Have you ever considered becoming a monk or nun?

Sometimes I feel like just quitting my job and joining a monastery, other times I want to become a hermit on a rural plot of land that I'd buy with cash, but at the moment I'm not very disciplined in my lifestyle and I don't think monastics will tolerate my slovenly ways.

How can I become a monk? I would also love to have time to read all day and have charities pay me so I would not starve. How many hours do you have to commit to God? How many hours are you allowed to retreat into your room to do what you want?

I couldn't stop fapping, and they would definitely kick me out the moment I went from scrubbing virgin Mary statues with cleaning fluid, to fapping to the virgin mary.

I have, but see >>60

Rather than laboring for someone else on their own conditions and time I'd rather live out of a van on savings maybe on welfare and do my own thing

I want to do that as well but it sounds like we wouldn't learn much obedience in the process.
