I want to NEET but same problem as you: no NEETbux. Theoretically, I can quit my job and announce to my parents that now they have to support me. I mean, sorry, you birthed me, now deal with the fallout of your sexhaver choices. Etc etc.
But I took out a small loan (medical emergency) and because of that I need to slave away for some time now. Maybe when I'm done with it I can quit my job. Until now, I'm a wagie.

I am a N.E.E.T from Russia, in all honesty I would rather be a homeless living off bread and water over being a modern day slave and I know what I am talking about since I have experienced both lifestyles.

Anyone that wants to live somewhat free and preserve their humanity will probably have to make a choice like that soon unless you're smart or lucky and rich

I can kind of see all the doors closing or the somewhat hidden escape routes becoming inaccessible for anyone trying to escape servitude, but maybe there are ways to get out that I'm not aware of

Some people have gotten rich in really unexpected ways

In one of my previous workplaces everyone had some escape plan, most people I talked to thought it was crypto currencies but I'm wary of those

How do you autists survive if you cant afford ear protection etc?

I survived because my parents are keeping me alive and when they stop I am fucked. I have zero escape plan.

>>322979
Why, I can! I fixed my windows, turns out I *need* to jam a piece of cardboard in my faulty wooden window to prevent a bass-boosted noise (the frame resonates with street buses, aparently).

Oh wait I am not a diagnosed autist though. No neetbux for me.

>>322979
What autists? Where?

>>322979
Non-Whites can't be autistic, it's impossible, intorverted? sure but autistic? it's an Aryan thing

>>322988
88 GET
>but autistic? it's an Aryan thing

>>322988
third worlder doesn’t automatically mean non-white

If you're a NEET you cant suffer. unless you are unhealthy or your family is too poor to get you food and keep a roof over yur head. I work on shitty job in 3rd world JUST to not die from starving and paying my bills. I wish to be a NEET.

>>322972
I have not been homeless before but I refuse to believe it's a bad as they make it out to be

>>323006
I'm following two channels of homeless dudes and they're pretty happy, probably happier than the average wageslave I'd say, but yeah don't know how many people would be able to survive it, you need a strong spirit

>>323007
Must be a subjective thing, I too have seen homeless people who looked happy and content, I even spoke to them about their lives, I know some of them can have connections and money (not enough to pay rent but still) just like how there are people who live in nice houses and have money and people who live in shitty houses and have little to no money

>>323008
Another channel I'm following is a guy who lives in his suv so not totally homeless I'd say as at least he's got somewhere to sleep and use as a base

But he's probably the happiest out of the people who are homeless, I think having to carry everything you have on your back is more stressful

>>323030
Not a Thirdie but I am NEET who is preparing for the homeless life, currently I am almost 40 and I gave up on getting a job, I have almost no money the last amount I had was used for me to buy a pair of sports shoes and a tent, it's simply inevitable for me, I do exposure therapy where I sleep outside everyonce in a while in order to make my mind used to that lifestyle and not fear it too much, I also walk long distances every single day, hence why I bought a pair of sports shoes, homelesness implies the need to walk long distances daily to find food, so I am making my body used to such thing already while I can, I accept my fate and I am preparing for it.

>>322988
Cringe ive known plenty of lv 2/3's poc vs "aspergers" whites

How the hell do you survive as a NEET in that part of the globe? I am from the first world and without NEETbux it's very very difficult to make your family support you for longer than 1 years or 2, I have heard of some third world NEETs whom their families have been supporting them for long years, maybe they are really wealthy for their national standards.

I wageslaved for a year at a gas station for 280 U.S.D a month, it was a hell on earth.

>>323051
Some of us fucked up and are barely getting neetbux at 40, a neet had an SSI case going 8 years

It's a hell on earth.

>>323033
Genuine question, if you're unable to get enough gibs to house yourself or find employment, then what is the point in living? I cannot think of a worse situation than what you just described. Why would you want to cling onto such a meaningless existence? At least as a NEET living with their parents or off the government you can live a hedonistic relaxed life, but constantly walking and living like that just sounds like torture. I'd rather be in prison because I feel liek that would be more stimulating than whatever you plan on doing.

i'm just glad i don't have to see and interact with retarded normalfags every day
that's worth almost anything

I'm a first world neet but my unemployment benefits will stop soon and then it's time to rope.
I don't know where this believe among third worlders comes from, you can get unlimited neetbux in first world. This only exists in a couple of specific welfare countries like certain Scandinavian nations.

>>323929
Yeah New Zealand is in the process of pushing people off NEETbux now. We were in the Scandinavian box before but it seems we're being shifted to where Spain and Italy are.

