What clown world BS is this lol.
Its not a matter of success: its intrinsic to different people, but there is no way everyone gains fufilment or enjoyment from their job. The days of job loyalty simply because of duty are coming to an end, and wagecels can decide to go their own way or remain a slave

I work 36hour weeks (every 2nd monday off). Pretty good balance for me. If I had unlimited cash I'd still work, just something more casual and relaxing

While some are losing their livelyhood, others have turned their back on Mr CEO and checked out of the rat race.

Some will succeed in their endeavors in the economy to come, while others will go back to serving a new master. Some will check out when the going gets tough, and others will adapt to their NEET lifestyle.

The time has come for wagies to decide their fate, and if you didnt attempt to become self employed or do your own thing in the last year, I have some bad news...

Nah my friend, the times of being a slave have come and gone. If you gain fufilment in your job and it suits you, no problem.

But being a wagecuck was torture for me and I would rather rope than be an employee again. Srs.

I think your thread should be titled working with no purpose for 40 years is cucked working is just a means to and end and a stepping stone to your final destination SRS.

You're absolutely right that's why DEBTMAXXXING and CONSOOMERMAXXXING is bad because it holds you back from your true potential SRS.

The better choice is to create your own passive income stream so that you can escape the rat race. That will take up even more time, some solid thinking, tons of effort and 0 guarantee of success.

Most people are wage cucks because they're lazy or have given up. There are better choices.

usually that requires years upon or years of wage cucking and diligent saving to have the money to be able to start a worthwhile business.

much easier said than done and most businesses end up failing. And businesses require huge amounts of effort usually way more than a 9-5 job.

And legit "passive" income where you have money coming in without doing absolutely anything to the point of not even needing a job at all is even harder to achieve.

Also, I think it helps a lot when you have no wife, no kids, no gf, and no social connections outside of work. I literally live to wagecuck at this point; there really isn't an "else" I'd be doing without work besides mindless hedonism.

Honestly you sound like a lazy non-result producing turd.

If I wanted to leave the job market and become a lazy bum, I could. So could everyone. Last year taught me that having a bunch of time off while still getting paid a livable wage made me feel like absolute chit. It was cool for the first month, but after that I realized I was drinking too much and losing motivation.

People take pride in being productive members of society, and then there's people that are parasitic to society. I truly don't ever want to fully retire as long as I'm able to work. Retirement to me looks more like me taking far less hours out of the week, while doing low stress work and receiving income from retirement accounts, plus a low stress job, whether it be from my own company or as an employee of another.

Business owners who smash hbb's while sipping hennessey or whatever the fuk you said, do so because they can. Working for yourself isn't ANY less stressful than working for an employer. In fact it's far more stressful. You single handedly are managing business while simultaneously performing the actual work. If and when you gain employees, you're also managing them. It's a nightmare for most of the population. So the trade off is, deal with the nightmare and high probability of failure+bankruptcy, or live a productive life of working for an employer of YOUR choice and receiving a great wage with health+retirement benefits, while never having to worry about being able to pay your employees. All the while supporting your family.

I wish people like you could be sent back into a time machine, to a decade or century where making a stupid post like this wouldn't have been an option, because you were too busy sharpening wooden fuking arrows so that could go out to kill or be killed by a predator, all to maybe have some food for the next couple of days. Chit like that would really put your "pity me" attitude to rest.

*People have worked more hours than ever since the industrial revolution.

Peasants in medieval times worked less than half a year and had dozens of religious days off.

But yeah i honestly cant see myself working full time for my whole life. I doubt i’ll ever marry or have children so why bother? Im frugal as it is. Once i got my own property i’ll work part time or something

Yet all they had to eat was a couple of loaves of bread a week and no healthcare or any other luxuries we take for granted. Try living that way and see how you like it.

That argument is piss poor.

Are you cereal? The 40 hour work week wasn't standardized until 1937. By default people work less than those in the industrial revolution unless you're on Call or work in an OT profession.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eight-hour_day


Although 2nd part is true. I've known people who didn't work or just worked part time and they lived off renters in the basement or spare bedrooms. There's also just emigrating too but that has complicated results and I'm personally questioning it time to time.

No i meant it in the sense since the industrial revolution we became accustomed to working longer and more regularly. I know the 8 hour day was a more recent thing. Ive edited my post i didnt make sense.

What in trying to get at is “working” in the sense you clock in and clock out is a relatively recent concept. You worked until the task was done rather than for set period of time decided by your overseers.

No true at all. They had pretty varied diets, probably healthier than modern peoples. They had common land they could hunt, fish etc.

Once you got past childhood most people lived to atleast their 50-60s. Average life expectancy was brought down by child mortality.

And yeah sure id miss my computer and iphone, but if id never have the option of having access to those things in the first place am i really missing out?

Different now. You hear of many people going rags to riches through YouTube, TikTok, OnlyFans, Crypto, etc and they're usually doing no work or bullchit work. Meanwhile wages have been stagnant, housing prices go up and everything is costing more.
Yup aka middle class is dying, atleast for the younger genertions unless they inherit money from their boomer parents

find a job/career you enjoy, then become so good at it that you can do it in half the time or less and get paid for full time.

plenty of time to do other things in life, i seriously could do my job forever because it pays well , takes up less than 50% of the time i am allocated to do it and i enjoy most of it. No drama of managing other people anymore and i get pretty much a free rein to do my own thing.

I have a great reputation in my organisation for being helpful and co operative and i am because i am great with people and i know loads things that others do not and i get chit done without a fuss

House paid for outright years ago and COVID has saved me a fortune on travel and time


feels good

To you obviously, so speak only for yourself.

Working is fun when I have a purpose and supporting my own family is always my source of pride.

One can always stay at the pinnacle of every moment of life both physically and mentally but only while trying really hard.

We can't live forever young but our spirit can. You should have known that yesterday.
