How do NEETs exist?

[GetToTheTop]

How do they get money without jobs?

Existence

[ゆのーさん]

neets dont get money. that's why they are neets
if they had money they would be the rich instead

[mimizukari]

easy.... we "work" when we want and do games the rest of the day, it's called self-employment. you just do a couple things online a day which take no longer than an hour or two and can be done while watching anime or gaming, then reap the rewards...

As a NEET I've accumulated a titan RTX pc, become a content creator and more... You can do whatever you want and don't have to conform to the "system"

What's the work though?

[AWAWA Liz]

Oh. I used to be a NEET then but I still had funds left over from my last job I had and I could not figure out what else to do after my last job. Now I work for a local bread bakery. It took so long to to find my current job.

I just get free items and sell them on marketplace and buy games.

Inheritance

Or they live in their parent's basement and freeload

[=CrimsoN=]

Parents usually enable them, because they wouldn't want to see them starve or homeless (which is understandable), but it also creates a trap of dependence.

I knew someone like this irl. She has Asperger's and used that as her excuse to never get a job (mind you, I have 2 friends with Aspergers and they are both employed and both graduated college, so I personally think that's a bs excuse for anything). In addition she dropped out of high school and never worked for a GED. She blames everyone else for her problems and never takes accountability because her mother (whom is also "disabled") encourages her not to, while also discouraging her from ever getting a job and putting her down whenever she got the chance. It was an incredibly strange and toxic relationship to witness. She basically lives on disability.

I knew a NEET who was very wealthy, due to a large inheritance.

^Or this.

I often have periods of NEETery due to my poor physical and mental health. I used to rely on social welfare during those times. But now my partner makes enough money to cover our expenses when I'm too ill to work.

You have found a good person to share your life with then.

If you work, you're not a NEET.

self employed random content creator work isn't actual work. NEET = not in education, employment, or training, nobody employs me, I do my own thing and get $$.

this too.

You said you were self-employed. Self-employed = employed, by definition.

by whom? none other than I, if you find a penny on the street I guess you're self-employed too?

If you're doing something and getting paid, you're working, AKA employed.

It doesn't matter if you're not working for someone, you're still working and getting paid.

Not a NEET.

[Magma Dragoon]

seasonal work and a frugal lifestyle, or so I've heard

[Grendalcat]

Never heard this term before, but I know lots of NEETS.
Almost all of them are sponging off the system.

i wonder that about Hikikomoris
