Get the FUCK in here grandpas. How's everyone holding up?
>tfw too scared to quit my degrading retail job
>tfw teenager coworkers probably see me as the old guy
Yea. I think I am just going to stop going and fill out paperwork at a temp agency.
35 hikki NEET here.
Same old, same old. Kind of gave up the hope of finding a job at this point.
33 here I stopped give a fuck.

Nice trips
I graduated from being a robot years ago. I first came here in 2010 and was a fully fledged robot back then. Then in late 2011 I joined the army reserves (UK) and started coming out of my shell a bit more.
Now I'm in the regular (as in, full time employed) army as an officer and life couldn't be better. Of course there are a few cunts here but there are enough other people for me to avoid them when I don't want to be around them.
We're all gonna make it bros. I went from being a lazy unfit fucking loser KHV robot (only lost my virginity at 24, well after I left uni) to being a freaking commando trained officer in one of the most elite units of the British Army.
>>28890111
Doing okay. I feel like my life's getting on track. Too late, probably, but on track.
>>28890518
Oh yeah, and I'm 25 at the moment
>>28890278
me also 33. it's fun on the other side when things don't matter anymore. like grammar, me hate grammar.
I'm only 25 and I've completely given up on life.
25. Have to move out of the house for the first time ever in August. Will probably end up being shit but I'll manage somehow.

Today wasn't all shit. A few beers might help, idk what else it'd take.

On one hand, I'm earning bulk overtime.
On the other, long hours on the bike is fucking my knees and back, and no free time during the week.
One more year to go for my mortgage though (cause of all that overtime pay), so hopefully semi-retired in a year or so

I use to deliver mail in a posh, riverside area, and a lot of people there seemed miserable. Long hours in that professional job, never home in that nice house... And the amount of divorces (I can tell, when only one half of the household gets a redirection). Plus they always overextended on that mortgage, so many nice riverside houses with a crappy camry in the driveway

>>28890967
I don't give a fuck about the money. I make $60k and it's more than enough around here.
$60k didn't make me much happier than my $10k/year I was living off in college. It's nice to not starve and have enough for road trips here and there, maybe a vacation or 2, a newer car, etc. But a bigger house/apartment, so what. A *nicer* car, whatever. Both are just a status symbol at some point.
I really don't know what it'd take but money definitely isn't the answer. Living in a nicer city, sure (or maybe not?). I'd like something like San Diego. Maybe Charlotte, NC.
I *thought* a gf, maybe a couple kids would make me happy. But thinking about it more, no. I'd have to actually care for other people, I don't even care for myself. What would it take, I don't know.

Why would you want to live in this shithole?
I'm 30. I'm not suicidal but I want to die.
>>28891118
Why not do something constructive with your money anon, instead of using it for status symbols? You're privileged enough to have money, do something worthwhile with it.
>>28891145
Oh fuck. Is anything good?
Where is a nice place to live then? I guess I'm stuck looking at southern California, and maybe Houston (or is Houston also shit)? Already wrote off Florida, Washington, Oregon, Colorado (lolweedbro fags), midwest is shit but maybe Chicago would be ok for a year or 2.
>>28891193
Do you have any ideas in mind? I already help out family and give a little to charity.. but I still need to pay off student loans so it's not like I have hoards of cash sitting around.
I'm 29 and I've worked all kinds of jobs. I have a degree, and I lived in Portugal for a year teaching English to kids (it was nice) but eventually I got bored. Now I'm doing my MA and i'm having to live at home while I do it, I'm pretty much broke but I have a nice boyfriend. Life is OK. I hope after I graduate I can get a better job, or do a PhD. These are precarious times we're living in.
>>28891225
You could help a bipolar robot afford meds and therapy.
>>28891248
Start a gofundme? (inb4normieREEEE) That shit's expensive and I'm not that rich.
>>28891225
What I see with people who are well off is that it loses all meaning. As you get richer, the people around you tend to belong to the same demographic. You get caught up in the perpetuated group mentality that you need this or that. It sounds like although you have all the things you're supposed to have, you're not happy. So maybe you need to find out what actually makes you happy. If I was you, I would take photography classes, art classes, creative writing classes, dance classes all kinds of things. But I'm poor, so there we are!
>>28891225
>Do you have any ideas in mind?
Not him, I'll sound extremely selfish but you should keep your money to yourself and use it on things YOU want, nothing else.
I don't like the idea of people telling other to share their money when everyone in this damn planet usually don't give a shit to his own neighbor. Sounds extremely hypocritical.
Besides even if you give money to "help" it won't change a thing. Your charity money is going somewhere you don't know, and they # 2768 guy you will help will not remember you in the next year. Even worse, the guy you help can turn out to be an absolute asshole.

