I don't, and the worst I've been doing dancing for a whole weekend, staying awake until I get visual hallucinations. If I was 20, I would've played video games and worked on software side projects all day. That's what I was doing for the first 6 months of not going to work, after all. But it does depend on the person.

    I think if I was 20 and independently wealthy, I would have worked on side projects for 6-18 months until I found something / someone to get sucked into.

    But I will agree, it really depends on the person. When you're young and have a lot of energy, drinking 2-3 beers throughout the day might seem like a good idea. I never did; but the fact that many people are blissfully unaware of how 2-3 beers throughout the day impacts them still shocks me.

I think that’s what it is. Unemployment, and especially a lack of opportunities, can be dangerous whether it’s because there are no available jobs where you are or it’s because you made 20m in bitcoin when you were 22 and don’t know what to do with it.
