When I quit my job years ago, I had a lot of free “time” on my hands. But no job meant no money. And very soon found out that no money meant a loss of other freedoms I used to afford but no longer could (like afford better food, more travel, the ability to treat my friends and family to nice experiences). Those additional life luxuries all cost money. Having been through that, I’m not so convinced time is more important than money, but probably equally as important as money. What good is time without the money to fund the experiences you enjoy that often cost money? Double edged sword. The trick is to somehow find a happy balance between spare time and making enough money to pay for life.. And that’s not always easy.

As someone who has worked for decades, this isn’t really new. Jobs in which you work for someone else are often soul destroying and high pressure. People bring up past factory workers with their ability to support a wife/family/house etc. Those jobs were hideously awful. A lot of jobs are and have been awful. The difference being - you could establish some security and ownership, whereas today that sounds more difficult. I also think there has been a conspiracy around education that made some people very rich and put others in debt (slavery). Historically, this has been the goal of worldwide regimes. I was lucky in that I have been suspicious of everything I am told to do and follow through mainstream media.

Running your own business 9 times out of 10 is the worst. Especially for people that don't have a proper roadmap or financial knowledge and backing.

The pay isn't the greatest but I live frugal enough to save 20% and it's stress free. Nobody stands over my shoulder and as long as I get my work done, my hours are very flexible. Basically it's all about having a boss that isn't a dick.

Not sure on what planet are you living on, but minimum wage in UK has increased from 2014 to 2024 by 176% (from £6.50 to £11.44 in 03/24). I was paying £400 in 2014, I'm paying £650 now. That is a 162% increase in the last 10 years. For me at least, minimum wage has increased more than rent did.

Stay encouraged young man. You are already ahead of literally 90% of the sheep of the world. Stay far away from the sheep who will try and discourage you from acheiving autonomy over your life. NEVER EVER give up👊🏿💯

Popped up in my recommended in time to soothe my break down so my phone probs tryna make me feel better. There's so many layers to how fucked we are if not born into wealth or provided the tools to make our own. There's so much conflicting information out there and so many scammers trying to take advantage of the desperate, including the government. It just leaves one who is so full of optimism feeling battered and empty. How does one keep fighting forever when the motions of life build a defeatist mentality in you? I commend you for putting yourself out there and wish more people were direct and transparent. For people at my stage of life, we're too severely burnt out and overstimulated to even begin to turn things around.

I spent 13 years as a cook, even worked for Facebook, just finally got a job as a sous chef working 6 dollars an hour beneath the median, had to have help from my dad every month to pay rent until 6 months later, I finally got my first official role as sous chef at a job getting paid the median wage... only to get laid off by a corporate take-over within the first three months. The emotional and mental toll line-cooking has taken on me, and working poverty wages, has been absolutely grueling. I know exactly what you mean when you say, going back to a regular job isn't really much of a choice at all. Sink or swim doesn't mean death... but it certainly would feel like a type of dying

I think the problem isn't wages. The problem is that people have been enjoying a life standard that they don't deserve. America in particular has made a business decision to not let people live at a reasonable cost of living standard. You either have a 500k house or you have no house. You either have a 40k car or you have no car. Where are the frugal options? The business world knows that if they offered them then most people would choose a budget freindly option. Which isn't good for sales and growth. So they won't. The housing market in particular has been a huge pyramid scheme since we went off the gold standard back in the 70's. America has peaked at the 50's and has been on the decline ever since. When the world power is on the decline, it's just bad for most of the world. Especially in this day and age when we live in a gobal singular market. At the same time though China is rising once again. It won't be for probably another 50 - 100 years until China over takes America as the leading economic world power. So until that happens the world is sort of suffering this down trend. Think back to the great depression or Germany right before WW2. It didn't matter how hard you worked. How skilled you were. Or how in demand your profession was. You just simply have to deal with the fact that you're living in a time of economic dispare. The ones who were kind of wealthy and still had power were the super powerful. Like if you owned the Coke company. Or happened to be in a high ranking political or military position. For everyone else it's just not going to matter. It's not going to matter if you do content creating. Or starting your own business. Or hustling 3 side streams of income. Or trying to float that book idea. In the short term it might get you a leg up on others in the rat race. But it'll only be for a short period of time before it catches up with most everyone.

I guess my advice would be to start a hermit plan. Like Yoda exiling himself after the clone wars. You see the times coming. Find a way and a place that you can keep a low profile and hunker down for a good long time. I'm 47. So it's a little different for me having way fewer years ahead of me than behind at this point. I feel like we won't be seeing intolerable conditions for at least another 20 years. But for Gen Z and young Millenials.... Don't plan on raising a family, building a business or anything like that if you're struggling right now. Stay at home. (work your 40 hours a week) Save and invest. Do learn a skill that makes you needed. And if it ever becomes a buyer's market again, buy the most affordable place you can even if you don't like it. Renting is just going to lose you the game.

