Title: When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life.
Post by: Ultegra134 on May 20, 2023, 04:08:29 PM
Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.

At least where I'm at, having two days off per week is considered extremely lucky and privileged, especially if it's two days in a row. Personally, I only had one day off per week, and it honestly wasn't enough. On the one hand, I wanted to get things done around the house and rest, but on the other hand, I didn't want to stay inside doing practically nothing to enjoy myself. Thus, the single day off wasn't even close to being enough. Certainly, I'd be better off with two consecutive days off, but still, is that how you want your life to be for the next 10–20 years, or even more?

On the one hand, I don't want to complain; through the last few years of working, I've been on vacation four times, from 2020 to 2022, which isn't bad at all. On the other hand, I'd like to constantly travel and explore new destinations, the majority of which we'll never experience through this way of life.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.

I was just talking about this today with a friend. Our life has just become like this now. We work for 5 days just to enjoy these 2 days and this has just become a normal thing for us which shouldn't actually be normal. But yes I am also unaware about the fact how to get out of this trap. I doubt I'll ever be able to get out of this because 5 days working will never end.

That's life, sometimes things don't go the way we expect but there is no choice to be able to accept it because on average everyone does the same thing working 5 days a week and 2 days off and some even only have 1 day off. And I think that's normal because most are like that and will get used to situations like that and it all depends on how they manage their homework and vacation during the 2-day vacation and also plan holidays when there is a red date.
and i enjoy the state i think the same as you and most importantly after 8 hours of work i still have 16 hours of rest and also with my family and for the next 10 or 20 years i just want to have a business and be boss with some workers and one- my only hope is to make a profit from bitcoin which i do in the long term. And with that I can enjoy life with other things with my family.

What is keeping many people from living a full free life without being tied to a particular job that only gives you 2 days off per week is the means, if you can not afford such life style then you must one way or the other work to sustain your livelihood.
Right now there is nothing more i need than leave my job completely but my income is not going to sustain me much if i don't have a steady income stream, so what to do  ???
Many people want it but only few can afford to leave that way.

Nothing comes for free in this life and we will only reap what we sow, these two words have a very big meaning, there must be a price to be paid for everything, and remember, too much of everything is bad.

If you sleep all day, eat and sleep, you will get obsessed and it's unhealthy, heart disease can follow.

If you eat too much sugar you will get diabetes.

Ups and downs will always be the way of live, I would rather work 6 days a week to have a balanced life than sit my ass down doing nothing and having all the money I needed, working, moving from one place to another is far more healthy and using all your days to relax.

Some people like this, some does it to survive, or others do it because they have no other options. Depending on your need, this could feel like hell or heaven. Also, there's a term that says, you need money in order to make more money. Many choose these 9–5 jobs so that they can save enough money in order to start a business on their own. So if you have a plan and enough asset to start something like that, you can decide to quit your job. But for me, the competition is so high. So grab any opportunity you can get. Have something as your backup and then move onto something new if that involves risks.

I understand your point; the majority of us will go through this lifestyle for the rest of our lives. Personally, I've always had one day off per week, and it wasn't enough. I can't imagine spending the rest of my life with so little time off. Moreover, you don't have 16 hours of free time like you mentioned; add another 8 hours of sleep, eating, and commuting to work and back, and you'll end up with less than 6 hours of free time available on a daily basis. Personally, this isn't enough for me, and I'm going to attempt to find a way to avoid living the rest of my life so limited.

My point is that there should be a better work to life balance, not to be lazy and have everything ready for yourself. Life should be more than just surviving on the bare minimums.

Definitely, as someone who only had one day off, I'd be quite satisfied having every weekend off. However, I don't think I'd be happy doing it for the rest of my life.

This will be a big goal for me and I know, one day I can achieve it.
Working is still the best option to many because this is their way to make money even if they don’t want to spend most of their days working. I see this to become possible if you already have passive income that can pay for your expenses for the rest of your lives, having good investments is the key and living within your means can help as well. Contentment should be the top goal, as living a happy life matters a lot than to having a work and stressing yourself everyday, know how to balance your life and stay healthy, simple life is all what I want right now.

You can take some consolation on the fact that most likely people won't need to work as much in the future. Automation took huge amount of jobs that some of those were replaced by other jobs, but that created employment problems. Next one is the fact that AI is going to take HUGE amount of 9-5 jobs. Combine that with robotics and soon there will be nothing left but onlyfans for us. This might sound cynical but it most likely get people on barricades wanting universal basic income. As rules of work have totally changed, i can see it happening. Even in US where that's basically considered as communism. But when you don't have jobs, what else is there?

This is the rat race and that's why we're just like living day to day just to survive and have bare minimum. As long as there's no change, we'd be on this cage forever. Taking a step to change is a good start if you've discovered something that will push you out of 9-5 jobs. You can have some skills that will make you work freely anytime you wish for. We're in the digital and gig economy where it has been possible plus the understanding to Bitcoin and the crypto market.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.
It's possible but it varies depending on our skills and passion. Don't think that we're doomed for that forever unless you've already accepted your path and that's like to live like that way forever.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way?
I am satisfied with my life for now but that doesn't stop me for wishing and aiming for now.

What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
Ask yourself what's your passion and purpose in life and maybe from there, you'll see some opportunities that would be your ticket to a life changing opportunity. But majority of us already have seen that with Bitcoin but at least for you, there could be something else.

No im not really that satisfied specially ive been working on having that 8-5 job for a decade now but is there something i could do? This is the only way on which i could raise up my family on which you wont really

be having no choice but to deal up with it and accept on whatever things that do happen along the way. If you dont have job then for sure your family would really be suffering and this is something that we dont
really like to happen. We do have those day off which we do wish that it would be that longer but we know that it cant really be just that possible if you are just an employee.
You dont have the rights on making some demands on what are the things that you do like and prefer but we could really get out of this shackle if you are really just that having
other income sources and this could be acquired through investment and businesses on which it could really make you do able to sustain.

Even after retiring, you’ll be facing this vicious cycle if you don’t plan well for your retirement and solely believe on your pension to fend you for the rest of your life. The truth is that we can’t escape this lifestyle unless you’re born with a silver spoon and you’re entitled to all the wealth you’ll ever need throughout your lifetime. I’ve also thought about it several times and I think that’s the only way out of this life.

Everyone will love to have a different life than this where they can do what they want and at anytime they want without anything stopping them. I personally feel you can make that achievable if only you can invest in yourself and become financially undependable, allowing others work and build on your ideas and get paid for that without haven to do anything again.

Of course, I am not happy to spend my life in this kind of working system, but I know that I have to do it and there is no better system than this. However, I have one hope. Its name is Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I have a good opportunity to achieve my economic freedom. That's why I will continue to invest in Bitcoin and one day I will break my chains. I'm making an effort to get tickets for the next train and I hope I can make it.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.

At least where I'm at, having two days off per week is considered extremely lucky and privileged, especially if it's two days in a row.

