Why I Stopped Working Normal Jobs 😑

- I explain why I stopped trying to live like a normal person. Basically in a nutshell it was because I was tired of being afraid. I think a lot of people live a life they don't necessarily want to live because there is something that they are afraid of.
THANK YOU for the likes, subs, comments and just positive vibes in general. I love and appreciate every single one of you 🙂

Regular jobs are like suicide disconnect you from earth you have to wear shoes and go against what nature intended you to live
You lead an interesting life. Happiness comes from living how you truly want to live. It's better to be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy, but money isn't the answer to many problems because the problem often isn't a money issue or one that money can solve.
I'm 55, divorced, no kids, rent a one-bedroom and seven years ago dropped out of the corporate world for lower-paying fun jobs alongside folks 20 - 30 years younger than I. Some look down on me but that's their problem. I like watching videos about alternative lifestyles because I can relate to doing it differently.
Sounds like my life
Now that I’m in my late 30s I’m at that age where u start to realize just how fast life goes by. Every year seems to go by faster now . 55 seems older but it’s really not, one day you’re 25 the next you’re 55 and look back on life wondering where did the time go. At 38 myself it honestly only feels like 4-5 yrs ago I was 21 lol, and you think where young some sort of wisdom comes with age which to an extent is true but I’m pretty much the same guy at 38 I was at 21 lol. Life goes by fast, looking ahead when you’re younger and like 20 u think u have all the time in the universe but it’s just an illusion, life really is short and the time goes by fast. I really can’t believe I’m a couple years from 40.

i cant wait until i have enough money to pay for your patreon, im struggling with addiction and love your advice/words of wisdom, you’re the sanest person i’ve ever heard speak
Joey, I respect the shit out of your hard-nosed, no bullshit style in life. When I was a welder/steel worker for 5 years, they still didn't want to pay me for my certs, let alone my annual raises. They were so scummy. The building I worked in was black from welding fumes and black vapor barrier paint for the chastity to run manufactured homes all over the world brethren, I was dragging 80 feet of 12 inch I beam into the building on 30 year old rollers all by hand and By the time I left I was addicted to pain meds and in shambles from how this world can just stick it to you like no other but I tell yas what, Joey how many times you ever seen a Hearst pulling a U haul behind it 😂😂😂
Most those people are still there wasting away having their bonuses go to new jacked up trucks, jet skis, and cancun Mex trips for all of the head corporate and their demonic minion managers
Everyone has a different mindset, call me a bum, I am not slaving my life away to make someone else wealthy.
Hell yeah!
Oh man....i soooo agree with being so fuckin exhausted after a 9-5 that there is no energy to use our talents.
Alsoooo.....creatives, alike, i think dont possess the discipline it takes without a fire under our asses.
Makes being responsible difficult sometimes lol!!

I work at olive garden and ive had these thoughts alot but yesterday i went to take the trash out, it was beautiful outside and I felt a STRONG sense of, really Im in here working, losing 8 sometimes 16 hours a day for a tiny paycheck when just outside shits happening and things are beautiful and so many places to explore and so many areas call for help. Like what the fuck are we doing? All of us? Why do I slave for olivegarden to give me a paycheck? Even if I could go higher In the ranks, I have no desire. I too will get there eventually, I just have yet to figure out how and develop the proper grit or get the proper inspiration. Im beyond exausted listening to everyone who thinks this is the only way to live. All I have to do is stepoutside any day at work and know it's wrong, no one needs to tell me. And its been this way for too long now
Dude just quit. Wander the earth. You’re young and capable
Who needs fake therapy from the government when you have Joey. I appreciate you're wisdom. When I get the money up I'll be getting the Patreon. Keep consistent with what you're doing and you'll have 100,000 subs in no time.
Right you are!
Funny you should say that, I come to watch his videos when I am feeling super down with myself, my life because of not fitting into society, or my family, etc.
Eventually, within the next 6 months im guessing i will probably make a 3$ tier for Patreon because at that point i will have enough content on there to make multiple tiers.
@@joeythegypsy as soon as I can, I'm hoping on it! should be sooner rather than later! .. Your an inspiration, validation, motivation, and I for one am so glad you make these videos and such.
