9-5 jobs are just so dam boring. The days are so long, but the years fly by.
Couldt have been said better
Like school but worse... No thanks (unless I absolutely love it 😂)
@@skb282 I worked at the same company for 10 years coming this spring. Thing is I have a good boss so I guess it makes a difference. But still I can't stand going through rush hour traffic every morning to work and when I'm there all I want to do is pound my fists on the table.
young 95... Only to be 65 and say I'm retired! What's left? Sad...
If it were only the boredom...if the compensation were great, then I could somehow (for a time!) deal with that (till I had enough money to leave)...but frankly: Compensation sucks, too (ok: I am in re-training currently, so yeah I earn less than most other people - still, even if you trippled my earnings (and that's about what normal people working full time make in Germany at entry level), I would still have barely any money left at the end of the month if I had to pay rent...luckily I don't have to ATM!))
I've had a 9-5 job for two years now. It's been a great way to survive and pay the bills, but I've been feeling as if my soul is slowly being sucked out. I come home and have no energy to do anything besides be a couch potato. Its a bit sad.
one could recommend therapy or maybe Another job with shorter week if you feel that way no job is Worth keeping when you're suffering
Do you have a choice? The tough job market, high cost of living, and employers wanting you to have years of experience with an olympic medal and super powers
I work a 1am too 9pm job get payed 169
@Roshea 24 hours
Find part time . Full time will fuck you up
I’ve had a side hustle for years and I recently was so stressed out by management that I bought a bottle of whiskey at lunchtime to cope with it. While drinking it, I realized how f’d up that was and went back to the office, gathered my belongings and walked out. Life is too short to be wasted as an easily replaceable cog in someone else’s money making machine. Having to work 80/hrs a week with no OT pay as a software developer to meet deadlines was stupid when I can easily earn just as much working for myself.
Well done Paul.
I hope life is going better for you.
That a slavery
That was a good medicinal bottle ! And indeed: 80 hours is a total waste of time
my mental health is deteriorating and I've only been working full time for 6 months :')
imagine 30 to 35 years working full time??! i know i cant do that i am not capable mentally and physically its slavery its wrong i am out!
I totally understand about the mental health deteriorating. I feel exactly the same. I've wrote my notice to leave and it's sitting on the PC ready to print out. Just worried about not having a regular income but i think i will have to be brave and hand it in as i know it's making me sick.
My too, im feeling like shiit. Its like im dying inside. But i will quit my job. Peace
If you got mental or trauma dont go to work it will damage you in later year

Congrats beats working in a shit hole
Lmao

Needed to hear this this morning. "Most people, they live for the weekend, they are always looking forward to Friday when they get off work and then Sunday nights are a dread fest because you're like 'Ugh tomorrow Monday I gotta go back to work, that sucks""I would much rather enjoy everyday like it was a Friday" Love the channel man!
I agree with you completely.
What if your poor and gotta work to live freely?
Yes. Almost everyone I know says they hate Sunday nights. You look at the clock thinking oh no, time to go to bed soon...tomorrow is Monday.
9 to 5 sucks, thats why I work 8 to 4
😂🤙

Good shit
used to do 0730 - 1600 Mon - Thursday 0730-1230 Friday. That was pretty sweet two and a half day weekend.
Lucky you, i work 8-5:30 😂😭
ADZ01982 i do 4 tens from 7 to 5:30. Shift rotates but i always get a three day weekend
Ive also become jaded and met a lot of snakes at work. I work best alone!!
Divine Freedom i feel you people really want to bring you down
Oh god I have experienced some vile people at work. As co- workers,
AR Reeves Yas good mindset girl! I'm so shocked that so many adults say negative things about being an entrepreneur. I guess those are the 9-5 people.
Yes!
@@darrellpadilla4085 Yep...coworkers who are annoying/bullies. There's one on at least every job.
Jobs = modern day slavery
Exactly, but most people only think about the risks of quitting, not the risks of staying in their job.

just take a part-time job and spend the rest of your day doing your own things.
If only mortgages, gas, electricity, council tax etc could be paid off with a part time job just by working two-three days a week, I think everybody would do that.
that's my plan but i'll never afford to buy/rent a house, have a family down the line.
@@Metal197 I wish and so true
@@ToniVA yes you will do other things to make money with you in charge.
Let's be clear...70% of people don't have a thousand dollars in savings because they have full time jobs. They don't have a thousand dollars in savings because of what they spend their hard earned money on.
Though school does not teach you how to save and things nonessential. So you end up splurging. Its learning every day how to build multiple sources of income. Why a lot of older adults become homeless. They think time is stagment. The universe consistently changes.
Victor Leal but if you choose commerce as one of your subjects in high school, then commerce can teach you the importance of budgeting and how to budget and save money
There is an old saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned". Most people with full time jobs and are still broke is because they live beyond their means. Not everyone can build passive income online or reoccurring revenue streams. But monetizing time can be just as valuable. For example, instead of buying a $800 phone, invest in a mobile programming course. Not everyone is geared for entrepreneurship and the best ones create jobs for thousands and not just themselves. It takes all kinds to make the world go around.
The problem is people hate their jobs and they spend to feel better...its a stupid system.
Gordon Lou bullshit advice you just gave no matter what you do in REAL LIFE no matter what you “BUDGET OR SAVE “ it is a losing game , what you don’t want to do is live within your means on some bullshit budget that does not equate to inflation or deflation or what is happening in real life like when the wheel falls of your car unexpectedly !!! If that’s all University’s are teaching about commerce it’s no wonder this country is run by morons who are university educated , you know what is better advice , take any spare money invest it in to shares or stocks and get returns on your investments via dividends or if that stock increases , look at Apple stocks beginning of this year if you bought those stocks when they crashed say $40,000 worth in three weeks if you sold them they would have increased to $13,000 making 13 grand in three weeks on top of your $40 grand that means you had $40 grand and you would have had $53 grand after 3 weeks . Now get this you idiots buy yourselves college degrees that may not give you a job for around $40,000 grand ??? I mean why fucking bother you are better to just Invest the money in something you actually know you will get returns on , spending money on tuition fees at University’s is the biggest waste of money on this planet , budgeting and saving money is for idiots , you need to think bigger than that , borrow money , invest money etc live beyond your means !!! Fuck your education system is garbage !!
