You really think the person is to blame if you can't even control if you were born in a country where you can't even buy bread to eat once day? Everyone is entitled to feel the way they do, but if you are to communicate said feelings, you might wanna see how alienated they are with reality, for are those comments that sound like came from someone on a Ivory tower, someone who can't see the forest behind the tree that make people feel resentment that only fester and spreads and ends up on outbursts that do not do any good for anyone.

@@mafiozorek2814 you’re right. You’re paid what you’re worth. Not paid enough ? Get a better skill. If anyone can do your job, it’s not valuable. You don’t get to choose where you’re born but you can always choose to leave. It’s your fault if you waste your time working at a $30k job and never hustle to get a $80k job by learning skills. It won’t be easy but it’s possible.
Don‘t forget: The whole life of a boomer was like a big party. Because living conditions and future outlook were bright, it was worth it for him to participate in the job market the way he did. The life of young men today however is vastly different. Why would you sacrifice yourself on top of the suffering when there‘s no hope?
Doomers came late to the party. I always just smile and nod when my parents give me advice, but deep down I know the world has fundamentally changed, so I have to do what I think is best. Better that way and to at least been my own man than to live your life according to someone else's rules and to regret it.
@@max-rdj9741 yes. The world has fundamentally changed. Looking back it really is the boomer generation's fault as in this started during their time and they did not take proper responsibility for their wealth and instead let the cia program them to be drunken and drugged idiots when they were all laying on gold. Yet, we cannot blame them completely as these things were done to this country on purpose. It's not like they meant for this to happen. Enemies infiltrated us sometime probably in the late 1800's. Some say at the very declaration of the country in 1776. Who knows. Life sucks bro. We're all slaves
@Jokerpilled Saint rather have fond memories when i am old than a big bank balance! You cannot get your youth back, not even with a million dollars on your bank!
I would say when you are young you should work as hard as possible to be able to buy your own home and to invest. When you get older you will have a much better life with less work.

This hit me hard. I earn more than my dad but when my father retired, the entire school threw him a party, every child and teacher adored him, gave him gifts. I have to work with superiors who fire people for doing the same negative habits they practice. I bought a new car recently and well my dad was so happy for me, I felt nothing. My only plus is the money and the fact that I'm able to talk with no filter because I know my work needs me. Great video
can REALLY relate to that last sentence lol, although i ended up resigning from that position a few months ago. there's bound to be negative bs in any workplace, but more so in menial office jobs that encourage the micromanaging culture and win-win networking imo. sure money is a requirement, although it certainly isn't 'success' (at least for most people, myself included). there's only so long you can stay in such a toxic environment before it poisons you in some way and i believe free time to be the cure just as doomer ponders in the video. hope you're doing well all things considered
The only time I recall my dad ever saying he was proud of me is when I bought a new car. That really surprised me. I had done many other things in life that I considered much more valuable but yet getting into debt for a new car is what really makes him proud? We really are an incredibly materialistic society - brought to us by boomers. Money and work is literally all that matters to them.
what if the boomer dad knows exactly what his son is talking about, but because he went down the path of working and gaining money he has to enforce his way on his son or otherwise he has to realize that he wasted his life being a slave to a company instead of being happy and enjoy life. I guess there is no bigger pain than realizing you wasted your whole life.
But the boomers at least had jobs with upwards mobility and stability and often pensions and high incomes relative to the low costs of living so they were highly rewarded for being dedicated to a job. Now in this late stage corrupt capitalist/corporatist system, jobs are very unstable and often low paying relative to costs of living. Especially now, the price of land/housing/etc is mostly unobtainable and we're all aware that the economy/social security will collapse by the time we get old enough. So I think it's more that since the younger generations know they likely won't have a future, they should at least try to enjoy their life a little more now.
Or maybe he DID go down the path his son is talking about. He's now 55 years old and wasn't able to save up as much during the important younger years and now he's gotta work as an older guy and doesn't feel that the joy he got when he was younger was worth it. Not every time are you wiser just by virtue of being younger. Believe it or not, older people were once younger too.
Or he was poor growing up, so overestimates the importance of money and wants to make sure his kids earn a lot because to him that's the definition of success

hate to preach my opinion to a grown man as yourself, but youre young enough to almost be my son.