Of course that's something that the people of today are yearning for. We wanna live out the times just like what our grandpas and grandmas experienced back then. But the ugly truth about it is that this is nigh-impossible in the current state of things. It's really hard considering the fact that most things right now are more expensive. And the wages back then are not just livable, but outright something that you could stand to save a portion with. As of now, you'd be lucky to see people that are not taking two jobs just to make ends meet. Does it mean that these people are lazy or slacking off away from their success? Fuck no. It's more about the current state of things that discourages us from having any fun and forces us to live paycheck to paycheck, weekend to weekend. This is exceptionally visible and apparent in third world countries.

What country do you live in? Here, the leave is 50 days, with the possibility of extending it for two weeks if you are sick. The average leave is two days a week, and the majority get two and a half days during the week with 8 hours per day.
The problem does not lie in the time of work, but rather the enjoyment of what you do. You will not find a person who loves the work he does who fails to go to work every day, or at least he does not enjoy it. When this is true, time does not make a difference, even if you work three hours a day, it will be annoying Extremely.

The solution to get rid of this problem is to create your own business, invest in yourself and your education, and finally save a little money and start investing early.

It is the sad reality of life we do work 5 days a week just to be able to earn for a living to survive our daily lives. We are lucky enough to have a job that can sustain our daily needs and need not to worry for the coming days on where we are going to get money to buy our food. Everyone really needs a vacation or a break but sadly that benefit we have is not enough to have a good vacation and relax for ourselves. The vacation leaves varies from different countries and even much worst in others because i heard the company provides only 5 days paid vacation leave and 5 days paid sick leave. Lucky are the ones who worked for a company who thinks the needs of their employees. Right now i am not satisfied with my life, I am trying my best to work really hard to be able to save for my retirement and to help out my family. Maybe one day I could have all the vacation that i need.

Even my self still the same . 2 days off a week is not enough but we dont have a choice as we are poor and if we dont work we dont have nothing to eat. Even my self right now is  going to burning out as it is very stressful to me and im always tired as I always working late. Though this is really pur sacrifices for our family and we should be thankful that we have a job. Jus imagine others have no have and struggling in life but here we are complaining of being tired. We really have the same feeling but we just think the positive side and continue to work

This is why the new norm is work from home. People are sick of the 9-5 jobs in cubicles where they basically do something online which they can easily do at home.

Hence they work from home and enjoy spending more time with families. Many businesses ended the work from home options and people just quit and found a job elsewhere because they liked that life style.

Who wants to be stuck in traffic for 1 hour then work 9 to 5 and be stuck in traffic for another hour and come home at 6pm.

The solution to get rid of this problem is to create your own business, invest in yourself and your education, and finally save a little money and start investing early.

It sounds very utopian. Everyone understands that finances are needed, and not small ones, in order to have a free life that does not depend on anyone. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in their mouth, but many try to open their own business, which does not always lead to success.
It's easy to say: "Open your own business, invest, and everything about you will be chocolate", but in reality, everything looks different.


So, OP, those moods and depressive thoughts can happen to anyone, but try to see the sun in the little things. You have a vacation, and you have a job to take a break from. The main thing is that you have health; this is the greatest value that needs to be protected.
In my country, when we are visited by decadent thoughts, say: "The main thing is health; we will buy everything else." :)

Me: I don't like 9 to 5 job, I will resign and become a freelancer where I have a flexible working hours.

Also me: Damn, I working more than five days and longer than 8 hours. I can't stay in this job, I will choose become a businessman where I don't need to work.

Also me (again): Shit, now I work for 24/7.

I think if someone who work under other people business and complaint about the working time, the employee is lazy. What make people don't like working for 9 to 5 job is, the payment he get isn't worth or fair with all the dedication or effort he put for the company.

Working for 9 to 5, two days off per weak, have 20 days per year paid time off and the company can fulfill the salary I ask, is a dream for me.

@Ultegra134 - I totally get you, 100%

There are plenty of people who are very happy to be working the 5 day week and
who are able to have a good lifestyle by their own standards.

There are also plenty of people who are unsatisfied with working full time 5 days
per week but cannot see how to break out of the system, so they remain very unhappy,
which is not good for your soul and mentality.

I believe it is quite possible to break free, it will/could mean simplifying the lifestyle
and I'm ok with that. We are surrounded with stuff we actually dont need, we feel to
do things and lead a life we could do without or not miss.

I'm from Greece, and the most you can get is actually 24 days of paid time off. 50 days sounds incredible and completely unrealistic for our standards. I wish I had two days off and 50 days of PTO. I'd be completely satisfied, even though I'd still be working for someone else's company. Creating your own company still doesn't always solve this matter, since you need to have trusted people run it when you're gone, and because it's your own business, you may end up working even longer hours.
This is why the new norm is work from home. People are sick of the 9-5 jobs in cubicles where they basically do something online which they can easily do at home.

Indeed, working from home seems ideal at the moment because of flexible working hours and the fact that you also avoid stressful and time-consuming commuting. The issue with online jobs, though, is that their sectors are still pretty limited.

Hence they work from home and enjoy spending more time with families. Many businesses ended the work from home options and people just quit and found a job elsewhere because they liked that life style.

Who wants to be stuck in traffic for 1 hour then work 9 to 5 and be stuck in traffic for another hour and come home at 6pm.

It is really better to work from home, but again, this depends on the situation. Right now, comparing it to my past job, it is more stressful; it is mentally exhausting, and you know that is more bad than being physically exhausted because, physically, you can just sleep it off for 2 days and it's gone. Being mentally exhausted because of the stress brought to you by your boss is very different. That is really what I've noticed from a physical to an online workspace, but still, it is an advantage if you think about it, but you can't really say that it is easier online as it is more difficult for my end as they are monitoring your doings online unlike in an office set up that you can relax around.

Those who work under others do not have freedom. Then our freedom is held captive by others. We must walk as they walk. You are lucky because where you work you get two days off per week but here we have one day off per week but if the office has a special need we still have to go to work on that day off. Sometimes many people leave their jobs despite having problems in their families because everything goes beyond their endurance. 

We can never expect freedom if we work under others. In order to come out of this subordination, we have to do something ourselves, we have to set up some business organizations where we can let others do the work and we can do our own thing. If you want to go according to your own will, you have to be your own controller.

Escaping 9 to 5 job is really difficult in this type of economic crisis and inflation , to cope up with the expenses you need not 1 more than one job so that you can put food in your table and meet everyday expenses.
Businesses are more hectic than office job hours because that takes all your time either its day or night you have to be alert and present and risk factor is more in business than in office job .
So whatsoever the work you do yes you have to wait for the weekend to relax and give time to yourself or your family.

What to say about this life. It’s really messy in my country. First we don’t have minimum wage system which means we have to earn our bucks based on the salary structure that is given by employer based on our skill set. This means it’s not really enough. Even a PhD holder here starts with such low salary that they are ashamed many times.

