Dreamed of breaking free for years... On the 19tj on October, 2023 will be my last day as a W2 employee. I started a motor carrier company and I hit the road with my own truck, my own LLC And my own DOT #. I made one step everyday for 4 months.

After 15 years devoted to a company, my mother was fired via registered letter for abusing her sick days. She was battling cancer. Surgery then chemo and radiation. Isn't the corporate world just wonderful.
Do you not have fair work in your country? Being legitimately sick for 4 days with a doctors certificate then getting fired for it in my country would get a unfair dismissal claim and probably big payout
If you got paid more, you would still want more. And if you ran your own company you would pay your employees the same your getting now. Workers always find somthing to complain about, even in higher paying jobs.
@@crazymage9636u must be rich or spoiled living at home. Jobs don’t pay us enough to survive. They want us to work til we die. Seriously THINK before you type 🥄
So quit and go build a log cabin in the forest, what are you going to do instead? You're not more special than the person working next to you. You wouldn't even know how to rage against the machine.
@TheKingWhoWins you are free to do all those esoteric things you listed. In reality, at this point in time, you'll probably just have to get a job instead. Save the Bill Hicks rhetoric for your weekends.
Choosing not to be a wage slave starts with cutting out consumer purchases that aren't good for you. Cut out needless spending. Don't borrow money on credit cards and take on loans you can't afford. Being bitter isn't going to help you.
Once out of the rat race you will initially love being free but eventually you will get bored and feel a lack of purpose. The average person is not self motivated enough to find something to do other than a job. Most people need fear to do something. Being a slave sucks but unfortunately that’s all most people are good for.
The whole thing is sick. I can only speak about life in an office (in the UK), but I would estimate that every interaction is dysfunctional in some way. Not only are we all wasting precious time, which cannot be replenished -- rendering the amount of time spent at work truly obscene -- you're constantly forced to lie about how "useful" or "interesting" an email or proposal or meeting is. If you lied this much outside of work, to people you love, people woild rightly consider you a sociopath. To compound matters, everyone seems to spend the entire week waiting for Friday and dreading Monday. They're vocal about it too, on Mondays, Wednesdays (halfway there people!), Thursdays (almost there folks), and Fridays (just hours to go!) This is not the way to create a happy or creative society.
I don’t mind the salary and all that , but the feeling that you have to ask “the boss” to come 1 hr late to take your kid to the doctors appointment or the clock being 4:57 and you wait for 5:00 to leave even though you have nothing to do. Some people might like it , but it feels like prison to me. Having a freedom and control over your life is everything.
I remember watching this when it came out doing the bare minimum at a slow barbershop. Fast forward to today and I been in florida for a year as an owner of a 5 chair shop. Im a year or 2 from total freedom for my wife and me. Hopefully if my barbers stay positive and focused I can help them reach the next level and have shops of their own so they can have freedom too.
I really love my computer science degree ever since covid. Working from home is the best thing ever. I also get way more work done and I have way more free time where I can workout mid morning instead of late evenings or early mornings.
Retire overseas in southeast asia and live like like a king 6 to to 7 months a year after you have made a great deal of capitol from index investing a few years.I only visit the states during the summer time and and i earn more income when i am back.Damn this system of economic slavery.The dollar is alot stronger overseas.

I live in Hungary and I would never ever would want to work for an American company. We work 8hrs/day, in some cases lunch is included in those 8hrs.I have 34 days payed holiday/year due to my age (hmm) and having kids. (Each child means 2 extra holiday days, plus the older you are the more holiday you have) Plus of course x amount of payed sick days, but I'm never sick so I don't know how many weeks we get. And I still feel exploited by the multinational firm I work for... 😀 Also, if a family has 4 kids or more, the mother doesn't pay income tax for the rest of her life. This is an initiative by the government (conservative of course) to increase child birth rate.
Well how do you get to a point where you make enough to only work part time? The problem is it’s so expensive to live you have to work so much to survive. It’s not even about the luxurious stuff.

It all depends on the job and type of work you do, don't like it? Change job. It's that simple......but I caaaaant......stfu you can. Keep making excuses the rest of your pathetic life, see where that gets you.
This reminds me of the famous Andrew lahdes goodbye letter from Wall Street. He knew he had enough and walked away a rich man after shorting the 08 crash and calling the ivy leaguers idiots for taking his trades. He was content. It’s a great read if you’re ever interested.