I'm 35 and dont have a whole lot to show for my corporate job I've had for the last 6 years. I dont think I've ever enjoyed any work I've ever done. I'm over it and need to find a way out of the 8 to 5 grind. I want more time with my family and hobbies.
I felt the same as you and now I've learned how to day-trade (Forex/Cryptos) just by watching a bunch of YT videos. Best decision ever!
That's what work does to you.
I hope your life is happier now.
Stay strong and stay blessed.
I couldn't have said it any better myself. I hated every moment of the 9-5 life. I work for myself now. I was working at a prison. That job was hell on earth. I took the job at 23. Always wanted to work in law enforcement, but I quickly realize it wasn't what i thought it would be. No unity, backstabbing, constantly needing to prove yourself to every other officer that walks in. Worked there for 2 years, until I got fired a year ago. Bunch of corrupted bitter jerks decided to gang up on me just because i wasn't in their clique lol.
I didn't even bother fighting for my job. Heck. I could have won my job back... But I didn't care. My whole mindset was like this "oh god please just hurry up and fire me so i can collect unemployment". After I got canned, I spent a month in Shenzhen, China. And then i started a business 4 months after I got back to the U.S. money is better, I have a piece of mind, I have some actual freedom. I have i own a semi truck and i hual things as a contractor. When i work... I'm busy for a month straight...but I take 2-4 weeks off at a time when I'm ready to hang up the keys. I can treat every day as if it's a friday. Life is sweet right now
how did u get a semi truck
gibememoni I got it from a dealership. It's the same way on how you can get a regular car from dealerships. You would be surprised at how much you can make just by hualing shit.
I would love to do that but i don't think semis are cheap lol and I'd need a CDL A
gibememoni heck no. Semi trucks are expensive as hell. The newer ones cost the price of a house! I bought an old 2007 model for $13k, and i put in $15k worth of repairs and stuff. But other then that, the money is great. And yes you need a CDL class-A and you will most likely have to quit your just to finish the month long course. It's a tough job when you are starting out. What do you do?
hospital office work, i hate it. Want to be self employed and work on my own schedule and not inside what feels like a prison.
Having to ask for days off& "hope" it gets approved, dealing with lazy coworkers, gossip, etc. I don't miss ANY of that 😎
PREACH AND KEEP ON PREACHING!
Preach!
Preach it . That is truth to the core.
At my last paid position, I felt like I was an island. Now I'm an unemployed EMT. I no longer see people as people but rather, patients looking for a place to happen.
I'm so glad someone is calling out what's in my head all the time. Formal education is NOT THE ONLY THING TO DO
Good thing I'm not planning on having kids
SAME
dude lets be friends its like we agree on everything!
Kids should be the reason you will become wealthy and not the reason for not being wealthy.
I’m thankful I don’t have kids
Exacttly life is so much easier without kids one of my wirst fear is child support then you become a literal slave
Jordan, I know this feeling VERY VERY well. I felt it TODAY. once you discover entrepreneurship and the possibility of making money in other ways, you almost cant even tolerate a normal job anymore. I still have a job because my product hasn't started selling yet. But once I make 4 to 6k a month profit. I am quitting ASAP.
Secondly. having a 9 to 5 job and saving money is almost impossible for most people. most people adapt their lifestyle to their paycheck, and they end up spending their entire salary on things they think their salary affords them. People are not usually taught to save money. I definitely wasn't. Hence most people are slaves to their jobs.
Mike Jay making 4k+ a month is too comfortable. Go over 2k+ and quit. It may be too comfortable for you.
if i make 2k and quit i'll have very little money to start more products. my living expenses are around $2200.
also keep in mind, no job = no health insurance.
Mike Jay I agree with you I'm starting this in January but still keeping my job on until I see a regular income over 6 months but how liberating to be able to work from anywhere in the world ..and not have someone else in charge of your income and life ....this guy is spot on ..life should be for living and too many pple ate stuck in the rat trap and just behave like zombies ..existing but not living !!
The system is designed to make you spend as much as possible as with marketing campaigns and peer pressure constantly bombarding you to buy certain products to live a certain lifestyle so you can be "fullfilled". Along with 6-7% inflation a year with pretty much no interest for keeping your money in the bank, you're forced to spend or invest your money, which can be risky as if your investment crashes you can lose all your savings but if you keep it in the bank your money will have 1/3 of the buying power in 20 years.
So the safest way to accumulate wealth would be to sign a mortgage or a 'death contract" where you will have to work 20-40 years to pay off a house that you don't really own anyways. And even that is getting increasingly harder to do as a millennial with the skyrocketing housing prices.
Have you quit your job yet?
I used to have a job in the military-industrial complex that I was laid off from, with a boss named Les Boring. LOL, not kidding. My wife and I were artists and she said, why don't you get pen and ink commissions by going door to door? With the prospect of "not boring" before me I began knocking on doors in wealthy neighborhoods of Baltimore & vicinity with my portfolio in hand. I'd look at the type of curtains they had in the windows. My first commission was for $350. and after 10 or so years of freedom roaming the countryside, I ended up getting $2500 per commission, still just the avg price of an architect's rendering but not bad. I developed my own sales system. Doing the art in my basement studio and being out of doors was what I loved, while I dreaded the sales until I got warmed up, then it was fun. I found a niche and worked it.