What I am referring this to is simpel, due to low salaries and corporate structure here we usually end up working almost 6 days of week. If you are in science field working in laboratory or pharma industry then be ready to forget about Sunday as well.

Those who are like me working normal job along with side hustles will end up working overtime and on weekend too. This ain’t gonna stop soon.

What is keeping many people from living a full free life without being tied to a particular job that only gives you 2 days off per week is the means, if you can not afford such life style then you must one way or the other work to sustain your livelihood.
Right now there is nothing more i need than leave my job completely but my income is not going to sustain me much if i don't have a steady income stream, so what to do  ???
Many people want it but only few can afford to leave that way.
Right now, the more side hustles and investments that are introduced to us, the more eager we want to leave our jobs completely. I know most of the 8-hour job workers here would agree to that. However, if we are the breadwinner in the family, leaving our job is the hardest part. That was my personal experience before. But I realized it’s really up to us how we will change our mindset and take some risks. So I decided to get out from my comfort zone and now I’m living my life the way I always imagined before. Though I’m not really making that huge profits, but what I earned today is much better than what I used to earn way back when I was a full time company employee.

At least where I'm at, having two days off per week is considered extremely lucky and privileged, especially if it's two days in a row. Personally, I only had one day off per week, and it honestly wasn't enough. On the one hand, I wanted to get things done around the house and rest, but on the other hand, I didn't want to stay inside doing practically nothing to enjoy myself. Thus, the single day off wasn't even close to being enough. Certainly, I'd be better off with two consecutive days off, but still, is that how you want your life to be for the next 10–20 years, or even more?
Personally, when I am hooked up with particular job, my problem is not a work time but being unable to sleep and thinking about that work. That's good and bad at the same time, good because I'm able to work enormous hours and don't get depressed but bad because if I have free time, then I become like you, can't enjoy my free time, can't do practically nothing or have fun, then I feel guilty for wasting time.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
There is but it's not your tiny Bitcoin savings that are going to help you escape. I believe that there are moments always in life, tens of years ago real estates were a good way to earn a lot of money for average citizens, for example take Arnold Schwarzenegger, he become a millionaire by real estates. Then it was something different that was paying off well, then it was computer, then it was Bitcoin, now it's TikTok/Instagram and social media platforms. There are moments always, this is what I understood and I am not going to miss the next chance.

What I will say is that the situation is different for everyone, some people actually enjoy what they do, and staying idle is not any better. If you already have the mindset not spend the rest of your life like this, you can set a target for yourself financially and an age you wish to retire from working after setting in place some investments to help you carry on living. You do not need to work until the government's approved retirement age, stop when you wantbut do not stop too quickly before you can handle the situation that will follow.

There's an escape and it's through investing, Bitcoin isn't the only asset that you can invest in to escapa. You can save up and invest in both Bitcoin and other business that are just starting for you to get a good share of the company and become rich in the future if the company becomes successful. You don't have to rely on just one company you can invest in multiple companies.

You don't have to look far, look around you there are many business getting launched. Just do your search and bet on one of then that looks promising to you. Companies that are working on AI tools are good place to invest because the future is shaping towards AI

Life is not all about making money. But we need to enjoy our lives by doing what gives us joy, fulfillment, and pleasure at the right time. But the problem is that if you don't work hard you might end up becoming poor and needy. The economic situation of the world has turned men into machines that have to work for hours to make ends meet. Until the economic situation improves in my country I doubt I will ever be able to enjoy my life. The sad reality is that we might die unhappy because we dedicated the totality of our productive years to working to survive and not to be fulfilled.

People that are fortunate to have rich parents or relatives will be able to live thier dreams with lucrative inheritances. Others that also dare to resign from their job to chase their dreams might be fortunate. Some sportsmen, entertainers, and entrepreneurs took the risk of dumping their job to pursue their passion. Some of them became successful and acquired sustainable wealth that has allowed them to live a fulfilled life. Early bitcoin investors might have earned some money that will make them not depend totally on their jobs for survival.

I worked for a company that only gave me one day off per week, and I was physically and mentally drained. It's quite upsetting that we weren't able to enjoy the things we were supposed to be doing and couldn't even spend enough time with our families. A lack of social life and personal relaxation is quite distressing.
I felt like I was stocked up and not growing, so I decided to take risks and hunt out remote opportunities. From then on, I felt real freedom, where I could enjoy life while working from the comfort of my home on a flexible schedule. I realized that we don't have to exhaust ourselves in work that doesn't allow us to enjoy life. If you feel like you're wasting your days at work, try looking for other flexible opportunities online. We need to make money, but our bodies also require adequate relaxation. Our life ambitions would be meaningless if our bodies gave up. To enjoy our daily life, we must value our mental and physical health. I suppose you just need to move out of your comfort zone and look for other options that suit your needs. Yes, we are underprivileged and must work hard to survive, but we must also be willing to learn new skills so that we may take advantage of more opportunities to earn the money we deserve while still getting the rest we need.

My point is that there should be a better work to life balance, not to be lazy and have everything ready for yourself. Life should be more than just surviving on the bare minimums.
It's sad that everyone really wants to have that kind of balance, but in reality, there's just luck along with a bit of hardwork where you would get that. Unless you have a paying business that can sustain your monthly bills, you just gotta suck it up and do your best to find that perfect company that would offer that W-L Balance. Somehow I got quite lucky being offered with 3x RTO and the rest of 2 days will be WFH with your choice on what day you would go to the office.

-
I recall people saying that there is no "free" in freelancing and I kinda relate to what you just said. I formerly worked as VA and Web Developer in Upwork and starting out was like 24/7 work without pay. Getting that first client is just so painful that you need to spend money just to get a headstart.

Another thing that people don't like working in 9-5 work could also be the culture of the workplace. Office politics sucks a lot for the many although I would hella run if I experienced a single office politics. It's worse than just ending up in a dead-end job.

I'm lucky to not have such a routine, and I don't imagine it for myself. But the downside is that I barely ever get 2 full days off per week, even though generally, I believe that people should work less and rest more.
I think what helps is if you like your job and thus resting is not the only thing you look forward to. I try to do things that I like, even though I could probably do things I like less but which would pay better. My priority is my well-being, feeling like I'm living a life worth living without seeking out the typical expected things like a secure high-paying full-time job, a house, a car etc.
I don't know what sort of skills and experience you have, op, but I do things like teaching, translating, researching, and writing. Each of them could be a full-time job, some could be 9-5 jobs. But I just never go down that road and instead am largely self-employed or seek part-time jobs. Life should bring joy, but I understand that some are less privileged and have fewer options to ensure that they like what they do. To me, it's important to understand first what sort of jobs would bring you joy, what sort of things you're willing to give up for them, and which options are realistic in your particular setting.

