>According to a childhood friend, Schubert "used to sit down at his writing desk every morning at 6 o'clock and compose straight through until 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Meanwhile many a pipe was smoked." The Austrian composer's afternoons were less rigorous; his friend noted, "Schubert never composed in the afternoon; after the midday meal he went to a coffee-house, drank a small portion of black coffee, smoked for an hour or two and read the newspapers at the same time." On summer afternoons, he often went for long walks in the countryside surrounding Vienna, then enjoyed a glass of beer or wine with friends. He avoided giving piano lessons, even though he always needed the money and frequently had to rely on friends for financial support. As one member of his circle remembered, "Schubert was extraordinarily fertile and industrious in composing. For everything else that goes by the name of work he had no use."
Is this the ideal NEET life?

Just because you're a NEET doesn't mean you can't socialize and have friends. You're looking at hikikomori.

Yeah, but how many genuine long term NEETS on this board do you think have a closer circle of real life friends?

Not necessarily, it's just that the types of failures who are NEET well into their adult life will tend to have some kind of mental illness or other reason preventing them from being successful, which will often also impact their social success.
Not to mention that in his time, the only "NEETS" were basically beggars/aristocrats. The only reason people can be NEET nowadays is because of social funding schemes and/or parents money.

Unemployment is just a way of life for some people, you don't have to have mental illnesses to realize that slaving away for eight hours a day for an average income just isn't worth it.. There are hundreds of thousands of families in my country who live entirely on state benefits.

The fact that you can't envision any kind of employment that isn't "slaving away for eight hours a day for an average income" tells me quite a lot about you.
>There are hundreds of thousands of families in my country who live entirely on state benefits.
The key word being families. My understanding is that it's quite hard to get livable benefits when you're not mentally ill/injured/have children?
