>>54739212This is the only true version.
This is coming from somebody who has lived through both lifestyles, minus the crying parents.
Being a NEET may be fun at first, but doing the same thing gets boring and before you know it, you don't have the motivation to change jack shit.
Working is different in a sense it constantly keeps you busy (at least with my manufacturing job) and you do fall asleep easier.
Both are equally shitty except in some rare cases.