Entrepreneurship is *life* seriously, I love it when the old people at my gym look so confused when my 20 something self walks into the gym on a Monday morning.
Jobs are not safe or stable in this generation like the previous. Theres too many opportunities to be dedicated to being a Sears manager for 40 years. Those days are over...statistics also show a majority of ppl only stay at a job between 1-3 years on average before either quitting or getting fired. Almost no job last long enough to he stable, working for yourself is the safest option these days
Jenny lee whatever is needed ... a daycare , tax service , resume service , drop shipping , tutoring , flipping items buy low sell high
PREACH AND KEEP PREACHING!
V77 Scorpio fuckin facts
Myself doesn't pay me. . .
soooo True
I don't care how long it is or if it's 9-5... If they have a toxic workplace I'm out..
9 to 5 just takes the soul out of you. I am working for 16 months after graduation. I can't even remember a single memorable moment while I am in job. I am gonna quit after this month.
You got that right.
What does that say when America is the richest in the world? And 7-10 people don't have 1000 dollars .....? To me that's scarry
1% of the people owns 50% of all the wealth in the world...
infectionsman 1%=rothschilds
Are you telling me that the Rothschilds are 1 percent of world population? Haha i think you meant that the 1% are the "Rothschild's cronies"
If you're 17 trillion dollars in debt are you really rich?
1% in the US, is just over 365,000 a year before taxes. Top 10% is 101,000
I left for the same reason. I had great income, but a broken soul. I am healing for 2 years now and still have no stable income, due to my psychological issues I've got after that 9-5 job. I hope one day I will feel safe and happy by doing things I love and having good money from it. Have faith and all will work out.
job - just over broke
The gut punch!
Ever since I was a kid, I never wanted a 9-5 job. I just hated the idea of the monoteny of it and sitting behind a computer all day. I want to experience the world now, when I can! One thing that scared the hell out of me is a couple months ago, my parents were talking about the jobs they wanted to get after they're retired.... I couldn't believe it. Like they basically plan to never stop working. I think it's because they're afraid they'll get bored (which is understandable), but still.
But having the option to CHOOSE to work or not is the beauty of it. A lot of retired people do pick up simple enjoyable jobs to keep them busy. Not because they have to, but because they want to
Yeah, very true.
Nobody works 9 to 5. It's 6 to 5 or 6pm to 2am.
Steve Walther start a business and it turns into 3am-9pm
Steve Walthery dad works 8 to 5
I 100% agree! the reason why I don't want to have a regular 9 to5 is simply because I hate working for other people I would love to have the freedom to do what I please when I want to and enjoy my family more. I'm not a person who loves money however I recognize money as a tool that we need to live the life that we desire. What I do love is my freedom........and it truly is priceless
All these videos about the sky is falling, but none that actually says how to weather the storm. "Find multiple streams of income". No kidding genius. I could think of a few, like buying a bubblegum machine or starting a b2b franchise. Now, Since you're the million dollar guy, any ideas?
Now, before someone comes on here and insult me for depending on the OP to give me an idea, I don't actually expect him to tell me exactly what to do. It's just that, they all say the same thing. "Uhh... I quit my job and started a business. You should too. This is why. The end".
Out of all of these, 'your job is slavery' videos, only one ever mentioned just how they got started. I don't need it for myself, as I already have a plan. I almost can't blame the OP. When my plan works, I probably would be reluctant on just giving it out myself.
However, you won't find me on here saying the obvious, unless I at least have a list of solutions on where to get started.
Lincoln Heights Exactly all the “quit the 9-5” videos are vague with no specific advice.Dont people realize if you run a business it takes a lot of time and a lot of work.They will be working a lot more and it’s more stress than a 9-5.
They won’t be able to “work when I feel like it” they’ll become slaves to there own business.
Also it will become monotonous after a while,I mean say a painter or plumber,every day they paint and plumb that’s it.
Not as easy as people think
Lincoln Heights the first step is to understand the problem. Second step is to get really really mad. Third is to seek the knowledge-don't expect it to fall on your lap. Put in effort to find the solution.
Clearly he makes his money by selling shit on amazon, and making youtube videos that are pretty much advertisements to buy his product (the course he links in the description). Personally I make my money by selling stuff (cough cough), selling things on Ebay, and doing odd jobs. Other than that, just spending my money responsibly so I can reinvest it in products to sell.
Am I rich? No. Will I ever be rich? It will by chance at best. But damn, I haven't had a boss since February.
You want him to wipe your ass too? There are two rules to success: 1) Never tell anyone everything you know.
D-rex I gave up trying to educate people on money because it’s a waste of my time and the people being taught usually too stupid to get it
I agree that having one income stream is not a good thing. The key is to use your salary to save and to build businesses on the side
I'm fucking miserable. Wake up at four am, get dressed and force eat, travel an hour in commute, work a job that is meh but I get pay check, hour and a half commute back because of traffic, too tired to do my hobbies so I sleep. Repeat.
Fuck.
really good video, iv recently started an ecommerce bussiness on ebay and its doing okay. im 19 and work a bs 9-5 job by the time i get home and settle down i have 2 hours to myself! once i have enough savings im going to take a week off work to try and start a business selling on amazon. thats the goal! iv only been working a year and its so taxing mentally and physically. thanks for the videos im so glad i came across this channel.
Epic goal. get it going! :)
I quit my job and my Dad voiced his extreme disappointment. 3 years later he quit his 150,000 a year 9-5 to come work in my business. The right time to quit never comes at a good time and most people will disapprove but you just have to do what you know you want in life.
That 70% stat is crazy. My employees have some nice shit but if they miss that paycheck they would go into panic mode.
