You, a dummy: I'm saving for retirement!
Me, a genius: Future's fucked, play video game.
buy a 50 lb bag of rice and stop answering calls
... it's 25lbs of quinoa and i don't have a phone at this point
I’m basically just waiting to get fired and I’ll probably end up doing this. Like, I’ll try to find a new job, but there’s a good chance I can’t.
i mean it is in fact a very unpleasant way to live.
jobs suck. not having a job sucks. we don't got a lot of options.
Well the point of the article is that it wouldn't suck... until you run out of money.
idk i've lived like this and it's fun for like a day
I lived like this and it was fun for the whole time it lasted lmao
maybe you just need better / more challenging hobbies
It's hard to enjoy things when you know you'll be in the street in X amount of days.
Probably video games won't cut it then
Honestly, same. To use corporate speak (ew) I "have not been set up for success."
The modern appel du vide.
L'Appel Du Video Game 
they aren't allowed to do forceful bits like the weatherman predicting societal collapse in NYC, but they still know the math on how this country works and they still want to push that button as hard as any of us
My ass exhausting my reserves playing vidya till 2:00 this afternoon
My grandmother passed and left me a bit of money, and I've been having to resist the urge to do this so badly, since I've been kinda pissed off at my job lately.
lmao yeah, i've been saving money like fucking mr scrooge this year believing that at some point this year there were going to be massive cuts, and i was right! there were massive cuts, except i didn't get the axe. so now i have months worth of savings, probably a year if i get really really frugal (just rent, and amenities and basic food stuff) and i'm sooo tempted to just quit and do nothing. take the chance to work out in public parks or something. write a book. start a psych rock band. make a video game.
mood
Man, my buddy has been playing starfield this whole weekend, and I spent the last two day trying to fix the stupid bathroom sink. I've never been so envious!
I feel that. I'm overdue for a staycation. Spending all this Labor Day watching youtubers and not touching my hobbies out of decision paralysis.
How dare you sir. I have a child. I can't just quit my job and play PS
alone until I run out of money!
spoiler
we shall both play PS5 together 
(we don't have a PS5 lol)
If I wasn't a parent I would seriously consider quitting my job and taking a year long sabbatical to just play street fighter vi full time. See if I could actually manage to get to top 8 in something.
Don't entice me.
