you should dabble in some anti-anxiety meds. JMO, YMMV but I think $400k/year is worth having altered brain chemistry.
i should check that out, i've been sober since birth

I guess I'm too old, or just out of touch, but this thread is the first time I heard the term "NEET".

Other than mooching of Mom and Dad, how do people afford being a NEET?

I'm with you. And regardless of how you get by, don't you feel bad about mooching off others and not contributing?

And I just learned what NEET meant a couple months ago.

NEETs deserve nothing but contempt.

The absolute hubris to live that way with zero guilt or shame is gross.
I'm not going to go as far as to say that, as everyone's situation is different.

There could be physical/mental limitations or other scenarios that have caused this situation to be what it is.

I guess as someone that has been working on a regular basis from the time he was 16 (I'm now 43) I just couldn't see myself living like that. Even if I were to win the lotto and didn't have to work, I'd still have some sort of a job to keep me busy.

I don't hate you. I am only wondering why you choose to live that way considering you can get a job (I have seen your posts). Don't you feel guilty for mooching off your parents?

I'm on disability but I still live with my parents, I do feel guilty sometimes, but I'm sure they feel guilty for shit they've done to me so there is some give and get.

And you might not hate me but clearly a lot of others users do

No hate here, everyone has their story and their reason for why things are the way they are.

I just have a tough time understanding the "lifestyle". It would just bother me way too much to wake up every morning with literally no obligations.

There's no retired option, nor disability, so that last option is probably misleading.

I think lots of people default to that lifestyle when there is no work. After a while you just get used to it. But it does get boring and stuff.

I have pay stubs and pics of myself, don't test me. I don't have a problem with welfare and even disability in some fringe cases tbh. I am a lifelong Democrat and feel that the middle class has gotten a raw deal for generations now. Some of my best friends are on SSDI tbh, and many of them still play certain video games with me at times (Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, that sorta thing).

Like I said, I don't really mind if you're on SSDI since the middle class was decimated imo by Reagan as well as the Republican caucus of Congress from about 2010 onward. I have no issue with my tax dollars going to support my fellow Americans through the SSDI program. "Disability" can take many forms both physical and metaphysical imho.

Look I'll agree with you that the PS2 clientele is superior and the larger install base gives me more potential playmates. I just have nostalgia for PD as a bonding ritual with many of my friends who happen to be on SSDI.

The numbers dropped a bit to reflect more of what general population is probably right now. Two other factors I forgot;

Many places are struggle to hire because its more mainstream to not work for under paid gigs, people would rather be at home then be underpaid at places not even offering living wage. I think a lot of people trolled the poll to make GameFAQs look bad as well

Lolz i'm basically collecting unemployment and been doing it for over a year by now.

Why go back to work when I literally get more $$$$$ by staying home and playing games? Where I live, many businesses are closing down because lack of workers. And i don't blame the workers themselves.

Blows my mind that I used to work over 50 hours for a year in restaurants, and still made less $$$$ than today where i'm sitting home and playing games lmao. And no... I don't care about the "huuurr duuur you're not contributing to society! huurr duuur".
