Does being a wagecuck drown out the crippling loneliness

Depends on the work, but it's better than being a neetcuck for sure.

>>25677580
No, but it sure as fuck is nicer than being a NEET.
>went from eating ramen in a dorm room to eating steak and driving a Mercedes in just two years
Sure, it's long hours at the office, but as anyone from >>>/r9k/ knows, you'd waste your time here otherwise.

>>25677916
steak and mercedes is overrated, not worth the stress. my welfare bux is enough to eat homemade burgers plus no stress. i take my moms subway pass for transport if i ever leave the room for 5 guys.

>>25678127
>steak and mercedes is overrated, not worth the stress
First of all, how would you know? Secondly, I spent five years broke, living on ramen and waiting in horror whenever any of my electronics would break.

Considering I get to do what I love and get paid for it, I'd say it's all definitely worth the stress.

>>25678229
>"I spent five years broke, living on ramen"
there's your problem. my 700 welfare bux is enough to live comfortably, while my parents room is free. i can afford burgers and pizza and electronics. and no stress. this truly is the sweet spot of existence.

what are you gonna do when your parents die, serious question

>>25678392
When I said broke, I meant $1000/mo on welfare.

>my parents room is free
I know you're in denial right now, but you do realize that the gravy train will leave you at a station in the middle of nowhere, right?

The longer you spend doing nothing, the less employable and capable of surviving on your own you become. It's like you're upping your dose of morphine every week just a tiny bit and claiming you're not going to end up a homeless drug addict.

>>25678442
in 20 years? that's a long time... i beleive the world will end in 5 at this rate...if not, just go on subsided housing, which would take 25% of my welfare, and it would still be enough to live comfortably. but that's in 20 years... way too soon to worry ;D

>>25678521

>>25678497
lol i wish i had 1k welfare, i'd be so fuckin rich, you ungrateful frak!
and no, the gravy train doesnt stop for at leas another 20 years and i'm 26 now.
disbelieve all you want, be jealous all you want, but its the honest truth, i planned it out carefully.
living the dream.

>>25677580
if you are single you will find at first that you have no idea what to do with the money, then you will move to a nicer building you don't need and spend most of your money on rent and the rest on something to forget how miserable and worthless your life is like booze

unless you are lucky enough to work with cool people life will become even more of a blur than neet life. it will pass by, not quickly but numbly, and while days will become a hellish marathon crawl entire years will just blink by

if you end up in a nice collective it really takes away the depression n shit as long as you're at work but once you get home you'll still be miserable and depressed, so I'd say it helps a bit but all in all it doesnt cure any of your problems

There's no way you could guarantee that.

you're just a brainwashed goy, so i won't expect you to understand true purpose of existence.
I'm the one in disgust and pity when i see your kind wasting their lives away.

>>25677580
depends on the work, but for the most part yes it does, being a neetstain is just a never-ending blur of meaningless routine with no reward. Wake up in the afternoon, shitpost and play vidya with no pleasure derived from it, tell yourself that tomorrow is the day that you fix all your problems, go to bed in the morning, repeat.

With being a wagecuck you actually have a reason to enjoy your free time and have the means to do whatever you want with it. You also have an opportunity to meet people and get a gf.

>>25678392
living at your parents' is the ultimate form of slavery.

>>25678993
>I'm the one in disgust and pity when i see your kind wasting their lives away.
And you should, shouldn't you? I'm doing what I'm love and helping my community, family and friends in the process, whereas you're the true hero of the story, wasting whatever your parents worked their entire lives to achieve, just to mentally and physically masturbate in your "free room" to cartoons.

Yes, it is my life that is wasted.

>>25678993
Holy shit, you actually belive this philosophy. Jesus. And you're go to rebuttal is "oh wageslave, you're just jealous ;D"

>>25679988
I doubt there is a job for people, they just become complacent with what they do.
You'll be replaced with a robot, as in an actual machine, soon enough I'm sure.

I work in a shitty cafe 2 days a week and I'm always begging my boss for overtime because my days spent alone in my house doing fuck all depress the fuck out of me and always make me want to kill myself. I choose slaving away working my ass off and getting treated like shit by customers over being alone in my own head any day of the week.

It sure would be nice to be able to live without the need to pay for things like food, clothes, housing, and transportation so I could sit around all day and "live" on nothing.
But yes, considering that I would be equally miserable at home all day or at work all day, I'll take a tedious work schedule in exchange for money.

There will always be retards who opt out for the minimum effort (like you), so people like me can do what they love and get paid for it. Let's face it, you're one fight with mommy away from working at costco.

I feel happier now then I did during my 4 years of NEETdom. Having money makes socializing easier, and has been good for my health as well. I used to just get fast food, some 40's of Mickeys and shit weed and go into my room.

