Topic: When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life. - page 2. (Read 915 times)

It seems to me that gaining financial freedom is one of the main reasons why people turn to cryptocurrencies. Not everyone manages to achieve this goal, but at least the cryptosphere is an opportunity, a path at the end of which financial independence can still be traced. Whereas hired work for another person, corporations or the state will never lead to total freedom without financial restrictions. Because other people are not interested in someone having it. Only the person himself is interested in this.

Unfortunately, due to the current system many people's lives will be similar to each other. Many people have been programmed like robots to have a free day on certain days of each week to spend the day in a monotonous working order and to live as well as possible. As an employee working in the shift system I wish I could be free every weekend and only work between 09:00-17:00. Although I work in a fairly large company unfortunately, I do not have a work schedule between 09:00 and 17:00 which many people complain about and that will be empty on the weekend. Working on weekends and night shifts often makes me feel like I miss the standardized 09:00-17:00 shift. I would also like to add the following for the sake of curiosity;

Unfortunately, my salary is not very high and when I work weekend or night shift, I'm paid at a very low scale.

The 9-5 job is sometime the routine of the most of the people. The whole life have been a lie working round the clock …many people get over with this phase of 9/5 after having a bad work experience. But most of them keep going with this phase through out their lives.

I would say in government that as long as you don't commit a big mistake that can affect the whole office and also have absences, then you are good because government employees are not too strict on this. As long as you are just doing your job, like finishing it even if it is not on deadline, then you are good. But again, those kinds of things are very unprogressive for you, like feeling stagnant and not improving your skills, and also because it is only minimum wage. Having capital in business is also hard at the same time when you run it, which is why intensive research and learning are required.

If you're working for the government or your boss as most individual are doing, you have no choice but to please you boss. If you don't please them, your chances of staying in that job for a long period will not exist. Bosses only want employees who're loyal and does that work very very because when that is done, the get good results and get the value they're paying for you.

If you want to work as you please and don't what to answer to anybody then you should start your personal business. Starting a business isn't hard to do but keeping that business profitable is when you'll have challenges because not everyone has those qualities in them.

therefore financial freedom becomes important in our lives, where we work not bound by leaders, because we are the leaders. it's not easy to be someone to become a person who has financial freedom, where we have to be able to fight with the harsh conditions in this world. being an employee at least has a business that can support so that our brains are always running, so that it is possible if something bad happens, then we still have a handle for life in the future. Many employees leave their world because they have a reliable business

Many people are only living there lives without purpose. They go to work from morning and closes in the evening and that do not tell them that they are not living a suitable lifestyle that will give them freedom to go to any places they feel like going without anybody restricting them. We don't need to live our lives to please the boss or the government for those working as a government workers especially for many years.

This is a bondage that many people that are working to please there bosses faces. This is why it is very important for us to make sure we get a good skill that can make us create our own job where we work for ourselves not to please a boss.

"Must" we? I mean some people are super happy with that life and do not want to live the risky life that I talked about. My wife among them, she would never dare to have her business, she wants to, in her "goals" there is starting her own workshop and that's great goal but she would not be able to give even a month long testing period, it is not possible for her to do something like that at all.

I would highly suggest the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that it is going to end up with something more proper, it is going to be something I would highly suggest because just let them be happy with what they have. I suggest taking risks for people who are willing to, but the ones who don't want to shouldn't be worried about it neither.

The problem here is that many people do not know what they really should spend their lives on. This question is associated for them with an indescribable fear of the unknown. And although the idea of freedom attracts them, it still remains unrealized, because the fear of the unknown and the responsibility that this freedom entails turns out to be much stronger than the supposed benefits. It is for this reason that most people perceive hired work as a safe harbour where they do not have to make decisions and bear responsibility. And even if this is associated with a very conditional meaning, but they have it, and this meaning is generally understood and generally recognized, in contrast to the one that a person builds for himself on his own.

sometimes it is by luck that you get a chance to get a good treatment in other country and in reasonable rate otherwise people mostly hesiste to go to other place for medical treatment. But people do go to other places if they are rich.

In this life we ​​are actually always given a choice, no matter what the choice in life will always be there for everyone, but sometimes many people forget that choice. What I experienced too, the world of work is indeed very monotonous, every day always has the same routine. Going to work early in the morning, and in the evening sometimes even going home at night. It just goes on like you have no control. In fact, there are many job professions that force workers to not be able to take a day off. Such as security guards, restaurants, and farms.

