Why Do I REFUSE to get a Job?
-
Before judging me, please read my entire question. I recently just turned 30 years old, and have been moping around the house at my parents since I have no job and also, no desire to get one. The thing is- for the past 10 years I have been working odd jobs here and there, always a wage slave and always in some micro-management environment. No matter where I go, I always here from the coworkers "It used to be better. But now things are changing. Now they have made cutbacks, and we are expected to do more work." Why do I want to keep working more and more, while earning less money? There's no point in earning a living if all the jobs keep expecting us to do more workload. I miss the 90s- when the economy was in a great condition, with more then 20 million new jobs and surplus for all. Anyways, because of this I refuse to find work. I would rather live with my parents and have the benefits of no job while I focus on my new career as a freelance writer for online sites. Oh, I still help around every once in a while, dusting the table counters and vacuuming if I make a mess. Since my father is also retired, my mother will come home from work and grumble, "Its like I'm married to two men." I always laugh at this, though my mother doesn't think its funny. Recently I sat down with both my parents and explained to them my plans for the future. I am a college degree holding individual, but I have not found a career I am interested in. And with EVERY job I have had, its always the same thing: It USED to be better, but now there are cutbacks, and NOW you are expected to do the jobs that used to be done by numerous people. I refuse to struggle like that, and just because there are more people out of work and companies know they can hire people to work for peanuts, I will not conform to that lifestyle. My mother balked that I was mooching off her, though my father somewhat understood. "I still think you need to support yourself", he mumbled- then went back to his evening crossword puzzle. My mother, however, does not like what I am doing. I secretly plan on living there until my parents die of old age. Then I can inherit the house and hopefully use the money they leave me to support my art career- which will be done at home, of course. They're both in their sixties now so I figure I have a good fifteen years before they pass. I still love them of course, but I need means of independent living soon. I also need to see if I can get my Grandmother to forward me some of my inheritance money. Am I wrong to do this? Why be a wage slave when I can live at home and not worry about working for a boss I hate? And rules I loathe more?

Answer:
What you are talking about is actually quite common in Europe, where everything is super-expensive. As long as your parents are cool w it, rock out. Things change, so while it's good to have a plan, keep your options open, maybe you'll find something in your field (art) that will allow you to be more independent

It's pretty clear that you're trolling. You flip-flopped from a writing career to an art career within a few paragraphs, and the fact that trolls always try to push their luck by making it less believable (re: waiting for your parents to die.) Try harder next time. In the event that this question is entirely genuine, then I'm afraid that I must judge you. Where did you get this ridiculous sense of entitlement? Everyone else works hard, and you are no exception.

If I were your parents, I'd sell that house and move into senior housing without you. And if I were judging this troll, I'd give it a 2 out of 10. (You got the points for spelling and grammar, not for content.)