Enjoy yourself. youre here for a good time, not a long time. dont go out, sell all your shit and become a buddhist then realize youre broke after a week and realize despair, but enjoy it within reason. get away from that soul depleting job of yours and try to find a balance between happiness and wages, live with less if possible. I never left my shit job and am now 40, rotting while still alive with no escape at this point. Good luck to you however you go, man. Go just be happy and turn your back on wojak. dont live a life to appease others at your own expense. 👍 Sincerely, Other-Wojak.
"We give up 5 days of our freedom, in exchange for money, in order to buy freedom back, that's a horrible deal. 5 days in exchange for 2 days if freedom? That's a -60% return." -MJ DeMarco. Not exact words.
All work is terrible. Doesn't matter the job. Unless you are doing what you truly love then its all miserable. And for most people there is no job which matches what they truly love.
Disagree. I've worked in a couple professions and there have been more than two that I've enjoyed and felt satisfied with. Even if the job I've worked wasn't perfect I was fulfiled knowing I'm learning new skill and improvig myself. The key is to find good jobs because no one likes working in some factory.
I'm not even out of college and all my parents do is talk about money. Anytime I sit down and try to talk to them about serious topics like anxiety or depression or needing help, all they do is mention money and it drives me insane.
We live in an age where people are more concerned with money than someone as a human, their health, or their well being. This is why Fight Club inspires a lot of people to do what they want, not what they need to do.
BECAUSE MONEY LETS THEM EAT. PAY THEIR MORTGAGE. PAY THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. PAY EVERYTHING. Can you imagine a kid sitting around a campfire 7000 years ago bitching that their parents only 'talk about what they hunted and gathered today?' Grow up; money is freedom. If you want any comfort in this life it requires cash. Figure it out.
Real good advice for everyone. Use this kind of point in life to push you to better places. Set a finacial goal and a time limit at a place which is making you miserable. It's what I am doing. Using this miserable job to save money and to persue a life of opportunites. Money does not buy happiness. But it does open opportunties of choice, options and more freedom.
@Jokerpilled Saint Truth. Everything is degen. You can’t trust your own neighbor. Relationships between men and women have become irreversibly damaged, which is bad because that is the real backbone of society. Look to the family unit, that is under constant bombardment. Division. Modern society has taken a tragic misstep, and anyone who believes that step is not only not a misstep, but believes it actively benefits them...- is the fool above all fools. For his foolishness/ignorance is a detriment to not only himself, but his fellow man.
I think all is about sacrificing one thing in order to gain other. In this situation, our guy sacrifices his spare time for earning more money. The thing is, this sacrifices must make you happy. I am not saying never work if it makes you happy. Think both short and long terms when making choices. Great video.
I look at it like effort in reward out I want the reward to be a net positive rather than breaking even or worse losing out, a job isn't spelt F.U.N but you don't get anything out of it when you're too busy working to actually spend the money you earn
@Jokerpilled Saint look into nietzschean philosophy Specifically the idea of the ubermensch, you might find it appealing and decide to work towards it, that'll give you a direction to go in and a purpose

I threw a year of my life away at my last job. For shit pay, breaking my body and mind, seeing people get hurt because the conditions could get bad. It locks you in and you feel like it’s all you have. But it’s not. Throw that shit away and don’t let money rule your life.
I have a friend that I've known since high school, he dropped out in grade 11. We catch up recently, talk about work, and he says "Work is supposed to be miserable thats what we do at our age." I understand a lot of people have to work shit jobs but passive acceptance of one's situation with no intent to better it, is no way to live your entire life.
Had a friend who thought like that to. After a few years of various shit jobs he went back and did all of high school then went to college and today he works with what he actually want.
It gives me joy that the young generations understand this a lot more. The old gens think it's just work work work, and you have no life at all. What's the point of living if we don't get to enjoy life in our limited amount of time. If people were to die tomorrow they'd take all the risk and follow their dreams
In my country it is actually very common to work part time. I know many people who work only 32 hours, some women even work less. This way you get to spend more time to be with your loved ones and enjoy live.

