Any successful people out there...

What does a video game designer do? Just UI shit?

You probably have sleep apnea if your snoring is that bad, go get checked, the government will even pay for your cpap machine and you'll sleep so much better.

Alternatively, lose weight if you're overweight, I know, easier said than done, just use the cpap machine in the meantime.

You sleep in the basement because Tyrone put you down there

People who have the means but don't have the motivation.
I just don't understand them and I don't care them.
I was poor when I was a kid and I had incredible drive. I got "rich" and still have drive.
I just don't care about you guys and why should I ? Kek

I've a song for this moment. Please someone successful reply!

I ve never fucking understood how americans make money in corporations. They are like chandler from friends, they have fancy names for their jobs like "senior managerial dick waxing aenemist for the regional botswanan county" and sit in an office all day doing jack shit, I swear to God all of these corporatists would die of starvation if the economy was actually built around human worth and the world werent enslaved by the petro dollar so you wouldnt be able to brrrr and pay those retards 120k a year. Also how the fuck can you make 40k a year and be considered poor? In eastern europe if you make 20k a year you re richer than average and live a super comfy life all while our food is more expensive than yours and gas costs 4 times more. Jesus typing this made me angry americand live on easy mode

Nah. I’m 27 and bought a house last year. I miss living with my parents. I wish I still lived at home.

I agree. The worst are the “Senior Sales Representatives”. They email me and just say “please assist”. It’s like what the fuck do you even do all day.

Depends whether you're 30+ or not.
And whether you're at home still.

Because we get charged like 1000+ in rent, if you wanna buy a house, a shitty one in a shit area will cost you at least 350k, in a big city 1m+, plus car insurance is like $200 a month, and fucking TAXES

kek

If they say please assist they're probably fucking Poojeets, or they learned from them, they don't do jackshit all day, just talk about random shit in their monkey language

I agree. I do hope they can have futures, as your parents do not live forever.

Mostly, I do not think about them at all when busy.

Don’t worry everyone here is unhappy from constantly trying to compete with their neighbors and friends on social media and going into debt to keep up. You’re 100% right about the corporation shit.

I'm pretty successful. Currently worth just shy of two million, so not super wealthy. I managed to fail forward for a couple of years in a row and things have worked out pretty well. I used to work from home, kinda like NEETs except I had a degree (in History, which many would say hardly counts). Now I can do what I want most of the time without worrying.
Basically: find literally anything that you're good at that someone will pay you for. Don't get a 9-5 job unless you have no other options. Take what you're good at, and instead of selling it, RENT it. Become a consultant. Work temporary positions for a month or two at a time. If you can line up work for yourself year round, you will make 5-10x as much as you would doing the same thing as a W-2 employee.
Beyond that advice? Yes, I consider most of you failures. Not because you suck, but because you won't even try.

>Depends whether you're 30+ or not.
>And whether you're at home still
Why? Why is the anglo sphere ashamed of their parents? Children are raised way better in multi generational homes
>Nah. I’m 27 and bought a house last year. I miss living with my parents. I wish I still lived at home
Same, user. I moved out of my comfy childhood home(pic related) and live in a city commiebloc now, its fucking shit, the worst part is that I miss my parents, I am as shut in as they come but parents are the only ones who will never abandon you and truly love you(in most cases atleast). I just moved out because it s starting to be considered shameful to live with them , it wasnt until a few years ago, but thats what jewish propaganda does through american soft power I guess. Also i hate cities so fucking much. Especially bucharest since its 6th largest city in the EU and people are packed like deenz.
>Senior Sales Representatives”
Fucking nothing I worked in an american corporation outsourced here for a while and nost senior anything were americans and i asked them what they were doing and they couldnt answear

I can tell you exactly how this works having been there for years.

1 in 10 people in a department has the know-how and drive to get things done.
The other 9 are inadequate extensions of this 1 productive person's capacity, but are still net additions to productivity, no matter how slim.
Their immediate manager is there to serve as a snow plow and meat shield so the 1 person in 10 is allowed the freedom and resources to do what is necessary to be productive.

Re: 40k and still poor:

This is a result of government regulations. Every regulation comes with costs. There are direct costs of mandated extra parts or design inefficiencies, then the indirect costs of paying "experts" and "services" to maintain compliance.

In the first world this is possible to maintain to some degree, at tremendous socio-economic costs.