>>28891336
That's a good idea but I feel like it would up like everything in my life:a colossal failure. You have to advertise that stuff and I don't know where to begin.
Im 26 and still going S-STRONG.
>>28890454
quit 4chan completely desu
>>28891339
I live in an uncivilized town that's an hour away from any sort of place that has classes of that nature. I think what it'll really take is a job I like that still pays enough to cover my student loans. Still thinking on that one, looking for jobs, etc.
Good idea still. I paint on occasion, I probably should paint more.
>>28891385
Facebook friends, maybe have a parent/sibling start one and share it. Just say you lost your job and aren't covered on insurance. Reddit has boards where you can ask for charity as well. Other option being move to a state that did the Obamacare/Medicaid expansion, could wind up with really cheap (free?) healthcare. Wherever you are, it's worth taking time to talk to a social worker, they'll give you some free advice, maybe point you to a free clinic or other heavily discounted meds based on income.
>>28890967
I wouldn't need that much money, if I could make 48k and only work half the year that would be perfect.
>>28890111
Not bad at all. My job is great and pays more than enough to support myself, wife, and my first child. I've finished a large project outside of work so now I can relax and enjoy the long weekend and upcoming vacation.
>>28891460
Im thinking about that.
In ER I can work 6 month contracts and I dont need to renew for 6 more. Just live free.
>>28891458
In the UK you dont have to stat paying back your student loan until you are earning a certain amount. Thank god!
26 kissless handholdless virgin. I'll be graduating with a BS in Electrical Engineering next semester. Median entry wage is 55-60k. $60k would be more than both my parents make at full-time. If I can get up to the 80-90k+, I'll be 30 or whatever, and women will be throwing themselves at me.
I'm going to be one of those guys that pumps and dumps women until I find young wife material. Women were fucking terrible to me in my life, and by god I'm going to let them get what they deserve.
>>28891458
If your Facebook friends actually can help you, my friends either ignore me or are unable to. As for housing, Section 8 does not exist, so your only option is a homeless shelter with the actual bums and crazies.

>>28891844
Unemployed as in "I cannot find a fucking job at all" or "I am not going to get a job not related to my field"?
>>28891711
If it makes you feel any better. White Americans can't get section 8 unless they have children. So they have the same problem.
Can someone tell me what's the point of living after 30, and if you're 30 and see the point, do you see any point in living after 40?
Because I really don't see anything unless you spent your entire life up until then getting rich or academically famous or something like that where you can enjoy 10 years of a good life before it all goes straight down the shitter.
>>28891903
Well, then poor white people must be doing something right because I have been to several section 8 neighborhoods and its all brown people.

I'm the 35 NEET from the first posts.
I'll only talk for myself but even though the world is shit, there are some stupid shit I like to see and do like playing video games and watching anime, serious.
I'm also curious to see what can happen in the world in my lifetime. Will it be boring or will we face something exceptional? Who knows, it's worth the ride to me. Not having a job or a social life kind of sucks but that's all there is to it.
>>28891890

>>28892048
Lie about references, have a relative pretend to be your former (or current) boss. Leave off the "I have a degree" thing when applying to unskilled jobs.
It's almost surely "oh, you're too qualified" for why you're not getting unskilled work.
And "why don't you have a job yet" for why you're not getting skilled work.
>>28892077
She's 17, you're over 18. At least wait until she's 18, ffs. It's not like you'll find anyone else in the next year.

I have lied about references and none of them have ever been contacted it seems. I'll keep trying though. I'll also take off my degree as well for the unskilled work.
>>28892158
I'm sure I could get a teaching certificate. I don't know if I'd be a good teacher though. I'd be spilling my spaghetti everywhere.
>>28892180
Kinda losing interest in her to be honest. Never had to wait this long for some pussy
>>28892216
Start as a substitute teacher, might be easier to get in.
For full-time teacher job, some states you need a degree in education to be a teacher, but others you'll be fine with a BA/BS.
>>28892295
So you're a normie?
29 going on 30 in a few months.
Pluses: enjoyable part-time job, good health, nice place to live, cheap rent, finally found some good people to play music with
Minuses: No GF for several years, no prospects, few friends, very lonely and depressed sometimes, money is definitely an issue, leisure activities like vidya and tv are no longer satisfying
Been trying to plan for the future. I want to move out of this region of the US I'm in and possibly out of the country. I have nothing tying me down here and money is really the only issue. Just want to meet new people and find out if I can fit in to other cultures and societies. At the same time I'm terrified of leaving my comfort zone but I can't take much more of this drudgery.

Iktf got diagnosed bipolar just recently at 25 but I've been dealing with this shit for a long time it seems. Never knew what it was until I had a mental breakdown and lost my job, apartment and what little ounce of sanity I thought I had left.When will the ride end?
25
Jesus Christ I don't even believe it when I write it down. I wasted my youth, and it's absurd that I've been trying for the greater part of a DECADE now to get a girlfriend and I've failed so horrendously.
The last few girls I tried to hit on were all fucking single moms. I thought I had more fucking time before this bullshit started.
Even tried online dating but that just got me so depressed when every girl I looked at for hours on OKC answered extremely negatively to the male virgin questions. I know I could/should probably lie, but damn it hurts to be unwanted as you are. There's so many people out there happy, and I'm glad for them, but every time I see a couple I feel hollow and incomplete.
Many many incidents
No matter what we do (many, many)
Money, money, all right
Everything'll be resolved (money!)
32 neet here. Never worked in my life. I regret it deeply now. I have a shitty 2 year degree in comuter graphic design but that was a fucking decade ago. Basically worthless now. Neet life is only as great as the health of your parents. Both of mine are ill now. Mentally and physically and it's just a fucking living nightmare everyday now. I'm severely depressed and suicidal. Have no friends nor have I had a girlfriend ever. I can't escape from home now. Even if I could get a shitty job it will never be enough money to be independent and strike out on my own. I just wish I would die in my sleep. I just don't have the energy or motivation to start a life at my age. It's a conflicting feeling since I want to get away as well. I feel like it's already over. I don't know. I really might end up killing myself soon if this keeps up. I can't deal with it anymore. Only other option is to go to a psychiatrist and just medicate myself out of existence.
