Morpheus : The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
What do you suggest? Everyone bein a hustler? How about you teach people to grow some balls, make sacrifices, and work towards escaping the 9-5 or at least makin it part time.
Yes school, that thing that teaches you how to contribute to society. I'm starting to see why yall are socialists. It's not because you care about the poor or the wealth gap, it's because you're lazy and have no discipline.
Your entire day is gone by the time you get home and then by Sunday all you can think about is how you’re gonna repeat the exact same week tomorrow…it’s so depressing.
Come work with us. Load in starts at 7-8am Load out ends about 12am Most off days are travel days We do this for months at a stretch One benefit is that I'm compensated extremely well
i've worked since I was 14 1/2. it's traumatizing. it's one thing to have a choice, but when survival depends on it, you just go. just be grateful we live in a country where finding work (a paycheck) is easy.
Yep, free time is just spent destressing before you have to do it all over again. I'd say weekends aren't much better, but you're lucky to get 2 days off in a row as a wagie so it doesn't even apply for most.
The distinction between working for a private company vs public corporation should not be lost. I worked for both..there is no comparison. Private is the way to go. Public you are virtually unseen. You get paid well but for what you are never quite sure so you know your job is always at risk.
It’s not just the 9-5 that kills you, it’s the 1 hour to commute to get there and 1 hour to get back making it a 10 hour work day. You get home and you’re exhausted and don’t want to do anything it sucks
The minute I get into the bus I can already feel the negativity in the people faces. I'm 22 and I'm scared to death to end up working 9 to 5 job. But I don't know what to do to avoid it. I would do anything. No matter how hard or lonely it'll get. 😢
@@GyobuTheDemonOniwa I did that. Past 2+years. Thought I'll create a bussiness after school but still not finished it yet. And I also made almost no money. Struggling to find any job. My biggest thing rn is to avoid frustration and keep pushing. It's hard. When everything reminds me I'm a looser.
Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
9 to 5 with a one hour commute. Somebody kill me please. I'm in my late 30's, have money and a good paying job, but no life outside it. I'm alone and no partner. I have wasted my life with the 9 to 5.
Same,so now I work at home for a publisher.It's basically piecework that you can do anytime.I work at night,or whenever I feel like it.Mornings alone can cause depression.And that phrase "good morning" is an ironic contradiction in terms.
@@lbks16 but what to do I ll starve ..now I keep asking for money from my parents I can't buy books ...I don't think it's worse that being unemployment...I know it's not ideal far from it it's bad but better than the alternative I'm not living in Europe this is not 1 world country
@@ilqar887 I don't know your talents, however you will definitely be starving in the beginning while you try to make it work. That's why most people are stuck in a 9 to 5, because it's really hard.
You can do that, buy some land and build a house on it, and grow your food. But you need to work to make the money to buy the land and build the house. Work isn't a bad thing. We wouldn't even be able to buy food if people weren't working 9-5. Guess who made those phones you're watching this on....people with a 9-5. Guess who made the clothes you wear? I can go on and on. 9-5's keep the world turning. Even entrepreneurs and business owners literally create 9-5 jobs. If you don't want to do it for the rest of your life, you can work towards that, but there's nothing wrong with a 9-5.
@@bkjustice9390the real bums is the fools getting up everyday to go build up someone else instead of themself, do better fool because you probably don’t got no other motion then that job
Sure you don't... try living outside of society in the wild and see how long you last without the 'system' providing you with food, shelter, heat, electricity, etc.
As much as the system sucks, you wouldnt have much to live for, if there was no system, anarchy, no food, no water, no useful things you can buy, rope, candles, solar panels, batteries, EVERYTHING the system creates. There is a rare possibility of living off grid for a few who own land and have savings to set up an alternative lifestyle, but you would still need the system to provide you with some things. If like you say, "you dont need the system", then dont use ANYTHING related to the system, and see how you fare. #lovehatesystem
@@HeartFeltGesture The system is required for certain types of things but not to live. No one is free under this system. I agree some figure out how to make the system work for them but this requires others willing to function in certain capacities who do not understand how to enslave others within the system.
Got fired from my 9 to 5 job. Best thing that ever happened to me. Now I just work a part time, 2nd shift job as a security guard. Since it's 2nd shift, I avoid all the traffic, and the building is empty, so I just sit on my ass and play on my laptop all night. I can go anywhere, and do anything I want within the property.
just start researching ways to make money online on youtube. My advice is that you really just have to start trying things to learn what you like or what you're good at
Gen x here- I'm noticing a ton a videos....called, "I'd rather kill myself than work 9 to 5:00" . Just want to say... My personal opinion.... I think gen z might be making a solid point about the structure of corporate! Even if my generation doesn't admit it they hate it. From now on every single time I see a video, labels like this I will watch it I will subscribe to it and I will give it a thumbs up. It's not a generation on generation issue.... It's a socio-economic issue.... And it definitely warrents speaking up about. Keep on keepin on!
Customer Service jobs are the worst lmfaooooo I used to be a sex worker and honestly Idk if sex work is worse than 9 to 5 or not lmfaoooooooooo Sex work was very emotionally destructive... ugh But customer service jobs were terrible too. I'm a mathematician and a programmer. So I'll be starting a couple of service based businesses.
@@dangerousangel777 I had a Conversation with People and we spoke about Se* workers. I said , it's stupid how a Lot of People shame Se* workers , because somehow we are all bi*ches of the System.
@@valeria-militiamessalina5672 No. Id rather work a job for less like I do now where I can be outside and traveling about. Of course id rather not be homeless, but corporate offices ARE hell. Its like Peter in Office Space. He trades the corporate nightmare for construction and is happy. I make probably 1/5th of what I used to as a software dev and though the financial struggle sucks, sitting in that office dealing with the things I had to was FAR, FAR worse.
I'm 74 and seeing my grandson going the same way. I really applaud the idea. I think they truly are on the right track. My Grandfather was a cabinet maker, in the cold winter months, in spring he planted crops on his modest farm . Once the crops were in, he had a wagon with the tools of his trade, carpenter/cabinet maker. The wagon was covered and supply his living quarters. With this he would truly live up to being a journeyman carpenter. When summer end he returned home to harvest his farm and preserve his harvest for the winter ahead, when the cycle would start to repeat. He also was a market hunter(supply butcher shops with game meat) and a bee keeper.. He never worked for another man in his life. There is a lesson here though, and a simple one. You will still need skills, maybe not the skills of my grandfather, skills that are more marketable today.
I thought that I would add to this comment. You must have some kind of back up. Some means of an income when you have been incapacitated. I'm not big on insurance, but health and disability can be useful.
same, i live off of 20-25 hours per week only. Smaller town, 30m², balcony. I work 2-3 days per week. Take your house, take your car, take your what ever, ill take my 15-20 days off every month. i rather have "only" a couple hundred bucks to spend for myself over working my entire life.
ive also been thinking about that, part time "bread job" then on the side start a business that you are actually passionate about, youll probably earn more than most 9-5ers after a while.
People are way too blinded by materialistic shit, so they'll gladly sell their souls to the 9-5 slave trade. Fortunately for me, I'm not one of those people, I prefer to remain humble and happy, so I will gladly earn less money and keep my sanity.
I'm not the type of person that can fake being happy while stuck in a miserable 9-5. I've known lots of people that seemed quite happy with their boring 9-5 brain dead positions. Never fully understood it. I always thought either they're really good at hiding their misery, or maybe they are very simple minded and don't have the intellectual ability to reflect on working such soul crushing jobs, and just go through life none the wiser.
@@rpd2787 Oh, yes! I agree with this perspective too. Some people just aren't at that level of understanding yet and they're okay with being a cog in the machine. Not to say everyone that works a 9 to 5 is like that... But many aren't fulfilled. They do it just because that's what society said.