KFletcher me and you both know having a buisness you have no time for anything so you are more of a slave than anyone !! You probably sleep 4 hours a night if you are lucky and get bombarded with bullshit , you took the job you had to go into buisness so you work more and more hours for money , I doubt you are happy at all , if you want to know what the mega -rich do they buy companies that they don’t have to work in or at and they invest in shares/stocks , they set up trusts to minimise taxes and they invest in real estate to get returns , you realise the part you chose is just to quit your job to take on a bigger job and I know the grass is not greener there I have been there myself
My father treats me the same way. Boy, how stubborn. If I had a jawbone, I'd hit him with it.
I'm tired of retail. It's destroying my mental health. 🥺
I’m in retail right now hahahahah it sucks and I only been her about a week
Depends on the role.9-5 is just a shift and no matter how boring your job is never underestimate the luxury of getting home each night safe and not destroying your body with crazy shifts.
Haha I have a 5-1 job and it feels amazing to wake up early and get off early in the afternoon
That's how I like to work too! Its the best
@@millionaire-millennial Well now it's a 5-3 job but still is fun
I find that most people who hate 9 to 5 jobs are people who invest everything into them and their entire identity is wrapped up in the company. Go to work, do your job, and go home and enjoy the things you enjoy. Its that simple. Not rocket science.
As I write this people all over the U.S.A. just celebrated the 4th of July, their "independence" when in reality they wake up monday morning, pop some prescription med, and drag themselves through their meaningless existence. Break free. Doing that for years gave me mental issues too.
yourcreativestrength
Only people with normal 9-5 jobs.
I love it, very well said, I have taken that step earlier this year brother, and I can tell you the opportunities haven't stopped coming!
Or you can work a regular job and still have a means to start a small business on the side
that's the goal!
Millionaire Millennial honest answer from you, but to do amazon fba wholesale through us vendors, what would be a good amount to start off with to buy product and how long to really quit? 3 months?
Kenneth Bailon that's exactly what he's saying if u were listening instead of trying to be a smartass 😁
Best comment right here. Go to college and get the job... STEM job... At 26 I am in the top 1% of the world income earners because of my college degree. I have no debt and waaaaay more than $1k in my bank. I could not work for 1-2 years and be fine. However with that being said. The extra cash in my bank account is allowing me to diversify my income stream even more. I have 5 total income streams right now.
I mean top 1% in the world is like $35,000 salary. You could do that working hourly at target. and yes, STEM is awesome. really the only reason to go to college, imo. Good job on the diversification as well :)
10000000% AGREE with EVERYTHING you’ve said🙌🏻 Work smart not hard. I got kicked out of college for having severe anxiety so I knew from that moment on that a regular 9-5 was not for me. Love your content Jordan💙
I don’t get people saying 9-5 is soul crushing drudgery and they want to run there own business,that will take up way more time,it’s more stress and no guarantee of a decent income.
I mean if you can’t handle 35 hours work a week then you’ll never handle running a business!!
9-5 is a fckn doddle!!
gerry o sullivan no risk no reward.
Exactly. Life is hard work no matter which way you fuckin go. Most of these saps want an easy way to make mula. Yet they still say, "Idk what to do but I want to be unique." Umm that non-direction mindset is widely held by most millenials. Nothing unique about that at all. Just digging graves for themselves... They'll see when they're old and need healthcare that they can't afford.
Gerry. It's not the hours man. It's working doing something you hate for a boss you hate and not getting paid what you deserve with the fear of being fired at any moment for anything.
Green Envy well I dunno about the US but you can’t get fired at any moment in Europe,the are procedures the employer had to go through,we have workers rights over here
gerry o sullivan oh boy, you just stepped on a landmine
Everything in this video was %100 true to how I feel. I've been Working the first 9-5 I've ever had since December 7, 2016 and at this point July 29 2017 - I've got all the symptoms described. I'm at 24 and I'll be 25 in October. Don't know where to start with entrepreneurship, fearful of having no income from job and knowing if I stay life won't get much better and the risk of a layout will end me overnight. I've got to figure out entrepreneurial lifestyle it's a must.
Hey I am 24 now, how is your life going? Did you pursue entrepreneurship?
Working full time sucks! Also owning/running your own business also sucks. I used to work 7am-6pm..... total torture. I escaped by learning how to manage money in the capital markets. It does take time, I still worked full time for 20 years before escaping. Learn the capital investment markets and how to invest from home. Takes time but if you learn it, it can be done.
My time is worth something. My employers are going to find out the value of this. I feel like a volunteer. Lots of employers exploit people. It's not the same USA I grew up in.
Nice video, it's good you can find something that makes you happy.
***WARNING: MY OPINION BELOW***
I'm someone who is working a job that doesn't have consistent hours or any benefits, so this is just my perspective.
I would LOVE to have a 9-5 job.
1. Getting laid off is something that can happen anywhere, to anyone, even someone working in fast food.
2. Not having any savings isn't related to having a 9-5 job, it's a personal issue. Even someone working in fast food can save money, get a roommate or two, downgrade your phone plan, cut cable, cut internet (use libraries, free internet in restaurants, even some city parks), turn off lights, don't run the heat/air over/under a certain temperature, cook in big batches, don't eat out, don't make car payments, work 2 or 3 jobs, etc.
3. Not being in a position to try anything new is also a personal issue. Who says you have to try something new at work? Do what you want when you're at home. If you have a year's worth of expenses saved up and you want to quit your job and start a business, there is no one stopping you but you.
4. I don't really get this point, if you have a 9-5 job you can easily get 1 or 2 more income streams in your free time. Again you are just setting arbitrary limits on yourself.
5. Your last point makes me laugh a bit. Personally, going to work everyday at the same time for 30+ years sounds wonderful to me. Different strokes for different folks I guess, personally I can't get anything done if I don't have structure in my life, which is why I'm struggling so much now. I'm at a job where the hours vary daily so I never know when I will have a day off to run errands or relax.
