Don’t suggest hobbies or human contact. It’s been suggested and it doesn’t work.
I have a job I don’t particularly hate nor like, some coworkers I get along with others are just morons, I go to work, then buy groceries, go home, eat, watch tv, go to bed. Rinse and repeat.
On my free days I do sport and watch pirated netflix. I don’t spend much money on clothing or media and save most of my paycheck. What for? I have no idea. I don’t eat out because I like cooking my own food and restaurants are expensive and the food is bland.
Everything is so expensive nowadays btw…
Most people bore me. I’m like an atheist monk.
I don’t want to kill myself or anybody fwiw. It’s like I don’t give a crap about anything or anyone and don’t see what’s the point of living.
I don’t want to travel because it costs money.
As soon as my cognitive abilities start to fail I’m going to be very easy prey for any online scammer.
Or if OP is concerned about being too frivolous with money and is under 40 (more ideally under 30) with a college degree, it’s really damn easy to get a job teaching English in Japan. These days most of those positions pay peanuts but it’s enough to live on and you generally have enough free time to go around and see some things in a new place.
China and Saudi Arabia still pay 3 to 6K US a month, and it’s even easier to get a teaching job in those countries than japan(taught for a while myself, so I like checking the salaries every now and then)
I agree, he should get out there.