I find happiness at work. I don't go there and think I am "switching to work mode" just to go home and eat goyslop in front of the TV. If/when a boss raises his voice at me (which happens because I am polite) I immediately stop being productive and ask him why he is being disrespectful. If it turns into an argument, I argue. If it gets too shitty, I walk off the job. I have walked off of 2 jobs in my life. One was a boomer boss. The other was a boomer coworker that pretended to be everyone's boss. Entitled boomers are not adjusting well to gen z. I am a millennial and I think gen z are a bit lazy, but I completely understand why and I will never "step up" and try to "get these kids to work" the way I have been told to in the past. I have what it takes to be a manager and maybe even a bit if a leader, but I won't until the entitled, shitty, lazy boomers get out of tge way. Gen x seem fine, but they simp too much. Just my experience, though.
@@buckaroobonzai2909 I'm Gen x i can tell you this if you show boomers respect that's what your get back. it's the same with us Gen x but we don't suffer fools gladly. We had to work stuff out the hard way find out how to get s*** done on your own.
"Rich people pay with their money, poor people pay with their time" is a quote that made me solidify the fact that I won't work another 9-5 job. Everything you're saying I 100% agree with. I have bad mental health issues, and when I worked a 9-5, I fell into addiction, couldn't get mental health help due to my hours at work, and I was absolutely miserable. My boss exploited the hell out of me by saying "this is your pay and if you're not happy, we can easily find someone else." I stayed because I was desperate. Never again. I'd rather eat a bit less, feel a bit more demotivated, and hit a whole bunch of obstacles while doing my own thing, than sell my soul to someone else so that they can live a fantastically comfortable life off of my back.
Its not even 9-5. Its more like 7-6 if you take into account commuting, prepping for work, and lunch time. Nearly 12 hours of your day is gone due to work, another 8 hours for sleep, leaving you only 4 hours to exercise, attend your own personal responsibilities, & relax from all the work.
I am working as a software developer in India from last 9 years. Earlier I used to enjoy my work but now its mundane. Salary is good but I am bored of rat race and limited professional setup. I am thinking of becoming a full time buddhist monk. Material life is not worth the struggle. Corporate life today is fucked up specially in MNCs. Life was way easier and better when humans were simply farmers and satisfied with basic needs. Cars mobiles and electricity. whats its worth if it has caused mental chaos in our mind.. social media is mini porn hub.. list goes on... I am afraid to even think about getting married and suffering forever just to make end meets
Check out Mark Hogben, lives alone off-grid for over 7 years. He has parkinson's but he manages. He was a former server manager at Gameloft for many years. He says the city makes him sick while nature rejuvenates him and this is backed by science because our auras can't breathe in the city electrosmog. It's more doable now than ever with the prevalence of solar panels & materials needed. Good luck!
I agree. I think the modern way of living has detrimental effects on our mental health. I often think that I'd probably be much happier living in a hunter gatherer tribe or living as a Buddhist monk. I wish you the best of luck
@@Finding_The_Light101 Sure and thank you. I have done Vipasana Meditation 10 days course. It is what Buddha taught. It changed me for better in just 10 days.
It's my ultimate goal to be totally self-sufficient and self-employed one day, and to not have to work 40 hours a week. To keep my sanity I just try to view working a 9-5 as a stepping stone that will one day no longer be required.
That is the attitude, I'm 54 and launched a few decent business over my career..always built them while employed, quit the day i started to see income. However be aware most busineses do not last forever, I had to go back to 9-5 twice. I had an airBnB just in 2004 was making me a ton, had 120 units under my control..got massacred the year airbnb came to my city. Suddenly there were 100,000 new condo rentals on the market. I was out by 2008. Gen-z must look at entrepreneurship not investing..take control of your life..its very easy really.. i know guys living well off walking dogs, fixing bikes, selling secon-hand clothes/furniture..but most good small biz you need to live in big city.
Problem is that “one day” will never come if you aren’t taking action now to put the change in place that you want. Don’t depend on your future self to be somehow different to who you are now. It won’t be, unless you’re taking steps now to make it happen. I always thought I would be free of my 9-5 by the age of 30. Then 40. Now I’m mid 50s, still plugging away at the daily grind. Do what you always did, get what you always got. Famous quote by someone. It’s very true. So, good luck my friend. Find what you want to do and start on the journey right now.
They don't, most western governments give you every resource in the book to start your own business but people love to be comfortable. They want all the rewards but no risk.
@@CyberFighter-hu7xo They don't have to give you money to start your own business, Save the money, take out a loan or find investors, like everyone else. Don't expect others to do the work for you
@@hi-et1oq Yes they do, most european countries have some form of programs that help young business owners get started. Here in austria you can even quality for a loan up to 15k to start your own business but every cent has to be spent on that business.
I live in Los Angeles. I see a TON of super happy homeless all over the place. They dance, they sing, they laugh.. They might not know where they are or who they are, but they are smiling without teeth.
Dude, you're speaking from my heart! You sound exactly like me 7 years ago. And I still have the same thoughts as you do. Now I'm self employed, I have my own business, roughly 50 % of my income is passive and I'm trying to increase that even further. I can travel whenever I want, my mental health has increased a millions times, I just feel so happy today. So I guess what I want to tell everybody: If 9 to 5 is not for you, don't waste any time with it and start building your own business. Go for it! You can do it!
I had several 9 to 5 jobs. The commute time, company and coworkers determine if your life will be hell or "enjoyable". My best job was 10 minutes from my home, amazing company, product that I loved and funny/chill coworkers. It felt like a dream. I was waking up happy to go to work. Another 9 to 5 was the exact opposite and every day was pure torture. I was so depressed to think that I would have to do that for the rest of my life and I resigned.
My previous job didn't have a commute (as I walked 15 to 20 mins) but was like hell due to doing the work of 3 for minimum wage. My current job has an hour commute but isn't stressful and has better pay/benefits, however I am looking into council jobs outside of office work as I don't want to do it anymore. I don't hate my current role but after spending 3 years doing office work so far, I find it too stifling and being autistic doesn't help due to feeling exhausted after masking 5 days a week.
Hear ya man. I’m 21 and decided to hit the road! I do photography and am trying to get really good at that. I just can’t take these 9-5s seriously anymore. If this is the way life has to be, then I’d rather isolate myself from society
If you want money as a photographer my friend bought home, built famly, supports kids.. all doing weddings and bar-mitzvahs lol...its not high-art but its still being behind a camera and it pays REALLY well. Once you get recommended from couple to couple you have a great life without needing to advertise.
I feel the same way. I live in the mountains working a 9-5 and want to get more into photography, and the mountains make learning and practicing photography a lotta fun.
Heck yeah I've looked up how to start a photography business, I much rather do do photography or be a content creator than work a 9-5, idc how much money comes from 9-5 I refuse to be a slave for decades.
Ugh!!! I'm a social worker/case manager, and single mom. I literally don't have a life; I work, take care of my kids and pets, clean the house, and do yard work. I try to find time to work out, but it's tough. I never feel well rested. I'd like to either work for myself/be my own boss or find a remote/work-at-home job. I've burned out twice at two previous jobs. I hate corporate America!!! We're slaves to the system!!!
That's a lifestyle career, and one you take home with you. Does it have any positives/work rewards? Anyway, I'vee seen plenty of online work for people like you. You may have to downsize(home) but working say, four hours a day online is. better haha good luck!
I am so happy that more and more people see how ridiculous it is to trade basically your whole lifetime for money. Because in the 9-5 job you get really nothing back. You can't really use the money for activities because you are exhausted from work and have to work all the time. So really you are not even having that 'comfortable' lifestyle that you think you'd get if you earn more money. This comfort zone is very uncomfortable. So thanks for your opinion, I really resonate a lot. Humans are not made to sit at desks in ugly buildings all day.
I'm neurodivergent, and 9-5 are like a prison for me. Not only that, but there's also a whole problem of trying to work in places that mentally drain us, with people that don't understand us, and having to work on days we are mentally crippled and can't do much. I'd rather have the uncertainty of being a freelancer than having to sell my soul like that, specially because, there's no stability on 9-5 jobs anymore.
@@_loonerit’s more of a need for survival. Most people don’t get the privilege of choice on how they make their money. You’ll see that as you get older and take on more responsibilities

