I'm serious. If you take minimalism to it's logical conclusion and stop working the government will start throwing benefits at you as if you're poor due to a lack of asset testing.
The cost of survival and entertainment is so low that you may as well do nothing.
Duh. Also sell weed and do sex work. Put it all in Bitcoin. I used to suck dicks for 10 dollars a pop and put it all in Bitcoin in 2009. I never sold. I'm not a multi-millionaire.
I miss the days of staring into a mans eyes and guzzling his cum, and asking him if I was a good little slut. I'm straight, though.

Furthermore, alternative lifestyles such as living in a vehicle, mobile home, tiny home, off-gridding or living rural can drive your cost of living down so low that you can easily retire off of less than 100k with gibs.
You don't have to resort to illegal activity though.
You can get a shit/easy job doing anything and have more than enough money if you drive down your cost of living and take what's freely offered to you.
Blake Nelson
Living by the mercy of the government is not sustainable I think. You should be financially independent.
Joshua Thompson
There's no asset test though. You could have 100k in the stock market and still get benefits.
Even if you were cut off it would be far less than an emergency.
What you are talking about though is scamming the system to get neetbux.
I don't advocate lying.
All I'm saying is that if you have a large amount of money saved up but no income (because you no longer need to work) then the gub will still offer you free healthcare.
There's no deception involved.
Jonathan Sanchez
Oh and ADHD, but everyone has that.
Nolan Baker
Came across the DuckDAO hunters game, does anyone take part in it?
Looks like this crypto incubator can provide good instruments for investments. Please, share your opinion about it
Jason Ross
Figure it out yourself you fucking retard jesus christ.
Levi Kelly
Dude, just stay in bed for 3-5 days, answer no calls, don't open your door etc... Then go to your shrink and say ou couldn't handle it anymore. And walla you're free to go
Joshua Nelson
Also stop lying.
Kevin Hall
yes if you're willing to accept an incredibly low standard of living. also welfare isn't really a thing in america unless you're a nigger or a woman. most people who "don't work" are on disability and it pays like $600/month. i think this is my what friend gets, he's on schizophreniabux.
Adam Sullivan
>There's no asset test though yes there is >Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is a needs-based program. To get SSI, your countable resources must not be worth more than $2,000 for an individual or $3,000 for a couple. We call this the resource limit.
Elijah Jackson
I think it depends on where you live as well. I hear in Europe it's pretty good but over here your entire paycheck would barely be able to afford a rental for a tiny room in a house. If you want to be a degenerate and feign a mental illness disability you're still not getting that much more. Also in general the idea of living off the taxpayer is taxing on the conscience, even though going to work means getting fucked by the rich who do the exact same thing. It seems like the only two options are be taken advantage of or take advantage of others and there is no gray area
Xavier Sanchez
I'm talking about Expanded Medicaid, and EBT to a far lesser degree.
Ethan Evans
You can live off that if you do a little thinking though. Even well if he already owns his own property or lives at home.
>Even well if he already owns his own property or lives at home. he lives with his insane mom (who is also on SSI disability) in a house they pay for with their pooled SSI disability income. he'll probably live with her until she dies.
Lucas Jenkins
This is an interest take.
I've noticed that the same people who criticize those who take welfare would take a massive tax break in a second and also still cashed their totally unnecessary stimulus checks.
It seems that you can rationalize "stealing" in different ways depending on what team play for politically.
Chase Young
Is he allowed to work at all? Like is there an income limit for him?\
Even if it's low I think he could easily combine his gubbux and wagebux and move out somehow. Or just live in his car.
That sounds like a terrible situation jesus christ. I hope he makes it.
Brandon Rogers
i think it's like $700/month. i think he's too mentally fucked up to work again, between schizophrenia/depression/ocd symptoms which require several different medications, occasional voluntary commitment to psych wards, routine psychiatry check-ins, and weekly therapy sessions.
Kevin Sullivan
Holy fuck. Poor guy. That's awful. I'm so sorry. I can't imagine watching my friend degrade into literal insanity.
What is like being friends with someone like that? Was he always like that?
Jeremiah Cox
Does anyone on Zig Forums have any sort of hope of raising children? Is getting $600a month to live in your shitbox apartment alone eating cereal playing video games really a fulfilling life for you? Jesus fucking christ no wonder western men are doomed
Blake White
didn't start until he was 26 or 27 years old. it's the typical late 20s/early 30s onset for schizophrenia, my uncle had the same shit happen to him in his early 30s. my uncle was fine and then started a slow downward spiral that ended with repeated commitments to the psych ward, different medications that didn't work, electroshock therapy (nasty shit), medications that did work, periods of stability where he worked a normal job driving a truck, and then various factors (lack of discipline and not taking the medications, and possibly the medications losing effectiveness) which lead to him going on disability and living in a group home and not working again.
Colton Harris
Jesus dude. That's awful.
Good luck to both of them. Good on you for sticking around.
Jordan Long
It really isn't that bad. It's much better than being a wagecuck.
If I wanted a family I probably wouldn't mind working though. I would want the best for my kids.
The problem is that this lifestyle is highly addicting. Even if it's less fulfilling and happy and it's vastly more secure and free.
There are trade offs in everything.
Please remember that before you start lifestyle pissing contest with random people.
