How do you live your life.


My life may be different from everyone else's.
I've been staying at home for 9 years.
Let me talk about my life.
1. I usually cook and eat by myself. My favorite rice is Wuchang rice from the firewood courtyard, I don't know if it's real, but the taste is okay. I haven't made up my mind to buy more expensive Wuchang rice.
2. My child has never taken extra classes outside of school institutions. Mainly to save money, and secondly, I really have plenty of time. I teach him myself, using AI and my own memories from when I was studying. Currently, except for some time-consuming final questions, I can handle everything else. I also secretly motivate myself to surpass classmates who are frantically taking extra lessons outside school.
3. I don't fish, hike, or socialize; I spend over 10 hours a day in front of the computer. Sometimes I get so absorbed that I hardly shop. When I temporarily quit gaming, I have more than 10 hours a day for work. When I temporarily stop working, I spend over 10 hours a day gaming.
4. I have no concept of holidays because every day feels like a holiday. Others travel and shop crazily during holidays, engaging in revenge spending, which I find strange. Usually, I work myself to exhaustion, then spend all the money I earn during holidays. What’s the point of that? Have they ever thought about saving more money to get out of this life faster? Always fighting to be the top, not wanting to buy their freedom?
5. Even with some money, the resistance to staying at home isn’t small. Resistance comes from all sides. Mine might be a bit less. If I were a prominent figure in the workplace, or had a stable position, or a high income, the resistance to staying at home might be much greater. Unfortunately, I don’t have any of those. My job doesn’t make much money and isn’t enjoyable. I was once considered a high-education, low-wage person in the village. Junior high and vocational school students in the village earn more than me as a college graduate. Anyway, working doesn’t make money, and not working doesn’t matter either.
6. Why do I have an obsession with staying at home? Besides my low salary and unhappiness at work, I think the most important reason is my father’s influence. My father, although a worker, retired very early by chance. He retired before 50. Never underestimate a father’s influence on his children. I also hope my children can learn from me and leave the workforce early. Spend 5-10 years working first, then start a business or work independently.
7. My father’s influence on me also includes frugality. I am very happy if I can finish every meal. If I have to throw away a lot, I feel sad. I get upset if I buy something that doesn’t work well; I feel happy if I buy something that lasts many years without breaking. I rode my electric motorcycle for 8 years, and I sold it a few days ago. I was very happy, feeling I didn’t waste anything. Frugality is ingrained in me.
8. The most important thing to me is my family. Comments from netizens can hurt me for a second. But when my child says, “Dad is a jobless wanderer,” I restart my social media. I really shouldn’t play too many games, especially in front of my child. Watching news, learning AI, writing articles—these are all good.
9. My expectations for my child are not high; as long as he can surpass me, that’s enough. I am actually very easy to surpass, especially since my child is standing on my shoulders.
