Describes the carefree, easy existence of moneyed young Brits; those teens and young adults supported entirely by unearned sources of income, esp. from parents/grandparents. Akin to the American "trust fund kid" existence, stipend life does not necessarily require a large amount of money and can be achieved through some combination of mooching from relatives, expecting others (but never other stipend lifers, as this would be taken as a sign of poverty) to finance things, borrowing heavily from family and occasional casual work (usually cut short by stipend lifers lack of motivation/discipline for anything not involving pleasure). Stipend life involves being proudly out of touch with normality. Stipend lifers bond by mocking ordinary, working people and their daily tribulations. Travelling must be in business or first class, if available, or private jet if stipend extends to this. Summers in luxurious resorts (e.g. Monaco, Cadaques, St. Tropez).
Time not spent entirely in the pursuit of pleasure is generally spent collecting degrees, travelling or engaging in some sort of exclusive hobby (e.g. learning to fly, playing polo or motorsports) or working on some vanity project.
Stipend life motto is, "A Mercedes, however acquired, is still a Mercedes", and the traditional shibboleth of of stipend lifers is, "Stipend life is good life".

"That kid is such a prat, but what do you expect, he lives stipend life".
"I wish I had a stipend life, working at KFC is really shit".
"Woo-hoo, grandad's died, stipend life for me".
"He thinks working for minimum wage means living just off your main trust fund and doing no mooching, typical stipend lifer".

Get the Sips mug.You were born..
You learned to step...your baby steps.
Everybody was watching over you..
Just to make sure you wouldn't fall.
As you grew up, you were so eager to step.
You kept stepping.
You wide opened your eyes and were so ready to explore the world around you.
That was when...you had a sense about meanings of life.
Then, there was a time you felt tired..
You stepped slowly..
Then you were loved...
You stepped in joy.
As you grow old, mature you have become..
You learn how to make one step forward and two steps back.
There are times that you have missteps..
But you get up and keep stepping.
Never stop stepping..
That's a sense of living.

Get the Steps mug.Scensters, Punks, Hipsters, all mixed up into one. They all hang out anyway. they're hot.
Scenesters - hair. yeah, spipsters actually CARE about their hair appearance, where as hipsters won't shower for days, and punks just like...elmers glue and kool-aid colors.
Punks - MUSIC. Spipsters play guitar and always are trying to make a statement in their lyrics. Unlike hipsters who just tend to like a lot of Eurotrash techno shit with no meaning at all except...synthesizers...dear god.
Hipsters - Skinny jeans, plaid, converse, vans, basically hipsters SAY they don't care about their clothes and thrift everything, but lets be honest here, THEY SHOP AT URBAN OUTFITTERS. although the "real" ones won't admit to it, its seriously where they get all their pre-ripped clothes and "i-want-you-to-think-i-got-this-from-the-salvation-army" style. all hipsters are lying if they tell you that. seriously check the chopped off tag.
All three of them have unique tattoos and piercings, hipsters tend to love the gauges and random ear piercings
Scenesters enjoy the monroes, lip piercings, eyebrows, nose...etc. Gauging usually remains with the hipsters.
Punks pierce weird places not appropriate for this site...but thats not attractive...thats just weird.
and they all have tattoos that are "meaningful"...well they're meaningful when you're 22, but honestly who's going to want a tattoo that says "ANARCHY, FUCK YOU SOCIETY!!!" across your chest when you're a single 60 year old on chatroulette.
