Topic: When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life. - page 4. (Read 870 times)

The problem is that in this scenario, a person lives for work, and does not work for life. Most people do not see other ways, and therefore they try to legitimize this way of life, when almost all of their day is spent at work. And it doesn't even matter if you like your work or not. The main problem is that other people impose rules on you by which you must live. A person does not have time to use free time on weekends or vacations to think about alternative sources of income that do not require him to work 9 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. He is just glad that he finally has a well-deserved two or three week vacation, during which, at best, he can afford not to think about work (although over time there are fewer and fewer such people, because with the spread of instant messengers and free Internet calls, the employee remains constantly available, and is not really distracted from work, he does not receive high-quality unloading).

Another reason for this schedule is that people don't really know what to do outside of work. It is much easier to dream about how you would spend time on your hobbies if there was no work, but only a few do it. People get bored, they don't know what to do with themselves. Moreover, in the modern world, for most people, self-esteem and self-image depend on career advancement. A person does not know who he really is, what he wants and why he lives. And so he needs a system that will answer these questions. Then he will know that he is an accountant, or an SMM manager or a realtor. Then everything becomes clear: how to live, what status you have, what you can count on. And who still asks himself the question of who he is, outside of his work and specialisation?

A sense of passion and dedication to your work elevates you above those who go to work out of necessity. But in fact, these categories of people are not much different from each other, because both of them simply play by someone else's rules and support a system that is beneficial only to those who figured out how to get out of it after all. Perhaps if more people thought about how they can create conditions for themrseves in which they would not have to work for others, work to survive, how not to be a function and a simple performer, it would become clear that there is a huge amount of work in the world which is absolutely useless. And that humanity, in fact, has both time and resources to finally devote time to humanitarian (in the broadest sense of the word), and not utilitarian, reproducing and consumer development.

Life is inherently difficult; no one wants to be stuck in a cycle of working long hours with low wages and resigned to such a life. It is true that in every person's situation, someone will find satisfaction and purpose in their work, even if it requires long hours or low pay. But others feel that they have no other alternative and thus need a job that provides financial resources, even if it is very frustrating. So leaving your day job without an alternative source of income is a real challenge. That thought kept repeating in my head, and at some point, many people accepted that it was their fate. At that time, it is true that their lives died in a dark way.

80%? I bet it's more like 98%; only the "chosen" ones will have enough bitcoin to retire. Someone who's barely making ends meet can't make huge investments if something else doesn't change in his environment to increase his available income. We often see other users praising Bitcoin, but it's not a panacea; it doesn't fall out of the sky. If you don't make enough, you can acquire enough to put towards your retirement. Thus, until then, you're stuck in a loop. I highly doubt that there's a way to break the circle; most of us will be stuck living on this routine, which on the one hand provides some kind of safety after a while, but on the other, it makes time fly by without having an actual meaning. At least that's how I see it.

That's what makes it important to have a job which is what helps us to have a good lifestyle even though we have to spend most of our time to work. Nothing is free to have something in your life that will things better. Because of working hard, some people now are rich and didn't have to work much just like before. It's just like my uncle who are not rich before and must work most of the timr until he hid business is booming and now have employees working for him while he earn money.

I enjoy the 9-5. I watched my parents spend the majority of their lives, 35 years, working the 9-5 to be able to raise the kids and provide us with some of the finest things in life. From there, they went on to build one of the most successful businesses in my province. The 9-5 gave them the skills, experience, network, connections, and cash they needed. They worked their 9-5 in a job they loved and in a career they were passionate about. There's nothing wrong with working a 9-5 as long as it's in a place you are passionate about and love; time just passes without you even noticing it.

Getting a job can be very stressful and living to it can be tasking because you need to make sure that you make you Boss happy for you not to get sacked. The routine of going to work from Monday to Friday can be very stressing especially when you are living far away from you home. Getting a bus early in the morning rushing to work and rushing back home to meet your kids can be very stressful for us. This is not the best life to live because it could make us old as soon as possible. It is good for us to have our own business so that we can make decisions for ourselves and go to work whenever we like to go.

Not just majority but more than 80% won't have enough Bitcoin to retire. But the way to escape this vicious life cycle is still to invest and the safer side is when our portfolio is spread across different asset class.

No one ever wish for a life such as this but not every one understands how to break out of this cycle. Having a deliberate plan to own and manage our daily activities and investment choice is one way out. What i mean in essence is been our own boss not on a small scale business plan but on a plan that can employ people to do the work for us while we have our time to ourselves.

We all wanted to find an extra side job to help us to grow our savings and in the near future we will be able to rest and enjoy our life, but it's reality that we needed to face, without a day job you won't be able to survive long, your salary from your 8 hours job is the one that provides your needs, unless you are single and the responsibilities is not that high.

You can still explore and try different venue of earning money, but if you are tied to any responsibilities, it's really tough to quit without any assurance that you can find a suited side job or investment to fill your needs.

For those who are busy working 8 hours per day and 5 days per week of course it will be boring, besides that most people who work 8 hours per day and have no ideas to look for other things it will be difficult to develop, use time when holidays or weekends to look for other inspiration, for example how to generate good finances.