I think it's not the job's problem if people live for the weekend, it's the person's attitude. Currently my job is very mundane, however I always come to work with a smile and am grateful for a paycheck so I'm not starving on the streets. A lot of people at my job complain all day, and they are happy for their weekend and grumpy when they come back. To me, this just makes the job worse for everybody because they are making it a negative atmosphere and bringing everyone down. That's why I always have a smile and never complain at work, or even at home very much for that matter.
I have 4 rules I live by:
1. Treat others the way you would like to be treated.
2. Don't complain unless you have a solution.
3. Be grateful for what you have.
4. See the positive in every situation.
Your the man brother I run my own trucking company for 5 years now have 7 kids and married I started with $1200 and made it work. I feel people are just scared and the only way to free yourself is just going for it and make it work no matter what. Working for yourself is awesome n scary but I have something to give my kids when it's all said and done. No 9-5 can do that !!
Talk about it!
5 kids though
I’m 39. I only figured this out at 37. Been a good two years of retirement tho!
I definitely had to quit my daycare business for my mental health. Best thing I have done and I don't feel trapped at my house all the time with kids I didn't like. Watching all your videos from start to finish and I'll shortly be putting my first customs private label order to amazon! I'm super excited to keep this up while finally getting the info I've been looking for from you! THANK YOU
I spent my entire life going to school and university to end up with a degree that I almost died for, to work in a field where everyone is a narcissist. Learning a new skill is tempting, but time and money consuming and I am so done with learning. I decided to make the leap to become a writer. This way I can still implement what I learned at uni, while still working from home.
I would guess that 7/10 have less that $1000 and 75% of that are in debt.100s of videos rehashing how people just need to have multiple income streams and next to none that show exactly what to do to get the money. Say, well, you just have to have a successful youtube video stream doesn't help at all.
I know, it's really annoying. And I speak as someone with a good job and investment income. It came with time, luck, location, timing, and hard work, but not only hard work.
I used to have 7am to 8pm job. with only Sunday off. of course I was saving 90% of salary, heavily investing in business, stock markets, real estate and myself. so now I just travel and do what I always wanted to do.
Bro you give me chills when you talk. You couldn't have said it any better about the education system. I just want to let you know I started watching your videos last week sometime and I already made about 100$ on ebay just like you showed us! Its not even fucking two weeks and im already making money. Im going to start selling on amazon as well and who knows the possibilities to this! In addition before I found you. I had a 40 hour a week job and everyone is telling me im doing the right thing but fuck did I hate that crap. I thought to myself, towards the end of My 9-5 job, there has to be something more to this than what everyone thinks and my friend you sure have shown me what i've been looking for all these months. Good thing im only 20 Years of age and I have a shit load of years left to be working towards my goals now! Thanks to you !
Totally agree man, also some jobs lo try to mess with your head so you become a better worker/slave and it’s pretty nasty for people who are more vulnerable
A obstacle I find very hard to, actually a few obstacles, is to vision,plan and organize then execute. I'm so overloaded with information that I'm trying to be perfect and not enough aaction.Ive been antisocial for a long time and nnotice my communication skills and sales are iffy.anyways I'm glad I subscribed to your channel
Ever Zamora what you working on?
Most jobs today aren't 9 to 5 anymore. They are more like half day jobs because people working 12 hours on salary. with no overtime pay. Since I graduated with 0 debt and live way below my budget, I manage to save up larger savings. Now I'm using that to invest in e-commerce business. Hope I can break free from the 9 to 5.
my engineering friend is working until like 2a.m. on salary. no O.T. Real tough stuff tbh
Dreaded 9 - 5 Disease! If you're living for the weekend that is such a lost feeling! Trust me I know, been living with this disease myself for a while! Trying to find the cure everyday!
I wish more people would understand these reasons, especially that last one, because that to me is also the main reason why I hate regular day jobs. When you realise that the monotony of everyday life leaves you with virtually no future and you become stuck in an endless cycle of just earning enough to survive just so that you can continue going to work to earn just enough to survive. I get a sense that most people who work day jobs don't even get a chance to be themselves for most of their lives. They only get a chance to finally be themselves for a tiny 3 weeks in a year when they get their paid holiday leave. That to me is really depressing. I don't want to look back on my life in my 50s-60s and to realise that I wasted it all on being a cog in a machine rather than doing things I could find to be fulfilling. (The only exception is if the day job you go to is something you feel passionate about, but let's face it, that is not the case for at least 90% of people out there).
And if you're a creative person or generally high on the Openness to Experience trait (from Big 5 theory), then day jobs would affect your mental health negatively even more so than they would for other people.
Your comment is really well written. Thank you I enjoyed reading it. I agree 100% with you. This is why I am thinking of becoming a teacher, in my country the salary is good and you get a lot of vacation (probably around 15 weeks per year). I graduated from university with a master's but as soon as I started working I realized something was very wrong with doing that for 40 years.
I would consider myself a creative person and very open to experience as you described. So far however, I haven't found any other alternative to make money that I would enjoy. I thought about the entrepreneur way for a while and almost started it but I gave up when I realized it would be even more work and not necessarily nicer than being an employee.
Most people around me seem to be perfectly fine with the 8-5 lifestyle. I have been feeling very lonely ever since I started working even though I have friends and families. It seems no one really mind that shitty life.
If you read this comment don't hesitate to reply (OP or anyone else)
Thanks for the reply, Jack T, and I agree with everything you're saying. I get a sense that most of us while young get mislead a lot - get a degree, then get a 9-5 job, then start a family, do this till you retire. First of all, the degree no longer holds as much weight as it used to. It doesn't open doors for us anymore as we're being told. So we go to university for about 4 years, come out with a meaningless piece of paper and no work experience (and a hefty student loan!), so then in our early 20s, we're actually less useful to the workforce than someone who went to work right away after school, because they have work experience (which is what 99% of employers ask for). Degree is only good once you've climbed up the ladder. So our system has it all backwards.