Definitely, as someone who only had one day off, I'd be quite satisfied having every weekend off. However, I don't think I'd be happy doing it for the rest of my life.
You can't be successful in life without facing struggles in your life. You are facing hardship right now, but if you can make a savings and create a business on your own, then you will be the boss of yourself. Make enough savings, create a business plan, execute it by giving it your best. I hope you will be successful in your life.
On the other hand, if you choose Bitcoin investment as an option, then that's a long journey. Never think that you will become rich overnight. Have patience and keep this as your backup plan. Meanwhile, focus on doing something else. If one fail, others will remain strong and give you the profits to cover up your losses in case that happens. If both are successful, you can invest the majority of your assets in that to maximize your profits.

Although I am not a white collar jobman at least not yet but not everyone has anything against working everyday if possible, I think we humans has so much softness in us that we want to be lazy all the time, for real humans were meant to go out and work that a biological make-up, even in medicine when you don't do so task the body shut down and some sort of sicknesses begins to take over.

For real trying to make something out for your self financially you need to give up the idea of full time pleasure, that's the obvious Truth, and even the self employed still all need to work hard everyday if not their business would go under.

The best way to survive in this hard financial times is to make the best of both times, make most of the work time you have do it to your best and when you have your leisure time make sure you try take advantage of your free time.

I am grateful to have a job with this digital world, because there are many people out there who want a relaxed job by sitting pretty, there must be risks in the digital world or real work. However, I always introspect with the types that have their own shortcomings, so we can be more grateful. so what we see is not necessarily that it can get better and vice versa for other people. and indeed the division of time is getting narrower when you have a family but it all depends on how to manage time so you don't complain. love the shortcomings that are happening to make it more meaningful

Yeah, i completely agree, i myself can't wait to get to that stage when i will walk away from the 8/9 hours job to just do my thing and be happy with the outcome regardless.
If there are too many dependent, it is very difficult to take that step, i guess the reason why most of us are still stuck. Sometimes getting out of our comfort zone could be the best decision, the hard part is taking that step. But nonetheless, it is a strong thought am really nursing and could happened eventually.

So, OP, those moods and depressive thoughts can happen to anyone, but try to see the sun in the little things. You have a vacation, and you have a job to take a break from.
I quite agree with you on this. We all can't eat our cake and have it; although I can relate with the Op's dismal mood because these things can eventually wear one out due to how boring and static the cycle can be .

On the other hand, I'd like to constantly travel and explore new destinations, the majority of which we'll never experience through this way of life.


Hahaha This is traders delight. Working round the clock doesn't give you this kind of life to travel, explore and experience new countries, villages or towns, get fresh stories and new environment. No you won't get such life if you keep working for someone.

I believe there are only two sets of category of persons that can life that life you are longing for

1. The only way that can happen to you if you are focus is only when you invest, establish yourself to become employer of labour.

2. To be a profiting online trader.


Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever?


Things have changed with age and modernity, so people are moving away from dominant jobs to itinerant jobs, I believe this is a way to escape.

Ethereum is a very good project to accumulate along side with Bitcoin, Ethereum is the first altcoins to come in mind when people want to invest in other coins that isn't Bitcoin. Ethereum has been around for a very long time that the developers will render keep working on the project than scam their investors so you'll safe investing in Ethereum. It also has potential for profits in the next bull market.

Invest in Ethereum bit not the scam tokens that others are launching by using the Ethereum blockchain, Ethereum is highly recognized and listed on all exchange for easy selling. Ethereum is likely to reach a new peak of $10k but that all depends on how well Bitcoin does.

A good advantage that I see is ETH was being used by other developers to create their projects and with that it will be a continuously updating for the benefits of the end users, meaning to say that it will continue to gain support though competitions are already around and there are other blockchain system that is being introduced but as the first alternative coin that would come to your mind after Bitcoin there's a big chance that investing to this coin will allow you to earn decently.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.

Here are some ways:

1) Quit your work and work on freelance. That gives you freedom to travel.

2) Take jobs that require travelling. Like vlogging.

3) Invest money in stocks , grow it and then retire. Then travel as much as you want.

Of course, I am not happy to spend my life in this kind of working system, but I know that I have to do it and there is no better system than this. However, I have one hope. Its name is Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. I have a good opportunity to achieve my economic freedom. That's why I will continue to invest in Bitcoin and one day I will break my chains. I'm making an effort to get tickets for the next train and I hope I can make it.

There is a better system. A system where you run a business doing what you like, not working for someone else, but for yourself.
I had this conversation with a number of my friends who work in corporations and they all hate it. They dream of owning a farm, or renovating furniture, breeding animals, but you have to make money somewhere. They all come from normal or poor families where they have no chance of getting money or properties from their parents and corporations pay well. After 20 years you're tired, nervous, feel much older than you should, but you can save up.

I had this strike of luck that I bought bitcoin early and it allowed me to move to a minimum wage job, that takes just a few hours every day and allows me to work from home. I usually work in the evenings and at night and all of my days are free, where I can do whatever I want. IMO that's economic freedom, but I also understand that for many people it's out of reach.

Many people spend weekends on useless things, they think that weekends are the time to party and waste money, they go to far and expensive tourist attractions so that when the weekend is over or before receiving their salary they have to be in debt because of the money in savings run out. it's time for us to use it every day for something useful.

Two days off a week is the culture of working in the government in my country and has been going on for a long time, this kind of work culture is set by the system and they have to follow and there is no room for complaining, even though the work is a bit tiring to think about, there is no other way than enjoy it and some people can't work with a system like this, so they choose to build a business or other jobs that are considered more flexible in managing it. For me, who graduated in economics, this is actually not fun and I prefer a job that I build with my own system and rules.

The life we live is sometimes full of mysteries and complaining is not a solution to get out of problems, I also have a small amount of savings in bitcoin and try to increase as much as possible whenever I have money to invest. I'm just trying to enjoy a normal life and don't want to force something I can't do, sometimes trying to live a simpler life is much more fun than trying to be someone else and forcing investments with incompetence.

That's life, sometimes things don't go the way we expect but there is no choice to be able to accept it because on average everyone does the same thing working 5 days a week and 2 days off and some even only have 1 day off. And I think that's normal because most are like that and will get used to situations like that and it all depends on how they manage their homework and vacation during the 2-day vacation and also plan holidays when there is a red date.
and i enjoy the state i think the same as you and most importantly after 8 hours of work i still have 16 hours of rest and also with my family and for the next 10 or 20 years i just want to have a business and be boss with some workers and one- my only hope is to make a profit from bitcoin which i do in the long term. And with that I can enjoy life with other things with my family.

It's great that you enjoy your current state and have a vision for your future. Having a long-term plan, such as starting a business and becoming your own boss, can provide a sense of purpose and motivation. Investing in Bitcoin as part of your long-term strategy can be a viable option, but it's important to remember that cryptocurrencies, like any investment, carry their own risks. It's advisable to conduct thorough research, understand the market dynamics, and make informed decisions based on your risk tolerance and financial goals.