I just don't work well with others. Great message that resonated with me, and you started on this path at a young age. Good for you. Inspiring
I’d rather Instacart and do other side hustles work when I want to work make money then deal with an employer like these jobs make me so depressed and burnt out and literally traumatize me.
same. People blow whether its boss, co workers, or the public. Thats why people hate working customer service oriented jobs. Going to work with a great attitude then get shitted on by a karen for being too slow for her. Seems they love bitching on someone who can't do anything. Company backs the rude customer over the person they know...its just shows you how expendable you are. The cool bosses tell you they got your back in situations like that, corporations will tolerate rudeness.
Working a 9-5 honestly isn't so bad. What is bad is having to deal with insane and angry coworkers EVERYDAY it is so draining. I can't stand being around miserable people.
That's unfortunately the big issue and I think it's done on purpose. Companies benefit from draining you out, so you can't even think and yk.. maybe organize your workplace and challenge the system. Of course that's still difficult to do right, because so many people are drained, but sometimes people manage to find that little (or big) spark when they start organizing.
Recently retired! I had a career in retail! The hours were crazy! You work nights, weekends, holidays. No life! I would gladly have taken a 9 to 5 to get my nights and weekends off! Once you find your dream job, start investing in retirement! Don’t stop! Keep investing! You will need that money in the future! Retirement is all about freedom! However, it is your health that dictates how much freedom you are going to have! Make your health part of your retirement plan! Good luck!
I work an intense labor job out in the sun 7:30 am 5 to 8:30 pm 5 days a week. You get used to it, you got to do what you got to do to get by and provide for your family.
yes girl, I quit too. I had an anxiety attack and a panic attack. I told my ex-boss that if all life is is toxic jobs and negativity that I don't wanna live anymore.
Life itself has been tainted. The stream of life has been poisoned. Money is the only way to buy freedom from work. And work is the only way to pay to breathe 😔
I did the 9 to 5 from 1991 to 2015, i was in debt, always sick and stressed out and drinking 🍸, and little sleep. I let it all go, now im 51 in excellent health condition, freedom 24/7 from 2016 to now 2024.