I'm in for $5 off deal Joey. I think lots will happily pay that. But option to tier down for budget purposes would be cool. Just one old ladies opinion though. Take a poll anytime you have a question Joey. YT gives you those options.
What I'm hoping for is you doing way more lives on Patreon. Josh Wolf (I'm sure you know this comic) I goes on lives using Streamyard. Up t4 people can hit a button and get in line to go live on screen with you/us. You don't have to show your face just audio if you like. Would be great for us to build a tighter fan base. Q&A's etc. It's easy. Josh is technically challenged. So if he can... Please consider Joey 🙏😊💯💞
@@Ruckus333 he has a $5 tier ..
Damn bro rlly needed this rn. Just lost a job abt to go to another today. But I stay focused on my music. Always.
I feel ya brother..

Wow Joey, you're absolutely right on this one.
I really like the buffalo analogy. I can totally relate to homelessness constantly following me around and I have been before.
Maybe instead of clinging to keeping an apartment I will head into the storm and just face it.
Every job that I get usually has a fast expiration date and I can't keep them anyways.
Same bro
None of them are jobs I’d happily do sober. That’s for certain.
Love the videos Joey. Nobody speaks more facts per video than you man
Joey, I’ve had a very safe and secure life at the expense of a lot of creativity which I think can add a dimension that I’m unable to access otherwise. So I’m making plans to travel around the world. I have friends everywhere and I’m going for it.
i love your videos 'we're all being screwed' and 'noone wants to work' . I think it's because your explanation of the unfairness and slavery of the system nails it so much the same as how i feel. Why is our lives being made so hard? why can't we do an easy days work that is apreciated by the society that we are doing the work for?
It seems so obvious that we are simply being kept busy. everyone is cutthroat and backstabing each other... we're being slowly roasted like frogs on a frying pan, squeezed of money to buy food, housing etc. Why can't we get real and deal with the real problems? we're being controlled and manipulated to live shit lives!
Another day another workout listening to Joey and putting in them push ups is my type of stress free time of a day hey hey
my hero was robin hood. lived in the forest . robbing the rich to feed the poor.
I am a fan of pirates too! Aarrrgg!
Any man in tights ain’t no hero!
@@mikewojnar6254it was a different time back then. Tights are the most efficient way to stay warm, while minimizing material use, in a time of scarce resources.
😂
@@mikewojnar6254 LOL !!! Good comment man 👍🏆.
Joe the man keep up the good work bro all the way from South Wales in UK 🇬🇧
Your stories about being homeless are awesome. It's what you have that few of us have any experience with. You get me glued with them, more than philosophy and politics.
Joey the Gypsy wit the Gems 💎
There are some books that I’ve read which brought me great relief and put me back in the right path - same feeling here, this guy speaks right from the heart and it’s infectious.
Here’s to regrettable memories!
p.s. Joey’s Patreon is well worth the $5. That’s very fair for what you get and basically the same price as a cup of mediocre Starbucks coffee.
😂
Joey love your channel man and thx for all you do. I’m a 42 year old construction worker who’s always worked hard day in and day out. It’s never been easy to stay ahead of all these bills and am currently in a one bedroom apartment that cost 1500 hundred a month just for rent itself. It’s only getting worse every year with the cost of living steady climbing and all those bills going up. I finally got a decent raise after switching companies a year back only to see that money disappear for inflation. You always hit the nail smack on the head. I love your outlook on life, value, and morals. Thx Joey
1500 a month is highway robbery for a one bedroom apartment, unless it comes furnished with a hot live in maid with an insatiable lust for coitus.
I assume you live in australia?
look dude i dont comment alot but you got me off my ass and made me get a job thanks dude
This one helped me feel a little better about my situation. I just got laid off from a really really good job and it is super depressing. The stress about worrying about getting the bills paid is worst of all.
Don't let it drive you nuts. Everything happens for a reason. In the long run its probably a blessing in disguise.
