Are NEETs playing us all?

You guys always talk about gaming the system and making money work for you instead of the other way around, playing the stock market etc etc. But how many of you are actually successful doing those things? Chances are if you're on Veeky Forums then you're still at the bottom of that ladder and the odds of you ever going any further than that are very slim. It's risky business and I bet it mentally degrades you with the stress. I know some of you have been for for years and years and your life situation is largely the same as it was before.

NEETs on the other hand are taking Veeky Forums concepts to their maximum conclusion, which is forcing society to work for them and turning over enough profit to stay at home and do whatever they want e.g. complete freedom. example Martin Shkreli. The guy has millions and all he does is sit at home all day, but even Martin is a sucker considering all the effort he had to put in compared to your average NEET who only jumped through a few hoops to get their bucks, yet they live extremely comparable lives.

As a NEET you learn to become one with yourself and with your surroundings, it's almost like a form of Buddhism. You begin to appreciate the simpler things in life. NEETs arguably have the greatest understanding of economics when you consider these facts.

OP, the internet has changed so much that NEETS can earn money without going outside.. Take a look around you.. RH and Shitcoin shill threads galore every month just like clockwork. Most are just perpetrated by NEETs with too much spare time, wanting to make a quick buck.

Im a NEET and have $50,000 in my war chest ready to make a killing in the markets..Im patient, just waiting for the right time to enter a hype / pump

Buy high, sell low

How the fuck do i become a NEET in Canada, do any anons know?

>forcing society to work for them
Sure thing buddy, if you think those $500/mo means society is working for you. Don't want to ruin the only delusion that prevents you from killing yourself.

>$500/month
my NEETbux gives me 2k a month, plus that's not even counting EBT/food stamps which gives me 50/week to eat food, which is more than enough for me.

Just get a rich mummy.......

If being a neet is so great, why are they all so depressed and want to kill themselves?

Here's the thing about the NEET lifestyle, though, coming from a former NEET. It's great and all if you can manage to jump through the hoops and get into the system to get the money you need to maintain that lifestyle. Hell, who wouldn't love spending all their time staying at home, and just playing video games all day and not having any responsibility?

But it's ultimately a lifestyle that actually leaves you at the mercy of forces outside of your control. If you make less than a livable wage where you live, you're practically forced to live off of the charity of your parents or other family members just to have a roof over your head and food in your belly. Once that safety net is gone, what are you going to do?

Even IF you manage to earn enough NEETbucks to live comfortably at the end of each month, you're at the mercy of the government and their whims. They think you're cheating the system? They'll review your case. They really want to make an example of you? They'll nail your balls to the wall with a fraud case. Conservatives in office want to cut welfare? Good luck, you're making less now. You're essentially the government's slave.

And once all of those fall out from under you. What are you going to do? You don't have any marketable skills, so finding a job is next to impossible. You don't have any work history. You'll have practically nothing till you can somehow find a way to get back on the system.

The NEET lifestyle is great, yea. But once you don't have any safety nets to keep safe, and you're off the system, you're going to be dangerously close to homelessness.

>dangerously close to homelessness.
I'll just kill myself in that case.

So how did you unNEET yourself? I'm fearful I'm heading down the road you just described.

Except I don't play video games, and I hate staying at home. That's why I go hang out with friends 4 nights a week.

the more the economy is getting fucked, the more welfare systems will pop up.

that's literally it. if you really think NEETS can get a job anyhow your'e delusional.
someone with no connection or skills can't move anywhere, for some of them its too late.

gotta also face the facts and realize the job market is brutal, you have plenty of accredited people looking for work

Literally just get a job and actively work on improving yourself.

What more is there to it?

Working out what needs the most immediate self-improvement?
Swallowing your pride and working in a shitty labor job or data entry, even if it's just to earn money and get yourself a work ethic again?

Sure.

What I'm saying is striving for more, always.

If you're a neet then work in a factory, afterwards look for opportunities to move up, or another job, or an education opportunity, whatever. Always be doing something, but then also always be trying to do MORE.

Work a shit job, learn the tasks and responsibilities of your position, but then also your bosses' responsibilities. Learn it all. Even if just for the sake of knowing more.

