Why are you so optimistic/pushy about them becoming wage slaves?

Because that's one way to move towards independence. Independence not just from the parents, but from having a soul-crushing job.

It'd be hard for a 30-year old with no education or job experience to get a job or start a business. Or save up money for anything.

    Thats also why its worrying. They dont have a cent.

    Now I dont doubt they could really get a job pretty easily if they wanted. They just have no reason to

    If they find a way to make money without needing to build up the discipline through a job etc., then that's great. People can do that over the internet on low-cost areas or with some familial support.

    Not everyone can.

    Yes, there's enough resources in the world to go around where people shouldn't have to work, let alone 40h a week.

    But currently, that's impossible in every country that I'm familiar with.

    Ok but if they are smart like OP claims they will surely already know they're unlikely to have money if they don't get a job at some point. If OP keeps bringing that up it's pretty condescending.

    I never bring this up to them, that would be assholish in my opinion.

    Hate to break it to you but sending them job openings and code camps counts as bringing this up.

    I just sent them as something to look at. I've never said "you need to look at this, you jobless loser!!" Its always been oh ya here's openings at my company (because they asked what people there do) and they expressed some interest in coding but like me have never been able to stick with it so ive sent code camps I was trying out to see if they wanted to do it together. Etc.