This is something I wish my parents would watch and understand, especially my own dad. I doubt anyone is going to see this comment but if you can please don't get a job until are on your own. I know the money seems like it's worth it but it's not, I've been working 3+ years now and if it wasn't for the fact that I'm using it to try to move out I would just throw it all away for all I give a shit because it made me resort to constant spending to even feel somewhat ok. Really if anything I never knew that freedom was the most valuable thing I had. I have ideas for the future and want to start my business but I just know my parents are doing everything they can to talk me out of it and slow me down. I just wish they didn't always go to hating what they don't understand, but at the same time I know they won't change.
I saw some video of some rich dude. Maybe it was grant cardone or someone idk. He was in a interview and said how he was getting one of his mansions built and one day the architect couldn't make it and something else went wrong and he was all mad and shit losing his cool. And when he came to the job site he saw a few worker's there that were able to make it and they were playing music and dancing and then he said he realized. "I'm getting a mansion built and I'm not as happy as the guys building my mansion, they're living a better life than me" and honestly it stuck with me.
I literally live only on saturdays. When I come from work the only thing I want just to turn myself off. Not to sleep, but literally turn off. When we are kids we don't realise how it's great to have so much free time to spend. I have not bad wage for my region but for what? I don't even want anything.
Well, you always can work on the fields. The minimum wage is 14$ per hour, 8-10 hours per day here in California, but you don't need to work every day, just the days you'd like. You have at least 3 times to rest between work, it's a bit heavy, depending of what kind of field work you get (you always can choose which one), some are hard and you can get buff with that (seriously, is better than the gym) and others are too slow and you do practically nothing in all the day, just cutting leaf or something like that (my favorite, btw) and you have to be ready at the 3 AM (but the work start until the 6) and learn to talk to the bosses asking for job, until you know them, then they will ask you to came with them if you want, by phone, If you want free time for you and have money without stupid contracts, paper, forced schedules, or even the high school, then you have the fields, is not too bad, all you need is have a regular health and the capacity to withstand cutting vegetables in 3-hour lapses, for 3 times, with breaks between each, ah, and not to fear the dust, rain, cold, the sun, or get dirty, you know, it's a field after all. Every new mexican immigrant (legal or illegal) pass trough that at least for 3 months before get a "normal" job, but most of them are living happy with 400-600$ per week working 5-6 days per week, and never leave it, all they get the unemployment insurance in summer (June-July) when the job ends naturally because of the weather, or the end of the season (you always can find another place with other kind of work on season, like go from onions, to carrots, apples or watermelon to always have your job if you need money), before to restart in September-October. Then you can have 3 justified months of insurance without work because of the nature of your job (unless you get another one), getting money from your own insurance, without questions, just getting money each 2 weeks depending of how much you work in the last year, from 250$ each 2 weeks to 600-800 each 2 weeks, for 3 months, some kind of "paid vacation" of course you pay some of that money in taxes, but you will never realize of that, and always you can get at least 500$ in return of taxes each year, unless you have kids, then you get even more, like 2000-4000$ each year. And, it's optional, but if you don't care about the place you live, you can move to the border, everything is cheaper, and if you cross to Mexico sometimes, you can get the rich life without problem, women, fun, beaches, just working 3-6 days per week, or whenever you want, that's the American dream, at least a part of it. The bad part here is of course, the kind of work, not necessarily an office job lol. It's good those who want to be more "independent" from the regular system, working just when you want, getting the money you need, and with paid vacations on summer, unless you don't want to, you can choose, it's up to you. Just a tip. Good luck!
Just do this: Work at country that pays the most for whatever job you are working. For example Netherlands, Germany or Canada if you can get there. etc. Save up all the money you can. Buying basically only food and necessary stuff. And then move and start living in poorer country. Any European country that is not at the top. etc. (I'm personally from Latvia, Baltic region) Or third "world" country if you are not scared, where your money would make you feel like mega rich, on their poor background. (Not recommended) For me personally, I have calculated, I'd have to work around 6-7 years with overtime. (Basically taking off only sundays) But I'd have enough money to buy myself my own apartment, even remodel it the way I'd like it and still have enough money to live like 10 years job-free and have my freedom. Obviously that's living decent lifestyle, no fancy cars or anything, but I don't need fancy car or newest IPhone. etc I value my freedom far way more than materialistic stuff. And what to do before money runs out in 10 years is simple, just work part time, for example winters at my country are very cold, so I'd just work winters (3 months), that would be enough money to prolong my freedom for another 1-2 years, just by working 3 months and saving money. The problem is that 6-7 years already feel like way too long, right. But then we know people do work even 45 and more years. On that background working only 6-7 years, I'd have to feel blessed, right? The problem is that we don't know what will happen after 6-7 years. Maybe world won't even exist at that point, maybe inflation will be at all time high, unemployment at all time high. etc. So we end up working and living in the moment. P.S. I totally recommend quitting smoke, weed and alcohol. You can save so much money, by just doing that. And you'll will better. Start working out, go to gym if it's possible for you. Eat healthy.
The best thing you can buy with money is never needing to work again. Wagie needs to find low cost housing so he can invest as much money as possible in an index fund or even better some form of passive income like a business. No car, videogame, drink or outfit can compare to complete fininacial freedom.
This is my dad's exact reaction when I tell him that I don't want to work in a factory because they work you constantly. The money was pretty nice to see, sure, but I wasted my summer in a hot building making a product that only benefited rich people (making the body parts for cars). I would work at least 8 hours a day, 7 days a week. I'd go, work out, and then come home and get on my phone. I learned to hate that and would much rather do a 40 hour work week doing something I'm interested in. Dude, go to college, trade school, or pick up an apprenticeship for plumbing or carpentry and make money on the job. Take your time living life. I don't care what people say to me when I say I don't want to work constantly. It's not healthy for me.
Working constantly sucks. That's why I avoid warehouses or call centres. I worked in disability and it was crazy but chilled. Going to the park,beaches,or just cooking food and watching a movie lol pay was damn good in my area too. But the coprate side of this is absolutely nuts.
Coronavirus virus, loosing my job, collecting unemployment and investing all of it, ensuring I never have to work again. Best things that's ever happened to me

I hold their same values but don't let pride control me, cause they do. You dont think I'm already judged and looked down on? But I don't care what any of them think, cause it's not logical and I think you know that too. Me being on unemployment isn't going to fix the counties taxes.

