I don't get it that people on here don't worry about money if they probably cannot work

[noname223]

I worry extremely about money. It drives me nuts. My parents will give me money probably for the next 10 years but then I will be dependent on welfare. I've read horrible stories about welfare. I think I cannot do it with that little amount. I am pretty sure if I am on welfare I gonna ctb very soon. (There are of course also other reasons)
I am long time member of this forum. I have read some posts of members who say I cannot work and probably never will. Why don't they go nuts about homelessness, being forced to search for used returnable bottles or being a pariah. Some do not seem to bother.
I live in a country with a normal welfare state (Germany) but imagine I lived in the US or even worse. That would be even (way) worse.

Don't tell me welfare in Germany was not that bad. I have met a refugee from South Sudan in the clinic. He told me welfare in Germany is way too little. He received it for a long time. If even he could not do it I never will and to be honest I do not even want to do it.
I think with this few money I could not do so many of my hobbies, I could never see my friends (Train ticket). I hope so much I die before poverty comes. Though I have the strong sentiment that if I want to have that happen I have to do it by my own.

Wellfare is not enough to live on but people who genuinely feel they will ctb stop caring about these things because they are in a place more serious which makes issues surrounding money a temporary issue that may never become bad enough for them becaise they will no longer be around.

If you are having thoughts of your future and travelling you would appear, on the surface to have reason to live and some quality of life. This might be the differce between yourself and those that appear not to have concerns about well fare. Speaking from experience I can say that when I had quality of life I felt the same way as you and well fare was not a feasible long term solution for me. I also didn't/don't have support from parents financially so even more so. Now I have lost all quality of life my priorities and cares surrounding finances have taken a dive because how much worse can things get, right!? If I were to be fivwn my health back I would be steaight back into feeling concern about it and I would be getting back to work with a smile. Surprisingly a shit 9 to 5 from the memories I have of my early years is so appealing in comparison to my current state of 'life'. I swore I would never do it again and believed things couldn't be any worse than slaving that way but if I had my health bag at the cost of doing so I would need to be asked twice!

There are many ways to make money theae days as the internet opens up opportunities. If you have support from family you may be able to use their help as capital to get something started. Crafts are quite saleable. Also upacaling/recycling furnature and niche items. I know of somebody who makes rings out of disgarded animal horns and makes a good living. The trick is finsing a niche that you can put your skills to and being consitant with good customer service. Etsy type services make it easier to grow a brand if you'rw prepared to put in a littlw lwg woek. It doesn't happen over night but if the products are good they will sell. Sale will pick up if you offer good service and quality. It's a very good idea to tie your peoducts together with a theme. For example upscaling and recycling are becoming buzz words more and more but as many people are doing it now (which I'm glad for) you can calve an identity with youe niche by theming it around an aesthetic or something of a similar nature. Celtic. Pagan. Family bonding. Art deco. The possibilities are wide and varied. :)

And think that in my country there is no welfare whatsoever for unemployed people, and we have rougly 10% of unemployment rate.
Thats why i need to die really quick

 

[yive]

I have always thought how hard it must be for people with no wellfare system. No public health care too. It must be so hard. Whilst the wellfare system in countries that do have it are often massively flawed and in many cases corrupted it is quite embarrassing to think that we are here feeling sorry for ourselves when people like yourselves have it much worse. I feel for you.

Money will be useless when the collapse comes. I'll be trading pieces of rope for chimken and covfefe. When I have no chimken left I will drink SN.

I am lucky there is a welfare system in my country. Life is not fair and this is hard on people like you.

We have public healthcare, just no welfare for unemployed people. One thing that you hear most here is that the family is the real welfare for the young people, and guess what? i have no family

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

I am on welfare (disability benefits). It's truly miniscule amount that barely allow to survive. Thankfully I have savings and a little income.

 

[BornBrief]

money is the reason i will die

 

[BluesRunTheGame]

Welfare can hold you up for a while (and it's easier to get than you might think); I mean it's a GOOD THING. Especially if you live in Germany, where NEETbuxx is probably very generous, in spite of what your buddy may have told you.

Imagine a country where the average monthly salary is $288, the average house rent is $150, and the monthly cost of food is $100. It's only for 1 person, if you work 60 hours a week! Inflation is crazy. All food prices have almost doubled in one year. Everything will get worse. The other day, in a city, 3 people committed suicide on the same day for financial reasons.

 

[marinekiwi]

Things are really getting bad now with the energetic crisis, lack of electronic circuitry and rare minerals on top of the damn pandemic.
Cost of living is starting to skyrocket, we can see by just going to the grocery store.

Due to this whole crisis, suicide rate will most likely increase in all countries.
So yes, people often ctb for financial reasons.

My parents were on disability when I was a child. I'm on disability currently. Shit pay and I need the foodbank and soup kitchen. I've had to prostitute myself to afford both rent/bills and food.

But I'm used to it. I was poor as fuck as a kid, I'm poor as fuck in my 30s. Nothing has changed.

Maybe you are in the wrong place.

I'd say it could be manageable with Hartz 4. With additional foodbank support and social warehouses most basic expenses should be affordable, you're not homeless at least, and you can earn a bit more with a Minijob. I think our fellow Americans here live through much tougher times, especially because of lacking health care.

Proud of you. I know I shouldn't say that but it's what I want to do

I'm old man and broke, but not worried much about money. I am still useful to women. Women, gots shit tons of $$$. Bookoo Bucks. One one hand I do want to die but on the other, I am compelled to see how much money women are willing to spend on me.

Is this how it works? Do you look very good? I imagined MANY scenarios how I could escape this (money) misery. Finding a rich partner might be pretty good. I might sell my soul for it.

I was being facetious. Kinda. In truth I have dated several affluent successful professionals. But it wasn't about me wanting a sugar momma. It was more about... establishing true gender equality, and, I needed help getting my stuff out of the pawn shop, and.... how much is a full body massage - with warm fragrant vanilla scented oils and lotions, worth to you -- woman?

"Do you look very good"? Lol no I am fugly as a Baboon's butt.
I do have purty baby blue eyes though. Got that much goin for me.

 

[Zzzzz]

I worry a lot about it, Because it's further suffering.

Like I think so too. There is always a worse to a situation. Life can be so unbelievable bad.

 

[Fadeawaaaay]

I'm sure that people here worry a lot about money- It's probably a major reason they are thinking of ending things
