How can the Dude live like this with no job? Is it a boomer thing?
How can the Dude live like this with no job? Is it a boomer thing?
My great uncle lived off college loans until he was dead. That was maybe ten years ago? I dunno how doable it is these days.
he mentions something about hanging around a band or something but it's never actually explained where he gets his money from
Rubik's Cube inheritance....is this your first day here? Also, believe it or not, this took place in a time where you COULD work some bullshit part-time job and afford a small apartment.
i thought there was some weird settlement he received. it's not in the movie but i thought that's how he had enough money to have a home
Rug retrieval service.
Jeff Bridges himself thought The Dude was a trust fund baby
that'd make the most sense, it's not like the Dude was living large
the semi-official explanation is that he inherited the money to comfortably live as a NEET.
according to one of the screenplay's earlier draft he's an heir of the guy who invented the Rubik's cube.
Boomers worked their entire lives starting at age 15 and they never took any sick day or holidays.
So if they are living like that it's because they earned it.
yeah, it kinda makes sense. like he got in an accident or something and fell into some money. sounds like the same situation with the rich Lebowski but he's never looking for a handout
Okay you really think the Dude has a work ethic?
I worked with a guy that only worked Saturdays at a warehouse and could afford a small studio apartment in LA. It's possible if you really want to make it happen. All of his money went to his rent and would collect cans for his beer money. Had no utilities too.
This is literally me minus the bowling, Donny, and german nihilists
t. millennial
Me too, except I do work and have my own place (small apartment). How do you sustain yourself?
That man is lying to you about his finances. Don’t be such a rube.
I knew a chick like that who worked 2 days a week and had everything in the world, turns out her bf was in the mafia lol
I pretend to be a human online!
Those houses cost like 135,000 in 1990 when the film takes place so he wasn't living the life of luxury.
income from some disability
inheritance
inherited the house
Pick some of these.
You know, a lotta ins a lotta outs, lotta what-have-Yous
Obvious bullshit story. No offense but you haven’t moved from home yet have you?
He rented and didn’t live in a house , retard. He was late paying rent too. Did you even watch the movie?
Had no utilities
Bullshit.
THE NEETS WILL ALWAYS LOSE, ANON. THE NEETS WILL ALWAYS LOSE
i lived in a van parked in an extremely wooded spot near a nature reserve and would bike to work at a grocery store every 3 days(i worked produce) and would wash my clothes and bathe in the small creek nearby.
i ate at work(i bought a hot plate to cook soups and stuff in the breakroom) and got all the fruit and vegs i could ever want my cost of living was 28 dollars every 3 days, pack of smokes and 30 pack of beer
then i met a girl who worked at the starbucks next door and i spent too much time smoking weed with her during my slow times fixing the avacado display and prepaxkage salad racks i got fired and she let me move in.
we have two kids now and i help run the only steel fabrication yard in 250 miles
i do miss that van life though. winter was some exhilirating "holy shit i cant believe i survived this week" shit. sometimes the manager of certain shifts let me sleep in the breakroom
nta but I currently have no utilities because of the way this old ass house I rent an apartment in was split up into apartments. They can't measure my electrical use apart from my two neighbors so I just don't pay electric. Or that's the idea, if it were me I'd just charge extra rent to make up the difference.
kek i knew a girl from high school that landed the same way. i wondered how well she had it because i think she just bartended and she said her husband had a glassblowing business. turns out he was in the mob
He said he was a roadie for Metallica during the "Speed of Sound tour" at one point, "bunch of assholes".
He was part of the "Seattle Seven".
And a little of this and a little of that.
Do maybe he made bank with that.
youtu.be
He's not exactly loaded.
He rents, and I think it's just a one bedroom house.
And he's late with rent.
And drove a junker.
Still 1990s LA or LA adjacent, he must have had a good nest egg or something.
Was it really necessary for you to come on Anon Babble and tells lies?
Who are trying to impress?
You worked with a guy who was lying to your face about his inheritance
Settlement
severance
inheritance
pension (sometimes can be paid out younger, in the case of accidents or some shit)
maybe some sort of disability neetbux?
pick one or more.
its not lies what the fuck
its easy to live simple life cheaply
we live in rifle colorado i work in gypsum at wylaco
hell half the reason i survived all that shit was having just enough service on my phone to read this website through the slow times
Why do people lie about their money? Do they feel guilty?
washed clothes and bathed in a creek
So your clothes were always stained annd anbras as sandpaper and you and them always smelled like dirty shit? I can’t wait to hear what lie you tell to explain how you dried said clothes in colder months.
Yeah, I bet.
I live like this albeit with more sex, and I'm jobless at 37. A wealth management firm generates my revenue, so I effectively employ people to make money for me through market speculation. (Yeah, I got pretty fucked up by the tariff crash, but I'm still doing okay)
How does one get so lucky to get a position like this? I want to be eternal neet
Have capital to begin with
we live in rifle colorado i work in gypsum at wylaco
this nigger's just making up words now
I'm not really able to explain given the character limit and amount of person information involved, but it's been a weird and wild journey. And even if I wrote an essay explaining everything, you likely wouldn't believe me.
He was Jewish, they get an allowance from the German government.
You don't have to. Did you know people? Are you social? I'm an autist and can't make connections I couldn't land a thing like this even if I tried.
Yeah it's over
Did you know people?
Nope, had an abusive father and was ostracized by half my family because of him. Any and all "connections" I once had are long gone. I was also denied the career I pursued my whole life because I'm a straight white male. And my CV makes me effectively unemployable at my age.
Are you social?
I'm pretty active at my local chess club, and I have a girlfriend, but beyond that no. I'm not bad at socializing, I just don't seem to find many friend-worthy people around these days.
I'm an autist and can't make connections I couldn't land a thing like this even if I tried.
It's probably about 90% luck, 9% will power (I wouldn't have survived without this), and 1% due to your own capabilities and education.
Wew congrats you won.
But he has a job.
He's a private Investigator.
I've already won, but I'm still fighting a legal case involving a fortune 100 company, so I plan to win more.
this was considered funny back then but now it’s how 90% of people dress at the supermarket
you guys ever realize how people in TV shows and movies hardly ever live realistically within their means?
how different would people think about cinema if they saw how shitty the average person's home was
