and the comfy NEET 
A young finance analyst was grinding away at his job in investment banking, working 80-hour weeks while studying for his CFA certification. One day, he went to visit his parents for the weekend and saw his old high school friend—let's call him Chad—lounging in the basement, playing video games with a bag of chips at his side.
The analyst shook his head. "Dude, what are you even doing with your life?"
Chad took a sip of his energy drink. "Not much, just gaming, chilling, and vibing. Got my needs covered."
"But don't you want to be successful? Make real money?" the analyst asked.
"Why?" Chad shrugged.
"So you can invest, build wealth, and one day, become financially independent!"
"And then what?" Chad asked, barely looking up from his controller.
"Then, you won't have to work anymore. You can just relax, play video games all day, and do whatever you want!"
Chad paused his game, turned to his friend, and smirked. "But bro… I already do that now."
The analyst stared in silence as his entire worldview shattered.