"How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?" -- Charles Bukowski
Spent 3 years working 9-5; it made me CONSTANTLY SAD because I wasn't free. When people asked what I did for a living I answered: "I sell time". I was renting myself out, and yes, literally selling vast chunks of my brief remaining lifespan (cheaply). How much money is worth not living? Now I do translations from home and play music (my passion) where and when I can. I'd rather be poor than spend most of my life not living.

here in germany, i feel like every person above 40 absolutely hates their job and is just exhausted. but they never actually say it out loud because they will be judged by their insanely-devoted-to-the-job coworkers, despite them hating work as well. they also judge people getting sick pretty harshly and often do not believe that their coworkers are actually sick, instead they think they are skipping out on work, it's crazy. people hate working a 9 to 5, they just never admit or want to talk about how we could create a better way of working because our society's way of thinking has fucked them over.
@@wizard1masterrace Foolish. That is a waste. You can be free far sooner than by the time you are old if you can develop a skill before you are ready to enter the market. You are giving horrendous advice. OP here is correct and as I near my 40's, I can confirm he is correct. MAKE A PLAN. GET A SKILL. Do it now while you are young, not later. Get work out of the way and then play the rest of your life if your plan worked. I did it all backwards as you are suggesting and so did my wife and its bitten us right in the rear end now as we are starting to become old and cant so easily change careers with a family. We are stuck because we played when we were young and didn't have a solid plan. If I could only transmit the pain we feel to you for a microsecond, you'd sing another tune real quick. The rat race is a hell you cannot imagine. Soul draining, terrible. Why be trapped in that for 50 years or more so you could play for a few years when you are young when you can maybe be out of that mess in 10 or 20 years if you come up with a plan? Do you want to "retire" at 38 or at 70 or even later? Heck, even guys who simply chose the military full time right out of HS and did their 20 years can retire at 38 and collect a pension for life. Thats just one example of a REALLY EASY plan. You could do that, work on a trade or skill while you're serving, then walk with a fat pension AND walk right into working for yourself making bank. But no bro, just go play when you're young. Great plan. LOL.
Same, it’s a slow death, a little struggle is worth freedom. Those that don’t wanna deal with the struggle and sacrifice opt in to e temporary or long term slaves while shaming you in the process when it’s them who want to be you for following your freedom compass! Here here brother!!❤❤ ❤
It is a catch 22. If you don't have enough experience, it is hard to get your foot in the door. If you have too much experience, you are deemed overqualified.
@@buri.bii3 OMG very true. Tell you to go college to get qualified. Apply with degree, now they say they don't need it and you're overqualified and no exp. lol They want to f*** with people, that's all.
@wmcroy3306 yeah, coming from my past experience doing recruitment I find most employers want someone experienced but on the cheap (so they can save money); if you have a degree and apply for a job say in retail for example, an employer will know you'll leave once something better crops up.
I work 6am-2pm, yes it's earlier wake ups but by the time I'm done it feels like I have so much day left. 9-5 is horrible, your day is shot after work.
I work 12 hours a day, 6 day work week with 3 days off. Don’t know what I’d do without my wife being at home taking care of my son. Most 9-5 jobs where I live can’t pay the bills. I do what I do because I have to. I’m a non confrontational guy working at a prison. Not meant for it, but I have no real choice unless I want to leave everything I know behind.
Non confrontational guy working at a prison... So do you do paperwork or something? I find it interesting that's what you do. Good for you for helping your kids
I work a 9-5 (actually 8-4) and I don't mind it at all. It gives me structure and stability which is something I really need. Having said that, I also work from home full-time, enjoy my job, and my boss allows me to self-manage so I don't have someone breathing down my neck all day. If any one of those things were different, I'd probably have a different opinion.