That's because he's an ignorant douche who doesn't like working 9 to 5 himself, but still wants to benefit from the working class that does. It's like ''Fuck working from 9 to 5, but also, I want a fresh frappuccino every day from a person living that life.''
I just want the money to live somewhere with a small handful of quiet neighbours, cool people, no barking, no chart music, no firecrackers, no banging doors, just me some animals and some trees. I would also like two cars and that’s about it. I like to paint and I want to keep working on that and maybe give lessons someday, who knows,aybe set up a gallery.
I’m so glad I chose to break free back in September of last year. I’ve been making a living as a musician, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything. After years of factories and retail, it’s amazing to be my own man for once in my life. It can be done. I thank God for Rogan and his advice over the years.
9 to 5 thats a f***ing blessing. Im a quality engineer in Mexico i work from 8 to 7. My official schedule is 830 to 606. My manager and all the managers where I work at they work from around 730 to 9 pm. And we have japanese managers the f**ing live there nobody knows at what time they get in or out. You enter as early as you can and they are always there same at night Ive gotten to work until 10pm and the japanese managers are there. Thats a well paid enterprise tho. Im willing to risk some years of my life for the bread. But most of Latin american jobs have insane schedules
Y’all were close, it’s 2 weeks off per year but only 10 days technically. Also, most people only get 5 sick days off a year, equivalent of 1 work week. Total of 15 days off per year.
Important is to work for something greater than yourself. Just enjoy the presence is pointless in the long run. That is definately possible in normal/corporate/9-5 jobs. But can of course be done in your own company too (depend what it does).
All yall thinking being a business owner is better have no idea what you’re talking about. You work more, less vacation, no benefits, no vacation no retirement, until you make it, IF you make it. I recently gave up the right to my business, yes i make a bit less, so pay is similar, have 40 vacation days, health insurance, retirement plan and work alot less than i did when i was self employed. My stress and anxiety levels have gone down, i also work a hybrid schedule now too. 9-5s arent always bad, there are plenty of good companies out there
Lol they don't want to be a business owner they want to do less work for more money, that is their complaint. Heaven forbid they get what they want because they will only ask for more most employees think they are doing you a favour just by getting out of bed and comming to work 10 mins late.
Covid forced me to early retirement at 39 years of age/my industry collapsed and it ain't ever coming back. I said fxck you in my mind to the industry that screwed me over (and the zero talent idiots in it who Ive had to endure for the last 2 decades) and after being patient for the last 5 years (without money coming in from a salary) I am currently making as much cash as I was in 2011. In 2025 I will be making as much as I was in 2017 and in 2026 I will be making probably double I was in 2019. I advise opening your own business with the goal of having people work for you and having them say "how high" when you say "Jump". I really hope this comment ages well.
Can we at least give a shout out to the few companies actually care about their employees? I’ve worked for a couple of companies that were very understanding about being sick and offered tons of time off in the slow season.
The rat race sucks when it's low to mid pay.. I know people making 300k/yr as an employee, and they go vacation multiple times a year.. Sounds all good to me. Not everyone needs to start some business
You're missing the whole point. I could make 150k/yr as a freelancer or business owner. The freedom this gives you is day and night compare to 9-5 under a boss.
@@lulzd9355he isn’t missing the point, if you work a nine to five and have 4-6 week vacation but with actually decent pay it’s okay, obviously being super rich freelancer or what not etc is good as well but some ppl prefer schedules
Germans or Europeans get more days off with many bank holidays. I’m in the USA but I still get 25 days a year time off. Also get unlimited sick days too only thing is if you’re out more than 3 consecutive days you need some kind of paper work from the hospital or doctor. Work at a Fortune 500 and love the work life balance here.
All my life i thought i would live in the US when i grow up. Now i thank to myself everyday, that im a level headed person and just want to stay in my safe, clean and healthy country.
Working 12-14 hours a day in America doesn’t get you “new stuff” People work that much just to afford rent and live. Modern day slavery. People can’t afford to “ Do more of what they want to do”
That’s why I’m investing all I can into GameStop. Ryan Cohen is about to turn that company into something completely different and innovative after this melt up. Idk, there’s always hope if you believe in something
That’s why u gotta bust ur ass to make it when ur young so when ur 55 you don’t have to anymore. Currently trying to make it so I don’t have to work for someone anymore be my own boss
I love you Joe, but sometimes having the cash to buy something nice once in awhile is the goal. When you spend your whole life with broke shit that barely works a decent car and an insulated house thats yours is why a lot of us grind.
