Does your being NEET creep people out?

Can't isolate whether it is exactly due to being NEET - but perhaps I'm making all of the wrong mistakes when it comes to responding to that dreaded question, "What do you do for a living?"

Due to the embarrassment of being NEET (even though I know it is nothing to be ashamed of, but still feel that society judges), just tell people that I am retired - but then get the follow-up questions, like,

"How did you manage that?"

"What do you live on?"

"Oh you have savings? You must have A LOT!!!" (Made that mistake once. Said I have a savings account - which is actually quite small - but it led people to think I have a chunk of cash to live on."

People are soooo nosy.

A guy on r/Unemployed laments on why he's unemployed:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unemployed/comments/8zuoax/real_talk_why_im_unemployed/

Real talk. Why I'm unemployed.


I've chosen to be unemployed. Ever since I graduated college I realized I can't do the 9-5 office job. There's more to life than being stuck inside an office all day wearing clothes I don't want to wear. I can't do meaningless shit and work with people who's souls have been sucked out of. I'm not gonna commute to work, come home, make dinner, watch a little tv, and repeat the cycle over. I'm not gonna work just to pay off bills and have two meager weeks of vacation. I'm not gonna have some annoying boss watching my every move and threatening me if I break some stupid rule. Ya I'm pretty much rebelling against the system.

NEET isn't:

- Temporary unemployment
- Summer break in college
- Short break between jobs

NEET is:

- No education
- No employment history besides being fired after 3 days 10 years ago at some low level job
- No desire/ambition to do anything
- Wake up at 4pm, sleep at 6am
- Mom cooks, cleans, does your laundry
- Watch anime and play video games all day
- No job prospects. Any attempts at higher education surely leading to failure.

I thought I'd get bored of it pretty quickly but surprisingly I could have gone on longer. It was a 1 and a half month break between my previous job and this one.

You're confusing a couple months of break between doing productive things with NEETdom.

Beneath this high-tech sheen, however, the online retailer and tech giant engages in labor practices that provoke comparisons to a 19th-century sweatshop. The company routinely pays wages barely above the poverty line, while using intrusive surveillance systems to monitor the workforce, fence them in with elaborate rules, set target times for their warehouse journeys, and then measure whether targets were met. All of this information is made available to management in real time, and if Amazons employee-athletes fall behind schedule, they receive a Big Brother-like text message pushing them to reach their targets or suffer the consequences. Failure to do so is met with a three strikes and release discipline system being a euphemism for getting sacked.

Move.

I pay $1250 a month for mortgage (principal, interest, property tax, home insurance, PMI) and utilities. It's an 1800sqft 3 bed 3 bath house with attached two car garage.

Why people willingly choose to live somewhere that you need to earn six figures to be considered not in poverty has always confused me but then again I've never tried it out myself. Maybe the pros of living there outweigh the cons of how much it costs.

The alternative is moving to somewhere poorer where the wages will also be proportionality lower.

But what is the point in making a higher wage if it all goes to bills and living cost ?

There's jobs available that aren't manual labor, for starters