I think teaching is a good idea if you do not mind having to stand up in front of a class to teach. We're always in need of teachers, and as you said, the holidays are a lot longer than for most jobs. And you know, with a teaching qualification/experience, you could also be a private tutor in your spare time (or whenever you want, like maybe after a few years of teaching in school), and being a private tutor is in my opinion a lot better, because then you get to be in charge of your own schedule. And thanks to the internet now, private tuition can be done online through Skype too, not only in person. So that can save you on travel costs. :)
The entrepreneur/freelance path indeed has its problems. It gives a lot more freedom, but it can be very unstable in terms of income and unpredictable times will often occur, so you kind of have to have backup plans. And it's also something that can take a while before it starts to bring in the profits, because in the early stages of most businesses, there are a lot more expenses than income.
Thank you, I didn't think about the private tutor path.
It seems like you are from the usa, where indeed many people start off their career in debt. Insane how much in entraps you. Plus the fact that many Americans live off their credit card. I know this because I studied there for a few years and was impressed by how much confidence in the future some young people with 100k $ debt had.
What path have you chosen ?
Thanks. Not quite USA, but close. I live in UK. It's somewhat similar here with the student debt. I personally have studied for biochemistry and genetics and did a Master's degree in cancer afterwards, but when it came to going into the workforce, it was tough. Science jobs aren't big in number here compared to some other industries, and most of them are pretty much start from the bottom doing menial tasks in a lab, even if you have a degree. So a couple or so years later of being unable to find a job in science, I re-qualified for AAT (accountancy courses). But when I did some jobs in this sphere, I found them extremely tedious. Back then I had a hobby of making games, so I decided to try going commercial route with that, and it kind of worked. I've been self-employed, making indie games for PC for the past 4 years. But things change of course, and Steam isn't quite the haven for indie devs it once was, so the income from games isn't enough anymore, so I'm now trying to find ways of making additional income either from a job or from doing freelance things such as digital art which I've been doing on and off over the years anyway. :)
So which country do you live in then? Tutor path is definitely worth looking into. If you have a teaching qualification, you have good chances there. And it has a very good pay rate per hour (at least here in UK anyway).
Congrats on making your own money through video games. How can I find your games on steam? I can support you a little maybe
I kinda followed the same path than you, at least in the beginning. I have a master in urban planning. After I graduated with good grades and honors I expected my career to take off, but it turned out completely different. For four years the only jobs I was able to land are internships and short term contracts. Even though I always worked correctly I'll admit that I haven't been very enthusiastic for a while about pursuing a career in the domain and maybe my old bosses felt it. Or maybe they didn't give a fuck because there is plenty of other candidates. Im from switzerland
By the way. my sister also studied biochemistry and started as a lab technician (overqualified) but somehow managed to climb the ladder now. But she still is stuck deep in the rat race and the 1 hour commute. She doens't seem to mind at all lol...
Entrepreneurship is wise and on your terms. You won’t survive or become wealthy by being an employee. Time is the most valuable asset. I survive with my family just selling cakes and participating in events. It’s a ride! and i might consider creating my own business account.
Jordan, you're teaching me a lot. Very disturbed (in a positive way) by all the perspectives you're sharing that elevates one's life to the stratosphere.
I've been binge watching your videos and I've decided to take action. I'll look for your course and will inquire. However, I think I can figure it out from the amazingly clear, concise, and to the point videos you've shared on your channel.
Thank you for doing all of this for your RUclips community. I greatly appreciate it all. A lot of time and effort.
Thanks.
the most terrifying part for me is {this happen to my mom and millions of other people that work at big companys} She put in 30 years at pnc bank and coulda have retired in 5 years and they eliminated her position she lost per pention and they didn't hold up too there part of the retirement so she only had what she had paid into retirement and now she was 55 years old no collage and no experience in anything else now she works in a clothing store making 1/4 what she made then and will have to work till she dies and that my friend is terrifying! Love the videos man keep up the good work!
I quit my job after 2 trial days lol
I worked in a restauran in the Philippines and we stay a total of 9 hours (some times more) at the resturant because break time is not counted... the restaurant opens at 8 a.m. and if you're in the opening shift we first got 1 hour breaks but then they changed it to 2 hours breaks so you'le go home at about 7 p.m. (making your time a total of 10 hours and 2 hours of that isn't paid)... If you are mid-shift you go to work at 12 p.m. and leave at 9 p.m. (at least that's the idea) they changed it again, if you are mid-shift (they make your break time even longer) 3 hours break which means I'll spend a total of 11 hours at work and 3 hours of that isn't going to be payed... The last shift is the closing-shift and it starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 3 a.m. (this was the worst work schedule ever) add to that the fact that some of my co-workers are the most annoying assholes ever... This schedules makes me feel like a robot or a machine and I was spending less time with my family... I would go to work, go home, eat, sleep then I wake up and it's time to go to *work/hell* again... Thank you *Millionaire Milennial* for giving me some ideas on how to earn money online, I haven't started yet but I'm really exited to try.
Edit: I forgot to mention the horrific traffic here in Metro Manila that adds to the stress, if traffic is really bad you could have a 3 hour travel time for what should have been just a 30 minute travel time (3 hour travel to work + 3 hour travel home = 6 hours travel time) 6 hour total travel time plus my shitty work schedule = *brain damage.* My 1 day rest day is like an oasis in the middle of a never ending desert.
You're welcome friend :) Hang in there!
Thank you.
Queen of Manila #SPNfan what restaurant is this?