Sick days are a joke because you cannot predict what will happen to you and how sick or how long you'll be.....if work wasn't so stressful and we were protected from psychopaths at work and those we deal with it would be easier.
You cats need to stop being lazy and weak,it’s a blessing to have a job. Especially if it’s a good paying job. Im trying to get a job at waffle house, with 30 dollars to my name. Thats the other side they don’t want to tell you about. Being broke. Theres people who wish they were where some of y’all at. Maybe y’all haven’t struggled enough yet. You can live a good life without a Lamborghini. The people with that are miserable anyway, even through they lie and say they are not.
Lotta ego in this video lol. But I also can’t relate to much of it. I’m unionized. Vacation time based on time with the company , I’m at 6 PAID WEEKS. Then I have ‘sick time’ which we use for whatever. Only 8 hours a day. Can work whatever I want, it could be Monday and I decide to work 7-5 instead of 7-3, those two hours are overtime. For me, that equates out to $61 and some change per hour. Now don’t get me wrong. If I was on Joe or Ari’s spot where I have millions across multiple accounts, I’d have this same attitude too lol. Sadly it just doesn’t work like that. It there is a crazy amount of ego flowing in this clip. And idk why I just feel like ego’s are for young teenagers trying to impress or ‘one up’ each other. IMO, no TRUE, REAL grown man has an ego. And that’s what everyone thinks of themselves - a real, grown, tough man. If you have an ego, you are not one of them.
I love Joe, but it seems he doesn’t know what sick days actually are. Those are days you can skip work without medical confirmation. It’s easy to say “you either believe your employees or don’t”, but the truth is it is going to be abused anyways. Not a tragedy though, just saying.
all i see is two losers who got lucky and became famous and have never worked a day in their lives, dont let people tell you ur wasting ur life just because ur building a career and dedicate urself to ur work, Its how the everyday man provides for their family not everyone has a podcast where they sit down and talk shit and make a million dollars. Youll get that with these yuppie celebrities that have no idea what its like in the real world.
You do realize joe worked contruction and many other jobs on the come up sure some of it was luck but most people won’t take chances for success before you hate maybe look in the mirror
@@harleyparmentier7896he only worked construction for a month in summer. A lot of these influencers have won the lottery but Joe does have extremely good skills.
Yup if You don’t even know what sick days even are… It means your far away from real life for a while. They would play suïcide if they trade with the average man’s life today. They have a lavish life by talking ufc and podcasts… Most men work 40/50h shit jobs just to have a roof above their heads 😊🎉

@nfronning really just curious where does the money come from you sell tickets or what
I need to escape
Stop buying the next I phone 😂😂😂
@alexb8926 I don't have an I phone bro
From your mom's basement?
@@alexb8926you though you were cooking eh😂
Start a drop shipping business
9 to 5 thats a f***ing blessing. Im a quality engineer in Mexico i work from 8 to 7. My official schedule is 830 to 606.
My manager and all the managers where I work at they work from around 730 to 9 pm. And we have japanese managers the f**ing live there nobody knows at what time they get in or out.
You enter as early as you can and they are always there same at night Ive gotten to work until 10pm and the japanese managers are there. Thats a well paid enterprise tho. Im willing to risk some years of my life for the bread. But most of Latin american jobs have insane schedules
At Walmart it’s one week vacation.
Yeah home depot is also that. Just the Walmart of hardware
Yeah but all the stuff you can steal from Walmart makes it worth it
Damn bruh I go to Walmart and drop $30 on 4 items
what podcast does Jo reference?
What episode number is this??
It’s #972
1:23 tug boat in Seattle, work for a few months. What other examples are there?
commercial fishing in alaska, fifo jobs in australia, contract jobs, etc
@@belgiumwaffleh thank you for your answer
Y’all were close, it’s 2 weeks off per year but only 10 days technically. Also, most people only get 5 sick days off a year, equivalent of 1 work week. Total of 15 days off per year.
Average house price in Sydney is $1.6m ...😮
I know as an Australian it’s honestly disgusting
Why they call it a rat race. It's a sleep walk for me.
