Once you become an adult you can't escape into games anymore. You can unwind and have fun with games, but you have to deal with your problems independently in order to enjoy your off time.

>>385886449
It's also not as bad as it sounds. I'm 23 now and Ive dealt with finding my own housing, insurance, doing my own taxes because lol broke, working my ass off, etc. But they all graciously come one at a time and after you've done it once it's part of your regular routine, no sweat.

Don't be afraid to abandon the NEET life, fellow anons. It's not that bad and it's pretty sweet when you have your own space that you can support yourself.

Whether it's true or not, I couldn't give less of a shit.

Its human nature to be unhappy.

Jokes on you, loser, I try and play games that will add to my experience with reality, that teach me lessons and have substance to them, so that instead of escaping to worthless worlds that are meaningless, I'm adding to my real life which I enjoy.

I was a NEET for so long that now the real world feels like a game even though I'm working my ass off and shit.

You are wrong. True happiness is what you make of it. The secret is to want to be better. Truly.

Underage faggot. Kill yourself.

>>385889437
If you are not stupid you have to invest it all in more and more shit to stay wealthy
Of course if I was stupid I could waste it all and be poor like you all in a month or less, so no
I can buy vidya and whatever I feel like, but reasonably. Maybe a trip to some other continent once a year, but I don't spend it like an idiot buying dumb shit.

>>385889284

I'm also a wealthy fag, lads :^) Anyone want some money?

>>385889646
I actually donate money to anons here constantly.
If you don't believe me, I don't care. I have nothing to prove.

>>385889725
Yeah, so do I, anon :^) Let's both be good people on 4ch

>>385889614

Sounds like you mentally/emotionally plateaued in the pursuit of obtaining that wealth.

Ease up, take some fun classes at community college and fuck some QTs there; you sound like Notch.

>>385889783
Well sucks for you, I got several anons that could post and say I am for real, but you will pretend they are proxies or not real, so whatever.
Your loss.
And not every rich fag is a miserable fuck like the media paints us.
I was once poor and I know how it sucks that's why I give to people similar like me.
>>385889970
I just don't want to go back to the streets again.

>>385890067

If you're sitting on a cool million then what are chances of that actually happening?

Pay your taxes, buy some condos, hire a property management company to manage them and live off your dividends.

>>385890067
Not that other anon; I'm genuinely interested in how you went about flipping your life around. Not in a shitty situation myself (college kid making a bit of change) but you seem real to me

>>385890723
My Father disowned me some timelater because my mother left the house, he almost killed her twice.
We lived in the ghetto streets for 10 years, when he was close to dying he let me come back and I took care of him until he died.
I then inherited all of the money and now I am fucking rich. From rags to riches.
I have made it grow though, like 20%.
>>385890625
Yeah I have some depts I just built to do exactly that.
I'll live from renting them.

>>385885802
...?
I play Vidya since they are fun.
My reality is going fine.
maybe not as good as it could be, but it's good enough.

>>385891009
Inherited enough money to be rich? I thought you were living in the ghetto? Did your dad keep half a mil under his sheets? No disrespect or anything. I appreciate you sharing the story with me. Hoping to someday be really well-off myself

>>385889614
>If you are not stupid you have to invest it all in more and more shit to stay wealthy
You know I keep hearing about this, but is investing really something I'd have to do regardless of my expenses if they're small enough? Imagine I got money like you did all of a sudden but, as it was, I had minimal living expenses. I have a house that's paid for and would probably barely spend more than 800 a month. Would that not be enough to live the rest of my life on? The only two major things I imagine that would endanger that is emergencies or inflation, but what else do I need to consider?

>>385891287
No I lived in theghetto for 10 years, but my Father lived in a wealthy place, so I went back with scraps of money I could gather.

>>385891009

So then chill out already and go take some fun classes at a community college.

Go slumming and find some QTs; use a fake name, dress down and a fake backstory.

I do it every semester.

