These people could've been just as happy not being what they are now. Especially Harrison Ford, he's a talented and skilled actor but you can tell that he doesn't even like acting or other actors, he probably would've been fine being a carpenter forever.

I'm everything I want to be, which is a self employed NEET which is making 0 dollars til I finish my work.

the 1% and NEETs are the only ones living okay by my standards.
NEETs do what they want in life instead of selling themselves as part time slaves.
The 1% controls the slaves with money.

Everyone else is just a slave.

Same here, bro. I can shitpost on 4chan from work if I want to. And still get paid pretty well. Neetcucks will never know the feel of being able to do whatever you want because money is no object.

Each time I fly to some tropical island on a vacation, it's full of neets spending their neetbux, staying in 5 star hotels. I'm envious of how they can afford it while I can't.
>>
>>29904164
I do like being able to get whatever I want, whenever I want. If I want a new laptop or phone or whatever, I just buy it. Neets have to save for months just to be able to afford a crappy used laptop if the ones given to them by mommy breaks.

These are NEETs we are talking about. Most wouldn't want to leave their houses let alone go on a trip and have to setup hotels, flights, and have to talk to people.

Nothing stopping them from saving their money and going on a trip anyways.

I don't really give a shit since half those programmers, engineers and chemists have lifestyles either as empty as mine or even fucking worse than mine. They have no free time, they're stressed daily, and their wife is probably fantasising about the big dicked lover she had when she was 18 who blew her mind in a way that nice stable beta hubby never can.

We're supposed to be jealous of them.... why? Because they pay taxes?

At 25 it's rare to have accomplished anything significant yet. The best sign of success is having a good future ahead, by having completed a good degree and gotten a start at a good career, or something like that.

success itself is a meme. its just the endless chase for social status, generation after generation, to secure resources and reproduce before you die. shitty social evolution memes that makes everyones life an anxiety, competition ridden hell, with 90% losers who will only compete against one another and try to pull each other down, and the 10% winners - who don't appreciate what they've won, because its all they've ever known and now they are competing in their own group of winners where they want 100 model groupies instead of only 50

Because that's basically half of your post. The other part is saying engineers have empty lives, which is true I guess. Everyone here on r9k has empty lives.

1) getting quads or higher
2) making enough money to live comfortably without sacrificing 40 hours a week

Yes exactly, others, as in not-me, as in people who had completely different upbringings and facilities.