Important is to work for something greater than yourself. Just enjoy the presence is pointless in the long run.
That is definately possible in normal/corporate/9-5 jobs. But can of course be done in your own company too (depend what it does).
9-5? Im usually working 72 hours. Need to change.
All yall thinking being a business owner is better have no idea what you’re talking about. You work more, less vacation, no benefits, no vacation no retirement, until you make it, IF you make it. I recently gave up the right to my business, yes i make a bit less, so pay is similar, have 40 vacation days, health insurance, retirement plan and work alot less than i did when i was self employed. My stress and anxiety levels have gone down, i also work a hybrid schedule now too. 9-5s arent always bad, there are plenty of good companies out there
Lol they don't want to be a business owner they want to do less work for more money, that is their complaint. Heaven forbid they get what they want because they will only ask for more most employees think they are doing you a favour just by getting out of bed and comming to work 10 mins late.
Covid forced me to early retirement at 39 years of age/my industry collapsed and it ain't ever coming back. I said fxck you in my mind to the industry that screwed me over (and the zero talent idiots in it who Ive had to endure for the last 2 decades) and after being patient for the last 5 years (without money coming in from a salary) I am currently making as much cash as I was in 2011. In 2025 I will be making as much as I was in 2017 and in 2026 I will be making probably double I was in 2019. I advise opening your own business with the goal of having people work for you and having them say "how high" when you say "Jump". I really hope this comment ages well.
6-4pm here I gotta break outa this shit
Same, but overtime for the last hour of everyday and every second Friday off paid for a 3 day weekend.
9 to 5 is sad.
Not for all
Can we at least give a shout out to the few companies actually care about their employees? I’ve worked for a couple of companies that were very understanding about being sick and offered tons of time off in the slow season.
The rat race sucks when it's low to mid pay.. I know people making 300k/yr as an employee, and they go vacation multiple times a year.. Sounds all good to me. Not everyone needs to start some business
Well said bro!
You're missing the whole point. I could make 150k/yr as a freelancer or business owner. The freedom this gives you is day and night compare to 9-5 under a boss.
Do it then pussy
@@lulzd9355he isn’t missing the point, if you work a nine to five and have 4-6 week vacation but with actually decent pay it’s okay, obviously being super rich freelancer or what not etc is good as well but some ppl prefer schedules
“Hey do you know about sick days”?
I will manifest better. I will break the matrix
Germans or Europeans get more days off with many bank holidays.
I’m in the USA but I still get 25 days a year time off. Also get unlimited sick days too only thing is if you’re out more than 3 consecutive days you need some kind of paper work from the hospital or doctor. Work at a Fortune 500 and love the work life balance here.
Work is the curse of the drinking classes! Oscar Wilde
It’s not 2 weeks sick it’s 5 days
All my life i thought i would live in the US when i grow up. Now i thank to myself everyday, that im a level headed person and just want to stay in my safe, clean and healthy country.
India is not clean or safe
The USA sucks
Working 12-14 hours a day in America doesn’t get you “new stuff”
People work that much just to afford rent and live. Modern day slavery. People can’t afford to “ Do more of what they want to do”
"40 hours a week is bullshit. No one should do it". What about the folks at Spotify Joe?
No days off baby ❤
That’s why I’m investing all I can into GameStop. Ryan Cohen is about to turn that company into something completely different and innovative after this melt up. Idk, there’s always hope if you believe in something
3 months im almost there got some $ saved im ready to make a move
I have escaped
so lucky im not living in America ^-^
That’s why u gotta bust ur ass to make it when ur young so when ur 55 you don’t have to anymore. Currently trying to make it so I don’t have to work for someone anymore be my own boss
what's the alternative? lol
Exactly, he acts as if we don't need people working 9 to 5. If people wouldn't, he wouldn't be able to live his life in that ''better'' way either.
@@MetallicaRocksssyeah some people have to work 9-5 so others don’t… choose wisely
@@RobertOSullivan-f9l yeah let's all choose wisely and watch society crumble
5 weeks sounds good for americans and it surely is better but it still is not feeling good or enough.
right? A year has 52 weeks....so its not even 10%
rogan not knowing what the average paid vacation time in the US speaks volumes. Has he ever worked a 9-5?
I escaped.
Canada is like that with the sick days, unlimited sick days baby
Just modern day slavery
9-5 isn’t the issue. It’s the salary not keeping up with the economy. 9-5 with weekends off is a pretty easy schedule.
