Shit man. Your early 30’s are when you’re supposed to knuckle down. This will push marriage back another five years for you. Do you know how hard it will to find a decent wife in your late 30’s? Harder than it is now and you’re already pretty unsuccessful. What a fucking mess, Fussbett.
Also, I don’t know if you’ve spent months/years unemployed without an excuse in a western country, but it fucks you up. Society is designed to make productive people feel better about themselves and it never seems totally convincing until you’re on the wrong side of it.
Here's what I suggest:
Spend the next two weeks ONLY playing video games just like you thought you wanted to and then, when you start to feel like shit, travel somewhere cheap for four months. Indonesia will do. From Jakarta, apply for a one year NZ working VISA. People up to the age of 36 qualify for one year no-questions-asked NZ working VISAs. In the UK, you’ve gotta be younger than 28 and I think the Aussy cutoff is 30. NZ’s got your back, though Grandpa. Your currency will go a long way there. You can buy a two bedroom house in the South of the South Island for $NZ60,000 which is about $US50k (or a handsome little farmlet for $200k). It's very pretty and there's a 1% unemployment rate down there. You can make $US40k/y only working mornings milking cows. Spend your afternoons writing or sewing or some shit, and then snowboard on the weekends. It would be a great way to spend a year. I was two days away from that lifestyle when I was offered my current job, which, HOLY FUCK, is so awesome and respectable and hilarious.
It sucks you didn’t flip out a year ago or I could’ve met you in Asia. Now I’m tied up for three years and by then you’ll have sorted yourself out. I’ll still have Jerry, though. That guy isn’t going anywhere for at least half a decade. Right Jerry?