24yo, Brazil. Minimum Wage, from 12:45pm up to 02am all 5 days. They don't pay the extra hours. That was my last job, i am now 7 months searching for any kind of job.. I'll never have children this is just cruel to live.
your english seems good, maybe theres something you could do with that online, even remotly and better paid, as most brazilian ppl do not speak english. in the worst case just some sort of dialog writing for c4m girl or OF agency with their potential clients, even if its nothing honorable but should easily top the minimum wage
Even more. 9 to 1. In 5-10 years, most of the office jobs will be gone. Gone. It makes no sense working more than 4-5 hours nowadays in most jobs. Most of the time people are just sitting around in Office jobs.
Joseph Stalin planned to do that. To put a six-hour working day. It was in 1950th. Idea was simple - people will have time to educate or rest. They need to work less because of machinery that boosted production rates trhough the roof
I agree with you 💯 %. I rather make way less money but working for myself and having freedom to work from wherever I want and do things on my own time.
This is so relatable to me😢 Im from Mexico, Im in 30's, I've studied and worked a lot during my 20's, I did quit the rat race by moving to the countryside some years ago, live in a beautiful forest área in my own property, I live simple thats why I dont need a "normal" job, just need 20 hrs per month for a livelihood. 😊 It is about getting rid of of luxury and want a different life out of stress.
Yeah that ain't it. I'm so glad my generation and every one after that are starting to learn. Going blindly everyday to a 9-5 for a piece of paper is wasting your life. They corporations do not care about you, so it makes no sense to care about them. Go outside, go for a bike ride, camping, hiking, anything within nature. Your mind will thank you. Do what YOU want and live YOUR life. Theres sooo much more to life than money.
Yeah 9-5 is pretty much hell, it's living on auto pilot. I got out of there a long time ago. I work as a caretaker at a day center for 15 years now and only work for 30 hours a week, so 6 hours per day. Versatile work, stable income and great work/freetime balance. Never going back.
I'm a lawyer and my ego might struggle with that job? I'm a sucker for status and ego, it was drilled in to me by my mother from a young age. I don't like that I'm like this it reduces my options. But maybe my view will change if I keep my current mindset of wanting to get out of 9 to 5 (years ago all I cared about was climbing corp ladder, that is until I got over stressed and had a mental breakdown)
Love it. People knock my lifestyle of living in an RV all the damn time, talking to me like I’m homeless and broke.. yet everything I make I keep. Starting my own LLC like you’re saying, I can write off the gas & maintenance costs 100% because this thing is over 6k pounds. Whether I start a locksmithing thing or strictly art, either way.. I have all my time for myself
I graduated college years ago, but I've always felt this way. I never got used to 9 to 5 work, was too tired to do anything when I got home. It's worse in the autumn/winter season when you wake up and it's dark and you go back home and it's still dark... Then maybe you have free time on Saturday and Sunday. It was stressful and depressing, to say the least
I finally work for a company that I really wanted to be part of. Then, I'm in project mode since 2019 till now and burnout hit me hard during the pandemic as I was grinding hard working from home during that time with back-to-back meetings, deadlines, etc. It was a big slap in my face since then, I'm trying to explore ways to secure myself financially before taking the leap and explore something that nourishes my soul including exploring youtube to be off service or building community. Thanks for sharing!
100% agree with this. For many years, I struggled with close friends beefing at me to work a 9 to 5, but I just knew that it was not the dream for me. I’m working towards my dreams daily, hoping to make them come to life soon! I worked as a gig contractor for almost a decade, but I’ve gotten many different experiences that a normal job wouldn’t offer. Self growth, expanding skills and variety, beats having worked at the same “barely 9 to 5” for a few years, enduring being at a city that I couldn’t stand, plus no room for growth, a grumpy boss, and they took away my 401(k) as time went on
i’m working 7x a week at my 9 to 5 for the last year, and i have never felt worse. I feel so stuck and don’t know what to do. Thank you for this video!
Id rather work manual labor than office jobs. Im a college grad. But! Id rather work in nature than sit at a desk. I became a landscaper. Try nontraditional jobs! Dont settle for less.
It is nothing short of total misery for me and I chose to be poor and time rich, the irony is I have friends who worked hard their whole life and have even less than me to show for it. Time is the most valuable thing I will ever own and its worth a whole lot more to me than the 20 or whatever an hour, I even did a job that paid 40 with 10 hour days which would be life changing money for me but the level of anxiety I experienced with the idea of it being anything other than temporary was not worth it. It also screwed my sleep knowing I had to be up in X amount of hours and that if I didn't go to bed AND fall asleep at X time I would be facing a whole day tired AF which ofcourse also made it hard to sleep. No thank you.
I am the same, as soon as I realised I was repeatedly working for people who exploited me and oftentimes did not know the job as well as I did. I then decided to go self-employed. The best decision I ever made and so many of my passions are now back in my life in a very active way. Great content my friend :)
@@mryan4452 I am a tradesman with very minimal living costs and lots of free time which is spent on my many musical pursuits and travel. It was never my dream to work in trade, but then I realised there will always be a demand for good skilled work and the reality of being your own boss is a very real one. So at least for now, I have a very satisfying balance.
@@mryan4452 I work as a tradesman, as soon as I realised how accesible it was for me to attain work on my schedule, it was a no brainer. I have very minimal living costs and much of my time goes to family friends, musical pursuits and travel.
When I lived in a van and had no debt, taxes etc that was the best time in my life. I would usually lay by the pool most days. Having control over my time and schedule was amazing. It think my bills were maybe a couple hundred a month.
Started my own bis after get bankrupt few times. Making minimal wage and probably would make more by working in Macdonalds. But here's the kicker, - you're your own boss. And you will have to work anyways. Either for someone else OR yourself. So rather work for yourself.
i agree, your working for yourself and its 100x better than slaving away for someone elses benefit. What books would you recommend because I just don't have any ideas.
I don't like working a 9-5, but it's the only way I can pay the bills. At one point I had to work 6 days a week which came at a terrible time in my life, my dad passed away and the household was dependent on me keeping things afloat.

Morpheus : The Matrix is a system, Neo. That system is our enemy. But when you're inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured, so hopelessly dependent on the system, that they will fight to protect it.
What do you suggest? Everyone bein a hustler? How about you teach people to grow some balls, make sacrifices, and work towards escaping the 9-5 or at least makin it part time.

Working in a big corporation is like being in a video game that probably ended, but you’re not sure. So you just wander around and try to not die.
hahah that's a great analogy
lmaoo you nailed it!
lmao
The distinction between working for a private company vs public corporation should not be lost. I worked for both..there is no comparison. Private is the way to go. Public you are virtually unseen. You get paid well but for what you are never quite sure so you know your job is always at risk.
LOL good 1
It’s not just the 9-5 that kills you, it’s the 1 hour to commute to get there and 1 hour to get back making it a 10 hour work day. You get home and you’re exhausted and don’t want to do anything it sucks
The minute I get into the bus I can already feel the negativity in the people faces.

Psychedelics are just an exceptional mental health breakthrough. It's quite fascinating how effective they are against depression and anxiety. Saved my life.
Microdosing helped me get out of the pit of my worst depressive episode, a three year long episode, enough to start working on my mental health.

9 to 5 with a one hour commute. Somebody kill me please. I'm in my late 30's, have money and a good paying job, but no life outside it. I'm alone and no partner. I have wasted my life with the 9 to 5.
Same,so now I work at home for a publisher.It's basically piecework that you can do anytime.I work at night,or whenever I feel like it.Mornings alone can cause depression.And that phrase "good morning" is an ironic contradiction in terms.

We wouldn't even be able to buy food if people weren't working 9-5. Guess who made those phones you're watching this on....people with a 9-5. Guess who made the clothes you wear?

As much as the system sucks, you wouldnt have much to live for, if there was no system, anarchy, no food, no water, no useful things you can buy, rope, candles, solar panels, batteries, EVERYTHING the system creates.

From now on every single time I see a video, labels like this I will watch it I will subscribe to it and I will give it a thumbs up. It's not a generation on generation issue....

