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.

>>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.

If you have a job you can afford to move out of your parents house. That is a big deal. Seems like a mixed bag for quality of life. On one hand, living with your parents is hell, on the other hand though it does cut down on the absolute loneliness of living alone and not having to work is a huge quality of life boost. I say look at your income and determine how much it would cost you to be able to buy a cheap house of your own plus enough savings to live off the interest. Do the FIRE thing. If you need a modest life you can do it much quicker than most people.

>>226818This is a very old thread but anyways:
I would stay in the job for at least 5 more years and then become a neet, doing my best in it in those 5 years of course; im using your situation.
Truly, i would never quit it.
