My comments on this article seem pretty heavily disagreed with but here's my point. He doesn't want to work at amazon, he doesn't want to lose his benefits. Yet he spends almost no money in rent and does nothing so likely has a good amount of money saved up. He enjoys painting figurines and such things. Why not try and find a way to market that skill? It can certainly be done. Even while keeping his amazon job. Find ways to make money outside work. He clearly has the time and money to set some goals and put a plan into action. If he's so unhappy maybe do that? He works 4 days a week. I work 6 days and manage to fo visit my friend once a week, cook proper meals for myself, program, play music and have hobbies I enjoy doing. Many of the things he said were straight up 'I can't be bothered to do this so my life sucks' That is entirely his choice. Sometimes you have to take chances in life if you're unhappy. He should have enough money saved up to be able to live off it for a while. If he's too scared to lose his benefits and pursue what he wants that's his choice. I would respect him far more if this was a story about how he quit amazon, tried to change his life and failed than this. Even failure is more respectable because at least he tried to take his life into his own hands. This is just a whiny rant about how he's too scared to live life. It's his life, it's up to him to do what he wants.