Breakthrough? Create your own business. That is the only way way to break the cycle. But as we all know, not all people has the capability and eagerness. Some are contented with earning 5 digits from their work and there's nothing wrong with that. But if you are seeking for more and tired of waking up early just to be stressed out for the rest of the day then be your own company. It'll be a win-win situation. Try and succeed or try and learn. If you'd succeed then good but if you don't, then for sure you'd appreciate what you have at your job. It is not easy to run a business. If it is, then everyone should be a millionaire by now. But that's now how simple things are.

What is keeping many people from living a full free life without being tied to a particular job that only gives you 2 days off per week is the means, if you can not afford such life style then you must one way or the other work to sustain your livelihood.
Right now there is nothing more i need than leave my job completely but my income is not going to sustain me much if i don't have a steady income stream, so what to do  ???
Many people want it but only few can afford to leave that way.

The desire for a more flexible and independent lifestyle, where individuals are not tied to a specific job or work schedule, is something many people aspire to. However, financial considerations often play a significant role in determining one's ability to live such a lifestyle.

Covid has introduced us to this new life work from home and majority of the world is loving this idea because of less hectic and tiring routines and plus side is productivity rate is full in this type of job . You can never say if they are working from home that means they are not fulfilling their tasks .
This 9 to 5 job is getting very exhausting with each passing month and people are looking to get rid of this .

It's not how life should be lived. However, it is due to the way the system has been set up that society may continue to develop and move in a dynamic manner. When I think about it the way you do, I also get sad and depressed, but what makes me happy is returning every day to my family and the sincere and loving friends I have in my life.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.

I am not aware of any other way to break free from this vicious loop that you have described. You can work whenever, however, and wherever you choose if you run your own firm. Simply put, you are in charge of you. Your bitcoin savings wouldn't be sufficient, but if you learn how to trade cryptocurrencies, you can live off of your bitcoins for the rest of your life.

Some people like this, some does it to survive, or others do it because they have no other options. Depending on your need, this could feel like hell or heaven. Also, there's a term that says, you need money in order to make more money. Many choose these 9–5 jobs so that they can save enough money in order to start a business on their own. So if you have a plan and enough asset to start something like that, you can decide to quit your job. But for me, the competition is so high. So grab any opportunity you can get. Have something as your backup and then move onto something new if that involves risks.

True. It’s not that most of the people wanted to work for the rest of their lives but since it’s their only way for survival, then they don’t have any choice but to keep the job and work 9-5. However, for some who have been making good compensation and are satisfied with their jobs, maybe working on weekdays do not really annoy them at all. But I believe every worker has always its choice. If he has the means to survive without sticking to his job and just open a business for his own, and he can manage it well, maybe leaving his job can be very possible and find his luck and wealth in his new business.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
Two days off a week is the culture of working in the government in my country and has been going on for a long time, this kind of work culture is set by the system and they have to follow and there is no room for complaining, even though the work is a bit tiring to think about, there is no other way than enjoy it and some people can't work with a system like this, so they choose to build a business or other jobs that are considered more flexible in managing it. For me, who graduated in economics, this is actually not fun and I prefer a job that I build with my own system and rules.

The life we live is sometimes full of mysteries and complaining is not a solution to get out of problems, I also have a small amount of savings in bitcoin and try to increase as much as possible whenever I have money to invest. I'm just trying to enjoy a normal life and don't want to force something I can't do, sometimes trying to live a simpler life is much more fun than trying to be someone else and forcing investments with incompetence.
Two days off a week is really something that good or better and the best thing is that you've been being paid or having that fixed monthly income if you do really work on government agencies, but how about into those

private sectors? For sure it would really be a no work no pay kind of scheme which it isnt really that shocking anymore. It turns out that you would really be needing to work in order to get that maximum pay or something you wouldnt really be liking with those deductions which is something that it is really that we do like. As for having a 9-5 or 8-5 job most commonly on which it isnt really that shocking anymore.
We dont have any choice but to deal with it because if we dont then for sure lots of things would be affected. You would really be a slave for the rest of your life until you would retire.
This is why some people would really be having reconsideration on finding up ways on breaking up this chain and this is via investment and other dealings which could potentially give you other
source of income.

Me: I don't like 9 to 5 job, I will resign and become a freelancer where I have a flexible working hours.

Also me: Damn, I working more than five days and longer than 8 hours. I can't stay in this job, I will choose become a businessman where I don't need to work.

Also me (again): Shit, now I work for 24/7.

I think if someone who work under other people business and complaint about the working time, the employee is lazy. What make people don't like working for 9 to 5 job is, the payment he get isn't worth or fair with all the dedication or effort he put for the company.

Working for 9 to 5, two days off per weak, have 20 days per year paid time off and the company can fulfill the salary I ask, is a dream for me.
I think it's not an easy thing to survive be it a 9-5 job or a freelancer work.

This is why the new norm is work from home. People are sick of the 9-5 jobs in cubicles where they basically do something online which they can easily do at home.

Hence they work from home and enjoy spending more time with families. Many businesses ended the work from home options and people just quit and found a job elsewhere because they liked that life style.

Who wants to be stuck in traffic for 1 hour then work 9 to 5 and be stuck in traffic for another hour and come home at 6pm.

It is really better to work from home, but again, this depends on the situation. Right now, comparing it to my past job, it is more stressful; it is mentally exhausting, and you know that is more bad than being physically exhausted because, physically, you can just sleep it off for 2 days and it's gone. Being mentally exhausted because of the stress brought to you by your boss is very different. That is really what I've noticed from a physical to an online workspace, but still, it is an advantage if you think about it, but you can't really say that it is easier online as it is more difficult for my end as they are monitoring your doings online unlike in an office set up that you can relax around.
For some, that could be more stressful like what you’ve personally experienced. But I guess majority still enjoy the work from home set up since they can manage to balance their work and family to keep on going smoothly. However, in my case, I find it more fulfilling on my part since I am the boss of my own with my little business and still have side hustles that pay me with a good compensation. Life is a choice, but for some who cannot leave their jobs, maybe they just don’t have the courage to do it because their finances are not yet stable.

The solution to get rid of this problem is to create your own business, invest in yourself and your education, and finally save a little money and start investing early.

It sounds very utopian. Everyone understands that finances are needed, and not small ones, in order to have a free life that does not depend on anyone. Not everyone is born with a golden spoon in their mouth, but many try to open their own business, which does not always lead to success.
It's easy to say: "Open your own business, invest, and everything about you will be chocolate", but in reality, everything looks different.


So, OP, those moods and depressive thoughts can happen to anyone, but try to see the sun in the little things. You have a vacation, and you have a job to take a break from. The main thing is that you have health; this is the greatest value that needs to be protected.
In my country, when we are visited by decadent thoughts, say: "The main thing is health; we will buy everything else." :)
we struggle so much  for Utopia
and then we also know that this world doesnot exist. However struggle is real.

