. The nearest grocery store is a 3 hour walk. There are no side walks leading to it, just dirt and gravel paths dangerously close to the street. The weather reaches 90F this time of year (32C) you're basically fucked if you don't have car.

I have been a neet for the last 8 years. My grandfather left me a sizeable inheritance that I plan on growing through investment investing, gonna hire a financial planner. I love you gramps thank you so much for everything you did for me and helping me escape this fucked society.
>>
>>84661667
F. Though it's pretty much the same deal in any rural area in the West.
Sure, we might have some more public transport, but it can be highly irregular outside cities.
Supposedly, it's much easier to get and run a cheap car in burgerland. It's way more expensive elsewhere.
>>84661681
Lucky bastard. Good luck.
My grandpa left me some card collections that I cannot sell without a paper trail that would destroy my 'bux.
The killer is that he had two homes, worth about a million, that his surviving kids have not (one home) and will not (the other) sell.
Even after 200K care costs at the end of his life, and if I got my late mother's third, I should have gotten at least low six figures from one sale.
Though that would have killed my 'bux too, it would have bought me a decade of NEETdom, and I could have invested and grown it.
My only investment is 1,500 in gold coins, which have gone up in value, but not enough to live on. Oh, and I fucking need photo ID to sell them. I used to have 3-4K in my account, but since the coins, and in trying to cope with this miserable existence, I've been stuck below 1-2K for 18 months.

i honeslt don't count anything before 20-21 as neeting. dragging highschool, flunking, gap years, break here and there, there is plenty of reasons for someone 20 or younger to not have any experience. what's your illness? and i do agree, living alone is very nice. im in a similar boat, but im older and don't have enough money to keep on doing this indefinitely

A worthless parasite that's bringing down his country for 20 years is the exact type of person that claims to hate burgerland, yet when offered free passage out of burgerland nobody ever takes it because everywhere else is considerably worse.

I'm 31 and my parents have been paying my rent since I was 19. Pretty sure I'm getting cut off soon but don't really care as I'm going to get married and my bf is going to take over as my money source. Gonna get something part time as my dog just passed away and I have more free time now (I was his full time caretaker, he was special needs). I was thinking maybe a gardening center or petsitting for other special needs dogs. I can administer injected or oral medication, can deal with seizures, know dog cpr and how to engage with multiple different dog personalities. I made a tepid post on nextdoor about it and 2 people already were interested.

I know. Which is why I'm planning on saving some dough before quitting Target.

I live with my dad and his job pays the majority of the bills. The only problem is that he's retiring soon and I don't think social security will cover mortgages and utilities. My mom lives alone by herself.
>No bitches, no friends, 2 jobs, and still living with parents. Sounds rough, how are you holding on?

Former neet here. Turned forty-two this year. Stupidly felt an insane surge of hope at work last wek and invited a co-worker out that i ride-share with.

My sister literally didn't have a job and just stayed inside all day for ten years since she became 18. She out on weight but man her skin is flawless.

it was fine. mostly boring, i've been reading a webtoon for the last couple of days/weeks and my progress stalled due to browsing slop sites like yt or 4chan too much.
i went for a night bike ride and rode to a decent outdoor gym thats like 20 min ride from my house where i got absulutely MOGGED by a 16 year old so i will cease leaving my house for the forseeable future.
how about yours? are you NEETing as well or are you a wagie? any prospects on the horizon?

at least you have a decent degree, wish i finished one of mine. do you still like the field?
do you think you can do some extra courses to update your knowledge and cv?
will your parents let you keep neeting?
i honestly wish i tried getting some "useless" humanities degree instead of stem over and over.
maybe i'd meet some cool friends there, and end up better than i did. if i met some friends i'd have easier time studying and maybe i'd finish one.

What degree(s) did you attempt, anon?
>do you still like the field?
I don't particularly like software/coding. I love theoretical CS and mathematics though (but the only relevant jobs/research in that sphere requires grad school).
>do you think you can do some extra courses to update your knowledge and cv?
I'm thinking of doing a "personal project" or open source contributions, but my motivation is extremely low and I don't know if that'd even help
>will your parents let you keep neeting?
Probably (thankfully), but they're not happy about it
>maybe i'd meet some cool friends there, and end up better than i did
I'd attribute a lot of my early failures in getting a career to not making friends/connections. It's one of my biggest life regrets.

In your OP you said you can't keep focus so studying is off the table. What would you want to study if you were able to focus?

I'm still in the "honeymoon phase" so to speak of being a NEET, I recognise that. It will get progressively worse the longer it continues. I graduated high school nearly eight months ago and have been taking it easy as a NEET ever since. I'm comfy staying with my Grandma for the week. She keeps asking me which courses I plan to pursue or bIf I will get my drivers license. I reply, nothing motivates me and no.

Night bike ride? That sounds pretty nice. I miss being able to do night rides/walks when I lived in a city. doing that now in suburban/rural is a good way to get run over.

I've been a NEET for the last 11 years and I wouldn't have it any other way. I never wanted to do anything with my life to begin with, so this lifestyle has been perfect and it never gets old.

I think its twofold. I was probably always depressed and avoidant, but kept things bottled down well enough. And my parents did a poor job of raising me to be self sufficient, I was kept in a constant state of inadequacy.
So when my life went to shit, I didn't have the tools or skills to pull myself out, and mentally I just couldn't take it. So I became even more depressed and avoidant.