But we as humans must be able to think ahead, in essence, we must dare to leave the safe zone of work. Being an employee or staff in a company is already guaranteed, in terms of salary and pension. But actually not worth the time to be spent. Therefore, you must be able to have the courage to pursue what you dream of and get out of that zone. There are many things that can be done, the most important thing is to be prepared with all the consequences. Because if you get out of that safe zone, and for example open your own business, you will definitely be obliged to work harder and the risk will be borne by yourself. But in essence, it is yourself who is the boss, and you are also the one who manages the time when you are going on vacation. And in essence, the problem is that it depends on one's own choices.

To survive and no other option seems the same. If you have an option, you won't choose to do it but maybe you mean is they do it because they want it or they do not want to earn an extra income for their selves to buy that luxury thing they want because if it's not luxury, they will get it without trying hard or by only saving up using their residual money from their salary.

The feeling is not really miserable if we grind for our personal needs but it is somehow if we do it for other people. 9 to 5 jobs are usually low paying. People choose it not because they want to save up but it's because it's more easier than other forms of jobs. It also earns them fixed salary which they think a good thing already.

When you find success then it will break the cycle, you will find yourself financially freedom and you can start doing what you want without a limitation that you need to go to work again, though like what you said starting is the hard thing maintaining is another but you can always find ways if you really wanted to change your life.

We all have the opportunities the problem most of the time. We don't know where and how to begin with, skills and determination
things that you really needed to work with any challenges that you need to encounter.

comfortable or not in the activities or work that we do in a day to day but usually people need a vacation, need a new atmosphere to calm themselves and also need a break from the activities that continue to be involved in every day.
it is a normal thing and everyone wants it to please himself.
because basically this human has a sense of boredom, that's why it's very important to take a vacation or rest yourself.

your routine may be so enjoyable that you can enjoy it every day, you are a lucky person if you keep positive thinking like that.

It seems you need the fastest train so you can cut your travel time from home to work, because that's a very long travel time if you have to sit on the train for three hours without stopping. And the question is why don't you take other options to be able to save your time when going to the office? Because any office is always open on weekdays in the morning so you definitely have to go there too early to work and I think that will definitely give birth to extreme fatigue, mate.

Apart from being grateful, I think other things to consider are time and salary, because it would be very illogical if you were paid cheaply by spending more time each day working in an office. But it will be worth it if you are paid handsomely by the office because the time you spend working there is too much.

We all have choices in life, it's just depends what we will choice to make our life better.

Yes, life can be depressing most of the time and that's normal, but we have the ability to minimize the depression as much as possible on what actions and decisions we are going to make. We're just normal human beings that have emotions, to break the cycle that you have mentioned, starting your own business, investments, or the other things where you're the boss would make your life more easy and much more interesting.

You control your time, your money, and your life. It's hard to manage a business especially when starting but when you experienced the success, it's so much worth it than working 8 hours every weekdays.

I think the routine that we do is a pleasant thing as long as we are always grateful, people who feel bored when entering the office then he is like alone, may be uncomfortable with friends or jobs so I hope to be off, I have worked in the office for almost 4 years, I take the train With a total trip time of more than 3 hours and I enjoyed everything.

Who says that everyone works from 9-5 and looks forward to the weekend? Majority do, but not everyone op. Personally, I am a freelancer and I work whenever I want to without any restrictions/barriers making work fun for me.

Famous saying: Your life is dependent on the decisions that you make at any point of time.

I call this the "Mouse in the wheel" look on life. Yes, it is true... most people run in that wheel and it looks like they are not going anywhere, but that has it's benefits.

The mouse gets exercise and that is keeping it fit and healthy. Now, to explain that in real life.... your 9to5 work keeps you busy and it is funding your expenses. It is paying for your health benefits and it is also good social interaction with other people around you.... that is keeping you mentally fit for life.

As you mentioned in your post... some times you step off that wheel and you go on holiday or you have a fun weekend .... or the little girl takes you out of your cage and she plays with you in her room. 

My advice.... get a hobby or do some community service to spice up your life after working hours.... or get another job, where you can work more flexible hours. (If you love your work.. you do not work a day in your life) 

Even a boss would tirelessly work to prevent a decrease in their income.
The life cycle you experience is actually a product of the mindset ingrained in your brain. You can break free from that zone with a different mindset.
There are several types of mindsets that greatly influence the trajectory of your life.

To achieve the vacation you desire, you must cultivate a "Growth Mindset" in your mind, allowing your creativity to flourish. The more experience you gain in a particular field, the easier your work becomes and the greater the salary you receive, even if your working hours are significantly shorter.
Working eight hours a day in an office setting could potentially foster a "Growth Mindset," but it seems unlikely that your boss would allow that to happen.