The reason doomers feel like how they do is because society. They conform to it because they "have" to. Hopefully one day you will learn you don't have to do what society thinks of you, it's not selfish. It's all up to choice and what you want for your life. Don't live for other people and what they think. I can choose to take advantage of the system and not think I'm an asshole for doing it. There's so many people that are actually being idiots with this money. I have a girlfriend and sometime soon a family. My life's about them, not everyone else around me. Is that selfish? To not want to work my ass off like my father so I can raise my kids correctly? I don't think it is. And you want to say stuff about taxes but as my bother in law who toured in Afghanistan said "most your tax money goes to blowing up children in the middle east". So what's really unethical? You have to live for what you want, not what others want for you. That's what average is. Think about it, your arguing with someone who's not doing something average yet your calling me "average". Good Luck!
this hits me. I have a money but I’m still non content of what I have. I feel like my routine is to wake up and work. I don’t know when was the last time I have time to relax.
Sounds like my dad and it hits so close home. I have to reconsider what I'm doing with my life... My parents held me for 6 years in a men only catholic school without letting me meet any girls during those years just for me to get in a decent college, be "successful" and get a better job in the future as an engineer. Now that I'm in my second year, I can't find any girl to befriend me, because they all have been taken and had their "fun" in high school while I was hand tied to work. They want to choo everything in my life, my friends, my job, my wife, they seem to decide what's "best" for me. And of course my grandparents ask me when will I be marrying. Not anytime soon, they also push it to "when you're older you'll thank me".
Don’t stress about women when you are young. Once they hit mid to late twenties they start frantically looking for someone dependable to snatch up. Build your life up and focus on yourself. Wasted most of my twenties in a dead end relationship I got in when I was a teenager and was worst decision of my life.
I share the same thoughts as you. I never "lived" high school, I threw away my teenage days playing League, masturbating most of the week and try to be cool at parties by drinking too much. I dropped Uni in Mexico, and I went to the States to work and study. I cannot look up for a girl or hanging around because I'm studying or trying to figure out how to take some advantage in life. Pro tip: Never work as an order picker at Amazon; most depressing job ever.

If you're gonna lecture him like that, at least balance it out by saying something like, "this too shall pass." Don't make the kid think that this is all there is now.
The work and good cash earlier might allow him to do better things further down the road.

Despite the blinders, you have to admire the persistence and optimism a lot of boomers have. I think any gen can benefit from that and combine it with their own strengths.
I'm fortunate enough to work part time living with my parents, and when I have a few thousand in savings, I can tell the boss I won't be coming in this weekend with confidence! I also inherit my 85 year old grandmothers house when she passes, and I would just owe 50 bucks a month property taxes.
Thank you capitalism! Now I feel empty, shallow, and disconnected from my fellow man. But at least I have material pleasures to temporarily fill the void and distract myself from the existential dread of an empty meaningless existence!
I strived to having a great job and making good money, I had a quarter-life crisis and realized I only wanted that because I thought that was expected of me. I currently work a job with good pay for what I do. I have an apartment, I save money, and I do my best to create fond memories and strive to impress myself.
I am in exact same position as said doomer here. A lot of work and a decent amount of money. Except.. I like it. In the past I have been a stoner, smoking my days and money away, without work for 5 years straight. That lifestyle gave me depression and panic attacks. Never again. Men must have a purpose in life, without it we eventually go down a dark path. Work is one form of purpose. I like work!
the only reason he has so much money is because he's slaving away without any time to spend money he earned meaning he has nothing at all he's gonna get old and all this money will still do him no good because he will be too sick and old to do anything with it wasting entire year so once he can spend two weeks somewhere and pretend he's rested no friends no girlfriend because he's every day at work and two days he has free he just wants to rest from work but always something ruins the day off he has great life with great possibilities my ass apparently it is too much to want a stable job that pays decentyl without ruining your whole life
Ah what a curious thing life is, decisions, right, wrong, best, worst? One thing I can definitely tell you, when you get older, EVERYTHING stops working like it used to.... And you can't/don't want to do the fun stuff, so.... Do it while you are young! 😅
After working full time for a few years I've decided time is more important than pay. As long as I can support myself simply, I'll be happy if it means I have more time outside of work.
When the boomer was younger everything was much more affordable so he didn't have the work-life balance issue that millenials have. They were able to enjoy the fruits of their labor in real time. But those same boomers forgot about how good they had it and tell us we need to work 30-40 years to have a good life. We don't want to wait until we're almost dead to enjoy.
Honestly, sounds like he chose the wrong career path. I know people who work computer engineering jobs, and have so much fun doing what they do and make money on top of it. I think the lesson here is think longterm about what degree you choose and what you want to do. Dont think too much about how much money you are going to make, but realize that some degrees and trades don't give you stability.
Yeah but what's to guarantee you're not going to be phased out? Mechanics are fucked, electric cars are replacing their skillset. Machinists are replaced by CNC. Welders are replaced by robots. Drivers are replaced by self driving vehicles. Coders write code to replace them. Hell, AI is replacing a whole shitton of stuff. At the end of the day, there's only lawyers, execs, and stock managers. So the choice is either become the scum of the earth, or get replaced.
@@internetbodhi1009 well, i guess we'll all end up either controlling the AI or being controlled by the AI, probably via the metaverse or something. i mean, damn. even many aspects of STEM can quickly be replaced with smart enough AI. e.g. AI generating certain codes for programmers, instead of the programmers having to do that work themselves. or AI doing most of the operating for surgeons, while the surgeon just sits there pushing the buttons. eventually it seems everything will be so heavily automated even the STEM field will be largely useless and only those who are the big owners of AI will be well-off.