One big thing I did that helped tremendously was to adopt a minimal lifestyle. Before I used to shop every weekend & bought the best brands. I would eat at the best restaurants and buy the most expensive makeup & splurge on spa days! Removing the unnecessary spending is key to a much more sustainable lifestyle!

I'm from a middle-class family, recently graduated, and currently unemployed. I don't have a job and can't rely on my parents for financial support. While I do have skills, I'm struggling to find opportunities. Each day feels increasingly difficult, and I've reached a point where I've lost all hope. I can feel all my investments money, time, everything just to get a job are worthless.

people are waking up and talking about what was inevitably going to happen in our civilasation. four generations, thats the timespan. first generation was in 1700, second in 1800, then 1900, and now 2000. Sociologist, or actually the father of sociology Ibn Khaldun explained how an empire falls, or how a civilasation collapses and shifts. similar to what you said in the video, it started with our great great great grandfathers building and establishing their own work, it was a network, you have something i want, i have something you want and we can make an honest living exchanging goods, currency looked a little different. then came his son and took on his fathers work because of, in short, collectivism. People held onto their beliefs, they held onto their values and morals. Then came the third generation, and his son had to follow his fathers footsteps because now its tradition, and at first we understand tradition we dont really question it, it works because, again, collectivism. then came the fourth generation, were we are now and we cant remember why the tradition is there in the first place, what does it matter for us what some great great great grandfather did at his time? Now we live in the zeitgeist society, they have put us in straitjackets and spoonfed us the opposite of collectivism which is individualism. do what makes you happy! make money in any fkn way possible! get this degree while paying tuition for it! get this house while paying mortgage for it! anything you want, you can get! but remember youll always be tied to the bank like a dog tied to a pole on the side of the road. well break up the nuclear family! now you get to be independant! lets introduce contraceptives! abortion! hormone pills! lets give the younger ones trauma, make them addicted to alcohol and drugs! lie and say its because of discrimination and racism! nothing to do with how the system is built! the way most are living is NOT sustainable, people are talking about now, things are quickly falling apart and deteriorating. soon something will happen, a revolution. one mistake the rich keep making is thinking humans are incapable of chaos, but its the very essence of us in some way. we get angry, and when enough people do they will not only demand change but act to make sure it happens

So it's not all about them wanting to pay educated people less. And the jobs that actually pay well for educated employees, well they're cutthroat and have 100s of applicants on every job listing (because having a degree is so common now).

Your story seems to be how it is for a LOT of college grads. Took a degree because they were told to. It's why jobs requiring degrees are so damn hard to get now, everyone has a degree. Idk about your school, but my high school groomed us into going to college. Constantly reminded us to prepare for it and even held meetings to show us how to fill out a student loan application. They made it seem like it was the only option for our future. I'm sure schools everywhere are doing that. I remember my counselor acting almost like I F'd up my life because I used to screw around in school and my GPA dropped too low for the more prestigious schools. Showing me a list of colleges that I could still get into, and all I was thinking was "why should I care?". I didn't have plans involving getting a degree, and as soon as I gave college a shot and saw you had to pay $200+ just to APPLY and have a chance to go, I said nope. Couldn't have made a better choice.

It doesn't make sense anymore. Housing for just a 1 bedroom apartment is going for $1600+. There is nothing near my job for less. And most jobs, unless you're owning a business or have some other specific specialty where you can force higher pay for yourself, most jobs are barely allowing you to do more than break even unless you've already been invested in the business for 5+ years. Because even if 1600 is affordable, that's going to be at vest, more than 40% of your monthly income after taxes. Costs vary so I'm trying to be generous, but no matter how you slice it, average working people can't be spending so much on just one expense. This is a nightmare. Who wants to put themself in a situation where after all expenses, you're barely saving $200 a month? That's not even savings.

Although community colleges aren’t free nationally, several states have instituted their own programs that make community colleges free for students. The eligibility requirements vary by state, but they typically offer free tuition to students that lived and attended high school in the state. Some states restrict free tuition to students studying certain majors, such as science or engineering, or who live in low-income households. In other states, free tuition at community colleges is available to all. Although these programs may tout free community college, keep in mind that the term usually refers only to tuition and school-required fees. Typically, you’re still responsible for covering your other expenses, such as room and board or transportation. As of August 2022, about half of U.S. states offer free community college for students in some form, including: Arkansas California Connecticut Delaware Georgia Hawaii Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maryland Mississippi Missouri Montana Nevada New Jersey New York Oklahoma Oregon Rhode Island South Dakota Tennessee Utah Washington West Virginia@@AFollowerOfCanti

When it comes to getting a job, it has always been about supply and demand and it is still about supply and demand. 75 years ago, few people had an education, so if you did, you could easily get a good job. Today though, everyone has an education. What is rare today is the willingness to get dirty and do something manual with your hands - skilled trades. Electrician. Plumber. Carpenter. Odd jobs. No one wants to work hard (literally) because they all want to take their education and have white collar jobs in big office buildings. So you need to go where those people don't want to go, and if you do that you'll make your $50-$100 /hour and you'll be set. But yes, it'll be hard.