When people try to define how people should live life then that becomes a problem. There is no general way for people to live their lives. Everybody should do what works for them. There are people who like a 9-5, there are people who like working the night shifts, there are people who like running their own business, and there are also people like me who like to work from home. The bottom line is, everybody has to work to make a living. So however you want to work to make a living, do it.
If you feel you're in the wrong line of work, then change if you can, but if you can't change, make the most of the one you've got.

A misconception people have is that "if you have your own business then you'll have enough time for yourself". That's false, except it's not an ambitious business. Because if you are actually building a business that will go all the way up, you'll work twice as hard.

When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life

Maybe when we don't have to live in the reality and stick with our own fantasy? Perhaps being dead or being an old retired pensioner are the only way I guess LOL!
I totally get your point because most probably we are all asking the same question whenever we get tired, exhausted, and drained after a long week of work. This is like a daily reminder that reality sucks.
Though there are a handful of ways where you can travel while you're working. One of these is having a job where it doesn't need for you to go the office, but to work remotely. I've seen a lot of freelancers doing this kind of routine. However, it still doesn't stop the 'living for the weekend" and escaping 9-5 life cycle.

Having a decent job that pays a good compensation is already a blessing. That's why some have managed to keep their jobs even if the jobs  sometimes create big pressures on their personal lives. However, for those who have been working at a toxic environment, their only hope is to finally get out from their jobs and just find some other alternatives to make them survive and become profitable in their chosen career. That just proves that you are the only one responsible for your life's choices. If you stay with it, that means you have to suit yourself and find contentment whatever life's opportunities give you.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.

At least where I'm at, having two days off per week is considered extremely lucky and privileged, especially if it's two days in a row. Personally, I only had one day off per week, and it honestly wasn't enough. On the one hand, I wanted to get things done around the house and rest, but on the other hand, I didn't want to stay inside doing practically nothing to enjoy myself. Thus, the single day off wasn't even close to being enough. Certainly, I'd be better off with two consecutive days off, but still, is that how you want your life to be for the next 10–20 years, or even more?

On the one hand, I don't want to complain; through the last few years of working, I've been on vacation four times, from 2020 to 2022, which isn't bad at all. On the other hand, I'd like to constantly travel and explore new destinations, the majority of which we'll never experience through this way of life.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.

I'm an entrepreneur and I don't know what 9 to 5 means for almost 20 years! Of course I'm not just chilling all the time, I have to work and I work hard but I'm working remotely and I can choose when to work, for example I can start at 9 PM and go on until midnight or I can have a day off on Monday and then work on Sunday etc...  8)

The decision relies on you. You are the one take charge of your own life so you have make decisions that you will not regret in the future. If you stick to your job, that would be a lot better since the more sources of income you have, the bigger profits you will gain and earn. But if you get out from your comfort zone and explore other life's opportunities, then go but always be responsible of the results of your own actions. After all, we don't want to live our life in vain, we need to seek for our satisfaction in life and if it means living our current job, then so be it.

only could stop once we become financial independent but generally for someone that works 9-5 that would never happen.
mainly because the wage aren't sufficient enough in building financial to be free from working, heck even for daily needs it hardly sufficient.
moreover, you'd be too busy that you can't do some business in your free time, quite literally you are putting so much focus on something that don't even give you good money.
the only way is you invested in stocks and cryptocurrency but then again will the returns will be that much? maybe starting new business from scratch and resigning is some other way need to be considered.

I actually agree with you it is hard to start our own business and we actually need capital and lot of thing including knowledge. Resigned from 9-5 job is risky too if we don't have money.

Of course, I'm not quite satisfied with my life now, but what to do besides keep living it and design better finances like investing in Bitcoin for the future can be better, but of course, it takes a long time and can be more than 5 years or even 10 years and before what is targeted is achieved to be able to stop all these boring routines, it is much better to keep working and being grateful with all these routines.

My method is to continue to invest and increase income so that in the next few years I can live a calmer life, sacrifice the present time for future life, and not try to enjoy life to excess by spending money beyond the budget even though it will damage the financial plans that have been made.

Here's the unvarnished truth. Life isn't a vibrant parade of magical creatures beneath candy-colored rainbows; it's more like a strategic battle of wits against the clock and our inevitable fate. The silver lining? The next move is yours!

Have your ears been graced with the chant of the FIRE tribe? It's a shorthand for "Financial Independence, Retire Early". The essence? To save and invest with Spartan-like discipline - picture shaving off a whopping 50% to 75% of your income - all to bask in the golden years while still spry and young.

Now, Bitcoin won't magically transform you into a midnight millionaire, but it's a vital cog in the machinery of a diversified investment strategy. Consider it a culinary expedition - a pinch of side business, a heaping of stocks, a slice of real estate, and a drizzle of Bitcoin. After all, wasn't it the slow-and-steady tortoise who nabbed the laurels, not the hasty hare?

It's easier to dream for a lifestyle where you have all the time to go out and come back home whenever you feel like or decide to travel around the world if you can afford it, but you got to be sure that this won't affect your source of income, if you are working under someone or company you can't do this because you will be replaced and you will become jobless, make sure you are making money yourself without working for any company first, your source of income must be flourishing, that's when you will be able to live your life the way you wanted.

The main reason why men are not living the dream is because of work and making money, not until you find a way to work and make money by yourself without working for anyone, you won't be able to do as you like, jobs sometimes feel like a prison, since men has responsibility, this will tie them to the job till their old days.

You made a valid point mate, but by making money by yourself doesn't mean you should quit your job and start trying to become an entrepreneur or self employed individual, business owner etc, you'll fail if you don't have the qualities of a good entrepreneur. You can still be working your job, get double shifts or side hustle then save the extra money you're making and start planning your escape.

Investing is the only way that you can make money yourself, without an experiment. You don't need much experience to buy Bitcoin or other valuable assets and hold. To start a business, you'll need experience or you'll fail, increasing your income and investing is better.

Yes It's really fun for them and if you know much more, the income they get is always not enough because of the impact of the loans they take out at the bank. The private sector in finance and some other fields also have something in common and they get two days off a week, except for overtime when the big day is approaching and they will work half day.

private sectors? For sure it would really be a no work no pay kind of scheme which it isnt really that shocking anymore. It turns out that you would really be needing to work in order to get that maximum pay or something you wouldnt really be liking with those deductions which is something that it is really that we do like.

That's just talking about opportunities and what I see they enjoy the job even though the salary they get is standard and never more. This kind of work is more dominated by people aged over 40 and even though there are also a few percent of young people now, what are some reasons why they choose this kind of work?

1. It is difficult to find other job opportunities and this is the most sought-after job in the area where I live.
2. Salaries and benefits have been arranged and make them no longer have to think about entering old age.
3. Working in a government agency can guarantee their life even if it doesn't give them wealth.