I'm sure glad I went through the Misery of working 43 years of my life. Now I'm retired and my house is paid off and I'm glad I never had children in this messed up world, so now I just stay up as late as I want and get up when I want make a mug of coffee watching u-tube and think of what I want to do witch usually is go out fishing or riding my motorcycle or quad or just stay home and tinkering
around the house working on things, I'm not much of a people person there just seems to be to many assholes nowadays. I'm just glad I believe I lived in the best of times in this world like 60s 70s and even the 80s and 90s but this new millennium sucks just glad I don't have to work in it anymore.
_there just seems to be to many assholes nowadays_ Truer words have never been spoken.
Hm. I teresting. If the new melenium sucks there's an aspect to their way of life youre missing and dont understand. Too ignorant to allow change and feel comfortable. But more power too you i guess. You wont be a bother to us when all youre doing is living in your own world thinking the rest are ass holes
You aren’t wrong I feel the same way I was born in 81 and I do believe our best days are behind us and this new generation sucks
Lucky you. I injured my back and all I can do is writhe in agonizing pain all day not getting any help from any doctors or anyone and all I can do is sit alone staring into space in to much pain to concentrate on anything. And that's just one of the major problems I'm buried under. My health is also failing and this is pretty much just a slow, incredibly painful death.
@@blade_warrior_bluestay strong brother you got this
Bro FACTS!! I’m feeling that pull to stop this grind of working for the man and just feel I need to be building my own businesses to take care of my family and also employ others and show them how to go on their own! I need to do something that is a deep passion and not work just bc we need to work type scenario
I know it's controversial to say but my gf believes that the only truly soul wrenching satisfying jobs are the ones that come from your creative side such as being a musician, artist, writer, actor, anything that YOU create. No one grows up to want to be a high level manager at Walmart, a district bank manager, or a quality control exec. These are usually jobs/careers that you stumble on by chance. They may pay lots of money so that you can live in a very nice house and drive nice cars but that's all it is. That's NOT what we're put on earth to do.
Lol 😂. Trying to imagine a young kid with ambitions to be a walmart manager lol.
@@Bodhisattva1111 they do exist.
Thanks for everything man I really appreciate it
Love the stories about being homeless in NYC. Super interesting bro. Haven’t missed one yet.
100% agree. I do the right thing and with honest heart in my life but you have said yourself that the reality of being on the street is so hard that it is almost impossible to stay away from any sort of habits? Liquor etc. I pray to God for it.
You speak so much Wisdom!
17:51 is exactly how I felt before many times over, and how I feel right now, and I am just starting the journey of running into the storm myself. Thanks Joe. I relate absolute. Take care...NataN
Yes,, I feel that I am so disconnected from myself and wonder every day why I feel so shitty. I I feel hollow kinda. No joy.
I bet if you get in the habit of working out you will feel better. Even if it's just a little bit every day. Once you get in the habit you tend to be doing more and more and the next thing you know you're ripped and feeling like a million bucks 🌞. Other thing is you enjoy everything more after you accomplish something like a set of crunches or pushups or something.
@@joeythegypsy Thank you for taking time to respond. I appreciate it. HOpe ur day is a good one.
Thank you
I think what you're doing is honorable and admirable. People who judge and criticize probably secretly admire you. ❤
I just finished "the Alchemist" , excellent book filled with life lessons, I would recommend it to everyone.
Whoever came up with the cliche: "keep showing up and working hard & good things will happen" needs a......a stern talking to. 😂
Love the metaphor of the bulls running into the storm :) a lot of good can come from bad experiences in life, if you care to learn to recognise the opportunities, hop on it! Made me smile to hear you say, you didn’t one so far, to not benefit from the many creativity inspirations. Sorry I could go on n on. Cheers enjoy your weekend too. Regards ✌🏻☘️

I normally work "regular jobs" to save 20k and go away for each winter.. I work construction and then I go away when it's winter weather each year. I'm getting old and tired of it. After finding Jesse I have decided to work and when I get this 20k I'll buy a large van and fix it up to live in. I been watching van Reno on RUclips and you can do amazing stuff .. I'm done with this race. 1 more time to save to 20k and I'm retiring at 40 to the van life. I'll work rarely when I need food, gas , insurance money. That it
Even since I was a small child, I knew in my heart of hearts that I didn't want a "normal job". As I grew up, society keep terrorizing me and so I started to fear. Even as young as 8 years old, I remember my teachers saying "Get good grades or you'll end up digging through trash". At some point, that fear, and the terror they inflict upon you starts to take hold, and you start being separated from yourself. I spent so many years of my life terrified and separated from my own emotions and desires. I felt so numb and disconnected. I'm still trying to heal and reconnect with myself.
i watch u cuz u a real one - peace
12:41 Wise Words!