When young men waste their important years of their youth and being robbed from creating families and being happy.... you will create a generation of walking dead. One of my best buddies is a doomer with insomnia, working his ass off... always thinking of the responsibility and not wanting to be seen as a lazy bum. He barely has any private / social life and i am one of the very few who are allowed to sometimes get a glimpse into his soul.. with jokingly cries for help that are always choked up by resignation and acceptance..... It kills me to see him like that😢 And i just wanna save him because he means EVERYTHING to me. But we don't even live in the same country.
I was in a dilemma where I was working two comfortable jobs: one involving as a paralegal for a law office and the other as a realtor on weekends. About a year into this I felt drained and I didn’t have enough time to study, work on my car, do fun things with friends and do maintenance at my house. I recently quit my job at the law office to work at another law office that offered higher pay. I quit the job 3 days in because I was the only employee there and my new boss was an 80 year old douchebag that didn’t have the patience to train me or have the means to keep himself organized. After quitting, I finally managed to have time to work on my house and I am now able to study so that I can advance my career. I might be earning less at the moment but at least I have time to do the things I need to do outside work. My parents were very supportive and they said all they want me to do is to give it all I got and get into law school. If you feel the need to set aside some time for some fun, go for it. My father told me this, “There will always be work.”
I was working as electrician out of highschool did it for a bout 4 years and had expectations of becoming a journeyman by 21. Went to school again and realized i was very bad at math and code but good in the field. I watched my co workers progress as i just stayed as an apprentice so i quit and sold all my stuff and tools and moved to australia where i have family and always wanted to go now i make more than all of them and im glad i made a decision to get out of the slave cycle that i was in. Life is good but i got lucky.

This hit me hard. I earn more than my dad but when my father retired, the entire school threw him a party, every child and teacher adored him, gave him gifts. I have to work with superiors who fire people for doing the same negative habits they practice. I bought a new car recently and well my dad was so happy for me, I felt nothing. My only plus is the money and the fact that I'm able to talk with no filter because I know my work needs me. Great video
What do u do for work bro? if u don’t mind me asking
can REALLY relate to that last sentence lol, although i ended up resigning from that position a few months ago. there's bound to be negative bs in any workplace, but more so in menial office jobs that encourage the micromanaging culture and win-win networking imo. sure money is a requirement, although it certainly isn't 'success' (at least for most people, myself included). there's only so long you can stay in such a toxic environment before it poisons you in some way and i believe free time to be the cure just as doomer ponders in the video. hope you're doing well all things considered
The only time I recall my dad ever saying he was proud of me is when I bought a new car. That really surprised me. I had done many other things in life that I considered much more valuable but yet getting into debt for a new car is what really makes him proud? We really are an incredibly materialistic society - brought to us by boomers. Money and work is literally all that matters to them.

What do you do for a living ?

what if the boomer dad knows exactly what his son is talking about, but because he went down the path of working and gaining money he has to enforce his way on his son or otherwise he has to realize that he wasted his life being a slave to a company instead of being happy and enjoy life. I guess there is no bigger pain than realizing you wasted your whole life.
yep
But the boomers at least had jobs with upwards mobility and stability and often pensions and high incomes relative to the low costs of living so they were highly rewarded for being dedicated to a job. Now in this late stage corrupt capitalist/corporatist system, jobs are very unstable and often low paying relative to costs of living. Especially now, the price of land/housing/etc is mostly unobtainable and we're all aware that the economy/social security will collapse by the time we get old enough. So I think it's more that since the younger generations know they likely won't have a future, they should at least try to enjoy their life a little more now.
Or maybe he DID go down the path his son is talking about. He's now 55 years old and wasn't able to save up as much during the important younger years and now he's gotta work as an older guy and doesn't feel that the joy he got when he was younger was worth it.

Real good advice for everyone. Use this kind of point in life to push you to better places. Set a finacial goal and a time limit at a place which is making you miserable. It's what I am doing. Using this miserable job to save money and to persue a life of opportunites. Money does not buy happiness. But it does open opportunties of choice, options and more freedom.

Relationships between men and women have become irreversibly damaged, which is bad because that is the real backbone of society. Look to the family unit, that is under constant bombardment. Division.

I have a friend that I've known since high school, he dropped out in grade 11. We catch up recently, talk about work, and he says "Work is supposed to be miserable thats what we do at our age." I understand a lot of people have to work shit jobs but passive acceptance of one's situation with no intent to better it, is no way to live your entire life.
Had a friend who thought like that to. After a few years of various shit jobs he went back and did all of high school then went to college and today he works with what he actually want.