Of course when they choose this kind of job, the system will regulate work patterns and they will work every day according to their duties and if asked why they have to choose this job because other sectors of the jobs available are not much better than working in the government. But since the last decade this job has become increasingly difficult and there are many requirements that you must meet when applying for work, starting from tests and other conditions so that we are accepted.

For me it has always been not very interesting to work with a system like this, because we cannot manage work time according to our own system, so we prefer to work in the entrepreneurial sector with simple steps and start from small things, even though at this time has not made me a rich man, at least I manage my own time, working hours and employees.

Just do the right kind of works, the ones you enjoy & love no matter the pay and you wouldn't feel that way anymore. Doing such works would be like entrainment or having fun that you may never need a pay time off except for relaxation or rest. Weekend and night rest should be enough time for proper rest.


If you love and enjoy your job you will kind of be addicted to it to such an extent of suffering withdrawal symptoms when you stop working for some days.

This norm that we currently have is truly difficult for most of the people but there's just no other choice for most since we all need to survive. Yes, you can choose to start your own businesses or try anything that generates money while you sleep but does everyone even have the required time and money to dedicate on that? Especially those that only have minimum wages and are even breadwinners. Most say that you have to take a risk if you want to succeed which isn't wrong by the way. The only problem is that if it isn't just your well-being that you are risking but also the well-being of the people relying on you. And even if it's just you, not everyone really succeeds. Some run out money, hope, faith and even time.

But whichever the case, everything still depends on the perspective and attitude of a person towards life itself. That is why there are people who achieve their dreams and people who only manages to survive.

that is why having a stable job and having stable income is really good with that kind of situation because there are really times that it is not good profit in cryptocurrency that is why others tend to have another source of income but again there are times that is good that can last you few months or years but if you do have family to feed then having a stable jobs is best

It seems difficult to get out of the routine that you have been doing for years because when you get out of that routine, it means you have to leave the job that has supported your life. Even though we seem to hate the job, we have to admit that it is the job that has provided the greatest support in our lives.

But I think there is a way out of that circle of routine because you already know crypto and you can use it as your retirement later. If you've invested in Bitcoin (I'm sure you have) as well as altcoins, you can expect to make big profits during altcoin seasons and bull runs. You just save the profit and use it when you retire and keep working as usual until your retirement comes.

But if you think that the profits you can make later in the altcoin season and bull run could provide more money than your salary for years, you can apply for early retirement and enjoy the benefits of your crypto.

Satisfied or dissatisfied, like it or not, this is a choice we make and we have another choice, which is to invest in crypto. And I suggest you stay optimistic about having more Bitcoin for your retirement later. You will surely smile enjoying retirement later by having Bitcoin in your hands.

Many people feel imprisoned in the cycle of working for a job and having little time for personal fulfillment or following their hobbies. It is critical to build a growth and change-oriented attitude. Be open to new chances, pursue personal improvement, and never stop learning. Life is a journey, and you can make it more full and enjoyable by being adaptive and open-minded. There is no generic answer, making incremental changes to align your life with your beliefs and pursue your hobbies can lead to a more fulfilling and purposeful living.

Another thing that people don't like working in 9-5 work could also be the culture of the workplace. Office politics sucks a lot for the many although I would hella run if I experienced a single office politics. It's worse than just ending up in a dead-end job.
Yeah office politics sucks, there's always a crab mentality or forcing you to play dirty, working on someone company will not make you develop if you keep thinking about other people's opinion. If you're different from them, you will get bullied and discrimination, just because you're good and put more dedication than them.

But become a businessman has similar risk too, it's not office politics, but there are more risks to make your business bankrupt.

A freelancer is more comfortable if you want to avoid external problem and your mental health would be healthier.

It's not how life should be lived. However, it is due to the way the system has been set up that society may continue to develop and move in a dynamic manner. When I think about it the way you do, I also get sad and depressed, but what makes me happy is returning every day to my family and the sincere and loving friends I have in my life.
As a person who managed to get out of that life before, I can tell you that this side is not that great. I mean we are talking about a situation where you need to constantly work and that means that when you have your own business, every hour is a working hour. This is not a problem if you are a wealthy person and that means you could keep grinding as easily as you want.

However, if you end up with some trouble and not really make that much, like lets say you make as much money as a salary you could earn, then it would be terrible. I am making nearly twice as much as a salary so I am happy, but in no means I am rich, I am just doing alright, I can't really go out and like do whatever I want, I still have so many things I need and can't even afford them. So all in all, if you are spending all your life and still not making enough money, then 9-5 could be better for some people.

well not all workers get a good day off. If you hear someone has up to two days off a week that I think it's a decent enough place to work because in my area they don't even allow Sundays off. some workers actually only get days off when they are sick, they will not get money when they are not working, there are no days off, if a day off is the same as no money. this looks annoying i prefer to open my own business and looking for additional in crypto investment.

I dislike working as officer in some location that I wouldn't normally go. I think this life creates unhappy people. I always treated Bitcoin as a way to leave this kind of life. My main purpose in life was always to liberate myself from full time work as soon as possible. Now I spent 6 years of my life working. When I turn and look back I see that only time I was bit happy was covid days when I was paid without working. I learned importance of generating money in life so I can only do things that I always wanted to. Only tiny minority hits this goal. I wish I was part of them.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.
Dear Op, it looks like, you have been motivated by Andrew Tate's talks, HAHA. as i have seen some videos of him in which he talks about Matrix. Means, the same as your post. , people are stuck in this life and in daily work, living the same life every day. Some of them, Like you, got tired of it but i have seen only a few who really enjoy this life. As, according to my vision, i think we should not think that we are stuck in the matrix but instead we are just burdened up with so much work and less rest has encouraged us to make some bold moves that we don't want. Such as resigning from that work.
Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
No, i am not satisfied with this type of life but i have not in any job which goes from 9 to 5. But i have seen 98% of people in my surrounding, who are working 9 to 5 and earning not so much money that they can not fulfill their own wishes. Which really makes me think to avoid such a lifestyle. So, i find a way of online earning through freelancing, but you know what, that is way more worse than a traditional job.

Because you have to work day and night to get clients and once you get clients you have to win their trust by working hard and with honesty. This also makes me furious because i have to work way harder in freelancing. But there are its own benefits too, like if i want to take a break from it, all i have to do is save some money and can ignore all of my clients. If you do not like the way you are living then instead of asking us you must ask yourself that which type of life you want. Because in my thoughts, you must not be in favor of getting numerous leaves and less work with more money. And we all know that is so fictional (haha). So all i can say, buckle up and work hard to achieve something. or you can make some new innovation and collect funds on it and can become an entrepreneur.

If I interpret the circle that you mentioned, it is someone's ambition when they see the market is crashing but they don't have enough funds and are responsible for entering. the alternative is to borrow again in the hope of covering the lost investment value due to cut losses.

