There is no good life on welfare unless you live in Germany or Scandinavia. Those blessed few can be pretty comfy. And a couple of Britfags, I guess. Everyone else is doomed.
>>214570 How can a dude that get 1k per month, plus a couple of bux more for food and shelter, be doomed? Unless they guy has some ultra ambitious personality and need to "be at the top", living on NEETbux seems okish.
I really think you should be skillmaxxing in these times. With the cost of living going up and right wing politicians getting more popular NEETing doesn't seem like a safe thing.
>>214569 That'd be a way to put it. I am living a better life possibly than most people in my whole town. Dropped out of middleschool and got welfare not soon after. Not worked a day in my life and didn't put up with uni shit. I split bills with housemates and don't have a car, substance addiction or kids and whatnot that are the usual money sinks. The result being a normal middle class life of average health with privacy and free time at almost no cost. Been living like this for 9 years now. For each person that dies before retirement, I've possibly already lived more on my own time than them. The future is as unstable as it always is, but I can't convince myself to destroy this out of paranoia. It'll have to be taken from me. Until then, it's quiet hobbies and enjoying that part of minimalism where the intensity of natural beauty is preserved. Yes I'm bragging, you'd be too. If this isn't nice, I don't know what is.
>>214569 You don't get much in welfare, even in the UK, so you learn to be frugal, get cheap food and hobbies, live with parents, etc. I try to save as much as possible because you never know when a government drone randomly decides you are no longer eligible for welfare.
>>214569 I live in a yuropoor nannystate and receive NEETbux, I call it the plebking lifestyle. I get enough to live comfortably and whenever I need more for my interests, I do a bit of black work for a math teacher (fellow wizard) I used to be a student of. There used to be a time where I genuinely wanted to contribute to society but a string of bad times set me back and utterly demoralized me. At some point I let go of the rat race and a wave of relief washed over me. I didn't need to care anymore, I'm just picking a dry spot on the sinking ship.
>>215046 for BASIC INCOME? yes. as of now, basic income is just a bunch of trials privately funded by rich people. i would say 95% are conditional, meaning there is a requirement. if there is a requirement, it usually means you must be poor. other common requirements are being african american, a succubus, a mother, etc
i know these basic income trials aren't 'state welfare' and it's not accurate to compare them
>>215068 I haven't gotten any since I applied in November but when I do get approved they will backpay it all so I will get a lump $2,800 sum. Then they'll cut me off because I'm not a BIPOC.
>>214569 welfare maxxing is very difficult if you are a single male you have to be diagnosed with schizophrenia or autism to get neetbux and that costs money
i would have the greatest life if i could receive disability and not work i don't care about luxury all the stuff i want or need i can get for free on the internet
I tried applying for neetbux two times already but these fucks only gave me 40% disability but I need 50% to get neetbux. I hate these assholes so much. They do this on purpose here so the state cuts expenses. It's my guess at least.
>>214573 So I did the math, my neetbucks when converted to USD are $1408 per month. I do live in the Nordics.
It's not the worst existence or the best, you have to remember these are also some of the most expensive nations on Earth so you can't think of it as someone from Burundi obtaining that sum of money. It's relative to the purchasing power in that country.
Here you can't even get a livable one bedroom apartment for less than about €800 (equivalent) a month.>>214573
>>214569 Right now, I'm getting my 300€ rent and 49€ train ticket paid by the government and get 700€ per month that I can use however I want. I use like 300€ on food because I always buy the expensive stuff, 50€ goes to subscriptions and then the remaining 350 get used for games, anime and merch or to save. Right now I'm trying to save some money for getting a new console and television so I'm not buying too much but I'm still pretty happy with my lifestyle. Some people here talked about rent being a big cost. It doesn't matter for me because the government would pay my rent no matter what but if you get a one room appartment in a rural area you shouldn't have that many problems with rent. You just have to avoid the rural areas that people commute out of and only choose the real shitholes. Those are the only poor areas where you won't have problems with crime because most of the people are old and there are zero migrants.
I live in an Eastern European country and they pay me an allowance for six months (that's $130). I have been registered with the employment center for a year now and they have not paid me anything. The problem is that in order to get a job, you need education or some skills. I don’t have any of this, I would like to study, but due to the bureaucracy of my country, I do not have the right to study. but I can't take courses or graduate on my own. for me it is very long (5 years of higher education) and very expensive. Guys, I can't even afford to buy sweets.So I'm a little jealous of you guys who get paid a normal allowance and you can even get a job
>>216735 No, I'm from Uruguay, a small shithole between Brazil and Argentina. I guess it would be worse if I was in Brazil, they are much more turbo normalniggers than here.
I live in a good country, but it is going through bad economic times. We have the highest inflation in the world, and a poverty rate of 50%, I don't know how long we will continue like this, but about 15 years ago I think you could live on Neetbux like in Europe.
>>216771 Not sure what you meant with that, but I can conceive of wizards living pretty much anywhere. Anyways, I'm quite used to people not even knowing this little country exists.
>>217334 Yes, I live with my elderly mother, I don’t know what to do. I really try not to think about it. The funny thing is that it is very difficult for me to find a job. If I find her, her salary will be 250, at best 300 dollars. And it will be very hard physical work, like unloading cars with coal with shovels. >>216801 I meant that there are people who live and enjoy life. And there are people like me who simply exist in the circle of hell
