Comment on Anon sacrifices for the family

It’s not necessarily on purpose or being a burden on anyone. Last year I spent quite a while as a NEET living off my savings while job hunting. Yes it’s generally tied to those who are voluntarily unemployed without savings or responsibilities, but that’s just among those taking pride or joking about it. It’s just an economic category, and it’s one that I and many others fear we may be forced into in the near future.

  There’s some others in this thread that really need to read your comment, but they are to busy making excuses for strangers.

  NEET is people who actively do not pursue employment, aren’t in school, and who refuse to work at all. Most often they are just young people who are totally dependent on their families/parents. Sometimes they are just rich people who don’t have to work and fuck around. Often they are socially isolated and don’t have active social involvement with anyone.
  
  NEET literally means “Not in employment, education or training”, it’s just not usually used by people who are in school or short-term unemployed.