I'm 74 and seeing my grandson going the same way. I really applaud the idea. I think they truly are on the right track. My Grandfather was a cabinet maker, in the cold winter months, in spring he planted crops on his modest farm . Once the crops were in, he had a wagon with the tools of his trade, carpenter/cabinet maker. The wagon was covered and supply his living quarters. With this he would truly live up to being a journeyman carpenter. When summer end he returned home to harvest his farm and preserve his harvest for the winter ahead, when the cycle would start to repeat. He also was a market hunter(supply butcher shops with game meat) and a bee keeper.. He never worked for another man in his life. There is a lesson here though, and a simple one. You will still need skills, maybe not the skills of my grandfather, skills that are more marketable today.
I thought that I would add to this comment. You must have some kind of back up. Some means of an income when you have been incapacitated. I'm not big on insurance, but health and disability can be useful.
That's really interesting
Skills pays the bills!

ive also been thinking about that, part time "bread job" then on the side start a business that you are actually passionate about, youll probably earn more than most 9-5ers after a while.
People are way too blinded by materialistic shit, so they'll gladly sell their souls to the 9-5 slave trade. Fortunately for me, I'm not one of those people, I prefer to remain humble and happy, so I will gladly earn less money and keep my sanity.
I think people pretend to be happy in their daily jobs but they’re actually miserable.
I'm not the type of person that can fake being happy while stuck in a miserable 9-5.
I've known lots of people that seemed quite happy with their boring 9-5 brain dead positions. Never fully understood it.
I always thought either they're really good at hiding their misery, or maybe they are very simple minded and don't have the intellectual ability to reflect on working such soul crushing jobs, and just go through life none the wiser.
@@rpd2787 Oh, yes! I agree with this perspective too. Some people just aren't at that level of understanding yet and they're okay with being a cog in the machine. Not to say everyone that works a 9 to 5 is like that... But many aren't fulfilled. They do it just because that's what society said.
I find happiness at work. I don't go there and think I am "switching to work mode" just to go home and eat goyslop in front of the TV.
If/when a boss raises his voice at me (which happens because I am polite) I immediately stop being productive and ask him why he is being disrespectful. If it turns into an argument, I argue. If it gets too shitty, I walk off the job. I have walked off of 2 jobs in my life. One was a boomer boss. The other was a boomer coworker that pretended to be everyone's boss.
Entitled boomers are not adjusting well to gen z. I am a millennial and I think gen z are a bit lazy, but I completely understand why and I will never "step up" and try to "get these kids to work" the way I have been told to in the past.

Everything you're saying I 100% agree with. I have bad mental health issues, and when I worked a 9-5, I fell into addiction, couldn't get mental health help due to my hours at work, and I was absolutely miserable. My boss exploited the hell out of me by saying "this is your pay and if you're not happy, we can easily find someone else." I stayed because I was desperate. Never again. I'd rather eat a bit less, feel a bit more demotivated, and hit a whole bunch of obstacles while doing my own thing, than sell my soul to someone else so that they can live a fantastically comfortable life off of my back.
I fucking 10000000% agree
Its not even 9-5. Its more like 7-6 if you take into account commuting, prepping for work, and lunch time. Nearly 12 hours of your day is gone due to work, another 8 hours for sleep, leaving you only 4 hours to exercise, attend your own personal responsibilities, & relax from all the work.
I look at people who have kids and work full time I'm like where do they even get energy from?
From the deepest pits of hell
Tons of coffee. I know so many 9-5 guys in their 40s who are addicted to it. They'll drink like 15 cups of it every single day.

It's my ultimate goal to be totally self-sufficient and self-employed one day, and to not have to work 40 hours a week. To keep my sanity I just try to view working a 9-5 as a stepping stone that will one day no longer be required.

That is the attitude, I'm 54 and launched a few decent business over my career..always built them while employed, quit the day i started to see income. However be aware most busineses do not last forever, I had to go back to 9-5 twice.

Problem is that “one day” will never come if you aren’t taking action now to put the change in place that you want. Don’t depend on your future self to be somehow different to who you are now. It won’t be, unless you’re taking steps now to make it happen.
I always thought I would be free of my 9-5 by the age of 30. Then 40. Now I’m mid 50s, still plugging away at the daily grind. Do what you always did, get what you always got. Famous quote by someone. It’s very true.

Another 9 to 5 was the exact opposite and every day was pure torture. I was so depressed to think that I would have to do that for the rest of my life and I resigned.
Yup. Coworkers can make it or break it.
Working with someone that doesn't click can be hell indeed.
My previous job didn't have a commute (as I walked 15 to 20 mins) but was like hell due to doing the work of 3 for minimum wage. My current job has an hour commute but isn't stressful and has better pay/benefits, however I am looking into council jobs outside of office work as I don't want to do it anymore. I don't hate my current role but after spending 3 years doing office work so far, I find it too stifling and being autistic doesn't help due to feeling exhausted after masking 5 days a week.
Hear ya man. I’m 21 and decided to hit the road! I do photography and am trying to get really good at that. I just can’t take these 9-5s seriously anymore. If this is the way life has to be, then I’d rather isolate myself from society
If you want money as a photographer my friend bought home, built famly, supports kids.. all doing weddings and bar-mitzvahs lol...its not high-art but its still being behind a camera and it pays REALLY well. Once you get recommended from couple to couple you have a great life without needing to advertise.
@@stoneneils thank you for your comment. I’m trying my hardest to hopefully make this a career one day 🙏
I feel the same way. I live in the mountains working a 9-5 and want to get more into photography, and the mountains make learning and practicing photography a lotta fun.
Nothing wrong with playing the game, oh society.
Heck yeah I've looked up how to start a photography business, I much rather do do photography or be a content creator than work a 9-5, idc how much money comes from 9-5 I refuse to be a slave for decades.
Ugh!!! I'm a social worker/case manager, and single mom. I literally don't have a life; I work, take care of my kids and pets, clean the house, and do yard work. I try to find time to work out, but it's tough. I never feel well rested. I'd like to either work for myself/be my own boss or find a remote/work-at-home job. I've burned out twice at two previous jobs. I hate corporate America!!! We're slaves to the system!!!
That's a lifestyle career, and one you take home with you. Does it have any positives/work rewards? Anyway, I'vee seen plenty of online work for people like you. You may have to downsize(home) but working say, four hours a day online is. better haha good luck!
I am so happy that more and more people see how ridiculous it is to trade basically your whole lifetime for money. Because in the 9-5 job you get really nothing back. You can't really use the money for activities because you are exhausted from work and have to work all the time. So really you are not even having that 'comfortable' lifestyle that you think you'd get if you earn more money. This comfort zone is very uncomfortable. So thanks for your opinion, I really resonate a lot. Humans are not made to sit at desks in ugly buildings all day.
bro houses r so expensive now that a regular 9-5 cant buy u shit , let alone even an apartment 😂
I'm neurodivergent, and 9-5 are like a prison for me. Not only that, but there's also a whole problem of trying to work in places that mentally drain us, with people that don't understand us, and having to work on days we are mentally crippled and can't do much. I'd rather have the uncertainty of being a freelancer than having to sell my soul like that, specially because, there's no stability on 9-5 jobs anymore.
So true. Stability is a fake promise. They can lay us off anytime.
The same as me, I can't stand coworkers and their normies talking crap
@@DexterMorgan-sd4jxJust avoid them, it's what I do. Until you can get out.

