Have you considered your life 30, 40, 50 years from now?

I ask because it seems a great deal of wizzies here either live with parents, are on some kind of neetbux, or work minimum wage. These folks are on borrowed time, and I'd like to know exactly how you envision spending your life from 40-90 years old.

For every wizzie, even the few of us who are gainfully employed, there are also some thing worth considering. Mental health, social drifting, its all going to catch up to you eventually. Do you genuinely believe you will spend your senior years alone browsing the internet indefinitely as you rot away?

I'm fucking 28 and I already realize my "hobbies" are insufficient to sustain a meaningful life in the long-term, no matter how alluring the idea is. The isolation and lack of relationships, love, and acceptance are going to deteriorate any mind regardless of how introverted you are. There may be some exceptions, but even with the lack of social needs, you will still suffer to live in isolation in your older years as you become capable of less and less.

A wizard is always imagined as an old man, but quite frankly, I don't see how a lifelong wizzie survives in the later years.

 No.213086

Aside from money, you really don’t need a whole lot to sustain yourself. Relationships are far overblown, plenty of people have lived to old age never having them. All people really need is routine, once you have that the days turns to months turn to years and before you know it your life will have passed.

>Do you genuinely believe you will spend your senior years alone browsing the internet indefinitely as you rot away?
Sure, why not? Why try to improve on perfection?

 No.213088

I don't see the world lasting past 2045 at the latest and quite frankly, I'd rather go down fighting evil than succumb to the worst case scenario that (They) have planned

 No.213091

True, long term plan is key to avoid the most unpleasant future, smart wiz already know this, OP, it's a game, start planning now. Notably exception are:

the NEET that rope himself after mum and dad are gone, or become homeless and truly doesn't care
the another NEET that has somekind of very generous NEETbux that permits him to live independently

For the rest is a question of playing the long game.

>Have you considered your life 30, 40, 50 years from now?
Yeah, I save for retirement, have hopes for the future of eventually owning a plot of land somewhere and putting a simple cabin on it, as well as hookups for my RV.

>Do you genuinely believe you will spend your senior years alone browsing the internet indefinitely as you rot away?

I am not online all the time.
I have other hobbies and things that keep me busy. Goals to work towards. Crafts to improve. Checks to fill in on the ol bucket list.
I don't worry about running out of things to do. I worry about not having enough life to do all the things I want to do.

>The isolation and lack of relationships, love, and acceptance are going to deteriorate any mind regardless of how introverted you are.

*Shrugs*
Staying in contact with family, and having a few interactions related to my hobbies with people who aren't really close enough to be called friends is good enough for me so far.
Maybe a actually friend could be nice.
Have no desire for love or romantic relationship.
And I accept myself so I don't need anyone else's acceptance.

>you will still suffer to live in isolation in your older years as you become capable of less and less.

I see plenty of people in their 80s and 90s doddering around independently just fine. I try to maintain my health so I too can be one of those folks.
If not hopefully I have enough for a retirement community so I can live assisted among other elderly and have my needs met.
If not, then I guess I will do what I can until I can't anymore then let death claim me.
Can't really do anything about it. Just how it is.

>A wizard is always imagined as an old man, but quite frankly, I don't see how a lifelong wizzie survives in the later years.

It's pretty easy when you actually have a income.
It's lack of money most wizards and apprentices have that makes things hard.

I had these kinds of questions since ever, and I'm still here at 34, in front of the PC, with NEETbux.

Every so often you try to do something different or you get into some crisis and serious depression, but then what? You're back at it again, in front of the PC; it's not like I could live a normal life and be neurotypical.

The meme says after 30 it's doom, and it kinda is, but my worst years were when I was 25-26, so, the meme is not even true.

And if we're talking when you're really really old, at that point my mind is going to be so different that who knows what's going to happen, I might finally kill myself or I'll drink myself to death, I don't know, and who cares, we'll see when I get there.

when my grandma dies, my mom inherits millions of dollars and properties. I wish that nasty grifting fiending cunt would die TO-DAY.
when my mom dies, i inherit millions of dollars(if any is left, my mom is also retarded) and said properties(if any is left).
i already have the written will with the signature.

ill try my hardest to make my mom ration the money, and if i fail, then i dunno, i guess ill kill myself. im too disabled to work full-time and too retarded to work the welfare system. id rather die than work full-time anyway, i tried once when i was 19 and it was so bad i would drink 30 packs of beer every night and got big and fat.