Some people dont like to take risk and neither they want to learn new skills. To get rid of 9-5 job one should either learn some new skills or find other ways to earn passive income. Some people learn it hard way - I startef doing it when my job ended suddenly in a day. Since that day I never applied for a job and worked as a freelancer

If we wont work then there's no money that we could spend and we would really be poor and this is something that we dont really like to happen. No matter how much we do hate up our work then we dont really have any choice but to deal with it and live with it or else you would really be living on a life which is miserable on which even having your own meal would be a problem and surely we dont really like that situation.
This is where people would really differ on how they would assess and make approach on such condition on which thinking up various ways and methods on making your living way more comfortable and less stress.
We do mainly think on how to generate more income and this is via investment and business on which you could potentially be able to reach out that certain state on having lots of fiat when you have done it well.
Its a matter of hard work and perseverance if you do have that kind of goal on which you would be needing to move and not just sitting idle and wait up for something changes.

Many people feel compelled to continue their work because they need an income to meet their basic needs and maintain financial stability. That fear of losing that stability can make it difficult to step out of your comfort zone and explore alternative paths. So try looking for opportunities to explore your interests and passions outside of your main job. This can provide a sense of fulfillment and open doors to new possibilities. However, keep in mind that there still has to be a balance between financial stability and following your passions and interests.

I'm sad for those who are working day and night for a meager salary. But I'm more sad of the fact that many of them have already embraced that kind of life, that they are already somehow satisfied with it. They seem to completely accept that they don't have a choice.

I don't agree, of course. Right now, I don't have a job. I earn a little from some side hustles. I don't have much money but at least I'm not a battered worker. I can sleep and wake up at any hour of the day. I can spend hours with friends everyday talking about just anything. I can travel. I can have a few bottles of cold beer every now and then.

I don't think people should drain all their energy working. In this age, we can be smart workers. Permanent employment is sometimes a huge hindrance to living.

Doing the same thing and repeating it for a long time will certainly make us bored, when I was at school I thought that the fun thing would be to work in an office from 8 am to 5 pm then I could take a weekend off, but after almost 5 years I experiencing it is indeed boring, but because I need income.

I like that some companies and I know even certain countries have been looking at the 4 day a week work week.  I laugh whenever I hear like a YouTube video short that's some motivational speaker who says something profound like "if you work a 9-5 Monday through Friday you're a sucker", shit like that is a joke.  Capitalism is probably the best form of government trade and that requires this type of work ethic/hours.  How else can it be done? Sure some people get lucky, but it's just not realistic to not have the 9-5 for most companies and businesses.

I think it mostly depends on how and during which time you were raised and started working. Many people have gotten used to 9-5 jobs and the newer generation has gotten used to better conditions and less working times. If you were to travel back 100 years, you would find children in coal mines working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and for them it would be considered normal. Even though today it is considered abuse. Even for adults.

So the older generation is used to one way of life and the younger generation to another.

Personally, I believe you should only work as much as you need. But to figure out how much you need you first must ask yourself how much money you need.

A single parent, raising 3 children is going to be under more pressure to earn more and work more than a single bachelor, living in a cheap housing situation.

i understand that most of us can't escape the 9-5 daily grind. but if you set your goals to be financially independent, you will save as much money as you can. and look for other options that you think you can earn passive income. investing in real-estate may be a good one. as the value usually increases over time. or look for a small business that you think you can grow with. your goal is to find an alternative option that will possibly give you option for early retirement.

Everybody desires a job that allows them to spend a lot of time relaxing and engaging in other activities, but the circumstances at our workplace prevent us from doing that because our life savings are reliant on the pay that is paid to us each month. which we now compensate for the work that was compensated for our entire time.

Working for someone else's orders can be demanding and exhausting. It's the same as giving that individual control of your entire being. When you're at work, you can't take any action on your own without getting their approval. That appears to be an unfulfilled dream and aspiration in life.

We are the ones who do make out such choice and this would really be varying on someones preference or targets in life because there are people who are really that just contented on what they do currently have
even though its already that hard but still they arent thinking on something that could improve their lives. Some would really be having those kind of hopes or approach that they should really be engaging into something
to make their lives better. You cant really make yourself able to improve if you wont do anything to make things change.

We are really that thriving on going into our jobs or dayjobs on which it is really just that normal that you would be needing to adapt or else you would really be finding yourself on a struggle on just having that
3x a day mean if you dont have a job. How much more if you do have your own family? For sure you wont really like on seeing them struggling just because you dont have income.
In order to have a good life then you should really be sensible in towards your actions and really be  having that kind of progress in life.

I have a very strong theory on it let me show it, This is just because of the education system which is particularly designed to trap & train the labor by limiting their mindset and training them for working from Day to night with loyalty. You can call the education system the modern slavery concept. Why I am so confident about it because,

The teacher teaching you about business is not a Bussniesman the Teacher teaching your science is not a scientist, and the teacher teaching you any of the subjects is not his profession so what he shares with us is in the name of knowledge and experience. This is the reason in my view that they limit our mindset by educating us with a fixed syllabus and they just train us to be a loyal employees.