Well, you always can work on the fields.
The minimum wage is 14$ per hour, 8-10 hours per day here in California, but you don't need to work every day, just the days you'd like. You have at least 3 times to rest between work, it's a bit heavy, depending of what kind of field work you get (you always can choose which one), some are hard and you can get buff with that (seriously, is better than the gym) and others are too slow and you do practically nothing in all the day, just cutting leaf or something like that (my favorite, btw) and you have to be ready at the 3 AM (but the work start until the 6) and learn to talk to the bosses asking for job, until you know them, then they will ask you to came with them if you want, by phone, If you want free time for you and have money without stupid contracts, paper, forced schedules, or even the high school, then you have the fields, is not too bad, all you need is have a regular health and the capacity to withstand cutting vegetables in 3-hour lapses, for 3 times, with breaks between each, ah, and not to fear the dust, rain, cold, the sun, or get dirty, you know, it's a field after all.
Every new mexican immigrant (legal or illegal) pass trough that at least for 3 months before get a "normal" job, but most of them are living happy with 400-600$ per week working 5-6 days per week, and never leave it,
all they get the unemployment insurance in summer (June-July) when the job ends naturally because of the weather, or the end of the season (you always can find another place with other kind of work on season, like go from onions, to carrots, apples or watermelon to always have your job if you need money), before to restart in September-October. Then you can have 3 justified months of insurance without work because of the nature of your job (unless you get another one), getting money from your own insurance, without questions, just getting money each 2 weeks depending of how much you work in the last year, from 250$ each 2 weeks to 600-800 each 2 weeks, for 3 months, some kind of "paid vacation" of course you pay some of that money in taxes, but you will never realize of that, and always you can get at least 500$ in return of taxes each year, unless you have kids, then you get even more, like 2000-4000$ each year.
And, it's optional, but if you don't care about the place you live, you can move to the border, everything is cheaper, and if you cross to Mexico sometimes, you can get the rich life without problem, women, fun, beaches, just working 3-6 days per week, or whenever you want, that's the American dream, at least a part of it. The bad part here is of course, the kind of work, not necessarily an office job lol.
It's good those who want to be more "independent" from the regular system, working just when you want, getting the money you need, and with paid vacations on summer, unless you don't want to, you can choose, it's up to you.
Just a tip. Good luck!
The trick is to find a job that’s fulfilling so you’re not constantly obsessed about having enough free time.
Just do this:
Work at country that pays the most for whatever job you are working. For example Netherlands, Germany or Canada if you can get there. etc.
Save up all the money you can. Buying basically only food and necessary stuff.
And then move and start living in poorer country. Any European country that is not at the top. etc.
(I'm personally from Latvia, Baltic region)
Or third "world" country if you are not scared, where your money would make you feel like mega rich, on their poor background. (Not recommended)
For me personally, I have calculated, I'd have to work around 6-7 years with overtime. (Basically taking off only sundays)
But I'd have enough money to buy myself my own apartment, even remodel it the way I'd like it and still have enough money to live like 10 years job-free and have my freedom.
Obviously that's living decent lifestyle, no fancy cars or anything, but I don't need fancy car or newest IPhone. etc
I value my freedom far way more than materialistic stuff.
And what to do before money runs out in 10 years is simple, just work part time, for example winters at my country are very cold, so I'd just work winters (3 months), that would be enough money to prolong my freedom for another 1-2 years, just by working 3 months and saving money.
The problem is that 6-7 years already feel like way too long, right. But then we know people do work even 45 and more years. On that background working only 6-7 years, I'd have to feel blessed, right?
The problem is that we don't know what will happen after 6-7 years. Maybe world won't even exist at that point, maybe inflation will be at all time high, unemployment at all time high. etc.
So we end up working and living in the moment.
P.S. I totally recommend quitting smoke, weed and alcohol. You can save so much money, by just doing that. And you'll will better. Start working out, go to gym if it's possible for you. Eat healthy.
Agree on all of this.

The best thing you can buy with money is never needing to work again.

This is my dad's exact reaction when I tell him that I don't want to work in a factory because they work you constantly.

