To escape the 9-5 you have to do the 8-8.

Honest answer

Take out as many credit cards as you can
Run up 250k debt as its not illegal to not pay debt back srs
Put 250k in crypto or any other investment that is prudent.
Become millionaire
Make minimum cc payment of $250 a month JFL
Buy land off grid and become a farmer and live off of your own grown food etc.
Total freedom from the system.



Once again it is not illegal to not pay off your debt

Good MLMs are kind of like good supplements. You have to get onboard and take advantage of them before they become illegal. I have a couple friends that make money on MLMs but they bounce around to take advantage of the new ones to ride to the top of the pyramid before it busts. One of my acquaintances from high school was getting big checks from one recently. Then all of a sudden a couple years ago i saw his social posts change to him starting a new venture, like it was by choice, so i googled his old one. To get an idea, google “Nerium scandal”, that was the last one he was in, making like $10k a week

Start with deflating your lifestyle. By creating a lower monthly cost of living, you create the need to work less. This is the foundation you must lay first.

Personally, I would work to get a truck and a mobile house. This way I would have equity in my truck and mobile house. Then I can save to build my own house.

People think the value of their houses go up, but those are people who don't know anything about houses. Things get older with time. If you buy a house, buy new or build your own.

Intredasting. I thought they were illegal but I guess not necessarily. The PBD guy's MLM is still running srs

I’ve landed a high paying do relatively nothing 9-5 job. So I’m working on writing. Finished one novel and working on a second.

I’m still enjoying the hell out of it even if nothing comes of it.

The 9-5 was created as a result of massive entrepreneurial activity and employment. Society had to settle on times that worked economically, and the 9-5 emerged.

How do you beat it? Find an industry that doesn’t, or start a business and make your own hours, but understand that many times you will find yourself doing the 9-5 because it makes you the most money and works best for your employees.

No one is forcing you to do the 9-5. Fact is you can quit right now and get a job in a different industry working another schedule.

I assume more than likely you’ll take a pay cut. Would you be comfortable with that? What’s your motivation, money or a different schedule v
