How can people be fine with working 8+ hours every week for the rest of their adult lives? Here I am a 27 yr old NEET who reads all day, living the best life. Just messing around with stocks and investments lol. You should read more books on how to handle money so you can be like me.

Your not a real NEET. You are a potential beneficiary and your capital contributions benefit the system and reward you with dividends and arbitrage in pursuit of buying low and selling high. Real NEETs are those where the system contributes to them, id est, by means of welfare. The SSI basket case taking in $750 a month and $250 a month from food stamps is a real NEET and leech to wagies whereas you are their benefactor. I am in the same category as you but still, we must call a spade and spade and we do not conform to the mold of true NEEThood.

Do you have enough money in order to do what you REALLY WANT TO DO?
If this is true then fine.
I mean, it really sucks being in your parent's house after a while. I don't feel MINE, I don't have space, I'm not confortable here anymore.
I figured I didn't hate life INTRINSICALLY I only hate this way of living.
There's a whole world out there and so much more interesting stuff to spend my time with. And I still think I might be happy in some kinds of jobs and I don't lack the passion for an endeavor like so many NEETs seem to do.
I'm out for a half-period comfy job. The paying is little but is enough. It might be BEARABLE.
Unfortunatelly, Covid hit and messed up my plans. Now I'm in the middle between neetdom and my purpose.

That's like asking why a pack mule is okay with being used, most people are simply born as creatures of labour with simple intelect and lesser souls.

I would like to live a simple life. I need less money than my acquaintances seem to need, so why should I spend that much time for earning what I don't need?
>I don't feel MINE
I don't care. All I need is a room, then I can always go out when I feel like it.

What are your passions? I assume literature?

Where does your money come from?
Do you have stocks?

>I don't care. All I need is a room
The thing is, I DON'T even have a room, anon. I have to share it with 2 other people (relatives). They're loud as fuck and are continously brawling with each other. There's often screams and no silence whatsoever. I can't have PEACE in this place.
I'm moving out!

Also, it won't be fun when I become a grown man in my forties and still relying on mommy's money to survive.
That joke won't be fun anymore, believe it!
To most of us this way of life is NOT sustentable.

Yes, but not that much.

This is a different matter then. I couldn't stand it and do something too.

>Also, it won't be fun when I become a grown man in my forties and still relying on mommy's money to survive.

This doesn't bother me that much, at least now.

Anyway good luck anon, hope you get out of this situation with your relatives and find peace

I’ve pretty much snapped and I’m maybe a month away max from quitting my office job and never working one again. No he thing is, I’m about to have my cost of living plummet to near zero and I do wonder if I should just go to part time to bank the savings.

You should work because you have to and it’s really that simple. In an ideal world, you would have to work but in this not-ideal world, sometimes some people don’t have to. if you find yourself not having to work, there is no reason you should work and so you shouldn’t.
