Can someone help me understand how normies do it? I wagecuck and save 50-66% of my paycheck in order to become a Randy Weaver level NEET in the woods in a few years. How can normies work for 45 years just to buy FunkoPops and Netflix Subscriptions and not off themselves? Is anyone on this board a normie and can inform me?

It all boils down to how people cope in the face of increasingly shitty conditions. Some find temporary solace in cheap Chinese-manufactured consumerist garbage and blatant Jewish propaganda, and other people don’t. That’s all there is to it

>funko pops
only bought two when I was a dumb teen and now all I want to do is shoot .22LR at them for the lols
>netflix subscription
The funny thing is that my parents pay for it and they watch the shit out of it along with my sister
I only go on netflix once in a blue moon if I actually feel like watching anime

Also most young normies work shit jobs and/or live in expensive areas
Because you know safety and good communities are a luxury now.
Good luck on your goal anon

Normies only perceive themselves in the context of their status relationship to everyone else. Their level of self-esteem determines how much status they seek or avoid, but it's 100% status to them

Did you ever think about why they buy funko pops and Netflix subscriptions? It's pure escapism. They work a shitty job, don't enjoy their life and buy things to feel better and have a few moments of detachment from their situation. Then they have to work the job so they can keep buying stuff and the cycle continues. If you can find self-worth and happiness outside of consumerism and be content without escapism you can save money and be happy at the same time. This is difficult though and it will feel like the whole world is working against you to make sure you don't achieve contentedness.

you're talking to the wrong dudes. Used to work at an Officer Selection Office at berkeley. Got protested on the reg by local hippies. Good times. But they should have been protesting the enlisted recruiting station down the street, they were just too dumb to know that, or too lazy to care. The OSO will break it down for you. military was the best decision ever, because being an officer is awesome on so many levels. Still have 2 years left on my GI Bill after a free top ten MBA afterwards, too. Set for life.

I'm not saying buying things is a bad thing, it's just better to buy things which can lead to self-improvement. Taking your example of buying a gun, you might take that to a shooting range and practice using it. You are working on your hand eye coordination and getting out of the house, maybe in the open air and maybe with some friends. This is a positive experience for a variety of reasons and is not escapism, in fact it heightens your active experience of being alive. Buying a gun for self- defense is useful too. On the other hand buying a Netflix subscription or funko pops are escapism and don't lead to an active life or any self-improvement (despite what you may think while watching documentaries on Netflix). The distinction can be confusing but I think it's there. That is my view of buying things, is it useful and will it help me become a better person?

getting a commission is legit if you enjoy your job enough to deal with the BS. you'll have enough money and time to invest and could honestly get away with investing your entire base pay if you are willing to live like an enlisted guy. your bah and bas can pay for your bills if you're willing to.

I think you'd dig an officer lifestyle with a /biz/ mindset. If you buy a house every time you get a new assignment you'll retire with ~7-10 properties all over the world, some of them already paid off by other officers you were renting to.

[Anonymous No.22449843]

thanks any tips on how to try and commission? Can I go off the street to OTS? I’m above average intelligence just based on my life experience and am in good enough shape for everything except special forces basically. I pretty much was thinking exactly that biz mindset! Everyone keeps trying to pressure me to enlist (which I only would for something niche like IT, cyber, or missles) which I only would if shit gets very dodgy in the economy long term (next 3+ years)

In my case I've been going on the 3 year multi-entry tourist visa for 6-month stays, for the past 10 years. I also married a Siberian girl, so that made everything easier... I usually live there over the summer than take a 6 month work contract back in the US over the winter (winters are -40C!). Eventually I have to get residency via the marriage but can't start that until I commit to living there for at least 5 years.

The house is title to my wife, and my father in-law basically took care of it all. He's pretty based. We built this yurt thing together in the yard which is a 2nd kitchen for altay barbeque deeproast. Doggo is happy as well.

Are you sure you're not just gifting a house to your wife while she cucks you during the 6 months you're not in Siberia? Do you speak russian?

My advice to you guys who are complaining about jobs is that sometimes you guys reach for the stars and it doesn't pay off. look at the people here going into finance, comp sci, etc. only to find out its a saturated jewed out market. in reality, sometimes the low hanging fruit are best, and the best example i can think of this are easy sinecures like teaching. teachers in my state earn 80k + in good districts, and all they do is collect scantrons thanks to electronic shit now. i know multiple men who became teachers after becoming disillusioned in their respective industries and now they chill out all day. thats my back up plan personally.

In total, the land and house cost around $13k. Wife and my 2 keedz are currently with me in the US. She has the greencard and my kids have both US and RF passports. By the way Putin gave us $8k for the 2nd kid from the maternity support pension fund, which was used on the house.

Nothing wrong with this normie behaviour, it is human nature, the main problem is how our culture determines status. The values we have in 2020 are completely kiked and completely divide us into egotistical individuals.

Every once in a while I do allow myself to be a normie. Letting myself be a normie every once in a while to let myself remember that the only way normies know how to have fun or entertain themselves is by wasting money. I feel that all these normie activities are just Jewish traps to waste money.
examples of this are:
Bars-sit around and drink expensive shity beer.
Movie theater- watch jew propaganda and eat overpriced cancer corn.
Weed-Pay 10$ to be a lazy nigger for an hour and feel good about it.

Kind of feels like a pathetic existence to me. Now that a think about it. Most wages live for these trivial past times though. it is honestly pretty sad. ..
