Current Events > You work 8+ hours a day, 5-6 days a week for 44-45 years

(+) Yeah! (+)

Isn't that depressing to think about? Spending decades sitting in some office making some other guy more rich.

And who knows if we will even be able to retire at 65 and collect Social Security...
---

Some people work more than that which is even more depressing. Those people usually don't get to retire.

Get a high paying part-time job.

I'm not even at the 10 year mark and I'm tired of it. Is this what life is?

We need single payer healthcare first because many people are locked into "benefits" (that actually trap people there)

Id love that job security. I wish I was getting those hours at my bar.

Is it better than 40 hours over 5 days IYO?

48 hours is still a fucking stupid amount of time to work.

Work a career that isn't sitting in an office.

Problem solved.

I'd love to be an artist, but I would have to make up the $50,000+ per year plus health benefits that I have at my office job. It's not easy selling $50,000 worth of drawings and paintings.

I really have to laugh at people who are scared of a 50 hour week. How delicate are you as a human that you need THAT MUCH TIME to recover from a simple job?

My typical week is 6 days, often times 7, and less than 50 hours is a short week. The result of that is that I bring home, not gross but bring home $1,500 on a short week and make two thousand dollars on a strong week. It's pretty fucking simple, if you want to make money, then go out and work.

I wouldn't mind making an extra $700 net to work 10 more hours per week, but I wouldn't do it for a long time...certainly not 40+ years.

You gotta embrace the suck! Feels good to have something to do :)

Because all these other places have figured out it's fucking stupid, but workers in America have been successfully brainwashed into thinking that wasting your life away always working is the right thing to do.

I guess its not about how much you work but do you like your job? There's big difference being unhappy for 40+ years or not.

He's not. Dudes smart. He pulls in his 8g a month, and in a few years, even if he DIDN'T have a bunch of shit already paid off, he'd have himself well set.

There's no replacement for some hard work.

8 ten hour days in a row then 6 days off to round out a 2 week period.

Best schedule in the world.

There are many smart, hardworking people who are brainwashed. Not all alt-righters are braindead bums.

I like working six or seven days a week for a couple months at a time. Good way to get some serious cash saved up. Plus it boosts my profit sharing.
---

Work is the means to an end. I get paid well but don't love my job, but don't hate it. I net about $1000 a week for 38hrs and usually work 8am-4:30pm. I am AMAZING at my job so have great security but I don't love it.

I don't focus on my work at all, I focus on my family and personal life.

I work 12 hours a day, 4 days a week.

I make 30k annually. I have no post secondary education, training, or marketable skills or certifications, every job I can do will be replaced by a robot before I reach retirement. I'm 30.

So do it.

I started a degree two years ago when I was 25. I'm halfway through now and will be 28 in September.

It's never too late to start.

Well except those people who don't work 6 or 7 days a week, and don't work over 50 hours, and still take home $1.5k-$2k per week. And I'm not even talking super rich people.

Are they not smart because they don't work as "hard"?

In my experience totally. The hours you work matter less than the days you work.

Biggest mistake I made was having a short 4 hour day on my schedule.I guess it was because I worked evenings but I came to realize it didn't matter that it was short. Took up just as much of my night as a 6-8 hour shift would've and ended up being less money for me
---

That's why aside from my 9-5 I am an investor, I want to retire early and spend time with my family and travel. We shouldn't be working for money, let money work for us.

I think this may be one of the last generations where this lifestyle exists.

I just can't see society handling this much longer.

We have mass shootings on the regular. People are constantly angry and overly stressed and anxiety ridden.

Add to this the fact that automation will take away more labor jobs in the future and you have a recipe for a sea change.

I realized this back in middle school. My thought process went "After I finish school, what do I have to look forward to?" -> "Well, I see that adults typically work full-time jobs until they retire around 65." -> "The amount of time spent at school/work will not decrease, so really you'll be dedicating a huge amount of your life just working, then you retire at an age too old to fully enjoy your freedom."

It's why I'm very passionate about retiring early and it ranks among the highest of my goals. Whether I achieve it or not, I don't know.

That's weak shit

We work 80 hours a week including nights to deal with drunk/noncompliant/drug abuse people and also putting up with hospital bullshit as a physician for 50K a year.

There's more opportunity now than ever to work for yourself and get away from the 9-5 office job. The internet allows anyone to set up a shop and sell things to anyone in the world for almost $0. Companies like Youtube and Facebook give revenue share to people who create content on their platforms.

Almost anything you want to learn has guides on the internet. If you really want something, or don't like your current situation, it's really up to you to make the effort to change it.
