why do people work 40+ hours per week when you can easily live

>>36905731
My rent is $2000 a month

Some people want to enjoy life not just get by on the minimum.

>>36905731
I have a sugar momma, so it is what it is

>>36905761
that's ridiculous, why?
>>36905772
you can enjoy life on that, please tell me why you think you can't enjoy life on less.

>>36905772
What's with the needless shitting on minimalism? I see it everywhere and while I ain't no hippie I can definitely understand the appeal.

>>36905808
it's possible to like expensive things and be minimalist at the same time

>>36905800
I work in LA

Did you guys also know there's a cool down period between posts?

>>36905731
Where do you live and how much do you pay in rent?

>>36905731
Because I want money to buy extra shit

*kicks feet up*
I'd rather live off my 60k/per year NEET bux I collect from the government (wagecuck tax dollars) and from my Youtube gaming channel that rakes in at least 40k a year.

*yawns and stretches*
I get the appeal of minimalism though, luckily I live at home with mum and dad and I get to save that hard earned pay-dirt that wagecucks put their sweat and tears into directly to my bank account ~30k/pyear savings; so I can continue my astonishing NEET lifestyle when I leave home.

*BURRRRRRP* Ahem, sorry wagies, that was my Lasagna I spent my abundance of free time perfecting, don't mind me though, you have to be to sleep soon! Tomorrows wednesday, remember?! Another day another dollar!

canada, i rent a room from a friend for $250 a month

>>36905924
do you get your own private bathroom? I'm renting a small room for $300 and have to share a bathroom

>>36905972
no but the house has 3 bathrooms so it really isn't an issue, kinda wish i had my own kitchen though but can't complain for what i'm paying

>>36905731
it's literally impossible to live off 10k a year in a first world country

>>36905924
Canadian and Australian currencies are basically equal, so Canadian rent prices are stupidly low. I pay 150 a week, or 300 all up for two of us and I don't live in a particularly nice place or in a city

>>36905731
Because they're impulsive hedonists without any willpower, funny thing is they probably enjoy life infinitely less because they need to work so much to pay for their child-like impulses.

I used to have a friend who lived like that, he worked his minimum-wage job all day everyday then bought drugs and partied with skids in the middle of the night. He dropped out of highschool, developed mental illness and severe behavioural issues and stopped talking to me.

Don't live like that OP

>>36906013
no it isn't, your two biggest expenses are going to be housing and transportation

rent a room or studio apartment (if the room is cheaper get that)
ride a bike
don't eat out and cook all your own food

i just knocked off the majority of what will eat your cash up

>>36906020
Depends on the location. A one bedroom apt in Vancouver is around 1000 CAD/month. Australia does seem really expensive though.

>>36905800
>>36905808
Let me rephrase.
Some people have more expensive taste and don't enjoy minimalism.
Some people don't mind working harder so they can treat themselves and enjoy themselves more.

And I'm not "needlessly shitting" on minimalism. I said what it was. Getting by on the bare minimum.

>>36905910
What game does your most popular video feature?

>>36906073
what interesting life experiences have you had?

>>36906020
>so Canadian rent prices are stupidly low

top kek you need a least $1000 if you want anything more than a cockroach infested basement in toronto

>>36906093
>living in an area where you can ride a bike to places you need to be
>for 10k per year

waht?

>>36905731
If you have a family, obligations, hobbies, or ambitions, you will need more than the bare minimum.

Martial arts, court fees, drug addictions, "avenge" a cancer death with donations, running, side project, dating, new computer, new car, rent is expensive, want to be rich, student debt, want kids, want piano lessons.

Things like that need you to do more.

explain how you would even live for 10k a year

i can't afford my motorcycles with 10k a year and i get super depressed when i can't my motorcycles

>>36906159
I'm not sure I understand the question.
I did some cringy/interesting things in highschool if that's why you mean.

Living like your suggesting means your life consists of going to a shitty job for a few hours a week then riding your bike home and shitposting on a Mexican coathanger forum. Don't you want to experience more?

If OP still lives with his parents and pays no bills then its clearly possible

>>36905910

You will never get 60,000 a year in disability money. You also do not making 40,000 USD a year from making gaming videos and posting to YoUTube.
Stop LARPing

>>36905772
Enjoy life working as a filthy slave

>>36906373
Compensated labour isnt slavery.
And i get more than enough compensation.

>>36905910
>60k a year in welfare benefits
>60k

What country do you live in, I'm moving there

>>36906323
Not OP but this sounds like the perfect lifestyle to me. How the hell do you find a job that you can work at for a few hours a week and still make 10K though?

>being so eurotrash doesn't read entire post
40k yearly in my Youtube Gaming channel, pathetic wageslave.

Maybe you're not from that dark gloomy island they call europe though, maybe you're just so exhausted from sucking your bosses toes that you can't read properly. Am I right lil wagie? Been sucking your bosses toesies? Aww, don't get ragie lil' wagie, it's just some atheletes foot.

HAHAHA. *giggles violently.* Pathetic wage-vermin. *sips chocolate milk*

>I work in LA
So? There are places to rent in LA that don't cost that much per month.

I feel the urge to violently attack you.

>>36905731
Because I want to a an indispensable part of the work force and have a family and kids and go on vacation . All that shit is expensive.

>>36906663
>I'd rather live off my 60k/per year NEET bux I collect from the government

Yep It's definitely my fault I misunderstood. Whatever you're getting from the government in disability needs to be increased. You clearly don't have the intellectual capacity to work.

>>36906013
lol no. It's totally possible and I would do it without any problems.

>>36906481
it's literally rent.

>>36907359
Agreed, I could as well

It would be impossible though if you had any aspirations to live the normalo lifestyle

>>36905731
Grow up nigger. That shit is literally impossible.
>live in a place where things are close so you can walk or bike to shit
Expect "high" rent ($600ish a month on the low end)
>want a cheap place, expect to need a car to get shit you need
>if you get that car, better have money for gas and tune-up
>Oh and you'll need that car insurance. It's illegal to drive without it
>Oh don't for get to pay for your registration
>shit nigger, did you get really sick? Better hope there's a free clinic near you, otherwise US hospitals aren't going to do shit for you
>Oh that apartment you got, better pay utilities. Electric and Gas can be costly. Don't wanna freeze during the winter. Oh and I guess you could save money by not having internet. You don't need that, do you?
>uhoh, phone bill. Need to be able to get calls from those job applications you put out after you realized 10k isn't enough money you stupid nigger.

>>36907137

How do you get 60k in neetbucks ??

>>36908222
You don't. Nobody does. I was quoting an earlier anon.

>>36905731
>why do people work 40+ hours per week when you can easily live off of 10k per year?

>health, dental, vision
>PTO
>workers comp

I'm on mobile so I can't tag the first anon, but my rent is also going to be roughly $1500 - $2000 unless I rent JUST a 10' x 5' room (which is pretty standard for what is around the area and within the price range of what I want to pay sub-$1000).