I think it all depends on what job you work. Personally, I enjoy working in an office environment; the people are friendly and we have an office pet who is great for distractions.

Even though things are better, life overall is still a shitshow

>>25680032
I've been NEET for 2 years and I never imagined I could feel so alone and worthless. I was losing my mind at some points and took trips to the mall to improve my sanity.

I'm starting a new job soon and I plan to work like a maniac to stop thinking about how shit my life is.

>>25677580
Depends on the job. I work as a dentist and I legit can say life is good get paid 70-80k bongistan dollars post tax no boss work 4 days a week. However when I was working in McDonald's life was depressing

>>25680218
>retards you opt our for minimal effort
But those professions require training and skill, people don't get jobs because they love work...they get jobs because they love money

>>25680333

Absolutely.

That is not a reasonable conclusion. I loved what I did before I made a penny doing it.

Yeah really. Why would anyone take a job in a field that they didn't like.
If you like anything, literally anything, then just find a job in that field and it will be at least remotely interesting.

>>25680402
>Then you are probably 1 in a million people that truly enjoy their job.
Whatever you have to keep telling yourself to justify your miserable life, pal, but you gotta know deep down that you're lying to yourself.

>>25677580

You have a schedule and something to do, do not have to be ashamed for being useless, money on your account, nice and surprising things happen occassionally, learn new things. I would personally prefer being NEET anyway, if it was not for the simple fact of brainfog creeping up on you when you do not escape neetdom soon enough. Slowly turning insane and not being able to use my brain efficiently is my biggest nightmare, if I ever get Alzheimer's or dome other degenerative brain illness I would honestly prefer death.

Sure, but at least I will have lead a life where I felt purpose and joy for myself and for the people around me. You won't have even that.

As I already said, those perks are not what makes it necessary for me. When I stay at home and there is literally not a single thing actively forcing me to do stuff, it is a tremenderous struggle to get anything done, everything feels bleak and useless, food starts tasting like dust, wanking feels like a chore, the brain turns into an empty chamber.
I fucking hate working, but doing things I hate with some purpose gives the colour back to the things I enjoy. Call me a masochist, but I need that contrast.
If you can handle a monotone life of comfort, fine by me, but I cant, it literally kills me.

>>25680609
I couldn't even imagine trying to do art with a job, people don't realize that to get good at art you have to practice for 8-12 hours a day.

They hate us coz they ain't us.

I'm in IT and work for the accounting department of a big logistics firm

today I fucked up at work. its kinda hard to explain. I don't know how much money the company lost, maybe 5 million. I spent 4 hours fixing it and then spent another hour deciding what to do. I wanted to hide it but a co worker got a call from another department and began to look into it. there was no guarantee that he'd find out but the risk was too big so I called my boss and explained everything over the phone. fuck ups like this happen all the time in huge companies. I started thinking "shit I'm gonna get fired tomorrow" and realized that I've actually been saying that to myself for well over 4 years.

Cold sweat, night terrors, disjointed speech, hair and weight loss caused by stress. my dermatologist says I don't have alopecia, my hair is falling out because I'm so scared and stressed all the time. sometimes I look down at my keyboard while working and theres hair all over it

this is what working a fast, demanding office job is like. when I was NEET i had no money but I had a head full of hair and my mind was full of all these colorful worlds and characters from all these videogames and movies. now I work 50 hours a week and have no time to do anything else

I am planning my own suicide. just need to get some more paperwork done to get a gun permit.

if you are ever forced to stop being a NEET, just kill yourself. you can only go downhill from there.

>>25677580
Being a wageslave isn't the best thing but it isn't the worst either
If I wasn't forced to get my ass outside then I would probably become a cripplingly depressed shut in again without a doubt.
Plus it's nice to have to not live with my parents and deal with their bullshit

I bought a couple of Powerball tickets and will proceed to fantasize about how I'd escape my shitty life until Wednesday when the winning numbers will be released and I will come crashing down to reality and realize that I will die living this way.

>>25680567
>"but at least I will have lead a life where I felt purpose and joy"
you're not a bright one, are you? coz logic tells me that once you and your family are dead, it doesn't matter if you're bruce lee or a random hobo. you won't remeber all your "contribution to society(jew masters)" because you simply will not exist therefore anything you do has no meaning.

>this truly is the sweet spot of existence
haven't you ever considered going outside and seeing the world? Jesus I thought the whole thing about NEETs was a joke, but damn

>>25680655

Yeah, except most neets are just as bad at art. People who actually give a shit try to make it a source of income, thus actively a job.
Not a single one of you has the dedication and skill to pull that off.

Lol no it isn't, it is the best advice. If you are willing to put the hours in early on you are going to be stuck in a limbo of being garbage for years.