Very.
Things that happen in life that are hard to deal with mentally are wayyyyyy easier if you aren't worried about money also. Get more money but never up the lifestyle, live a basic lifestyle and you won't have to make as much money to be well off and handle blows easier that come in life.
dude i really needed this, feelin this way, i cant work a normal 9-5 every damn day, i just got a weeks worth of contracting doing siding so thats good n fine but i cant do this shit everyday for years on end.
Read the alchemist
@@joeythegypsy joey are you a hermetic? You transmute and use alot of hermetic parables
Your an artist ! The world is your oyster! I am basically in your boat an artist painter my self. The world needs us and because we swim up stream we are noticed! Keep strong. Love your stuff. Upstate NY. Mark M
Needed to hear this today Joey! Now just need to take the steps to get to where I need to be! ❤
These videos speak to me and so many of us! I love this channel.
I’m 30 and I’m adopting this attitude. Spent my 20s trying to do the “right thing” and everything has gone to shit. I’m done blaming myself and acting like there’s something more I could be doing. It’s true, I can’t control the economy or anything. So I just want to do what I want now.. even if I’m broke forever.
I'm getting comfortable with being homeless now, and I must say: It's amazing and freeing to be able to get resources from all around you. I'm moving towards making a homestead. No rent, no property taxes or any nonsense like that.
I also want to say: Listen to people. Be approachable and listen to people's stories (lots of people have stuff to say)
Things have been good for me while I've been doing this
I dislike my job with the furious heat of one thousand suns.
I know the feeling 😂😂
Same
Good thing Joey uses his powers for good because (no joke) this guy could start a cult. He speaks truth.
I'd join! 😂
I feel exactly what you're talking about. Glad I'm not the only one with similar views. Why waste your one life
Totally, trying to actively get out of my 9-5. Got my side business running and have a goal for myself to have that in a place where I am working for myself full time in the next 3-5 years.
Joey you should get to Austin, TX and get back into stand up. Heard the comedy scene there is blowing up because of Rogans new club...
Rogans a sellout,forget that
@@l.t.-yb8zu just because someone is successful does not mean they are a sellout...
Lovin' your videos brother. Some real talk. 💯
Joey bro , it sounds like you’re on the side of a highway. Few Vids ago I heard a train go past the car, Harley , leaf blower. Man you love the commotion
i almost to that point. i do construction and have experience and talent and these guys wanna pay nothing while asking for me to do electrical and plumbing. i do very little anymore cus im having alot of issues, mental and physical
Contractors like this are all bad they wanna save money having us do plumbing and electrical for Pennie’s while they charge and arm and a leg cus they’re licensed. Yup if you do construction go commercial or union. Not residential. Look for legit organizations.
I love your videos man, it truly helps me keep perspective on my life and work things out,nobodies perfect, i don't like working mainly because it takes up so much of my time and pays me so little in return, takes me away from my family and usually leaves me with very little in return, I've chosen to do it my own way, if i can survive i can survive, i pay for everything in my life and seem to be able to keep it rolling by locally ubering people i know who need rides and charging them per ride and also selling my coins and bullion locally to people who email me asking for it., so now i constantly have opportunity and money coming in each month regardless, now i know my situation wont work for everyone, and it takes time to even buildup enough people each month who don't have cars and are willing to pay you for each ride, that's been the 2 things keeping me away from my job and happy
The world is so insanely diverse. So many different stories and lives. All religions and worldviews are kind of true in an interesting way.
If we had Arizona or Florida type weather here in Europe I’d be homeless any day
And I’d be a classy well upkeep homeless guy
You a smart man
I'd love to see you do more street wisdom, street smart insights. Like how do you deal with pick pockets etc etc
This is a good one Joey!