There's genuinely a developing NEET crisis in the west, it's something like 20% of 18-24 year olds literally doing nothing now lol. Not even going to school/uni, just no work. The local government extrapolated the increase since Covid and seen that by the 2030s it'd completely collapse the system. What's more worrying for the government is that once a NEET, always a NEET seems to be the thing. It's a sticky habit.

>>323930
>NEET crisis
This is just a new label to mistify jobs don't pay enough in the west. They made the system unattractive for the average person and are now implying it is anything else but people opting out.
I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.

>>323931
>I don't believe it's part of some plan either, just pushing away any responsibility or even consideration of the system failing.
Most of the people calling the shots are hoping they can kick the can down the road long enough that they'll be dead before they suffer any consequences. Those that aren't that old are wealthy enough to flee to another country, and for the super wealthy have some sort of 'ride out the apocalypse' bunker hidden somewhere.

>>323932
I doubt they will suffer any consequences, or that we will get a sudden collapse or climax to this decline.
The slow rotting, disengagement of the masses with the system, population decline and so on will continue indefinitely.
It took a very long time after the fall of the Roman Empire before something on the same level of civilisation appeared again.
People can and will go back to a more miserable way of living, especially normies.

>>323051
It's very simple you live with your parents and you let your family abuse the shit out of you and taunt you every step of the way, 'tis the Thridie Way. In winters though things get a lot more bearable and you're able to get comfy inside a blanket, summers though are absolutely hellish.
>>323648
Well Prisons are also notorious for simulating human holes.

any thirdies living in firsties country,?

>>324202
Moved from "gritty town" setting to a "metropolis" setting, still have a clutch onto my gritty mindset.

Well, brother-in-magic for what it's worth and if it makes you any happy you have done very well for yourself at least you have managed to earn 200USD a month at some point in your life.

As for me brother, I have to be honest with you, I have no idea how life went down the way it did, I am pushing 24 now. I, back in my teenage days used to dream about family and all that, now of course females are not something that I can get, I realised that a long ago, and I have began my path to be at peace with that. Which is what brought me here in the first place.

I have to be honest with you, I can't let everything fully-go, every single time there is a family reunion, a party, or when I see the former school peers of mine on social media or somewhere, even if we don't account for their wives, they have done so well for themselves.

They have managed to get jobs, cars, etc. for them, they have become (most importantly) free, they have financial independence, they actually have a future, what is my future? I am trying and trying and trying to get jobs, but perhaps I have not been trying enough I don't have any notable skills, I got a Bachelor's Degree but it is of absolutely no use and people are just so far ahead of me in life it's crazy.

LIfe has become unsurvivable, while no one around me says anything like "Oh you're unemployed, you're loser", but there is this silence which is very loud where they just by their existence make me realise that I am a loser, even if they offer words of encouragement (which I am grateful for to be honest) but this is what the truth is. Just by being there I feel ashamed, I want to go out but I can't because I will be treated like crap.

I am not very good with English Language nor am I very good at elaborating things, I feel like my mental faculties are declining. But I will say this, it is a genuinely dystopian feeling for me, I break-down in tears randomly at this point anywhere, while eating breakfast, while just taking a stroll in the little balcony, I just sometimes can't keep it contained. I hate that I have no future. I hate that this is what it's going to be, I hate going out of the house and seeing people have stuff that I could never afford.

I understand that materialism and consumerism aren't very good, but to some extent they represent a certain degree of achievement in terms of being independent for me, My Birthday just went by recently, and I have to say, I hate it, every passing year is a reminder of how I have wasted one (more) of my precious years about how I am a massive failure. I still deep down find it very very hard to accept that I will never have a job, a car, even a place that I can pay rent for, let alone having a family. And of course if my parents kick me out, well, my entire game is completely over.

Every single day I feel dread, at this point, I think I should've gotten used to it, but I haven't somehow it pains more and more each passing day. I took the calendar off of the wall of my room cause it reminds me of how much of an abject failure I am. I truly hate my life. Sorry for incoherence cause I am drunk today after 3 months. I have no idea what I just wrote.

Not a 3rd world here but close. I too worked for about 200 USD/month, 6 days a week, 12 hours a day + time wasted on transport.
Turning point for me was when I paid my monthly wage to cover a restaurant paycheck, and I had to almost bend on my knees to ask my boss to give me a day off so I could celebrate my grandma's birthday. I got yelled, and put in a stressful situation if I did something wrong, and some of my co-workers were just unpleasant people.
Then you see someone on social media or somewhere else that in one go spend more than you'd earn in months working your ass off while feeling like a miserable worm, and they won't even think about it. It destroys every last drop of hope you may have had. You can't even save up even if you starve and count every penny. One bad day and you're back to zero.
It was a cold shower on my naive teenage worldview that you can become rich if you work hard and be a good boy. If you're like me you're doomed to poorness and a miserable life, and there is nothing I could've done with it from the beginning. Being a NEET and living off my parents is the best possible option I have. I sometimes feel bad for being such a useless son with no future for them, but I don't believe that I can do anything to change that. Real world is genuinely too horrible, I just can't be part of it without going insane.