As a self taught artist and graphic designer. I promise you guys the majority of skills do not require you to go to college to learn. You can learn the same level of skill in a quarter of the time and network with others in your field at the same time. Not every skill is so easily accesible though so depending on what skills/career you want. Weigh up the pros and cons of going the college or self taught route, also consider how much employers in your industry value degrees over portfolios and stuff. Develop a skill that you not only enjoy but can open up a lot of avenues for you. Art for example is a skill with countless career paths, same with things like computer science, engineering etc.

I’m over 40, it’s definitely a different world out there now than when I was younger. I’m really not sure what to tel young people but I would say you’ll never know what’s really in store for the future and it will always be shakey but you still gotta get out there and try stuff. Your youth is a value able thing.

I don't know how it is in your country but actually in France, the people who are saving the most money are the boomers. This is fkin insane here because they put a retirement which work in the following manner : The active (workers) are paying for the people retired. BUT, when THEY worked the economy was good and there was 4 peoples to pay 1 retired people. Now we are near to 1,5/1 but the economy is shit so we have bad jobs, and have to pay retired high payed people. Plus, they have the equivalent of 3000 billion euros in houses, and don't sell them, They keep everything, save their money, buy luxury SUV and go on vacation when we are slaving for them. This is insane

Like you, I also recommend that ppl not fully rely on their jobs. I tell ppl to find a good job that requires certain skills that can be used to do that same job for themselves (as a business). A job is necessary to learn skills, learn how an industry works, build connections, etc. Also, jobs aren't soul sucking if they're just a stop on the road towards your overall goals. You gotta do what you gotta do to get where you're tryna go, and sometimes that might be a job you aren't the fondest of.

They didn't care about Netflix subscriptions, DoorDash, Starbucks, Wendy's or any of that other BS. They lived simply and saved their money frugally. The houses were much smaller, and now everyone wants a 2500+ square foot McMansion. That said, the gold standard going away and paper money has definitely made it harder in terms of being able to retain purchasing power for a future investment amount. Nonetheless, we also have many more opportunities to build wealth these days.

Yo thank you for posting this

The very moment people start pouring into trades the jobs will be bid so low the trades will lose all viability

Anyone thinking about starting a trade better do it now before people realize the shortage of labor existing there and start flooding into those jobs. The only reason you can still get a trade job reasonably easily is because they're stigmatized and seen only as something you do when college doesn't work out. Pay is pretty good too. Eventually the only trades left that still pay anything will be the super dangerous ones like commercial diving and working on an oil rig, stuff that will always have a limited number of people lining up to apply for.

Watching this before I go to my minimum wage job(I’m 19 taking a gap year) hopefully one day I can break this cycle and become my own boss. It’s honestly crazy how these starter level job bosses are dumber than someone who just graduated high school

You're amazing and soo wise dude ❤

Great video. Very honest and transparent.

Jobs were never worth it but you either work or you starve and go homeless thats why jobs become necessary.

yeah after 25 horrible jobs, the starving option starts to sound better than this.

Wow youtube just keeps deleting my comments and replies

Problem is, people have no religion (or higher beliefs) you working for no purpose, just to live, the options are endless, most of us are just lost, not happy with alot or little money. Thats why imigrants that get on a boat or jump a fence are just happy to get there, and they will do it for less, because they have a cause and purpose.

I have kind of an opposite experience. Had two jobs with a decent pay where I had do almost nothing. Recently quit a decent paying job (put away a every month and invested in several funds and stock portfolio packages) because i missed the mental challenge and the technicality. Switched to a lower paying one where I can gain experience and really do stuff.

Bankruptcy in the US has changed. It used to be, as you say, "wipe the slate clean" if you have some small debt like credit cards. But now, they do an "ability to pay" assessment. So, say you are a doctor or lawyer. Your "ability to pay" is very high. If you declare bankruptcy, they will consolidate your debt, but you will have to pay it ALL back over time. Now, if you work at a convenience store, they may write off SOME of your debt, due to your lower "ability to pay", but plan on paying something. Bankruptcy isn't really a solution to anything. Your credit will be in the trash for 7 years too.
