I've met my fair share of people like this and the mysterious source of income is almost always "family money".
Either that or life savings and a financial countdown that they ignore until they run dry
this is me this summer.
Yes yes, now where do I find this "family money" you speak of?
That's easy, just go back in time and choose a richer family to be born into.
fuck around and seduce rich polyamorous people
some are in the organised crime business..
Where does one apply for one of these businesses?
You're describing vacation, no? I have 6+ weeks of paid vacation every year. In Europe. Sure, six weeks isn't the entire summer, but with the vacation days saved from previous years (since I rarely use more than four weeks) I could easily live work free for months. Granted, my income wouldn't be mysterious...
Sorry, but the income source being mysterious is non-negotiable.
This is clearly an American centric meme, where having a week of paid vacation is a luxury and affording a flight to Europe is a fantasy.
Goddamn, where in Europe? France? I get only 5 weeks.
I work fulltime and have 13 weeks of vacation, but i'm an outlier. between 4 (mininum) to 6 weeks is common.
Damn, I'm getting just over 10 weeks this year and thought I was doing very well!
Let’s just say, I make problems disappear.
“You have an Only Fans for dudes into out of shape dads?”
…You couldn’t have guessed “assassin “ first man? …and you’re right, okay!?
There's a market for this? Why the fuck am I doing a 9 to 5, I should start an onlyfans. Oh wait onlyfans don't give me a visa at least not yet.
i've been unemployed in europe with a mysterious source of income (my union) for eight months now. shit sucks.
That's me, just not for one summer. I have a military disability pension, I'm 39 and get 3k on my bank account each month (with taxes already deducted). I don't have to work anymore for the rest of my life, due to PTSD from deployments. I can do whatever the fuck I want and I'm getting the money to support that. Scarred for life though, life is a struggle every day. If I could choose, I'd pick working normally with no mental issues any time.
Disability pension isn't exactly easy to come by. You can only get it if a doctor manages to convince someone who's entire job is to stop you from getting it by any legal means necessary that you are incapable of holding a job because of what is affecting you 24-7 365.
It's less a jackpot than a consolation prize.
I have realized what the problem is with vacations:
We no longer take off as part of a giant team that continues without us letting us just jump back in when back but for a lot of us it simply pauses our work without pausing the buildup.
There's not a casual getaway its a calculated loss or later tension and math quiz on whether it is worth it.
Thats literally the wrong way to lose stress.
Office next door started this thing in 2019. basically your entitled holidays carry over forever. And as permanent employee you can take upto 2 months of unpaid holidays on top without being fired, so basically people take 1-2 months vacations every year. One of the guy who we know hadn't taken a holiday since 2019. He is now basically taking 9 months off work and 6.5 of those is paid at his full salary.
Motherfucker is starting the whole thing with muay thai retreat.
That's awesome. In germany you can't save up your vacation days, you have to use them up usually until March of the following year, otherwise you will lose them. Which is stupid, i would like to save some up each year and maybe retire like a year early then.
It's called being on the dole, no? It's nice for a while, then you need some activity or I would get insane. Been there, done that, can't complain. Happy to work again but glad the system exists (getting worse though).
Almost there! I'm in Brazil getting US money!
Still working tho...
The (south) american dream
As a European, same.
Stalk a billionaire until you catch them doing one of those reprehensible things billionaires do.
Then send messages to them through an anonymous source, and demand a small regular payment through untraceable means.
I bet every billionaire has about 100 of those in their payroll.
Summer? More like for the next 60 years.
I just managed to find a job I liked with people I liked and have a nice home.
yes. that.
I'd go insane. Id just find a new work to keep busy.
DOES BRO WANTS TO BE EPSTEIN???!!!
Just come to germany, the government basically gives free money to everyone who comes here. Just claim that u seek asylum. Make sure to throw away your passport and other papers that can identify you. Then they can't deport you. Stay long enough and you can get Bürgergeld, which means the government is paying your rent, healthcare and you get like 560 Euros per month or so.
You sound like the German version of a Trumper.
Looser alert ^
So the free money before is even less?