In the third world it is not, which in practice means most regulations are ignored with minor bribery or as a matter of culture.

All of this, every bit of it, is a result of corruption.
Organizations wouldn't be able to grow big enough to support a structure like this without the legal fiction of "corporations" and the regulations which freeze out more nimble competitors, and structures like this result in mass incompetency in which the average city-dweller doesn't even know the right side of a hammer.

"division of labor" is highly overrated.

You're right. I don't know WHAT is happening, but something is fucking coming and I'm doing what I can to prepare for it. So... yeah, having money sure as fuck is going to help me out with that. After the fact? Nah, we're all fucked. But between now and then? I'm prepping the shit out of my property.

Undecided. Yes, you young turds are passive, vague and nebulous, you don't understand that the world has always been kind of shit and life has always been a struggle, you seem unwilling to get down in the ditch with a shovel and do the dirty work to make a life. That's the "ok boomer" part.

On the other hand, life now really is more shit in some ways than it has ever been, in spite of our fantastic material progress. Relations between men and women have never been worse, the future seems less certain than ever, because of interwebs we know too much about the world to trust in anything, and traditions that sustained and guided humankind for centuries have been destroyed by Goldberg.

The basic things one needs to start a family seem out of reach: housing, steady employment, a decent girl, and societal respect for the institution itself.

I don't really think the situation is hopeless for the young, but I can see why they think so.

I remember when I was young, in the '60s, old people saying, "I'm glad I'm old and going to die soon, because the world you're growing up in is becoming a fucked-to-death pile of burning shit." How right they were even then, and it's more true now.

Yes. You are garbage.

I do sympathize with neets in general. But not you. Lazy sloppy people who don't proofread, get the rope.

>fantastic material progress

Everything that actually MATTERS is many times more expensive.

Fucking boomers have their heads up their asses.

College was free to them.
Houses were 2.5x income
They were rewarded for savings with 15% interest by the Reagan administration.
They benefitted from "full employment policy" that protected our domestic industry and shunned imports of both products and labor.

Now houses are 8-12x income, college is 3 times the median wage, you're punished for saving w/0% or even negative interest and housing prices rise faster than you can save, and boomers voted to import cheap shit and cheap labor because "I have mine, so fuck you", literally eating their young and destroying the cultural fabric and even basic civil liberties in our nations for material luxury.

Fuck Boomers. Fuck them right in the ass.
They were given whole, functional nations that provided them unparalleled stability and prosperity, and they pissed it all away and even ate their young because they wanted even more.

Yes. there are 3 kinds of people
> Those who advance society
> Those who maintain society
> Those that leech off society
It has less to do with your takehome and more to do with the willful applying of marketable skills.
If you have talent or potential, ethically you should hone a craft and utilize your gifts to bring wealth, security, and happiness to you and yours.

Being a NEET is just as bad as being a homo or a nigger in many regards. You're just a self-serving hedonist who is too poor and underworked to appreciate actual Hedonism. Dont produce kids, like a homo. Dont work, like a nigger. To me a NEET is someone who surrendered any potential they had to external locus of control and tries to regain control through viyda games and anime. The NEET lifestyle is akin to Purgatory to me. So I view NEETs more as wayward souls more than scum. I cant be mad at people whom dont want to participate in a society that doesn't serve their interest, though. I can sympathize with that, I just dont want to accept a reality with no purpose other than consuming trash food and media on a shoestring budget.

>implying you even register as a person

In short I think NEETS are just addicted to Sloth.

>Everything that actually MATTERS is many times more expensive.

I SAID that, dipshit.

>College was free to them.

Wrong. I couldn't afford to go.

Rest of your shit is just a rant. Go on blaming the boomers, based on the fact that a small percentage of them DID have a very easy ride. It won't help dig you out of the pit of shit you now live in.

I'm a successful NEET because I'm generationally wealthy. Lmfao at plebs who look down on NEETs.

as a neet of 12 years now (dad is financialy very comfortable in his retirement), i haven't been able to consume media for many years. video games I quit almost 7 years ago, completely unable to "get bakc into" them.

i was into movies for a while, or historical reading, but nothing for a long time. outdoor light exercise and cheap red wine at night (thanks mom), that is my life

>Do you consider NEETs who never did anything with their lives like myself failures and inferior ants compared to you?
Of course. It's the objective truth. That doesn't mean you're worthless, though.

