I'm pretty much "living the dream" right now for the first time in my life.

I get alot of money from the government. I don't have to work to survive. I own a car, live by myself, exercise, read, cook my own meals, browse the web. I've been living like this for about a month now. I've given up smoking and most of the drinking. I feel very happy and content.

But I still feel pressured to "do something with my life". Everyone in my family is trying to persuade me into getting a part time or casual job, doing courses and other stuff. Why?

I get the feeling they just want me to be as unhappy and miserable as they all are and their intentions are anything but considerate. It's only since I've moved out and got my own place that they have shown so much interest in me and are now giving me what they like to call "advice".

Why is everyone so obsessed with jobs? Why is the first question people ask you after learning your name: "So what do you do?".

Are we living in ancient Sumeria or the Middle Ages where a persons means of income dictates their name, culture, fashion and everything else about themselves? This is pure propaganda, meant to strip away your humanity and turn you into a slave, a wageslave.
>>
>>35005130
We live in a wageslave culture. Work is expected to come before everything in your life, even the shit you actually enjoy doing.
Good on you for doing what you want and getting money from the government. What's your secret by the way? Is it mental illness? I've got literal autism and I've always wondered if getting autismbux from it is worth it.
>>
>>35005130
>I've been living like this for about a month now

Mate, you don't know how fast this shits gonna come down.
Your family wants you to get a job because your present lifestyle isn't sustainable, the government isn't going to hold you up forever.
Also a job/course isn't slavery if your not a lazy prick. Change your mindset.
>>
>>35005130
Do you own your own house/appartment ?

>>35005161
>cucking yourself to your jewish overlord

Thanks but no.
>>
People are still tied to the old methods of people having to be a productive member of society, I sadly only dream of the glorious life you lead.

I have been raised so if i were to become a neet i would feel ever so guilty and end up finding a job again. Becuase I have autism i can't progress in the workplace and will be stuck wageslaving for minimum for the rest of my life.

>>35005130
youre a freeloading parasite, you understand that right? other people are paying to support your existence, because you refuse to work. i hope you drown, burn, starve, suffocate, or experience some other painful death

>I get alot of money from the government

how do you do that? tell me your secret
>>
>>35005232
You're obviously retarded, any state has the capacity to give its population a load of money every months. Soon there will be universal income in every 1st world countries and your kind of faggot will finally close its dirty mouth.
>>
>>35005151
>Is it mental illness?
Yeah, schizophrenia and epilepsy. Medication doesn't work.
>>35005161
You seem angry and bitter. This is why I don't want to work. I've lived semi homeless before, it's better than having your heart and soul chewed out by a employer and all the staff and customers and other angry people you have to interact with everyday.
>>35005189
>Do you own your own house/appartment ?
I rent a 1 bedroom unit. I can hear my neighbours through the walls but that's a good trade off, better than living under someone elses roof and walking on eggshells 24/7.
>>35005191
I don't want to boast. I want you to have the same privileged opportunity that I did. I'm lucky, I know this. If people were a bit kinder and nicer in this life, then maybe I would be more enthusiastic about working.
>>
>>35005232
Leave normie moralfag, your kind don't belong here
>>
>>35005130
>Why is everyone so obsessed with jobs?

Because they're conditioned that way by society.
>>
>>35005130

Most people default to wageslave ambitions because they don't have any imagination at all.

If you can afford rent, food, transportation and recreation you're wealthier than 99% of the people who have ever lived. Normies never have that perspective though.
>>
>>35005274
What's the life like? how much do you get every month and can you afford stuff you want to buy. I love saving up for nice things like a dank pc or nice headphones and getting it delivered. I just want to know if you live on the bare minimum or is it a life of semi luxury?
>>
>>35005351
I feel like a huge parasite as other people have called me ITT. Going anywhere during the day is embarrassing, it feels like people are questioning why I'm not out working being a 24 year old white male with no physical abnormalities.

I get $2015.40 each month. This current fortnight since last Tuesday will be my first "test run" to see how much money I will have after food, bills, etc. I'm doing pretty well so far I think.

Did that answer your question?
>>
>>35005426
you could visit an escort every night with that.

if I had that money my life enjoyment would go up 1000%

I can't even find a min wage job.
>>
>>35005426
That answered it thank you.... god i'm so jealous

Sometimes I'll ask what a person job is just to make small talk, but the truth is I couldn't care less.

Basic income will be a thing within 20 years.

It's not about "having a job". It's about having a passion and direction in life that makes your life fulfilling beyond hedonism. You think you're grown up with your own car, your own apartment and your own cooking, but the reality is that you remain a child who lives in a child's world.
>>
>>35005130
>Why?
Because taking from society without providing anything in return is evil. Because doing something productive and useful is enriching and fulfilling. Because engaging in society is how you make friends and enter into romantic relationships. Because living alone and not doing anything is a shitty way to spend your life, and just because you enjoy it for a month does not mean you won't regret it later.
>>
>>35005677
>Because taking from society without providing anything in return is evil.
You never choose to be born, or to be born into the society you are born into. Society specifically exists to support those born into it.
>>
>>35005748
Nice nonsense post, you really showed me. It doesn't matter whether you choose to be born. You live in society as a leech. You only harm the people around you. This is evil.
>>
>>35005130
I have been living like that for 2 years now, northern european master race
>>
>>35005677
Society forced me to go to school for 13 years. Why is it now that I'm free of the clutches of society I am indebted towards it?
>Because living alone and not doing anything is a shitty way to spend your life
I've lived like this my entire life. Siblings didn't want me around. Parents friends children bullied me. My own schoolmates treated me like a joke and I had to be the class clown to keep them entertained. The only difference is now I am not living under my dads roof, doing things his way, sharing his space, eating his food. No one has ever liked me at school or any other societal place. I don't really like people, they tire me out. I'm extremely happy right now alone in my own pad and I think it will continue.

