I'm 35 and have never worked a day in my life. Nor do I intend to, despite being overly qualified. Spend my whole day playing old vidya and reading manga.
I've only had 2 shirts, 2 pairs of pants and 2 pairs of shoes for the past 10 years, which I wash alternatively.
Modest inheritance + don't spend too much. 50€ a month in food give or take, 10-20 running water, 15 internet. Thank fuck I don't pay for energy, I bought solar panels and batteries a long time ago.
I don't eat much because I have my sugar spikes under control and am not too tall. Most days I just eat a few eggs and some veggies. I try not to overexercise in order to eat less, too.
24 eggs = 4 euro here -> I eat 150 eggs a month, which means I spend 25 euro in eggs, that's half my protein
chickpeas are 2 eur a kilo, I eat 3 kilos a month, which means I spend 6 euros on chickpeas
This with olive oil is over half my calories and all of my protein, and I still have around 15 euros to spare on leafy greens and nuts every now and then, when they're cheap because they're about to go bad. When I do eat meat I spend a bit more than 50 though, but I eat it rarely.
I have an old PC, I only play old vidya, But I try to get as much out of them as possible.
Same few games for ages:
Fallout New vegas
TES: Morrowind and Oblivion
Rimworld
Facotrio
Project Zomboid
Darkest Dungeon
Hollow Knight
M&B: Warband + mods
Kenshi
and a bunch of retro shooters like DOOM
I'm technically a leech, only my parents aren't alive. I just don't spend much. Internet is a cheap source of entertainment, so is hiking every now and then.
My shedule: Steady sleeping schedule, exercise every morning, sunbathe every afternoon, play in between, hike on weekends. Life is good.

Same + didn't bother with education. Art hobbies are an infinite well of passing time with so many avenues of depth, growth and frustration (very important to include some frustration in your activities) despite requiring very little in resources. If you work digitally you can simply steal the software.
Doing very well beyond that wiz. With a bit of circumstantial luck, wealth is found effortlessly by having little need more than by having lots of money.

I’m also 29yo neet who have never worked a single day in his life. I dread for my future because other than potential rent income from some house I will be dirt poor. I will go as neet as much as I could go because I’m a retard and incapable of work. But even if I could make a stable neet life I just don’t wanna live after my age 40, old age will absolutely suck as single man.

I work in the office typing in orders and printing labels to give to the guy who works in the warehouse who retrieves and wraps the stock. No hard labor on my part. Only other guy working there is the boss who spends all day on the phone. I live 10 minutes away and the last in the warehouse gives me a lift to and from work every day. On days he's not in, like this week because he's at army training, the boss himself does the labor and drives me to and from work. And in September he will let me work part time while I do my degree.

Which I don't even need that bad, because I lucked out on a risky investment and thus have more savings than most people twice my age. I'm also pretty frugal and could afford to eat with 100€ or less a month.
So far I've just been too cowardly to assert myself and quit my job. Doing so might block me from working in the field again if I ever needed a job. But I could probably find some other employment if needed. I also have a certain degree.

Good thread.
Always remember minimizing your cost is almost always far more easy than increasing your income. If you own a home/live with your parents you can live with roughly 1000$ a month at the very most, this would include food,gas,basic healthcare insurance. In some rural places you can even live with 500$-750$ including rent. I know someone who was spending about 7k a year.
Changing your lifestyle can also benefit you financially, eating healthy and cooking your own meals tend to be less expensive than chugging in restaurants or even buying fast food.
Being minimalist gives you freedom and flexibility plus you don't worry about many problems that emerge with too much stuff.
Any wizard who has some bit of sense to himself should also learn how to pirate. Do not pay for entertainment unless it is absolutely necessary. Every movie and tv show can be found online. Most books and almost all comics can be found online if you dig some russian websites and telegram and torrents. Video games are a given but I even start to play board games on VASSAL which is basically an emulator for hex and counter games. Rather not pay 75$ for some niche ww2 simulationist game.
No.193834
>>193821>play board games on VASSAL?
You can play board games online?
No.193844
>>193834Yes you can! Two softwares are used commonly, Vassal and Table Top Simulator.
Vassal is a free software designed for hex and counter games mostly, Tabletopsimulator (TTS) is on steam and mostly for other type of board games, but I think the price is worth it. You can find many if not all board games on TTS, many of them are scripted too, you can play gloomhaven, kingdom death, secret hitler, cards against humanity even 40k miniatures or rpgs. It is far more difficult with vassal as many hex counter companies do release vassal versions of their games but do not share scenario booklets online, but with some search you can find pirated versions and play maybe 1/3 of all hex and counter games online for free without paying anything. You can also design/upload your own images/maps if you have the time. You can also play cardgames for free, few years ago it was a software called cockatrice I dunno if its still around but I recall playing quite a lot of mtg there.

Actually, you'll be worse off because to get a job at Wendy's you'll just have to omit all of that education, pretend to be a lot dumber than you are, not to mention you'll have a big gap in employment history.
I myself have two STEM degrees. They seem to be worth a lot until just after I got them.
And I kind of bought a house for next to nothing during the Greater Depression and the way things are now I can easily retire at 55 working part time, at a job with ridiculous job security. But it's in redneck nowhere so you can't start a professional career here, the few related jobs posted all require experience.
The only possible way to use them is to move to a big city and pay 2k a month in rent, assuming I even get one of those jobs that's 2/3 what I can expect to make. 2-3x my current hours and I have less dollars and cents than I otherwise would. Before taxes. All for promises of "maybe" I'll be worth more in the future. I've heard that before. As far as I'm concerned things are perfect the way they are now.