Do this and you'll be successful.

It's so easy, there's nothing to it. Just hard work.

I unNEETed myself actually by force. After a situation that happened where my safety net was pulled out from under me, and my NEETbux weren't paying the bills I tried to look for a job.

Except, I couldn't get hired because I was 26 and worked 1 job for a summer at a grocery store when I was 16.

So I had to turn to the only thing I had: The internet. And just now do a shitton of Internet work with some offline work occasionally. Then I started to make enough to pay the bills I needed paid, but then the government saw I was MAKING money and cut my NEETcash. Which only made me have to work harder.

Now I just pretty much spend my time working on marketable skills and pretend I'm a business made up of one man. Worked somewhat, I work in an office building part time doing diddley squat and still work on my internet stuff. So tt's not too bad.

Fucking nigger GET A JOB

>Literally just get a job and actively work on improving yourself.

Why the fuck would we be fucking slaves working for a white man when we'n getting stuff n livin life on our own terms?

Learn to exploit EBT and the system and you can live a pretty good life and you aint answer to nobody.

Holy shit where do you live

Once the handouts run out though, you're fucked. Don't think it won't happen (or come with another price, like volunteer work, etc) given pretty much every welfare state in the world has a growing aging population. The financial stress of paying for elderly people (their pensions and medical needs) will push NEETbucks to the bare minimum. Or should socialist become less "democratic" you may find yourself in a work camp. Best case scenario, you'll end up like the protagonist in Sinclair's "The Jungle": a useless idiot for a revolutionary party where you professionally protest for whatever scraps the next Soros decides to give you.

Being a NEET is pathetic. You essentially become a parasite.

>99.9% of NEETs are self loathing
>Though they get NEET bucks it never enough so they have to parasite off others
>They don't self improve or write songs or poetry
>They shut down mentally, masturbate, then sleep so the day goes by
>When they do think it's about all the shit they're missing out on and suicide

Can you tell us more about what kind of internet work you were doing in the beginning?

>As a NEET you learn to become one with yourself and with your surroundings, it's almost like a form of Buddhism. You begin to appreciate the simpler things in life. NEETs arguably have the greatest understanding of economics when you consider these facts.

Sure
And then literally 10 years fly by you and you wonder what you have done to your life.
Then you try to scramble to pick up the pieces.

Glad to be part of the god teir. Comfortable support myself with my hobby. Average 25k a month playing with heavy machinery.

I wish I could luck out and make money on the internet with amazon fba, cpa, a blog or a youtube channel but i dont see how due luck law.

...

(Doubt)
Newly neet here feels comfy on unemployment

I think it's just human nature, most people hate their lives and want to kill themselves but are caught in their day to day routine to not really think about it much, on Friday to Sunday they drink and do drugs to forget about how life really sucks. NEETs on the other hand have so much time on their hand and do so little with it that they become little philosophers on their own, they think about their current and former life a lot so they're very aware of how much their life sucks and how much they want to kill themselves.

Few people are truly happy.

>most people hate their lives and want to kill themselves but are caught in their day to day routine to not really think about it much

This. When I'm at work, I'm so busy that I don't even think about how much I hate my life or whether I should kill myself. Keeping busy keeps you from putting that gun in your mouth.

>It's just human nature to want to kill yourself

You are projecting your mental illness. This is not fucking normal.

The welfare system in America isn't generous to single males.

The only way realistic way to be a single male NEET in America is to leech off your parents or be independently wealthy.

Sad truth I'm young and on a good path. I've been through hell and sacrificed a lot to be in a position where as cheesy as it sounds "opportunity and skill= luck" I'm 20 and no one my age really gets it, they all seem like rats on a little treadmill. I work with 30+ Year old successful people. Tired of boning and too busy for relationship. Veeky Forums allows me to be in an environment where immaturity is at least met with some sort of humour mixed with ambitious somewhat like minded people so yea. What a colleague told me was (in regards to your reverence for neets) "you see that man? He adjust his life to fit his income. He dosesnt live the life he wants because he must adjust, he must settle to the life he has been given, he won't realise it because this is what allows him to be happy"

It's not generous to anyone, period. and it shouldn't be.
