Do you have a lifestyle?

Post Reply New Topic

My lifestyle is based around books, videogames and movies. I am well-educated and middle class. I still live at home with my mum and my younger brother. I am eco-conscious and usually walk everywhere I can. I also use public transport on a daily basis.

Whatever your method of living is, it becomes your lifestyle.

I see you are a student, so you will find out if you have to work full-time someday, that your current lifestyle is very different from that.

Or do you mean "not sure how it applies to me" in a bigger sense--like it's nothing formal or fixed, just kind of happens, non-descript, amorphous....

I have actually worked for 8 months straight teaching English in South Korea so I'm well aware of a working lifestyle.

I suspect my future life-style will reflect that of my primary care-giver who is basically middle-class, liberal and educated. Like me.

To have a lifestyle, where you live, what you do for a living and your out of work occupations and pastimes have to all be in synch and reflect your values.

Eg: if you, like me till recently, are very "non-mainstream" but live in the most conservative part of town and therefore end up living a very conservative life, you don't have a lifestyle.

Doesn't everyone have a lifestyle?


My lifestyle is working as a houseperson at the Hilton, watching TV when I come home from work, and doing the computer, I even watch videos or movies on the internet, cleaning when my apartment needs it, and I have a boyfriend. Been together for over a year now.

Thanks to high gas prices, I haven't gone to Spokane much except for when I went to my brother's graduation at the end of May so I got to see the city twice. I also love to travel and explore but also because of gas prices, I have not left the city for local traveling.


Oh yeah I also like video games.

I work in IT, live in an upper middle class neighborhood, am single, no kids, two cars, no pets, and am a law abiding productive member of society. I live the boring eremitic bachelor middle class lifestyle.

Something tells me that these two lifestyles give you the average AS lifestyle for someone doing well. Her's the more common female, and mine the more common male. Though I have no pets because of my vocation problems. 8-(

When I lived in a white picket-fence neighborhood in the suburbs with all the young couples with small kids and I was single, my friends were yuppies and I am a bohemian, worked in as a secretary, spent my free time buying new flashy clothes and no books, I didn't have a lifestyle. It was just a bunch of incongruous life aspects that had no connection between them or with my ultimate goals.

That's a lifestyle.

I kind of feel very confused by it all. Without a career it is hard to build a lifestyle of any sort. I used to do secretarial/office work but it drained me so much mentally I didnt have a lot of me left over to build a lifestyle. I just dont know what to do with my life... and I feel hugely unsettled in my own country.

Every day I dream of leaving, but I dont know where I would go. I havent done a lot a career-building to speak of, and I live with my parents, but I have managed to do quite a bit of travelling in the last 10 years or so... it is like being bitten by a bug, once you start it is hard to settle down again.

Sometimes I think I should do further study, but that means spending 3 years in the same place, and then more years establishing myself...

This is a silly question. By my understanding of the definition of lifestyle, if you don't have one, you're dead.

I think that what she is asking is, "Do you have a lifestyle you like/identify with?"

oh..k.

/b/tard, Anime and Manga fan. Internet nerd.

My lifestyle is watching TV, going on the computer, playing video games, being a fan of closing logos, retro stuff, etc.

I'd say I had a nerdy lifestyle. I watch anime, I roleplay, I read sci-fi and fantasy novels, I surf the internet, I read comics and I listen to and learn how to play video game music on the piano.

I'm trying to build a lifestyle. I'm still choosing the pieces I'll use. For several years my family pushed me to live as they imagined it would be nice for me to.

I find it shameful that at age 25 I'm still dealing with the life-building issues common people have already solved by the time they're 15.
