The thing is also working a job you hate makes life pass you by because all I do when I get off work I feel so stressed and exhausted. This was still really informative and giving me hope to clock in tomorrow lol

I worked jobs I absolutely hated but did them because I needed the cash. Those days are over now I dont work those jobs and make way more.

@@blacklyfe5543 I started as a retail worker making 9 bucks an hr from highschool to college, then I got some promotions in retail making 12 an hr. My mom had a health scare in the 12 an hr range. I think I was around 22 or 23 I said to myself if she goes I am in big trouble. So I took a civil service test to become a 911 operator. Around 24 they called me to interview and I got hired at 36k a year. Eventually I made up to 53k but I only worked there until I got a better opportunity. I worked there from 2016 to 2020. I hated it but I needed the work experience. I eventually saw a opening at a state agency and I applied to become a state auditor. I got hired took a pay cut at first. Eventually promoted up to making 69k. I hated being broke so I made moves that increased my income over time. I recently transferred out and now I do admin work at another agency's internal audit department. I am trying to get to the next level which would be the information systems auditor to make up to 100k. I need to keep building my IT experience at this agency then get my CISA certification. Which is the certified information systems auditor it's kinda like a CPA. But this will take about 5 years. In the meantime I will be getting yearly raises from 69k up to 85k unless I get promoted before 2030.

lol use your income wisely to create more wealth

Spot on! A job should be mainly to pay the bills. The key is to find a job you don't hate and work with/for people you don't hate. That's about the best you can ask for.

A job wasn't just about making money for old timers it was about taking care of your family. Some had limited education, so they took what they could get.

I dont hate my job i just wish to get a remote job where i can choose a great location to live but is hard got scam a few times in upwork and companies are never hiring

Great advice! Work is a tool to get out of debt save for the future and put into investments. Period. Also, you can find the positive in any job if youre looking for it. Thanks for explaining the crossover point, going to look into this a bit more👍🏽💐

Good viewpoint-good video

I’m living in a van , shot warehouse jobs a few months , then travel a few months .

excellent advice! its true, the goal isn't to working, the goal is to stop working for money. love it. Passive income was something i've been preaching to people for over a decade but they just said I was lazy and didn't want to work, little do they know I'd put 2 weeks of work into 1 if it ment being a step closer to financial freedom.

Guys I get what he’s saying, but you can absolutely find a job that you at least like that plays into your strengths. Keep your overhead expenses low and use the free time to volunteer or attend a course or class to get experience in the field you want to go to. Most of the times when I ended up forced at jobs I didn’t like it was because my overhead was too high and now I needed the money. Love frugal at first and invest your time wisely.

This is true and needed to be said.

There are a couple jobs out there where you'll actually get fulfillment, but usually those jobs are super unusual relative to the amount of money you make. Often there's other sacrifices. As long as I had next to zero bills, there's some stuff I would do for damn near free.

Understand your sentiment, but buying a house is an investment. That would be a good place to put that money other than the stock market.

Grateful for this video. I enjoy the company I’m at but don’t like the role. Looking at work as a means to pay off debt and to eventually allow passive income to cover me sounds like a dream (I’m a musician and would like to take this more seriously down the road). Gonna give this perspective a try.

Youre lacking in understanding today vs then. The incentive to work is little to none today. That leads to burnout , work + little to no incentive= burnout. The common person understands the point of a job but money is a tool , but when it can be used in ways to make someones life easier its useless. Money is meant to be in circulation

I think that’s an economic view of money being in circulation all the time. But usually money stays in the same people’s hands. Incentives don’t have to be created by employers but by the employee himself and his goals of getting out of the rat race

Ай бұрын

@TommyBryson I never said money doesn't stay in the same ppls hand, I said it shouldn't. Whether my view is economically structurally sounding, it trickles down to the individual. So yes, it is up to employers to open up incentives for the individual to actually escape the "rat race." If you can't afford to invest because your ceo is increasing his wages 50% yr to yr its gonna hurt you and others because it's not circulating. Prime example is Boeing CEO salary is 36 million per yr 45% increase from last yr meanwhile over a span of 8 yrs his workers received a 1% raise.

The only way a person survives a job they hate is by finding another job, it's that simple. In my case, I like what I do but I don't like my supervisors. I don't like pretending I wanna say "good morning" to those bums when I really wanna say nothing and keep on walking. I made up my mind to tolerate those bums for another year. If I don't find another job by this time next year, thats it, I'm done. Hell, if I gotta get me some welfare, that's just the way it is.

Strongly disagree. We should be happy AT ALL TIMES. If im at work, I need to be happy at work. If im preparing for my future, I need to be happy now as im preparing my future. Everything you do should be tied to your personal happiness, so if im working a job I hate, im not serving my happiness nor mental health, and that is a waste of time. There is no reason to do something you despise. None. The pursuit of happiness is one of our God given rights. Its the journey, not the destination. The journey should fulfill us just as much as the destination.

It’s important to understand that happiness doesn’t come from work itself, or a company or the things you consume. Happiness is subjective and fleeting when you use it as a simple emotion. Today you’ll be happy with one job and then it’ll fade, likewise with career and so on. Or even that fancy car that makes you “ happy “. That type of happiness will not last.

@Degdreams

4 ай бұрын

@TommyBryson Unhappiness lasts for a VERY long time. The feeling of waking up in the morning to go to a job you dont like is extremely mentally exhausting. And you do gain happiness from a job, it's called "pride in your work." If an accountant feels as though they are making a difference in the world when they crunch numbers, who are you or I to say they can't be happy or they are not serving thier purpose? God commanded us to work. This is what we are MEANT to do, thus we must find joy in the work itself. So we SHOULD see happiness in work, it should coincide with our purpose, not simply being a tool. What you are saying is the equivalent to saying we only get married for children.

This sounds good but this is not realistic. How can u prioritize happiness all the time throughout life. This is not relatable to the average person. I think what he is saying that most people in this day and age try to find that sense of fulfillment and satisfaction in working a 9-5 which most likely will not happen. And most people back in the day literally just worked a job they completely hated just to not work again which u shouldn’t do neither. I think he’s saying to most people in the day and age need to stop look for that gratification within a 9-5 cause that’s not the sole purpose of having that job. You don’t have to work the job the if completely hate, just try to find a job a bit more tolerable so you can be efficient. Trying to be “happy” the whole time is naive unless you’re just the exception. Not saying you can’t find those things in a job it’s just less likely