@@proggz39 , A lot of people "Fall" into their job roles for what fits them eventually. I did acting, 3d model commissions and even sang for commercial jingles. Very odd jobs, but paid well. I didn't chose those skills. They chose me. Lol
The difference is, before, the juice was worth the squeeze. What’s the point trading your life to live to work?!
i can't do it either. I'd rather work harder for myself, than 8 hours for someone else. Very few ideas work out, but something tells me, it will be better in the long run. I just don't work well with others. Great message that resonated with me, and you started on this path at a young age. Good for you. Inspiring
I’d rather Instacart and do other side hustles work when I want to work make money then deal with an employer like these jobs make me so depressed and burnt out and literally traumatize me.
same. People blow whether its boss, co workers, or the public. Thats why people hate working customer service oriented jobs. Going to work with a great attitude then get shitted on by a karen for being too slow for her. Seems they love bitching on someone who can't do anything. Company backs the rude customer over the person they know...its just shows you how expendable you are. The cool bosses tell you they got your back in situations like that, corporations will tolerate rudeness.
Working a 9-5 honestly isn't so bad. What is bad is having to deal with insane and angry coworkers EVERYDAY it is so draining. I can't stand being around miserable people.
Or jealous ones

I don’t know how to escape it. I have ideas but when I get home from work I’m just too burnt out and depressed to think straight
That's unfortunately the big issue and I think it's done on purpose. Companies benefit from draining you out, so you can't even think and yk.. maybe organize your workplace and challenge the system. Of course that's still difficult to do right, because so many people are drained, but sometimes people manage to find that little (or big) spark when they start organizing.
Recently retired! I had a career in retail! The hours were crazy! You work nights, weekends, holidays. No life! I would gladly have taken a 9 to 5 to get my nights and weekends off!
Once you find your dream job, start investing in retirement! Don’t stop! Keep investing! You will need that money in the future!
Retirement is all about freedom! However, it is your health that dictates how much freedom you are going to have! Make your health part of your retirement plan! Good luck!
Great advice!

Life itself has been tainted. The stream of life has been poisoned. Money is the only way to buy freedom from work. And work is the only way to pay to breathe 😔
I did the 9 to 5 from 1991 to 2015, i was in debt, always sick and stressed out and drinking 🍸, and little sleep. I let it all go, now im 51 in excellent health condition, freedom 24/7 from 2016 to now 2024.

"How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 8:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?" -- Charles Bukowski
Spent 3 years working 9-5; it made me CONSTANTLY SAD because I wasn't free. When people asked what I did for a living I answered: "I sell time". I was renting myself out, and yes, literally selling vast chunks of my brief remaining lifespan (cheaply). How much money is worth not living? Now I do translations from home and play music (my passion) where and when I can. I'd rather be poor than spend most of my life not living.

@@sarina3851you can buy a house, sub let out two rooms and get them to pay the mortgage. I do that.
here in germany, i feel like every person above 40 absolutely hates their job and is just exhausted. but they never actually say it out loud because they will be judged by their insanely-devoted-to-the-job coworkers, despite them hating work as well. they also judge people getting sick pretty harshly and often do not believe that their coworkers are actually sick, instead they think they are skipping out on work, it's crazy. people hate working a 9 to 5, they just never admit or want to talk about how we could create a better way of working because our society's way of thinking has fucked them over.
Facts. I need to use my youth and develop a plan to free myself from this 9-5 trap
The problem is that you must use your youth to do what you want not waste it so you get to be free when you are old and life is worthless.
@@wizard1masterrace Foolish. That is a waste. You can be free far sooner than by the time you are old if you can develop a skill before you are ready to enter the market. You are giving horrendous advice. OP here is correct and as I near my 40's, I can confirm he is correct. MAKE A PLAN. GET A SKILL. Do it now while you are young, not later. Get work out of the way and then play the rest of your life if your plan worked. I did it all backwards as you are suggesting and so did my wife and its bitten us right in the rear end now as we are starting to become old and cant so easily change careers with a family.
We are stuck because we played when we were young and didn't have a solid plan. If I could only transmit the pain we feel to you for a microsecond, you'd sing another tune real quick. The rat race is a hell you cannot imagine. Soul draining, terrible. Why be trapped in that for 50 years or more so you could play for a few years when you are young when you can maybe be out of that mess in 10 or 20 years if you come up with a plan? Do you want to "retire" at 38 or at 70 or even later? Heck, even guys who simply chose the military full time right out of HS and did their 20 years can retire at 38 and collect a pension for life. Thats just one example of a REALLY EASY plan. You could do that, work on a trade or skill while you're serving, then walk with a fat pension AND walk right into working for yourself making bank. But no bro, just go play when you're young. Great plan. LOL.
Same, it’s a slow death, a little struggle is worth freedom. Those that don’t wanna deal with the struggle and sacrifice opt in to e temporary or long term slaves while shaming you in the process when it’s them who want to be you for following your freedom compass! Here here brother!!❤❤ ❤
Lots of people are applying for jobs but not getting them. Desperation in the air.
Those who lack and need exp, don't get them, those who have and don't need exp, get them.
It is a catch 22. If you don't have enough experience, it is hard to get your foot in the door. If you have too much experience, you are deemed overqualified.
@@buri.bii3 OMG very true. Tell you to go college to get qualified. Apply with degree, now they say they don't need it and you're overqualified and no exp. lol They want to f*** with people, that's all.
@@buri.bii3The "overqualified" part kills me lol especially if employers need workers badly
@wmcroy3306 yeah, coming from my past experience doing recruitment I find most employers want someone experienced but on the cheap (so they can save money); if you have a degree and apply for a job say in retail for example, an employer will know you'll leave once something better crops up.
Don’t feel bad. 9-5 is not normal!!! It’s a slave system. I can’t do it either, get super depressed and end up telling them all to F off.
Good, stand your ground queen.
Excellent video! I feel the same bro, 9-5 is a trap...follow your dreams and aspirations
I work 6am-2pm, yes it's earlier wake ups but by the time I'm done it feels like I have so much day left. 9-5 is horrible, your day is shot after work.
I work 12 hours a day, 6 day work week with 3 days off. Don’t know what I’d do without my wife being at home taking care of my son. Most 9-5 jobs where I live can’t pay the bills. I do what I do because I have to. I’m a non confrontational guy working at a prison. Not meant for it, but I have no real choice unless I want to leave everything I know behind.
Non confrontational guy working at a prison... So do you do paperwork or something? I find it interesting that's what you do.
Good for you for helping your kids
How do we do it? Bills, food, housing, car payments, debt, healthcare….
I work a 9-5 (actually 8-4) and I don't mind it at all. It gives me structure and stability which is something I really need. Having said that, I also work from home full-time, enjoy my job, and my boss allows me to self-manage so I don't have someone breathing down my neck all day. If any one of those things were different, I'd probably have a different opinion.
I totally agree brother. I feel like I'm dying slow and extra depressed. I'm a bus driver.
I hope you are ok now. A bus driver is a cool job, no 9 to 5 office politics crap to deal with.

