I'm pretty close to that: Quoting: Super Bowl Dave No house (rent a couch). Never buy anything. Work for myself. No TV. No music, except in the car sometimes. No sex. Few friends. Actually, it kinda sucks. It's all about perspective. I don't think it sucks. I see it as a transition. I have no desire to continue to live the dead-end lives everyone lives. I like being different. |

You're not happy about it truly, are you? I feel like you sometimes. The purpose in life is not material possessions,entertainment or pleasure but to love, which I am failing at and why I feel like you. I love someone but am afraid to let myself take a risk to put myself out there, for fear of rejection and insecurity. I think I am betraying myself, I am such a coward. |

What I really hate are bills, piles of bills. Quoting: Super Bowl Dave The idiocy of a car payment, insurance and gas and maintenance just so you can get to work to work to pay for the car payment, insurance, gas and maintenance so you can get to work. The fucking grind. You want a small 'nut', a very low monthly cost to stay alive, with hopefully extra money to invest in something or save it. I hear ya. I agree. But, I am not concerned about saving, hoarding, scrimping or investing. I am just completely watching the world go by. No, I'm not depressed or suicidal. Happy actually. I just not longer care about any of it. |

Turn On, Tune In, and Drop Out. Being 60 is far out. I feel 30, and have been told I look 40. Maybe it's because I did that a long time ago. Well, maybe not ALL that, but enough to be free. ~Godspeed~ |

And I feel the exact same way.. I thought it was age first.. im 36.. but now I don't know. I'm single with no kids and a part time job which gives me a little food to eat while I live in a shed on my parents property that I built two years ago. Well don't think I'm lazy.. I earned a bachelor's degree in 2003 in Biology. I gave up a while back when I realized that the "normal" life is nothing but a RIGGED rat race.. which no rat will EVER win.. Like on a hamster wheel.. that the longer you go.. the harder it is to get off of it.. until it's too late and you've been on it so long.. that now there IS NO WAY OFF! Mortgage.. 2 cars.. white picket McMansion.. 2.5 kids that will soon hate you as they become teens.. after you worked your life away to give them designer jeans, and piano lessons. Fuck it all.. and ya know.. my wife will never leave me high and dry to go fuck another man.. while I pay for it.. because ya know what pal..?? I WILL NEVER GET MARRIED! Good luck op.. we are the proud few! |

Yes, I know how you feel. TPTB have removed all enjoyments in life. I no longer watch TV. I could afford cable but will not spend a fortune on it when I rarely turn it on to watch their propaganda and commercials. I am widowed and don't see getting into a relationship ever again as the women today seem insane and most carry way too much baggage. If they don't get their way then they can easily make things up about you and report it to anyone and the next thing you know you have the Gestapo at your front door. Plus you have no idea if you are playing Russian Roulette with the women and whatever desease they might have. Way too many sluts out there and no way to know which ones are screwing everyone in town. I rarely leave the house anymore except to go get essentials. I can drive down the road and within a mile or 2 see militerized cops everywhere looking to stop you for the smallest infraction. I am retired and would love to go out for a meal, shoot some pool and drink a few beers but in my state if you just drink one beer then you are legally drunk. I have plenty of money to spend in the local economy but it has just become too much of a hassle. The cops are killing the local economy because I am not alone and know many people who feel just like me and so their money stays at home in their pockets. If they were so concerned about drunk driving then make a law that all establishments serving alchohol have to be located within walking distance of a motel so you can just check in and sleep if off if you have had too much. Bottom line is that nothing is fun anymore. It is all a big hassle. . |

Been out in the world and lived a very colorful life, chasing dreams and following ambitions. None of that matters to me at all anymore. There's really nothing "out there". Been on numerous adventures but now I just like being home and hanging with my boyfriend and daughter. I can't think of one thing that I would like to do or go. I just love reading my Bible. I even stopped kicking hackey sack...and I love to kick. Maybe it's a phase I'm going through. |
