Wizards, I'm really uncertain about my situation right now and would like your advice, since this is a matter that I think only you would be able to fully appreciate.
I was a NEET and borderline hikki for about 8 years during my mid-20s. I was very content during that time, because the NEET lifestyle actually suits me very much: I'm extremely introverted and don't crave many material possessions. Because of that, I never sought the social stimulation or the monetary compensation of work.
However, my situation changed and I had to find a job, as my prior source of minimal income disappeared.
I was very fortunate to find a remote job that pays decently, even though I only have a HS degree. I've been in that job for over 5 years now. Due to my aforementioned frugal lifestyle, I was able to save enough money that I think will last me over a decade.
With this in mind, my question is this. My greatest wish right now is to resign from this job and return to being a NEET. It's a question that bothers me every day. However, I fear that this job is sort of a unique opportunity, and that I won't be able to find anything similar, once I run out of money. I even considered doing things like day trading so I can extend the duration of my savings.
What would you do in a scenario like this? Keep your somewhat comfy WFH job or just return to NEEtdom?

Don't get out of your job, unless you amass extreme wealth to a point of be able to live for the rest of your life as a NEET, then it' pointless to quit your job to NEET a few years then not be able to get the good job again, just keep the job as long as possible.

wfh jobs are rare as hens' teeth now, I would keep it.
I wfh part time, 3 days a week. Maybe see if you can do that. Kind of the best of both worlds, and it seems you don't need to work 5 days if you're saving so much.

What kind of work would that be if I may ask? I'll likely drop out of college and I'm looking for work so that my parents don't kick me out.

>>226922>>226818Think about it. A pro-NEET guy abandonning WFH kills the idea of WFH, making NOOOOORMS like ones I went to the same faculties to get even more convinced WFHs are a bad idea.
A WFH-experienced guy can peddle ("from experience!") the idea WFH reduces back pains, neck pains and such by allowing an average Joe to reset your "sit fatigue" or some similar quasi-madeup term.
Real basis is, a person who's big can buy a proper big guy's seat and not a flimsy ("budget!") wheeled chair.

No.226961
>>226959Yes, it's just inputting data from an outside source such as a document or receipt into a computer program. It's very easy work but pays little if that's a concern for you

>>226964I'm not sure why you would think I was larping as a data entry clerk of all things. I worked as one until a year ago. You are right that they do receive a lot of applications, but the entry level job market is at an absolute all-time low right now all over the globe

>>226823>>226824>>226825>>226840Thank you for this, anons. Really. Your advice helped me sorting out my thoughts and making a decision.
I decided to keep my job until I'm able to invest enough money to guarantee permanent NEETdom.
>>226845It's a quality assurance job. I'd rather not go into more detail, but I can tell you that I found it through a freelancing platform called Upwork.