Coronavirus virus, loosing my job, collecting unemployment and investing all of it, ensuring I never have to work again. Best things that's ever happened to me
I should have done that from the start I was using unemployment to pay off debt
Paying off debt is NEVER a mistake. You CANNOT invest until you first become debt free!
@@X-B-hn2uc and you wouldn't do the same? I came from a IT job that I worked for 4 years and got my card pulled last year. You think that was my choice? Your just upset cause the same situation was not granted to you. You think you would go back to work when the governments the one being dumb, paying people $3,000 a month. Not my choice. But I'm going to choose to make a intelligent decision, not one based off pride. You can judge however you want. But if you can't see what the smarter choice was it's a wonder why you are watching doomer videos lol
@@X-B-hn2uc What's the smarter logical choice? One base off pride where I go back to work, because I fear being judge by others, and what society thinks. I live in a very conservative area, I grew up with their values but I see how hard they work, and how much they hate their lives. I hold their same values but don't let pride control me, cause they do. You dont think I'm already judged and looked down on? But I don't care what any of them think, cause it's not logical and I think you know that too. Me being on unemployment isn't going to fix the counties taxes. I am just one guy, and you don't know my past that made me see things like how I do now. I've seen poverty dude, I have seen my bother and sisters not be able to eat, to not have electricity because my mom couldn't afford it, I have seen people waste their lives away working their asses off only to get old and hate what they have done. You only have one life man, don't base it off of pride and what others think of you. I'm making sure that my life is setup so that I can be happy and live free. Is that wrong? If the same situation was granted to you, I would not judge you I would be happy for you.
@@X-B-hn2uc American society is fucked. Why do you think the younger generation feels hopeless. Your on doomer videos dude, look it up and the meaning of a doomer. The reason doomers feel like how they do is because society. They conform to it because they "have" to. Hopefully one day you will learn you don't have to do what society thinks of you, it's not selfish. It's all up to choice and what you want for your life. Don't live for other people and what they think. I can choose to take advantage of the system and not think I'm an asshole for doing it. There's so many people that are actually being idiots with this money. I have a girlfriend and sometime soon a family. My life's about them, not everyone else around me. Is that selfish? To not want to work my ass off like my father so I can raise my kids correctly? I don't think it is. And you want to say stuff about taxes but as my bother in law who toured in Afghanistan said "most your tax money goes to blowing up children in the middle east". So what's really unethical? You have to live for what you want, not what others want for you. That's what average is. Think about it, your arguing with someone who's not doing something average yet your calling me "average". Good Luck!
"When work is a duty, life is slavery"
this hits me. I have a money but I’m still non content of what I have. I feel like my routine is to wake up and work. I don’t know when was the last time I have time to relax.
Sounds like my dad and it hits so close home. I have to reconsider what I'm doing with my life... My parents held me for 6 years in a men only catholic school without letting me meet any girls during those years just for me to get in a decent college, be "successful" and get a better job in the future as an engineer. Now that I'm in my second year, I can't find any girl to befriend me, because they all have been taken and had their "fun" in high school while I was hand tied to work. They want to choo everything in my life, my friends, my job, my wife, they seem to decide what's "best" for me. And of course my grandparents ask me when will I be marrying. Not anytime soon, they also push it to "when you're older you'll thank me".
Don’t stress about women when you are young. Once they hit mid to late twenties they start frantically looking for someone dependable to snatch up. Build your life up and focus on yourself. Wasted most of my twenties in a dead end relationship I got in when I was a teenager and was worst decision of my life.
So very very true. Single women approaching 30 are FAR more desperate than single men at that age......
I share the same thoughts as you. I never "lived" high school, I threw away my teenage days playing League, masturbating most of the week and try to be cool at parties by drinking too much. I dropped Uni in Mexico, and I went to the States to work and study. I cannot look up for a girl or hanging around because I'm studying or trying to figure out how to take some advantage in life.
Pro tip: Never work as an order picker at Amazon; most depressing job ever.
Be cold brother, make them acknowledge how they set you up without even knowing, your life would've been way better if they didn't force whatever trash ideology they put you through,
If you're gonna lecture him like that, at least balance it out by saying something like, "this too shall pass." Don't make the kid think that this is all there is now.
but, that's all there really is
Why lie; you work and then you die. Some make more, some less.
The work and good cash earlier might allow him to do better things further down the road. (Ex: start his own company, open a business etc. Where as going from pleasures to pleasures will let you achieve nothing in life appart of wasting your time and money with other spoiled childs. You will Wake UP at 30 and will try to get back go the work you could have had at 20. Realising you wasted 10 years of your life with narcissicists with a lot of psychological issues.
We carry many ideas from the older generations but leave many behind as well.
"What are you going to do with more spare time?"
I don't know. That's the problem. These fucking people have been farming me so hard I don't even know what I would do anymore if they weren't. I need the time to recover and become interested in the world again.
This is a TERRIFYINGLY accurate representation of my actual life. Fuck.
Christ my dad is like that
I can relate so Hard! Just quit the Post Office. Everyone looked at me sideways...
I’ve always tried to see the Boomer character in a positive way, but this... this hits different...
Despite the blinders, you have to admire the persistence and optimism a lot of boomers have. I think any gen can benefit from that and combine it with their own strengths.
I think you’re right. Almost every generation has something beneficial to teach us - and the positives outweigh the negative attitudes ☀️
The worst of it isn't so much the work but everything else.
job isn't spelt F.U.N but the family court, culture and taxes just don't make it feel worth it
The system grinds. Wage slavery is real.
I'm fortunate enough to work part time living with my parents, and when I have a few thousand in savings, I can tell the boss I won't be coming in this weekend with confidence! I also inherit my 85 year old grandmothers house when she passes, and I would just owe 50 bucks a month property taxes.
Thank you capitalism! Now I feel empty, shallow, and disconnected from my fellow man. But at least I have material pleasures to temporarily fill the void and distract myself from the existential dread of an empty meaningless existence!