#jyseninthecloud - Sorry I don't want to namedrop for the purpose of confidentiality, but it's pretty common for restaurants here in the Philippines to overwork their employees... One of my friends also worked in another restaurant and he was doing 3 to 4 hours non paid overtime so he left... At least in my case the company was paying my overtime... minimum wage here is lower than 300$ a month *(totally not worth it)* considering that they only accept college graduates... that's why I'm looking for alternative ways for income. By the way are you Filipino?
Overwork, scams, employment without a contract or false contract/registering the employee to minimal wage and pay some more into the pocket/ is quite common in the catering sector almost everywhere, i have expierience from Europe.
You didnt say HOW YOU got where you are.
Quitting wont make you a millionaire.
Neither will working for another.
Nor working at 'goals' or being shamelessly materialistic.
You either get the opportunity to take what is yours or not.
Not everyone gets that.
I end my internship in a week, but I already got 11 sales for my first week on amazon so hopefully I'll be able to make that full time, while doing other business ventures
Update us buddy
Update brother? How's it going for you?
Update...
Great video man! I can dearly relate to the dregs of living for the weekend, and can't wait to be free of this cyclical system...thank you for the motivation!!
I'm ok with a 9-5 job but only if the actual work hour is just about 4 hours long while I can spend rest of the "formality" hours for anything I like.
Very true after working full time for just over a year (which I was forced into by my family and job centre) and trying to turn my passion for voice acting into my dream career. I couldn't handle all the work while taking classes for va, working full time and having multiple chronic illnesses which cause me to feel very fatigued every morning and exhausted by the end of a working day. I've put so hard work and money into my passion, I have another 4 months of classes and i'm finished, to then finally start going for paid work and get out into the competitive world. Anyway before I continue rambling, I completely get what you mean. I just come off the phone with a work coach I have been recommended by unemployment support (only left my job 3 weeks ago) and already being bombarded by the amount of shit you have to sign up for to go back into a crappy job! Why should I be seen as lazy or shameful if I want to work part time and spend the rest of my time working on crafting my passion into a career. Most of my family, friends, and work support coaches don't give a flying fuck. The lady on the phone nearly brought me to tears, she must've thought she muted herself but she asked about my hobbies and potential future career paths, I told her about voice acting and she said, you'll never have your dream job you stupid idiot you need to be realistic, awww so sad she thinks she can get a job in stuff like that and just started laughing. After that she just switched back to her normal conversation. Why even my family can't support how much I want to do the things I love for a living and help them finally have the money they've been needing their whole lives after living a capitalistic life of just working to die.
I'm 18 and have been trying to find something I can do with my life to make a living. Even working a full time job I only get 13 an hour. Now that seems like a lot at first but its really not enough. Id still have to live pay check to pay check. Finally heard about pressure washing and its a literal gold mine. I'm doing a lot of research and will start soon.
More ppl need to be watching this...it's ALL about your mindset
I truly agree with that last reason. I've been feeling that way at every single job I've had since 16 (usually after 3 months of working there) thinking that my new better paying job would be more fulfilling. Yeahh right. It's the exact same. I'm really trying to push myself to get out of the rat race and start living instead of just surviving. Just found your vids and I gotta say it's putting a lot of thoughts in my head and I'm ready for action. I actually was looking for a therapist online yesterday because I seriously was losing my mind after clocking out. Repetition is deadly...
Melissa Melissa funny enough though where I live ppl laugh at persons that make a living selling fruits at the side of the road. Little do they know that the fruit vendor makes more per day than they make in 2 weeks
" I hate it hereeeee"
9-5 life is sad and I refuse to do this for 30
Plus years . I hate all of it. Giving half your day to a place that literally is underpaying you , mentally draining, and so much more. I know so many people Can relate
They say that slavery has been abolished... I beg to differ; it has simply changed forms, and so many are content with wearing the golden handcuffs that a job provides.
Honestly... I find what you share and the way that you present it incredibly mentally stimulating. I feel challenged as I compare my current position to pursue a more passive, controllable, scalable source of income where I determine my own worth based upon how much effort I put forth in the correct way.
Thank you for sharing in this straightforward manner as you do. I'm sincerely looking forward to your free webinar on Thursday.
My 9 year old son is already trying to find what he wants to do for a job for the rest of his life after he graduates.......................
R.I.P.
I agree school dont really teach the right view.. i used to work with some near retirement age guys, and ... there no way they could live off thier retirment... they spend their whole lives working for retirement, and they are still going to have to work after retirement... pretty sad..
Teach him skills
The things we do in the name of "safety" are usually the most dangerous and harmful things to do for our health and sanity.
I definitely feel this. I've been training as a musician since i was eight, now I'm 20 and tired of practicing the same things over and over. Going into college for music I was super energetic about studying and getting better but now I'm just tired of a ton of hard work for little pay out. I'm ready for a change
When I first heard the statistic about Americans not having enough in their savings, it surprised me too. I do things a little risky where I do have over 25k saved... but not in completely liquid assets. I have them all in stocks which I know you are not supposed to do but I do not want my money sitting in a savings account losing value because the interest rate cannot keep up with inflation. I dapple in independent contracting where I get paid from another company in addition to my 9-5 job so I guess it is not too extremely risky.
You should look into high interest savings accounts! Some over 2% and it mostly offsets inflation.
Very curious, why there are so many channels now , saying to join a program, or seminar/webinar and pay hundreds of dollars....isn't everyone a millionaire seller? Why not post stuff for free.
my RUclips channel is free? 0.o so are my webinars xD
Millionaire Millennial how do you make a webinar? Can you makr a video abt it?
the problems you are talking about can happen with ANY job at ANY shift, so why attack "9-5" jobs? Now, I would love to be self employed and have a part time job that pays enough for me to pay bills, but unless you are medical professional, lawyer or computer skilled person, THAT IS NOT going to happen.
Im 17 I just dont want to follow everyone else's footsteps the thing is idk what to do
SAME
am 17 to and i am quitting school and i have 3 months to make enough money online!