There's no way to prove reality is actually real, philosophically speaking.
The only thing you can be certain of the existence of is your own consciousness.

>>385891347
If you want to make money investing and doing business is crucial to be able to either spend it, or make it grow even more.
If you spend big, you gotta make even bigger bucks.
Golden rule my Father teached me, never spend more than you earn.

>>385891009
Doing that for my nephew, government took him away and put him in foster care (sister wanted to home school him, the teachers did not want that) when that kid graduates high school/college, he'll be getting a million or more in a trust. Probably the only real fuck you I can give to the system cause you sure as shit can't fight em court. Just hope he doesn't get too fucked up or raped by some weirdo.

learn to suck up some of those bad times to make the good times even better

>>385891424
I do chill out sometimes in my old place with some old friends.
I can never tell them I am rich, they would get too jealous.

Oh, I see. Not sure how I didn't piece that together. Glad to see you came onto better times after living in the streets, anon, and thanks for indulging me. I always love hearing rags-to-riches stories.

I want nothing but chaos to happen because the world is so fucked. The only thing that the modern world has to offer a young man these days is death. Let our deaths be fighting for something, rather than just fade away into nothingness

>>385891702
I lived with my mother in some rented apts that were the lowest of the low, super small.
You couldn't even open wide your arms inside without moving shit around.
Now I live in my Father's house and it is so big in comparison.

The world would be better off if suicidal people just killed themselves. If you're suicidal and reading this, go ahead and do it. You will amount to nothing anyway.

>>385891545
Hate that, I don't hang with much of anyone aside from my roommate, even then it's limited. Made the mistake of showing my power levels once a few years ago, never fucking again. I'm going to try again though to socialize this upcoming year.

>>385891545

No, senpai you don't go back to where you started, ever. Those people are dead weight who know too much about you. Invent completely new personas.

Never let anyone ever tell anyone what you own or how much money you have/make.

You had nothing so you know what it's like and your biggest fear is ending up like that again, I get it.

When your poor as fuck life sucks and you can't do anything

>>385892250
I just did some really dumb things with money involving friends that should have never been involved in my plans in the first place. Trust that should never have been give. Believing in skills and credentials that ultimately just weren't there. Fucking don't trust my so much as my dog anymore (but I'm working on getting better).

>>385885802
Games do not exist separately from reality.
They're as real as a game of cards or sports.

And if someone has a shitty job/social life and videogames give them joy, then it's their merit.

To me, videogames aren't escapism. They're the GOAL.
I don't live to work, I live to play videogames (if not only), and work to support it and other hobbies.

>>385885802
Diverge into other hobbies to get us through the lean times. I collect guns and figures, and I'm teaching myself woodworking and leatherworking. Nothing gets rid of my depression faster than putting 5 rounds of .50 AE onto a paper target.

Go to bed D

I'll just cross that bridge when I get to it. I'm done with thinking about the future. There's no telling what could happen tomorrow. Some people live day by day but I'm living minute by minute at this point. There's just so many bad things that could happen right now in my current life at the drop of a hat and I would rather not think about them. Life is so short already. I'll just adapt the best I can when true misery comes knocking.

>>385885802
When that day comes you just grow up and you learn to use video games to supplement reality, not replace it.

>>385885802
After dropping out of uni I have no career and no future and play video games to escape the reality of it because I'm too poor for drugs.

You want to know what happiness is? It's not just about material possessions, friends and family. It's about being excellent to each other, to give to others.

The heart becomes whole with acts of compassion and humility, you will grow as an individual and encourage others to spread goodness to others.

>>385895378
Then why I still want to kill my fucking self? I have given plenty of my time to help others. They just stab me in the back and leave.
What am I doing wrong.

>>385895672
They stabbed everyone in the back, I'm not exempt. You're expecting something in return, even kindness.

Expect nothing of this, just be a beacon like a candle litting a dark room. Do it for yourself so others can learn from your example.

>>385896046
At least they won't have an excuse to say "i was shit because I was never shown any kindness".