Sitting here watching this....
At Work
I strived to having a great job and making good money, I had a quarter-life crisis and realized I only wanted that because I thought that was expected of me. I currently work a job with good pay for what I do. I have an apartment, I save money, and I do my best to create fond memories and strive to impress myself.
this hits home, very sad to see it happen
One word: inflation
I am in exact same position as said doomer here. A lot of work and a decent amount of money. Except.. I like it. In the past I have been a stoner, smoking my days and money away, without work for 5 years straight. That lifestyle gave me depression and panic attacks. Never again. Men must have a purpose in life, without it we eventually go down a dark path. Work is one form of purpose. I like work!
His dad is right
>sips monster
the only reason he has so much money is because he's slaving away without any time to spend money he earned
meaning he has nothing at all
he's gonna get old and all this money will still do him no good because he will be too sick and old to do anything with it
wasting entire year so once he can spend two weeks somewhere and pretend he's rested
no friends no girlfriend because he's every day at work
and two days he has free he just wants to rest from work but always something ruins the day off he has
great life with great possibilities my ass
apparently it is too much to want a stable job that pays decentyl without ruining your whole life
I'm in that same position thinking I'd make enough money to retire in 10 years
Ah what a curious thing life is, decisions, right, wrong, best, worst? One thing I can definitely tell you, when you get older, EVERYTHING stops working like it used to.... And you can't/don't want to do the fun stuff, so.... Do it while you are young! 😅
How old are you sunny Boy
After working full time for a few years I've decided time is more important than pay. As long as I can support myself simply, I'll be happy if it means I have more time outside of work.
When the boomer was younger everything was much more affordable so he didn't have the work-life balance issue that millenials have. They were able to enjoy the fruits of their labor in real time. But those same boomers forgot about how good they had it and tell us we need to work 30-40 years to have a good life. We don't want to wait until we're almost dead to enjoy.
god we sighed at the same time
Left the sociopathic corporate world in 2015 when I was 39.
Been living ever since.
Where did you end up?
@@Logan-jh5xn Small business owner in Prague. No boss, just clients.
Honestly, sounds like he chose the wrong career path. I know people who work computer engineering jobs, and have so much fun doing what they do and make money on top of it. I think the lesson here is think longterm about what degree you choose and what you want to do. Dont think too much about how much money you are going to make, but realize that some degrees and trades don't give you stability.
I'd say trades actually give you stability and freedom if you can hack going independent
Most degrees are actually useless with the exception of STEM and business
Yeah but what's to guarantee you're not going to be phased out?
Mechanics are fucked, electric cars are replacing their skillset. Machinists are replaced by CNC. Welders are replaced by robots. Drivers are replaced by self driving vehicles. Coders write code to replace them. Hell, AI is replacing a whole shitton of stuff.
At the end of the day, there's only lawyers, execs, and stock managers. So the choice is either become the scum of the earth, or get replaced.
@@internetbodhi1009 well, i guess we'll all end up either controlling the AI or being controlled by the AI, probably via the metaverse or something.
i mean, damn. even many aspects of STEM can quickly be replaced with smart enough AI. e.g. AI generating certain codes for programmers, instead of the programmers having to do that work themselves. or AI doing most of the operating for surgeons, while the surgeon just sits there pushing the buttons. eventually it seems everything will be so heavily automated even the STEM field will be largely useless and only those who are the big owners of AI will be well-off.
@@shreksburgers exactly. There's no guarantee anything you go for is stable.
Go for what you like, make as much money as you can morally, and then brace for impact.
That's why it's good to make friends with your co-workers and bosses. If it weren't for this, I'd probably be an alcoholic.
"What to do with more free time?"
Start my own business 😭
You're not missing anything at those parties anyway
I realized the best times in my life were those which I had no work. Sure I was miseerable from being broke but I had zero mental stress. I think I have depression.
When young men waste their important years of their youth and being robbed from creating families and being happy.... you will create a generation of walking dead. One of my best buddies is a doomer with insomnia, working his ass off... always thinking of the responsibility and not wanting to be seen as a lazy bum. He barely has any private / social life and i am one of the very few who are allowed to sometimes get a glimpse into his soul.. with jokingly cries for help that are always choked up by resignation and acceptance..... It kills me to see him like that😢 And i just wanna save him because he means EVERYTHING to me. But we don't even live in the same country.
The problem is that he can provide, but there's no one to provide for. Only himself. Nobody else
This is Warehouse work in a nutshell
his mistake is doing overtime instead of using spare time to create his own business.
It's terrible to be able to feel NOTHING when u seem to have it all.
and worse when u have it all and it was took it from u
This hits home
Great video bro
thanks
I was in a dilemma where I was working two comfortable jobs: one involving as a paralegal for a law office and the other as a realtor on weekends. About a year into this I felt drained and I didn’t have enough time to study, work on my car, do fun things with friends and do maintenance at my house. I recently quit my job at the law office to work at another law office that offered higher pay. I quit the job 3 days in because I was the only employee there and my new boss was an 80 year old douchebag that didn’t have the patience to train me or have the means to keep himself organized. After quitting, I finally managed to have time to work on my house and I am now able to study so that I can advance my career. I might be earning less at the moment but at least I have time to do the things I need to do outside work. My parents were very supportive and they said all they want me to do is to give it all I got and get into law school. If you feel the need to set aside some time for some fun, go for it. My father told me this, “There will always be work.”
After this. I wont tell my kids to go as exactly as I.
Would be rad having a dad with a British accent that slams Monsters all day shirtless
I felt this so hard. This is me right now in my life... And thought this today...
Doing that strategy of work work work. Works in the FIRE STRATEGY work a couple of years to retire early

I was working as electrician out of highschool did it for a bout 4 years and had expectations of becoming a journeyman by 21. Went to school again and realized i was very bad at math and code but good in the field. I watched my co workers progress as i just stayed as an apprentice so i quit and sold all my stuff and tools and moved to australia where i have family and always wanted to go now i make more than all of them and im glad i made a decision to get out of the slave cycle that i was in. Life is good but i got lucky.
im 19 and im going through the same shit, i feel like i live to work, exhausted to go out or pursue my goals. fuck..... i just wanna travel
You need to work. How will you travel and do nice things without the money you earn from work. Now go get ready, you are late.
@@zudemaster i know friend, i just dont wanna work as slave