Get job to bring in cash while you are figuring out a game plan to make more money.
This is probably late but get good at something now. Learn code. If you want to start something, start WORKING and saving money and put it towards you business. Actually do the work. Get off RUclips, I wasted 100s of hours listening to generic ass advice none of these people want to actually help you they are just selling courses.
So.
1. Save a crapton of money
2. Put it towards ur business.
3. Work at ur business till it succeeds
4. Do this before u go to college while u have no responsibilities. Cuz u won't have time and ur dream will fizzle out.
Try doing the same thing everyday but at 7am-3:30pm. It SUCKS.
I’m close. 7:30-4:30. And it does suck. I feel like I can barely make it through a week now. I’m constantly obsessing when is the next time I’m going to call out. I’ve even fooled around with the idea of going to lunch and just taking the rest of the day off. What’s even worse is I have a dentist appointment soon and I’m actually excited about going to the dentist because it means I won’t be at work. That’s a sad f-ing reality man.
I'm in that 70%. Sad but true. Not that that amount + was never saved. But you know, emergencies happen and before you know it is gone. I do make a decent income from my job , but like you said one income stream is not the way to go.
Great video. So spot on.
Americans are still taught to work hard for some company, and then one day retire. That’s BS old school thinking.
Live for today, man! Enjoy your best years! You don’t even know if you’ll make it to “retirement”. And, if you do, you’ll probably be all broken down and burnt out, from working your ass off, all those years.
People don’t seem to get it that life is NOW. NOW, people! Not 40 years in the future. Come on, people! Wake up!
Thankfully, we’re being a new generation of the entrepreneurial family to bring financial freedom by eliminating this 9 to 5 pyramid scheme.
It's never going to stop. It's always been here, I mean the pyramid scheme.
@@chrisl8815 we must try, at least.
When it's ok to have a 9-5 job i.e. just one income stream - financial perspective:
1. You still live with your parents, they will financially support you should you lose your one job
2. You have at least one year of expenses saved, of which 6 months is liquid
3. You are financially independent, i.e. you actually don't need that job to financially support yourself and your family
#2 will give you sufficient time to find a new job without the time pressure to take the first offer (incl. some buffer to keep peace of mind) OR to start your own business
Yep figured this out for myself last year, saved up some money and just quit my job last week. Feels good to get my life back in my own hands and not the hands of a soulless corporation.
I used to do nothing but side hustles. I busked, did photography, freelance writing and taught music. I was always depressed and scrounging for money. I took a 9-5 job writing. It gave me structure and a good income. When I was bored they switched me to recruiting. That gave me WAY more money. Got bored of that to though so I was going to quit but when I told them they offered me a promotion to account executive and they make 100k+ so I really can't complain. The old 9-5 has been good to me. I still live in a small bachelor so am pretty cheap so I'm saving a ton. Going to buy properties and rent them and when I get enough retire in my 30's.
Mental health is a big one here !
So what do we just go to college or join the military? Is that really it? Is that all there is to life? Just slaving away at jobs, go to school for just to get another “job” or go forfeit yourself to military...people who couldn’t give less of a fuck about you. Is this it. TBH and I know this is gonna sounds cruel, but it’s no wonder people choose the easy way out when they have nothing....
You must find something that you enjoy. Nearly all of us will end up in 9-5s so it's best that we make the most out of it and choose something that we can be passionate about.
You had me totally on the beginning of this video (almost spit my drink out laughing) and enjoyed so much all the knowledge that came after! Thank you for taking care of us poor workers, unlike Robert Kiyosaki, who just calls us loosers (while taking advantage of us). I feel very encouraged and brave now!
I'd rather do 9-5 I got the degree, got the job with a world leading multinational in the subject I studied. The works fine easy in fact. I have issues with the people more than anything and the general culture. If I got a remote gig working from home as I work databases that would be best. BUT I don't/cant hussle I cant stand sales people or pushy pricks. Plus if I'm doing 9-5 as it is last thing I wanna do is work more, I like a work/life balance. Cool video man. Lots of people seem like they wanna go it on their own. The thing I notice with that is. Say people working online most people are e begging, watch my videos but dont forget to support me on patreon etc. Huge influx of personal trainers, crypto currency and all that crap where a small % will actually benefit. The rest are jumping on a band wagon and getting ripped off.
A very helpful video! Thanks for your time, man!
Very informative and eye opening. Thank you for the video!
Why would you want to work for someone you have one life and on person and that is you do it yourself do what you want be happy and free
A lot of blue collar guys like myself don't work 9 to 5... It's usually 7 to 6 or 7 to 7 or 6 to 6. Even when I worked a desk job I was expected to work past 5 on a regular basis
If you find a job you like, stay out of debt, have a big amount of $$$ in savings, and don’t have a family until you make it, you’ll be fine.
If you have a good work ethic and are not scared of actually working then you will never be out of a job. You don't need a new cell phone every couple months, you don't need kids, a shitty car and an expensive car are the same, they get you from point a to point b at the end of the day, any job can cover food, clothes, shelter, the basics. Survival has nothing to do with luxury. You can get tons of food for 100 bucks a month, many of us do it. You are not entitled to shit, make what you make and enjoy it. If where you live is too expensive well you probably have legs so go somewhere else. Work nights, avoid the traffic, sleep all day, that's the way to go.
Wow.. you are so wise 😊👌🏽 You see the larger picture from birds eye view.. thanks for the awesome vid!
At this point i don’t even mind working a 9-5 job, since i’ll probably not be getting money any other way. Can’t seem to find any legitimate 100% proven to work tutorials/ways to earn money, and even if i do find one, it’s either unclear or requires like 26 steps, which i don’t feel like doing all for something that has a 80% chance of not working. And a 9-5 is immensely easier, despite sapping people of their will to live, motivation, etc.