24yo, Brazil. Minimum Wage, from 12:45pm up to 02am all 5 days. They don't pay the extra hours. That was my last job, i am now 7 months searching for any kind of job.. I'll never have children this is just cruel to live.
your english seems good, maybe theres something you could do with that online, even remotly and better paid, as most brazilian ppl do not speak english. in the worst case just some sort of dialog writing for c4m girl or OF agency with their potential clients, even if its nothing honorable but should easily top the minimum wage
The biggest hinderance is having kids at a young age. Not doing that solves a lot of problems. Also, saving early and saving often has to happen.

Applicable advice for boomers and early millennials
9 to 3 with 2 breaks and same pay should be the new standard. We don't live in a society without machines anymore.
Even more. 9 to 1. In 5-10 years, most of the office jobs will be gone. Gone. It makes no sense working more than 4-5 hours nowadays in most jobs. Most of the time people are just sitting around in Office jobs.
Joseph Stalin planned to do that. To put a six-hour working day. It was in 1950th. Idea was simple - people will have time to educate or rest. They need to work less because of machinery that boosted production rates trhough the roof
9 to 3 with lunch included and MORE pay. The salaries have been stagnant for the past 50 years
I agree with you 💯 %. I rather make way less money but working for myself and having freedom to work from wherever I want and do things on my own time.
This is so relatable to me😢 Im from Mexico, Im in 30's, I've studied and worked a lot during my 20's, I did quit the rat race by moving to the countryside some years ago, live in a beautiful forest área in my own property, I live simple thats why I dont need a "normal" job, just need 20 hrs per month for a livelihood. 😊

Yeah 9-5 is pretty much hell, it's living on auto pilot. I got out of there a long time ago. I work as a caretaker at a day center for 15 years now and only work for 30 hours a week, so 6 hours per day. Versatile work, stable income and great work/freetime balance. Never going back.
I'm a lawyer and my ego might struggle with that job? I'm a sucker for status and ego, it was drilled in to me by my mother from a young age. I don't like that I'm like this it reduces my options. But maybe my view will change if I keep my current mindset of wanting to get out of 9 to 5 (years ago all I cared about was climbing corp ladder, that is until I got over stressed and had a mental breakdown)
Love it.

I graduated college years ago, but I've always felt this way. I never got used to 9 to 5 work, was too tired to do anything when I got home. It's worse in the autumn/winter season when you wake up and it's dark and you go back home and it's still dark... Then maybe you have free time on Saturday and Sunday. It was stressful and depressing, to say the least
Thanks for your thoughts, bro. I think you’re on the right path
I finally work for a company that I really wanted to be part of. Then, I'm in project mode since 2019 till now and burnout hit me hard during the pandemic as I was grinding hard working from home during that time with back-to-back meetings, deadlines, etc.
It was a big slap in my face since then, I'm trying to explore ways to secure myself financially before taking the leap and explore something that nourishes my soul including exploring youtube to be off service or building community. Thanks for sharing!
100% agree with this. For many years, I struggled with close friends beefing at me to work a 9 to 5, but I just knew that it was not the dream for me. I’m working towards my dreams daily, hoping to make them come to life soon! I worked as a gig contractor for almost a decade, but I’ve gotten many different experiences that a normal job wouldn’t offer. Self growth, expanding skills and variety, beats having worked at the same “barely 9 to 5” for a few years, enduring being at a city that I couldn’t stand, plus no room for growth, a grumpy boss, and they took away my 401(k) as time went on

It is nothing short of total misery for me and I chose to be poor and time rich, the irony is I have friends who worked hard their whole life and have even less than me to show for it. Time is the most valuable thing I will ever own and its worth a whole lot more to me than the 20 or whatever an hour, I even did a job that paid 40 with 10 hour days which would be life changing money for me but the level of anxiety I experienced with the idea of it being anything other than temporary was not worth it. It also screwed my sleep knowing I had to be up in X amount of hours and that if I didn't go to bed AND fall asleep at X time I would be facing a whole day tired AF which ofcourse also made it hard to sleep.