Now look at the Reddit artists, perpetual shit

>>25680865

>>25680938
Nah it isn't. You can't compare an intermediate-advanced artist's practice schedule to a beginner who's only been drawing for a couple of weeks.
>I've seen people start from nothing and within a year they are at a competent level with that type of practice regime.
You're full of shit. First of all a complete beginner cannot figure out a decent 8-12 hour "practice regime" in his first year. Second it takes atleast 2-3 years to reach a level of "not bad" as an artist, same goes for musicians.

An artist will draw because he enjoys drawing, to him it is just fun and play. In time he'll see a goal or a milestone that he'd like to reach, and he'll realise the work that is required of him. That's when he will practice.

>>25680946
the fuck kind of argument is this? that's not what i said nor implied. stop.

>>25680812
If it was a choice between being NEET and being at a bottom rung job where I'm exploited, intimidated by bosses, treated like garbage, make almost no money, and have to put up with stressful human interactions I'll take the NEET life.

It helps. Keeps you occupied, society hates you slightly less, the drudgery makes vidya and anime more fun in comparison (especially if it's a job where you're not on a computer all day,) more money to spend on hobbies and booze. It's not perfect but beats school twelve ways to Sunday.

most people on welfare get out of it pretty soon, it acts as a safety net for them during harsh times. the system works, even if a minority of people try to take advantage of it. most people on "NEETbux" got them from disabilities, which is really difficult to get, even if you have a disability, and almost impossible to fake your way into.

>>25677580
For me, it did. NEET for going on two months now, haven't been able to find a job. Keep trying to kill myself, cut my wrist, tried to hang myself. Maybe it's just because I'm on the verge of homelessness and the pressure's getting to me, but I honestly don't get how NEETs manage to sit alone with their thoughts all the time, and not kill themselves. At least as a wagecuck, for a third of the day, I can focus on mindless, repetitive work, sleep a third of the day, and only be alone with my thoughts for a third of the day. It's like I can only handle 8 hours alone with myself at a time. No friends, so I'm stuck by myself, in my shitty trailer, 24/7. How do you NEETs do it?

Why would you willingly choose to play this game on hard mode?

All power to you OP if you enjoy the lifestyle.

As someone who is 30 and is transitioning to part time (semi retirement), you do have to be the type of person who doesn't rely on others for self-validation.

When the wife and I decided to not have kids (got the snip), people said we were missing out.

When we decided to live in a caravan and travel Australia some thought we were crazy, because oh noes we couldn't get into massive debt buying a house and therefore wouldn't be happy not having "roots".

You know what, when people are telling you you're an asshole for your decisions its usually because you've made different choices than them and they need to take you down a peg to validate their own choices.

>>25681641
I worked at a factory for the past three years, until it shut down because of all of the illegals working there and they finally got caught (I'm not an illegal, there were a few whites like me and some blacks and we all got paid min wage, I'm assuming to make it look like they hired US citizens). I never talked to anyone, just sat there and assembled shit as it went down the line. Couldn't talk to anyone, if I wanted to, everyone on my line only spoke Spanish. Introversion isn't helping me out, here.

Note the "If it were..." at the beginning of my post, which implies a hypothetical.

I'm 28 years old and I've had many jobs, the most I've made was $27.00/hour working for an HVAC guy. I'm NEET now but that's a different matter, I am actively looking for a job but it's not easy when you live in an oil town and the price of oil is down.

The point of my post was that I know there are people who have no choice but minimum wage or worse, the UK with their 0 hour contracts for instance.
This would not be worth the time spent at work and would be better off spent not in a living hell type situation, especially if they are like me and have autistic level social skills.

Does being a NEET drown out the crippling depression of knowing you will live and die alone and broke?

Well at that point you're basically saying that people who suck at life will be failures no matter what, which I agree.

I'm saying that It's stupid to have the ability to get a good job, but decide instead to be a complete broke ass loser.
You might have some semblance of stress free existence as a NEET but you never have anything else.

No, it makes it worse. Because then yeah you have money but it isn't enough to enjoy anything, AND you no longer have time for anything.

No, but it sure beats lying to myself everyday.

Be attractive
My gf really doesn't give a shit what I do because I am good looking and she knows that I can find another girl. She used to be a little chubby a few years ago so she has low self esteem also.

If you get a good job or you work at a nice lil hippy co-op it helps, but if you're stuck at a dead end, manual labor job, being shat on by society for not being muh glorious superior office worker faggot middle class, it makes it worse. FULL COMMUNISM RIGHT FUCKING NOW, BOURGEOISIE PIGS FUCKED THIS SOCIETY AND THEY WILL PAY NOW

yes until it's the weekend but end up having money you will never spend
