No you don’t. Unemployed means you’re actively searching for a job. It’s stressful. You want to be retired with a lot of money.
unemployed and not looking for a job here! we do exist, but generally only for short stretches.
Sorry I guess I should have been more specific. In the USA you are not legally considered “unemployed” unless you are searching for a job. https://www.bls.gov/cps/definitions.htm#unemployed
Maybe you are legally unemployed in other countries but the U.S. does not consider you part of the statistics otherwise. So that “unemployment rate” doesn’t include you in it (if you’re in the U.S.).
fuck da government. “un” means “not”, “employed” means “having a job”, im unemployed
If you define yourself by your employment status you probably want to be employed.
huh???
that’s why the “under-employment” statistics exists! it includes such cases, and also cases where you do work but don’t earn enough to live off it.

I dont even need the lots of money, ill take just enough to be comfy and an occasional splurge on expensive toys.
I feel like this would fit 90% of people. The rest would probably want to live in a villa with servants etc. But most people I assume just want to live and enjoy life without needless stress.
still takes millions to reliably do that without working for decades
Or you could spend those decades working and retire with millions, only for predatory health, elder care and funerary systems to siphon all of it away within a few short years. Forget about Boomers leaving an inheritance for the next generations, there are entire industries dedicated to sucking out all their wealth right at the end.
Well I’m halfway there.
Me actively planning what I’ll do once I win the lottery and never actually buying a ticket
i want to be one of those freeloaders media keeps telling me about who lazy around all day while getting a fat social security check from the state
Being 100% remote employee with moderate amount of money in a country with low cost of living is realistically the closest I’ll get to this, so I’ll take it.
the unamerican dream or sth
no but seriously, money isn’t what it’s about, it’s about having reliable living conditions. i don’t actually care whether i can buy my own apartment, as long as i can live in one. and i also don’t care about buying the newest Super Mega Car as long as i can get from A to B somewhat reliably and fast.
and i don’t intend to ever have lots of money. actually i’ve considered living in a monastery for the sole purpose of not having to care about worldly needs. i don’t want to think about “how do i buy X”, i just want it done and move on with my life. realistically, there are no acceptable monasteries around me (i think) as they all suck for different reasons (such as not being allowed to have a girl for sleep-over etc).
Yeah, well, I want to be hot and lazy and eat whatever I want.
10/10 would do again
No, you don’t want to become a billionaire!