Don't project your own fears on to me.
>>
>>35005813
What fears? I'm living happily as a member of society. I don't care about your sob story. You may be happy now but it will wear off.

You are indebted to society because you only continue living because of society. It is providing you with money, protection, entertainment, and infrastructure. If you don't want to be indebted to society then go live in the woods. If you want the luxuries and comforts of society then you should earn them. Otherwise, as I said above, you only harm the people around you, and are evil.

r9k is a fucking embarrassment. You people aren't "robots". You are immature lazy failures who shirk responsibility and then rationalise by blaming it on the rest of the world.
>>

>go live in the woods that are either privately owned or owned by the government
Next you'll be telling us to just go live on Mars, dumbass.

I used to be like OP but now I have a wageslave job, have to say personally I got depressed being a NEET after a while, and now ive made some really good friends at my work, I still dont enjoy working but the people there are good.

OP has a good thing going, though he may want to think about the possibility he may have to work in the future, if the Job Centre thing ever changes, but thats up to him.
>>
>>35005864
>You may be happy now but it will wear off.
That's your own fear. Of being alone. You like to pat yourself on the back and say "Well done you hardworking member of society.".
>You are indebted to society because you only continue living because of society.
Get back to me when you are living 100% self sustainable without any money whatsoever. The irony is that I am actually closer to this goal than you are.
>If you want the luxuries and comforts of society then you should earn them.
If society was rational or logical then they would kill me or put me to some use. This is the same society you uphold and say we are indebted towards. I will not fall for such rudimentary guilt trip tactics. If you want to think you are a better human because you do some pointless job 1 million other people can replace you at, then be my guest, me though, I'll take delight in the small comforts, you can have the big ones, they're yours.

No one's going to notice some wild man living in the wilderness regardless of who ostensibly owns it if it's sufficiently in the middle of nowhere.

>>35005986
I'm not afraid of being alone, because I am not alone and I know I'm not going to be alone, because I am a functioning member of society. On the other hand, I have been alone in the past, and I did hate it. You are right that not everyone actually needs social interaction to be happy. Nevertheless, I firmly believe that you are currently in a 'honeymoon phase' with your new apartment and that it will wear thin in due time.

My job is not pointless, nor are most jobs people work. There is not an infinite supply of people to do all jobs, and when people check out of society and become leeches, they do nothing but harm to everyone else, and do not deserve their luxuries.

>No one's going to notice some wild man living in the wilderness regardless of who ostensibly owns it if it's sufficiently in the middle of nowhere.
Ever hear about the unabomber? A lot the places he liked to visit when living as a primitvist got fucking paved. Living innawoods isn't a viable lifestyle anymore, it's retarded to tell people to go live there because they don't want to play by your normie societal rules.
>>
>>35006078
You live in normie society. If you don't want to, then leave. It's that simple. There is an enormous amount of unclaimed wilderness out there and it is not all magically getting turned into strip malls.
>>
>>35005161
>Also a job/course isn't slavery if your not a lazy prick. Change your mindset.
Holy shit, kill yourself.

OP, what about when the Job Centre tell you to do Work Experience? IE working at some basic store for free while still getting your money from Job Centre, they do that here in the UK
>>
>>35005130

It's because your worth as a man is defined by your ability to contribute to society. If you don't work and don't contribute then you're labelled a loser.

>me
>29
>NEET
>dropped out of high school & college
>can't drive
>live with my mum
>haven't worked for 9 years
>suffered with anxiety & depression for almost half my life
>only job I could ever get is in the service industry
>serving coffee or flipping burgers
>would have to compete with thousands of people for the most menial jobs
>would be never any prospect of advancement
>would be living to work for the benefit of someone else


Never let anyone try to define how you live your life or what your life is worth. Find something you enjoy doing and do it. Life is worth so much more than wasting it away in a dead end job you hate just so you can have the privilege of being poor.

Not everyone in life can contribute to society. Either through medical reasons like yourself or some other circumstance. Social safety nets are put in place for a reason.

I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your life lad.

>>35005130
Kiddo, nobody is pressuring you. Your just coming to the realization that you aren't living the dream. Sorry that's you're such a faggot anon, maybe one day you'll amount to something more than a pizza grease stain on uncle Sam's cum rag.
>>
>>35006227
>Kiddo, nobody is pressuring you
Don't know where you live, but here the common attitude is that if you don't work you're scum.

It's funny to see such incredulity aimed at probably the least provocative, sanest post in the thread. You people are off the deep end.

School educates you to be unsatisfied with life and then sells you some bullshit that if you hang out with friends, get a job, get a girlfriend, get married, and have kids, have grandchildren, everything will be okay. It's all bullshit.

Just look at people's faces. 199 out of 200 people I see look like they're in complete misery. None of them stand straight. None of them are smiling and happy to be alive. None of them do a jig when they feel like it. None of them hum and sing as they go about their day. They've become stiff and cold as the steel and blocks of concrete around them.

The only reason they're unhappy right now is because they're miserable people living in hallucinations of how they think life should be, getting frustrated when the truth reveals itself, and becoming depressed when their all-so-important fantasies become crushed by reality.

No one can pressure you to do anything without your permission. No one can take away your happiness without permission. So just laugh and enjoy all the surprises. If you cling to security, you'll never live. Y'know, everyone's so serious about life but I'm glad I came with an expiry date so I can do some really crazy shit.

>>35006429
agreed with the 99% of people look dead inside bit. society as its shaped right now is just now the way to go about being happy

You're doomed OP.

You are in fact not living the dream. Humans aren't built to not strive.