It's not the living at home in it self that I care about. It's just that young single-male welfare-leeches here who don't live at home tend to have the advantage of social skills and a modicum of masculinity as opposed to 30+ year old basement dwellers. Just in general.

>Yes. there are 3 kinds of people
>> Those who advance society
>> Those who maintain society
>> Those that leech off society

There's a 4th category: those who are disgusted at the leeches (boomers) and are opting out.

I haven't chosen to opt out, but I understand why they do.

I can't wait for the day that narcissistic generation's social security and 401k's are plundered by the millennials whose future they ate, forcing them to fire-sell their homes to zoomers and allow America to finally, after 3 generations, begin to heal from their unbridled treasonous avarice.

I don’t, I really just hope the best for you, neet and wageslave - there’s downsides to both, I just hope you stay motivated and happy no matter what!

Always remember that pepe image where’s he’s in the tux drinking piss, it’s an inspiration.

>food is more expensive
>20k is middle class
You have to be embellishing, it costs $100 a week per person to eat decently and that is cooking all of your own meals.

My family is rich and I barely do any work at all, so I'm not sure if you consider me succesful (I certainly didn't earn it).

If my family wasn't rich I'd go on welfare. I think there's nothing worse than wageslaving. It's akin to slavery and whenever I work I can virtually feel myself getting less sharp, more unwilling to learn and so on.

After taxes 40k is 27k, after rent and car and bills it’s 17k, then I save 8k.

>You have to be embellishing, it costs $100 a week per person to eat decently and that is cooking all of your own meals.

No, he's not.

I've had the experience of living in the deep south, the mid-west, and the bay area.

You have no fucking idea how much cost is added by government intervention "for the poor".

Fast food is literally twice the cost in the bay area as it is in exurban Georgia.

It's about 50% cheaper than mid-western "purple" states.

To put this into even greater perspective:
The most popular cars in America are still made in America, even the foreign brands.

Why are they triple the price as a fraction of median wage that they were in 1984? Regulation.

Where is regulation thickest: the first world "socialist" areas.

Oh, one thing I'd miss about not having money is good food I guess.

I'm a successful/neet hybrid. I'm a programmer with a nice resume. I never negotiate my wage, only vacation days.
I'm up to 45 days a year and 3 wfh days a week (where I do jack shit because nobody notices).
I'm envious of pure neets.

*about having money

society takes from me everything and refuses to give anything back
you call me a neet because im not "employed" by you but you'd steal every resource I had
you're thieves if im a neet
you're evil and i refuse to be you

I don't mind the NEETs, provided they have some pride and ability, notwithstanding their situation, like Diogenes the Cynic. The rest of the waste can perish. Just to look at absolute failure and incompetence in the flesh, is a drag on the world.

I'm too young to lean either way, but they shouldn't feel superior. It's not like the successful pushed themselves harder than NEETS, they were just dealt lucky hands in life. NEETS are mentally tougher than successful people.

Julien is that you?

I wouldn't consider myself insanely successful, I'm no millionaire, but I have a relatively high paying white collar job at a tech company. It's okay, I mostly just advanced based on being able to pick up new skills and concepts quickly, the ability to string together a snappy sounding sentence, use the right buzzwords effectively, work bullshit artistry sorcery, and a willingness to work harder and for longer than the next guy when it matters. If you bend over backwards to deliver on a few things where others can't or won't now and again you can fuck off, coast, and shitpost most of the rest of the time very safely. Also a lot of luck was involved in landing the right initial job and making the right decisions.

I don't really look down on NEETS or hut ins, I've been one before for some long stretches. I mostly work super hard so that I can go home, act like a Hikki-NEET, and not worry about money. Sometimes I buy myself some cool dumb shit just because I want it and I can, which is neat. I try to save and invest because I know what it's like to be destitute and I know that things can change in an instant.

In a way I'm jealous of you user if you can just comfortably NEET it up with no major consequences.

My boomer aunt made the equivalent of 45$ an hour and has a pension for being a fucking CASHIER

FUCK boomer denial, faggots inherited gold and left feces for us

I can't wait to rip out boomer throats holy shit i will drink their blood

People from functioning middle class homes judging a NEET from a single mother impoverished household is always funny to me
