I recently finished high school and I've been having so much fun! I'm worried I'll have to go to college soon and get my freedom stripped from me again. Maybe even get a j*b in the future. I really just want to do whatever I enjoy instead of working for a porky.
Personally, I'm OK with going to college, because I believe it might help me make new friends (and it's also a temporary facade to convince my family I'm definitely "getting something done with my life") but I absolutely don't want to get a j*b.
How can I achieve the NEET life?

Be gay; get a sugar daddy. Probably take some hormones to stave off twink death so he won't find you gross after 25.

Honestly, what you should do is:
  1. Go to college (for something that you think will be economically viable)
  2. After you graduate, find a job and start stacking paper; don't spend on any unnecessary trivialities and manage your money well.
  3. After 15 or so years, you'll be set to retire early, after which you can downswing into a more lax lifestyle.

You'll have to still work for porky, but you won't have to do it for 40 years or something, roughly half that if you play your cards right. Definitely don't get married or have children, those things will severely eat into your earnings. I'm telling you because I wish someone would've told me this when I was 18 or so. Nobody told me shit.

For your own good, take this opportunity to use the time you have to set yourself up financially. Once you're comfortable, you can worry about NEETmaxxing. Being a NEET is miserable without the right environment + enough money to keep you living comfortably. If you're 18, you can achieve this by the time you're 30.

I wish i could br this young again
I want to cry
I will drink tonight

NEETing isn’t as glamorous as you think it is.
Unless you’re witty and good looking, you’re just gonna rot

Also, you’re throwing away your youth.
NEETs are just as much a victim of porky as wage slaves are.

>>1934
Can you name any college degrees that are economically viable and will have people living cushy for the rest of their lives?
I’ve yet to find any.

>>1934
>Being a NEET is miserable without the right environment + enough money to keep you living comfortably.
What is the right environment?
>>1935
In 10 years you'll be wishing it was 2026 again. Don't drink your life away, Anonymous.

>Trust me, if you don´t work for porky you're just gonna rot. You need porky to give you a purpose in life.
Never really understood this.

>>1938
>Never really understood this.

You’re choosing to mooch off off porky which is part of the system
The whole “skip the grind and just mooch off” is another trap just like the “get the bag” philosophy.

Neeting is alright if you got resources but you usually have to work a bit to have that or have a rich family or maybe get gibs from the government and not be frivolous with those funds and not have any major bills to pay. Most neets from what I see are mentally unwell or came from very dysfunctional households and that's a big reason many become neets. Working and school may potentially be very unpleasant to you if you're in that type of situation. But everyone is different.

So you admit that you think college is just a social club to get lucky like it’s still the baby boomer era.
No respect for these types

Idk why it’s ok to have anti work but god forbid anti school

The whole “I don’t wanna contribute to porky” is just an excuse to be lazy.
NEETs will still choose to run away from work if they were pulled out of a capitalist society.

Irony is, capitalism is the only system NEETs can and want to survive in.

I still don't get it. How is it a trap?
>>1940
>are mentally unwell or came from very dysfunctional
I have autism and my parents are getting divorced if that counts.
>>1941
What am I supposed to expect?

>>1945
>What am I supposed to expect?

Well you mentioned you have autism so that’s definitely a strike against any social prospects

Also college isn’t like what the movies and TV show you. All the wild parties and colorblindness and creative misadventures are for a bygone era and even then it was only for a minority of people

College is gonna be a lot of paperwork. Any social functions is just gonna be people standing around making shallow pleasantries.

Study groups are gonna be the closest thing to social life you’re gonna have.
There’s activity groups but they require that you actually care about getting fit.

>I still don't get it. How is it a trap?


Porky knows that people like you aren’t gonna wanna work so of course they will keep you fed on platitudes of avoiding work and consuming lumpen pleasures.

Why else do corner stores make money off of druggies and gamblers

>living cushy for the rest of their lives
Doesn't have to be that, you can go to a technical college to learn how to weld, how to install HVAC, join the medical field, become a pharmacist, I don't know. You have to do your own research, but these sorts of vocations are going to pay more than working at McPorky's, which is the fate you should try to avoid.
>>1938
>What is the right environment
Creature comforts alongside enough money to be independent. The moment you're dependent on someone else (a friend, a family member, a spouse, etc) you've lost the game. Ideally, you could find a way to work from home and try to mesh your daily NEETmaxxing routine with your job. That's the real golden ticket, because then you can play vidya, listen to podcasts, whatever else in between your job, plus you cut out certain expenses, like money you need to fuel your car in order to arrive at work.

>>1933
this sounds kind of based except modt rich men are sociopaths who probably want to torture you

>>1948
Not true
Unless you mean the mega billionaire elite
Most rich people are rather invisible and probably don’t indulge as much as pop culture likes you to believe

Don’t you know that Leftypol says trades are for lumpen? They think college degrees are the only way to the good life

This.
The ultimate goal in life is to be leisurely while independent. Fuck all that bullshit about “changing the world”
That’s the biggest trap ever sold by porky

Same shit.
I think becoming a rentier is the best option. Though, I don't have an opportunity at all. I won't get my inheritance soon and even if I do, it's quite small and has low volatility. I won't be able to sell it.
The second option is… living with my parents on their money. Like any NEET does. My family don't hate me, so this option seems possible. If you're an amerimutt and your family can afford college you might as well be a NEET.

it doesn't get better
I have all the money in the world, but no time or motivation for hobbies

>>1952
How come you don't help the third world then

>>1953
I AM in the third world.
well, second world

it's plenty of money to consooom and play with toys, I don't think it's enough to make a big impact though

>>1952
It’s better to have a lot of money and have no motivation for hobbies
Rather than having no money but have motivation for hobbies

Hobbies are time consuming and expensive

Thanks for the advice, uyghas. You're all really nice.
