>realize that retirement is just choosing to become NEET

Why to wagies and boomers look down on NEETs when NEET is ultimately the end goal for about 90% of the population?

It's just a rationalization.

If your average person found 100 million in their bank account they would become a NEET immediately.

Because they feel for the society meme and worked their youth away and regret wasting their true golden years slaving away for mr shekelstein.

I think people are waking up to this. Automation threats and economic slowdown makes an early retirement more desirable.

But the ire that NEETs get are related to the fact that when we say NEET, people usually think of a zero net worth leech who just doesn't 'feel like' working and lives in mom's basement.

you're worth more than whats in your bank account.

your youth is worth more than any job. Think about it. What is an old person going to do with money anyway? Brag about his new cadallac at the rest home? No one gives a shit.

why prolong old age? your good years are already behind you.

is sitting a few more years watching daytime tv in the nursing home really that important?

people will make fun of you, but your 100℅ correct. the vast majority of people work because they have to to survive or to fill some need that is probably compelled by mental illness. i am getting a doctorate, free ride with six figure salary expected and i still fantasize about dropping out and neeting everyday

>> No.1834265

All the NEETs I know are depressed manchildren who just don't have any motivation to work.
If you're a NEET who's actually happy with his life I don't have anything against you. Even better, if you do something productive in your free time I don't even consider you a NEET.

But I know that most people, including me, would amount to almost nothing if they don't live in a working enviroment with some form of pressure. Only resulting in a unproductive self-loathing leech of society.

Do it. Almost half of that six figures will go to Laqueesha and her 5 kids anyway.

wagecucks are spiteful because they assume their taxes pay for welfare whores and lazy bums.

also many are entitled financial retards that don't understand why they have to work 3 jobs while others are NEET

retirement or the ultimate endgoal as you put it is a meme in itself, like the carrot on the end of a stick. people just self delude themselves as a response to the inevitability of old age and death. they make up terms like "golden years" and spend a lot of time dreaming about what they'll do in the future as they slowly get their soul sucked out.

>> No.1834382

Most wage cucks i know are fucking super retarded when it comes to finances. They all drive un-paid for new cars and work at jobs that pay like $10 an hour. They have no money. No savings. Work 40 hour weeks.

They will literally be old before their loans are paid off.