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff*ck no.
This video was 6 years ago bro
Yee unfortunately I have no cheddar to do anything when I’m off. But agreed, 5 days 9-5 ain’t bad
I wonder how they feel about these comments now. Can’t see forest for work ethic. Stoners will ruin everything
I love you Joe, but sometimes having the cash to buy something nice once in awhile is the goal. When you spend your whole life with broke shit that barely works a decent car and an insulated house thats yours is why a lot of us grind.
But grinding for it is the problem
Called Afluenza
Europe also hasn’t created or produced anything meaningful in a loooong time
If Ari has a problem with this system, why doesn't he take that over to his Clan and start changing shit
the jew clan?
@@dirtybubbles_gaming 👉👃
Sick days are a joke because you cannot predict what will happen to you and how sick or how long you'll be.....if work wasn't so stressful and we were protected from psychopaths at work and those we deal with it would be easier.
The problems aren’t 9-5s. People buy stupid shit to impress people who don’t care. Work save your money and invest so you can quit the rat race early
You’re out of touch
God bless Merica 🇺🇸
You cats need to stop being lazy and weak,it’s a blessing to have a job. Especially if it’s a good paying job. Im trying to get a job at waffle house, with 30 dollars to my name. Thats the other side they don’t want to tell you about. Being broke. Theres people who wish they were where some of y’all at. Maybe y’all haven’t struggled enough yet. You can live a good life without a Lamborghini. The people with that are miserable anyway, even through they lie and say they are not.
It's not 14 days it's 10
Tone deaf. People aren’t working for “stuff” were working just to survive.
Crabs in a bucket.
Money so my kids can live not fucked up
and then they do the same? Sounds ummm....
@Muffles help true😭man this is baddd
2 multimillionaires pretending to have financial worries.
They're simply talking about the system. Everyone's in it. Even them
@@TheKingWhoWins They don’t struggle with this system tho. You think Joe Rogan wakes up every morning to race to his shitty job?
@@RoxyProd He used to. He had the choice so he doesn't amymore
@@TheKingWhoWinswhat a joke

Im stacking and investing. The stock market can make you a lot of money if you get enough in there.
I will be great

My beautiful house that is important
Lotta ego in this video lol. But I also can’t relate to much of it. I’m unionized. Vacation time based on time with the company , I’m at 6 PAID WEEKS. Then I have ‘sick time’ which we use for whatever. Only 8 hours a day. Can work whatever I want, it could be Monday and I decide to work 7-5 instead of 7-3, those two hours are overtime. For me, that equates out to $61 and some change per hour.
Now don’t get me wrong. If I was on Joe or Ari’s spot where I have millions across multiple accounts, I’d have this same attitude too lol. Sadly it just doesn’t work like that.
It there is a crazy amount of ego flowing in this clip. And idk why I just feel like ego’s are for young teenagers trying to impress or ‘one up’ each other. IMO, no TRUE, REAL grown man has an ego. And that’s what everyone thinks of themselves - a real, grown, tough man. If you have an ego, you are not one of them.
Both would not survive 1y of real life many people are in today. Hè been rich since forever now. He has no clue what sick days even are 😂
I love Joe, but it seems he doesn’t know what sick days actually are. Those are days you can skip work without medical confirmation. It’s easy to say “you either believe your employees or don’t”, but the truth is it is going to be abused anyways. Not a tragedy though, just saying.
all i see is two losers who got lucky and became famous and have never worked a day in their lives, dont let people tell you ur wasting ur life just because ur building a career and dedicate urself to ur work, Its how the everyday man provides for their family not everyone has a podcast where they sit down and talk shit and make a million dollars. Youll get that with these yuppie celebrities that have no idea what its like in the real world.
You do realize joe worked contruction and many other jobs on the come up sure some of it was luck but most people won’t take chances for success before you hate maybe look in the mirror
@@harleyparmentier7896he only worked construction for a month in summer. A lot of these influencers have won the lottery but Joe does have extremely good skills.
Yup if You don’t even know what sick days even are… It means your far away from real life for a while.
They would play suïcide if they trade with the average man’s life today.
They have a lavish life by talking ufc and podcasts…
Most men work 40/50h shit jobs just to have a roof above their heads 😊🎉
Joe worked his ass off bro