I feel I have talents as a comedian, but im a slave to a full-time job ☹️
have a good day joey
I enjoy your videos very much.
Ive been feeling like shit these last few months. Ive been working my job, but Ive been unsatisfied and unmotivated. Ive seen therapists, been perscribed pills, bought "remedies" from online, searching for the piece to the puzzle thats going to get me right, and none of it works. This right here though, man, this really helped put everything into perspective, and I feel like shit will get a lot better soon. Also, Ive been wanting to quit my job for a while to pursue my dream, but everyone around me tells me its crazy and not to do it, but I need to go with my heart, and I'll probably be doing that soon as well.
keep up the great videos thanks to u all i
appreciate ya
Great vid! Depends on the job. Nice philosophy.
ur a cool dude!
Long story short, don’t be afraid to follow your dreams! But even more important don’t settle always have goals life is what you make it. Man I hate the idea of you on the streets or living in a Ford Crown Vic. But fuck that shit want more out of life. You say your happy, got my doubts bro. But Godspeed to you!
Hey man I know how you feel about construction I have taken a break for the last couple months And now I have energy to do what I’m actually passionate about lifting weights and bodybuilding
My back broke
Bulging disc 3 months ago couldn’t work
the mic is fixed, nice one ! :)
Great video! 💯
I honestly don’t mind working 8-10 hour days but anything over 10 I’ll quit lol
There’s a lot of truth in what this man is saying. Can tell he has some wisdom and some golden nuggets to share. This video is one of them. Subbed a while ago. Keep em’ comin’..
Great video joey can’t wait for the next Patreon video
You use the term slavery but isn't serfdom more accurate? We're basically 17th century Russian serfs. Better fed and better clothed but we don't own property and are stuck paying rent for our entire lives.
Can confirm, satisfied with patreon :) peace.
Well said! 👍🏻
I do know what you mean!
It's kind of sad that our society has to diminish to the point of homelessness being a viable solution that we are such slaves in this world that homelessness seems like a way to prosper obviously it has attracted enough people for you to make a good side hustle or primary hustle however you want to look at it it's captivated me enough to watch your videos on the regular you're an interesting dude I was where you were at 15 years ago I had been fired from my job after turning myself inside out for them in the corporate finance world and I said God damn it I'll die trying or I will make something as an artist or self-employed or something didn't really know what I was going to do but fifteen years later I own my own woodworking business I have sawmills and it all started with me chainsaw carving a $400 investment and sculpting scrap wood and selling it at any little place I could got me to the point where now I'm supporting a wife and three kids however be careful when you turn that side hustle creative endeavor into something that is a business 15 years later you might find yourself in my position in watching gypsy Joey and wishing I didn't have any major responsibilities because anytime you have success it becomes another shackle at 42 saying damn that's all I could have done so I get your point when you say that you've done exactly what you had to do wherever God put you cuz I'm in that same place and I understand just be careful when you start making money again that you don't become shackled in a new way I'm at a point now where I'm looking at becoming a tattoo artist to escape the shackles of success that I've created the only challenges I have kids that are in elementary school and Junior high that I have to continue to support for at least another eight years
Interesting. Yea in a way I feel like you just got to follow your heart even if it doesn't make sense. BUT I think you're in a pretty good position in the big scheme of things. But yea you got to follow your heart.
I am 40 years old on meds and I was x carpenter and server for 20 years I made 70 dollars pan handling if I had to do it again and again I will ...meds food and beer cost money...I suffer lots mental illness and never knew it till now..
You got to do what you got to do. God is with you brother. Sooner or later you'll be back on top. Nothing lasts forever 🍀
My friend you are ripped!!
The key word is grateful. Nothing means anything if we're not grateful for everything and knowing who allowed us this knowledge of greatness Christ is real.
Hey Mr Joey . Have a good day man. I think about a lot what you say man every day I try and take a little of what you say and imply it in my everyday living . Start giving a care less about working a regular ass job .
I know exactly what your saying dude. I am 42 and I work part time. My beautiful mom left me her condo and jobs are an absolute joke. The entire culture is fake.