Yes, but I've also realised how dumb this is. None of us are guaranteed a future. You could get hit by a car tomorrow. Your goals should be short term and no more than 5 years.

Also, if you are worried about being alone or lonely when you get older, there's like a billion charities and organisations for this specific sort of thing.

 No.213199

I see autistic old men in their 50s pretty happy still doing their thing. You learn to be frugal with your NEETbux. You can move to a cheap apartment, buy cheap food and just keep on ticking along.

If you don't have a car, if you cook the same basic meals, if you look after your health, you're in a better position than the minimum wage normalfag that has to keep several plates spinning.

I don't know about a meaningful life but I assume I will be working a part time job, paying the bills, and spending my time online.
>you will still suffer to live in isolation in your older years as you become capable of less and less
I can handle it otherwise I wouldn't be a wiz but things might get worse, we will have to see.
>The isolation and lack of relationships, love, and acceptance are going to deteriorate any mind regardless of how introverted you are
I've noticed as much but it isn't anything severe

It's weird to think of myself browsing this site 8 years from now. Yet, I was here 8 years ago. It's hard to reliably make long-term predictions so I just let time run its course. You mention becoming less capable over time, but I don't fear that. 50 years from now robot caregivers may be the norm, who knows. Haptic tech that will trick your brain into thinking your waifu is touching you, making it release the necessary hormones. Is that too futuristic? How many people correctly predicted today's tech 50 years ago?

This question is not very interesting. 30 years from now, the world will be a different place, regardless of us. I doubt the world will be a place worth living in in 30 years, but I'd be 70 if I live that long, which I won't. If I'm going to ask a question about the future, I'd ask it about the world. I always thought that was the way most people looked at events, but I guess I'm the weird one and the ethos says "me me me me me", despite that being obviously retarded and pointless to anyone who thinks about what the world is. Not too long ago, people didn't expect to live past 50 and if they did, they figured out there isn't really any point. The world is far too uncertain to make this about yourself.

But that said, I don't expect my life to be any different. I obviously don't have children, and if I have anything to do with society, it's purely about work or business, day to day. If I live, I live. I don't expect great success, given what this society values and what they consider the point of this entire enterprise. None of them care about anything productive or things we would consider worthwhile. The only thing they believe in is being "on top" of a dumpster fire, and actively making sure most people don't have anything. If people had the things they wanted, they wouldn't tolerate the shit that is done to them, and there is no good reason for that. It has always been known that if you wanted people to produce things for you, they would demand a level of security to know their throat won't be slit, or they'll just halfass everything and slit the masters' throat at the first opportunity. Most of humanity doesn't understand the concept of genuine free labor, because they are a slave race. Always have been, always will be.

If there is any silver lining, there are many, many men who are permanently alone, and able to speak to each other, albeit in limited forms. Everything is policed by internet Nazis who want us to suffer and disrupt anything good we create, just as they shit up everything else. You'd be surprise how many men really have no investment in society, and find their happiness just about anywhere else. They made society so toxic that no one would want "friends", and the assholes keep going to cannibalize the last bit of space we have left. But, it's too difficult to stop people from speaking to each other, and it has always been preferable for intel ghouls to monitor the herd. Problem with that that is that they make the society so intolerable that the overriding aim of most people will be to destroy the beast that does this to them, and they're furiously throwing shit to ensure that people don't do away with this ruinous system and its institutions forever and never allow this beast to exist again. It will be far cheaper for someone to break ranks and recruit from the desperate people who will overthrow this shit, then it will be for people to pay the tribute to stay in with the ruling system. Eventually the ruling system and its officers degrade - they're already going insane and they know it, because they operate a failed system.

I alraedy know what it will be like, I will just chug along working everyday and coming home sad and depresed, living minimally my whole life. Theres nothing you can do if you aren't a normie, i'm not a normie so i'll nevr fit in.

Well, you are the one suffering, and you experience no suffering other than your own. You will change your point of view when you'll be old and suffering various illnesses.
