So, your adult child lives at home but does nothing all day. Seriously, nothing. They have no job, no interests, no plans, no life. You're tired of asking them, tired of nagging, losing patience and deep down, you wonder; will I ever get to retire

You're past the point where it's just a phase. All you hear are excuses. While some might be valid, you can't help but wonder - how can they be okay living their life like this? Well, I've got news for you. And it's not good.

There is a whole community of young adults who are perfectly content with this lifestyle. They don't tell YOU that. But amongst themselves, they think it's okay. They even have a name for themselves, and it's NEET. And no, I did not mispell that. But it is sort of ironic.

In this short episode, I reveal to you what NEET means, and what you can do about it. Because if you know that your adult child has no interest in ever working, or planning their future, and they're just hoping you'll let them live out their years in their bedroom, where the #$%&! does that leave you
