This forum pushes me closer to becoming a NEET

[Jason Voorhees]

Title: Tbh I was raised by my parents to fight for everything to study hard, land a good job and build a successful life To them success meant stability, money, and respect. And I’ve carried that mindset with me all along

But every time I log onto the forum, I see people glorifying the NEET lifestyle living stress-free, detached from the grind, and seemingly content. Honestly, I’m jealous of people like @optimisticzoomer who can live that way without a hint of anxiety.

The thing is, I could do it too. My dad is rich and my family has multiple income sources I could retire to live a comfortable life right now if I somehow convince my parents and if I really wanted to but after working so hard for my degree and everything it feels like it would be a disservice to myself and my parents to just give it all up and rot away

Neetmaxxing is a white nigga thing. Usually ethnic parents will kick there kids out off the house as soon as there 18

That is white people thing I feel. Ethnic parents will let you stay in for as long as possible. Kicking people to the curb as soon as they turn 18 is something I only saw in america

 

[optimisticzoomer]

It’s the opposite
Ethnics stay in the family home until they marry, or indefinitely, like @JohnDoe (council house in this case)
White parents try and get their kids to move out

British parents do that too? My American friend got kicked out at 18 and had to pay for college himself. He is in mountains of debt that will take him like 7-8 years to clear

I am currently living in a place that you would like a lot I think

I currently live in a very isolated place

Barely anyone lives nearby The nearest ration shop is about 5 kilometers away, and the closest supermarket nearly 15. For anything beyond the basics, you'll need to head into the city. I'm tucked deep in the interior regions of southern India after a 20-25 km drive to the right the houses fade...

Listen to that forum for advice on looks and be selective even there.
But not for life advice jfl. At least not from 99% of users.
Most are either teenagers with 0 life experience or adults who don't live the type of life I personally aim to live.

Also neet life sucks because it increases chances of becoming a social outcast, will destroy your self worth over time and leads to a shitty lifestyle for most.

I was NEET 3 years ago for a few minths and it destroyed me but I also had a sit lifestyle and did not have a good routine

I was never an actual neet but during covid lockdowns I lived the neet lifestyle at my parents place for a while. It sucks, you dissociate from the world around you. And I consider myself a very determined person. For most it'll lead to even worse outcomes.

 

[PlzEndIt]

In certain western countries, there's no benefit to working. Take England, for example. People on max disability benefits and NEETbux have more disposable income than a worker earning £50k/year (around $70k) after rent and taxes. It's brutal, and a £50k salary puts one in the top 20% of earners in this country.

Single mothers with no skills or expertise can clear £100k by claiming all five of their children are disabled and getting paid for each. The UK is a joke.

@dawooddX thoughs?

i saw u moved back to ur childhood town or wtever,

This is the one thing I do not understand about rich Indians aspiring to come to the West and be well-paid worker drones.

Back in your parents' generation, you didn't become rich by being a middle manager at a company or partner at a law firm, like you could in the West, you had to actually start a business, own land, or be involved in politics and enrich yourself through nepotism and corruption.

Why wouldn't you want to use your family's connections and wealth and try to build it into something bigger? Do you have a lot of older siblings who've already laid a claim on the family business?

As much as people meme the "India SupaPowa 2030" slogan, the country has consistently had close to double-digit GDP growth and the largest population on earth. As China, with its increase in living standards, is becoming too expensive as a manufacturing hub, the world will need to pivot to somewhere else. African's aren't educated and have no work ethic, so it has to be India's turn to industrialize. Why wouldn't you seize that opportunity?

My choices aren't really about rejecting the potential to scale up family wealth it's more about what motivates me. Sure my family has a lot of land but. What tf am I going to do with it. Just giving it out to rent and making a living off it is so boring.

I see the logic in India's growth story and industrial potential but I personally don't like India's research culture and tech industry. I've already made threads about both.

One thing I truly appreciate about American Universities

I remember walking into the Gates Computer Science Building on my tour of Stanford and seeing undergrads casually running complex simulations on a million dollar supercomputer cluster for their CS projects no special permissions needed. I let out an almost audible WTF. In curryland even to...

Indian Tech scene is so depressing tbh

This is micromax. In the early 2000s it was one of the biggest smartphone companies in the world. In the top 10 with more than 100 billion dollars in revenue with practically unlimited R and D budget but what did they do with so much money. Just bought cheap ass phones from china and sold it in...

Sell some land and get into manufacturing. India's strength is its population size, not the tech sector.

I don't see what's motivating about being the 100,000s back end developer at boring cash cow FAANG companies who aren't really innovating anymore.

My dad actually proposed wanting to start a hotel once. Even I want to get into something similar and start a business soon.

Sometimes I wonder if I should just open a hotel or gas station tbh

Title. Constant passive income and barely any work. Could neet for life easily.

Those things will happen to you anyway as a wageslave.

My degree has no viable career path to make a lot of money so for me it does make sense to quit my job after surgery and try to find some less stressful ways to make money than wageslaving. The job isn’t inherently stressful but as an introvert it’s hard and I am constantly in a negative comparison with the normies who are far more successful in life due to having a much less rocky start.

Even if I can make £12500 a year (the tax free amount for the UK) it will be plenty for me. I value a low cortisol life far more than the extra £20k on top of that that I get (after tax) in a full time job. I will inherit quite a lot of stuff though when I am 50-60 so I don’t really have to think very long term either about pensions and shit. If we even get there without AI singularity.

@Jason Voorhees has a much better degree than me with potentially crazy earning potential so it’s not as clear cut.

The barrier of entry in tech is high but once you're in, the pay to stress ratio can be good if you pick your roles carefully. A lot of people work remote, and have tons of flexibility especially if you're in backend, DevOps like me or cloud roles. I have seen people making £60k-£100k+ in London right from the get go within 2-3 years

And if you plan it right, you can coast with contract work or 6-9 month gigs then take breaks in between that is also common.

I don't know your personal situation, but neet lifestyle is cortisol inducing. At least for me.

People around you will life mog you. People who you went to school with will post their accomplishments, while you watch from your old childhood bedroom.

Unless you're giga chad, being a neet with no visible ambitions will also nuke your chances with women. It'll be harder to make friends as well.
Also your life will probably become a cycle of YouTube, rotting on forums, gaming, jerking off and maybe occasionally going to the gym.

Unless you have a clear cut plan for what you want to do instead of the normie wage life, I think most are better off with that.

Learned helplessness and feeling sorry for your starting position isn't going to help you. Either you are unhappy with your situation, analyze the reasons for that, demonstrate the will to change and then execute, or you'll just slowly wither away.
