(+) Yeah! (+)

You have to do this shit 5 days a week for the next 30 or so years if you want free money by the time you retire.

Free money?

don't have kids and you will only need to work like 15 years

it's not free money. it's money you put towards social security for the past 30 years that congress has repeatedly raided including trump when he wanted to fund the wall.

social security won't likely be there for our grandchildren in the far future.

It pisses me off because it's a set time for everyone. Some of us get our shit done QUICK. I mean fortunately I can usually get the flying fuck out of work earlier than 5. I hate that i'm sometimes forced to stay there "just in case"

it can be. not if you like your job. it don't like my job but don't hate it either. it's bearable.

Quality of life pretty much plummets to zero as soon as I walk in the door.

"Why are there two milk crates up here?"
"We both want something to sit on."
"You aren't supposed to be sitting."

like seriously, fuck off as long and hard as possible, 2-10 on my feet all fucking day? As long as I have ass cheeks attached to my hips, I'm sitting. If you bend at the knee, you have the human right to sit and save your feet/lumbar

Mines is bearable too but at times very boring. It used to be exciting in the beginning when I started working with people around my age, but then management saw how good of a worker I was and transferred me with the baby boomers. Everything is now slow and boring but with a higher pay. I miss the action.

I thought SS would be gone by 2034?

you're supposed to use that money to create additional revenue streams so over time you dont have to work as much/hard. and you can retire early if done right

Isnt that the point?

Yes, i believe this is how people retire far quicker. The majority of 9-5 workers just chill out after work then rinse ajd repeat, but im using my time to learn how to start a side business with shopify and also learning a few other things during my off work hours. Been doing it for a month now and just overloaded with information,but I've got the hang of it now. I'm also thinking about making YouTube videos but still unsure on what kind of niche content in looking to create. Though I have to give up most of my gaming and chill out time if I want to accomplish these while working my main job.

You're thinking of people that made millions off the bat. Start off small with a couple hundred dollars... lots of items to find on alishark.
---

no I'm thinking of people in your financial bracket lol, dudes with regular jobs.

---

who has made millions off the bat on shopify lol?

and it's gonna take more than a couple hundred to get the ball rolling. that should be for marketing/analytics alone.

Shopify sucks bro, Amazon is literally doing same day delivery, you're being way too optimistic if you think you can turn a decent profit for your time invested with shipping times of 2 weeks or more.
