>parents yell at each other all the time
>graduate high school with mediocre GPA
>apply and get into an expensive college but don't put any effort into financial aid and parents make too much for it anyway (even though they gamble it away)
>never go to college because no money
>spend half a decade as a NEET getting shot down by every minimum wage employer in the town except shitholes with insane turnover
>all the while the house goes to shit because parents stop caring and it gets infested with vermin
>eventually decide fuck that and apply to a cheap state school
>get part-time campus job (it's a lot easier to get one than as a neet) and graduate with honors
>make nearly six figures a year out of graduation, own apartment with no roommates
>still hang out/play games with my old friends from my NEET days
>parents split up and moved across the country but both seem happier now

My life isn't perfect, but it's a lot better than it was. I'm not special, I think most of you guys can do it as well. I do miss completely no-lifing games with NEET bros, though.