>>324566
how are you not a third worlder if you worked full time for 200 USD a month? that’s third world wages and 6 days a week is the classical shit hole worker abuse

>>324570
I am from a post-soviet country which is technically not a third world and I believe that infrastructure-wise it's not as bad as in some African country, but I said that it's pretty close

>>324574
i had no idea some countries in europe were that poor, im from a third world shit hole in south america and the minimum wage is around 600 USD a month and most job listings are around that number. The world entire is miserable

>>324578
I am not from Europe, not the Baltic states. I don't want to clarify where exactly but it's not a European country. Average salary for a junior position with bachelor's degree would be around 500-600 USD but I was working a minimum wage service job with no degree or skills required. It was still very bad.
I should've probably mentioned that my story happened before covid and things probably changed a little since then, I don't really follow news or the market so I can't be for sure, but even if things did improve it's still pretty bad because 500$ is an average salary if you have skills and a degree, and I have been a neet loser for so long that I feel physical pain just thinking about writing a CV or talking with an employer.

>>324579
i see, ive been looking for jobs too these past months, most are garbage jobs like call center, retail, sales representative, driver, security etc. and they all pay 500-600 USD, but most job listings are fake, you apply and they never reach back, the ones that rarely do call you back months later, and even then the crappy online interviews never go well, the stupid obese HR recruiters know you are lying about every single thing you say, and they ask about clearly fake work experience, and then they might never reach back anyways, all that pain and torture sending CVs just to get assigned a hellish job you hate and don’t really want, you have to beg to be tortured by corporations, even with “education” you’re not much better off, in the future slaughterhouses will probably require the cattle to kill and fillet themselves too before being processed, that’s existence for humans

funny to think my mom is actually a NEET. her neetbux comes from a medical disability (she is absolutely fine btw). brazil is a joke, everyone is dirt poor and the government still finds a way to put money in the hands of the wrong people.

>>324581
I understand, I don't know why things went so wrong, it feels like we were meant to be so much more than just bio-AI replacers but here we are.
This will probably sound like a satire, but with all honesty I wish you succeed and find something that is at least not too unbearable. Good luck anon

>>324583
good luck to you too in whatever post-soviet country youre in, i wish i could be positive, but to be honest we all know things will only get worse, thats what “life” is after all, just a big failure

>>324582
Universal basic income should be a human right, the very fact that you need a medical condition in order to receive money is ridicolous, they don't feed unemployed healthy people but give money to genetic trash so they can go on and spread their diseases.

Work would be much more tolerable if you're just given clear instructions and are left alone with earbuds playing music or a video playing in the background but no, normeis must always talk, talk, talk. Always the noise. Always the sudden plan change out of nowhere. No retreating to your own world. You are a slave and you belong to us.

>>324589
>genetic diseases
Care to elaborate?

>>324591
>No retreating to your own world.

you cannot be able to retreat to your own world when you are surrounded by normies, it's that. The unique place where you can do that is in your room or home if you live alone, otherwise they will disturb you. It's important for wizards to be aware of it, so that they can take more control of the situation.

>>324579
>was working a minimum wage service job with no degree or skills required

could you tell us what that job is ?

>>324727
Do you doubt that there exist legitimate jobs which don't require an education or skills?

>>324728
I don't, but I just want to know what job he did that's all.

how to cope? don't do what i did and flee into video games, get good at doing stuff yourself.

don't waste your life on stupid shit. i mean stuff like
>movies
>tv shows
>watching sports
>consumer goods
>luxury items
>restaurants
>expensive clothes
>fastfood
>alcohol
fuck all of that!

insteadgo all in on practicality. learn how to
>DIY from as raw materials as possible
>upcycle stuff other people throw away
>prepare all your food yourself eat healthy. no food can possibly taste as good as being healthy feels
>get into herbs and drink awful tasting herbal tea that helps keep you healthy.
>read (yes)
>get enough sunlight
>get enough exercise
>get in touch with your unconscious parts/ do what is shadow-work/ integrate your shadow/ keep a trajectory of improving mental health
don't doomscroll your day away because your life is so awful, instead keep at it improving your life, get good at it, invent some kind of time management system to keep track of all the stuff you want to do, i was missing this when i was younger and now that i am older and use my own system, everything is way easier to me, also being healthy helps and only working part time helps.

>>324730
That's suspicion. The man already made it clear that he's adverse to revealing too many details about his whereabouts.