It looks like you have a curtain to slide shut to use for privacy , I used to have that but then I removed it and instead I got some cardboard from work and cut it to size to fit in my windows as window covers , one side of the card board I painted gloss black so it just looks like my windows are tinted.
I leave all the back Windows covered and then when I pull into my parking spot I only have to install 2 side window covers and then I install a windshield screen that is black on one side and shiney silver on the other , I keep the black side out and my car just looks like it's all tinted windows , worked out good.
Also cut small notches in the cardboard so I can use my fingers to remove the covers when needed
While I appreciate everything you have to say, I think it is a slippery slope when you're talking to the masses about opinions when it comes to mental health.
People who are stable enough to understand what you're saying get it, but there are a whole lot of people suffering with their mental health who are going to hear what you're saying and think that that is what they need to do.
And truly sick people who stop their meds for these reasons, are super dangerous.
I’m honestly not trying to generalize, but I believe that’s the crux of what he’s speaking on. The society you speak of has millions of people in prison, thousands commit suicide every year, and most need to be medicated, insured, and in debt just to barely survive. The crimes and evils are countless and continue to grow, despite restrictions and regulation. This is a society where a majority of families and relationships fail, and a growing number are isolated. This is a failing society; modern society is the cause of mental health issues, and thus can not cure them. I’m sure you mean well, but the answer isn’t more institutional control, indoctrination, censorship, or forced medical treatment. History shows these governments collapse with a bang or a whimper. Sovereignty, love and healing are risks; or the safety of ignorance to the inevitable.
Great, Great Advice Sir. I subscribed and I never subscribe to Vids. I want to use my talents now because I hate my life now as I work jobs I absolutely Hate! I feel Exactly the same as you. I'm always one sick day away from homelessness and I'm done, I don't care anymore!
No responsibilities
Sounds like going out on the weekends and getting wasted was your problem. Working for an industry or a company you like that pays great and gives you lots of bonuses and vacation isn't so bad. Especially when you're not getting bombed every weekend.
Get off the drugs and life gets a lot easier.
Having healthcare is a bonus too.
I also recommend to people to not have kids. They cost a fortune in time and money. Not worth it.
So you think i would have been happier sitting in the apartment on the weekends while everyone i like being around was out partying? I don't think that would have solved it. My main issue was that I felt like I was wasting a lot of talent God gave me because I was too focused on paying bills. But everyone is different. What works for me won't work for others and what works for them won't work for me.
@@joeythegypsy I think we both got caught in the drug trap. We could have made better choices in that regard.
@@CBT5777 sobriety can be a sin sometimes
@@CBT5777 Ask anyone that has kids what they're most proud of... 99% will say their kids. Once your 65 years old and everyone else is dead, you'll wish you had kids. That was some bad advice you gave out.
@@jamesf4405 I don't have children. I'm strong enough to take care of myself. I don't want to burden anyone with the curse of existence. I won't force someone to work and struggle their whole life just to make kids of their own, so 'they' won't be lonely when 'they' get old. It's unethical. life for most on this planet suffers greatly in horrible misery. Do you have any idea how much pain the human body can suffer? I've suffered it. Were all inside organic torture chambers. I won't bring a child into this hell.
Impregnating a woman is also a gamble most men shouldn't take. I learned that from my father. I gave out outstanding advice. People should learn to take care of themselves and not rely on others.
Living on the street conect you to earth you ground and get the negative energy out of you and you conect with real people
I named my phone , Joey 😅!. I like his rants , sometimes.
Joey I'm a ole bastard that always relied in luck believe me it didn't let me down your philosophy of life is correct sir I also have lived it use the force and create your good carma
Just got fired today so I guess I got a head start man 😊
Watched the homeless story’s I know why I’m proud of u joey
Joey, one thing about a regular job is time passes & all of a sudden you're 62 & want to take it easy. I retired early @62 & I get 1500$ per month. Which is not bad if everything is pd off. The yrs pass quickly....
That’s not much at all bro. Not with prices today. Even if your place is paid off you’ll still owe property taxes. Buying food clothing etc. Ya that’s like half of what you need and should be entitled to.
Because they don't want me
There are definitely chemical imbalance that’s been proven, but I don’t always agree with drugs, legal or illegal as the answer.
