Is it really okay that I’m 27 and living happily on just $60 a month?

[Anonymous]

I’m 27, I don't work, and I’ve never had a job in my life. My mom gives me $60 a month, and I live like a prince. It’s the family home, so there’s no rent. No water bills, no electricity bills. I almost never leave the house except for the gym, and when I do, I use my mom’s free transit card—I haven't been caught yet. My mom does all the cooking. My biggest expense is the gym; it costs me $30 a month, but if I didn't work out, I’d get to keep that too. I save the remaining $30 to buy a PS5, Xbox, or Steam games every now and then. I spend most of my day gaming. Right now, I’m living like a prince on $60 a month. If I earned a minimum wage, man... I’d live like a king. I’d immediately go into debt to build an RTX 5090 system and sink my entire salary into games. I’d have an incredible game library. But honestly, $60 is enough for me. As long as I have $30–$60 in my pocket every month, life is perfect. I’m not looking for a job. $60 suits me fine. I’m not greedy. It would be nice to have more, but I’m not going to cry about it if I don't..."

That's wild.

You're really happy living like that? I don't understand how you get gratification from gaming 24/7 and not doing much else with your life. Doesn't that get boring?

I can play a video game for an hour or two before I get bored and think "what am I even doing with my life".

But ultimately, if you're happy, then who am I to tell you it's wrong provided you're not hurting anyone else in the process...

I just hope you don't grow out of that phase or you're going to find yourself in a world of pain when you lack the skills required to obtain a different lifestyle.

"I don't understand how you get gratification from gaming"

This industry is really skilled at delivering exactly that, like really really really skilled

That's great, if you can manage it but, who pays your bills? My electric bill, alone, is over $60 a month!!

If you are happy with it, who am I to criticize you?

What are you going to do when your mom dies? Life is not static. Just because it works now does not mean it'll work forever.

When your parents finally get smart and throw you out, we'll see how good you do.

You live at home. Ladies won't date you.

If you’re good with it, sure.

If you are happy then I guess it's okay.