Very relatable and real. I admit Investments like Bitcoin can be another option but always involve risks and the results cannot be predicted with certainty. I also feel that even though the percentage is small until now, with uncertain market conditions, my investment estimate has decreased, especially if circumstances force me to leave the market with a loss percentage of almost 30%. This is the trade trip and patience is required here.

Breakthrough? Create your own business. That is the only way way to break the cycle. But as we all know, not all people has the capability and eagerness. Some are contented with earning 5 digits from their work and there's nothing wrong with that. But if you are seeking for more and tired of waking up early just to be stressed out for the rest of the day then be your own company. It'll be a win-win situation. Try and succeed or try and learn. If you'd succeed then good but if you don't, then for sure you'd appreciate what you have at your job. It is not easy to run a business. If it is, then everyone should be a millionaire by now. But that's now how simple things are.
Creating your own company has other issues; there's no panacea when it comes to businesses. You're taking far greater risks; you may work even longer than 8 hours and suffer from stress due to all the responsibilities; there's a great chance that you might have even less personal time, especially during the first few months of its foundation. You'll escape the 9-to-5 reality, but you might find yourself in another loophole.

Andrew Tate's videos are rubbish, and I'm certainly not motivated by them. It's simple logic that I'd rather have a more thrilling life than constantly look forward to something coming to an end. Every day we're anticipating when our shift will end, when the week will be over to have the day off, for Christmas or Easter vacations, and time flies by without us acknowledging how important that is.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.

At least where I'm at, having two days off per week is considered extremely lucky and privileged, especially if it's two days in a row. Personally, I only had one day off per week, and it honestly wasn't enough. On the one hand, I wanted to get things done around the house and rest, but on the other hand, I didn't want to stay inside doing practically nothing to enjoy myself. Thus, the single day off wasn't even close to being enough. Certainly, I'd be better off with two consecutive days off, but still, is that how you want your life to be for the next 10–20 years, or even more?

On the one hand, I don't want to complain; through the last few years of working, I've been on vacation four times, from 2020 to 2022, which isn't bad at all. On the other hand, I'd like to constantly travel and explore new destinations, the majority of which we'll never experience through this way of life.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.

Spot the American? Many countries in places like Europe give people 30+ days off a year, which is 6 weeks and companies can sometimes boost that up to 35 years with long service thrown in. That allows people in those countries plenty of time to explore new places or just chill out for a week. Do not think everyone in the world faces this dilemma. Maybe you should also be grateful for 20 days, because you might not have any safety net at all in the poorest countries of the world with zero holiday built into their contracts (if they're lucky enough to have such a thing). Enjoy those weekends and make the most of them, but in reality you need to learn how to invest in companies who will generate a passive income for you.

Speaking about bitcoin investment then it wouldnt really be just that right that you should be anticipating that your investment on it would really be setting you free on a 9-5 job because it would really be basing or depending on how much you had put in or invested on it.You cant really just make yourself that financially free if you do able to hit up  2x-10x maximum with your Bitcoin holdings even if you do have some significant savings and this is why its not really that good on having this kind of mindset or belief because it cant really be just that possible. In life reality on which we do really need to have a job to make ourselves able to
survive on day to day living which it is really a normal thing but there are ones who are really tending to get away from this cycle of life on which they would really be working for the rest of their entire lives.
This is why they would really be going or taking into a path on which they do seem that gives out chances on having that freedom and would be able to enjoy their life more without minding about
those dayoffs or whatsoever in correlation with having a dayjob.

I am not satisfied with what I have achieved - but I thank to God. I really regret not being an obedient servant, after all whatever I have now is only temporary. We live in a mortal world and we don't only live to eat, drink, sleep and work, but we have a responsibility for ourselves, life and the hereafter. At least that's what my spiritual master taught me - and I believe that.

The routine of life must be carried out - but don't forget to be grateful for all the blessings. Honestly that I really feel that we need to have a better sense of gratitude than before, this will give peace of mind and heart in living life. But before that, don't regret life - but we have to get better day by day.

I feel content and accepted in my current lifestyle, especially when it matches my own experiences and expectations. Even though my job seems a bit more stressful now than it was before the pandemic, I still feel fortunate to still be able to work compared to many others. I also have a dream to travel everywhere with my family and friends, but with my busy work schedule, it is difficult to fulfill it at the moment, but I will still try to accumulate assets. Then there will come a time when dreams will come true. Trying to save time together as well as managing work will help a lot.

You know, we are often educated with same formula since getting admission in school, weekdays school and weekend off. For most people, cycle repeats until person retires, by then one is too old to few things. Solution I see is this Mark Twain's quote, "Find a job you enjoy doing, and you will never have to work a day in your life."

You said you enjoy travelling, why not try to turn that passion into source of income, for example you could post your travel experiences on sites like hive.blog — I have seen users making decent $ from travel blogs there, you could also learn digital skills that allow you to work from anywhere, and live nomadic life-style. YouTube and Wordpress blog are also usual options.

If we always complain then we will be sad and never grateful, many people are busy working without thinking about anything else during holidays, if you feel bored with the work routine then it's time to stop and look for another life, for example being a farmer or raising goats, live otherwise variations are boring.

Living the kind of lifestyle we want for ourself, having vacations and exploring the world whenever we want to doesn't seem possible working as an employee. You already have your calendar planned by your employer and for you distorting that calendar to suit yourself is tantamount to risking a loss of your job.

Time freedom is what mainly motivate many people to turn out as entrepreneurs as they are entirety in charge of their schedules without having to get a ratification from any boss before spending their time where and when. 

OP if you want to live the kind of lifestyle you desire then being an employee won't grant you that, while on the other hand becoming a successful entrepreneur in such a competitive business environment as we have today isn't an easy task and many persons fair for failure of it and decides to settle as an employee with little or no vacation at all.

It may not be enough but it's good to have bitcoin as a retirement plan no matter how little but it would be more safer for you if you diversify your retirement plans into other investment too apart from bitcoin alone. Am not trying to be pessimistic but careful, no one presently can be really certain about the future of bitcoin in the next 15-20 years ahead.

No one is satisfied with a pattern of lifestyle that doesn't give him much time to spend for himself and family. As much as we ain't satisfied we should be contented while making plans to raise our standard of living, hence our lack of contentment might lead us to get involved into illicit deals that might end us in prison or worst still death.

What is keeping many people from living a full free life without being tied to a particular job that only gives you 2 days off per week is the means, if you can not afford such life style then you must one way or the other work to sustain your livelihood.
Right now there is nothing more i need than leave my job completely but my income is not going to sustain me much if i don't have a steady income stream, so what to do  ???
Many people want it but only few can afford to leave that way.
For now, people only work just to survive. Rather than leaving their job and find nothing to sustain their basic needs,  i guess it’s just better to stay with their job and continue to work. And they get used to it after working for years. However, what we make in life is always our choice. If you want to change what you are used to, then go out from your comfort zone. There are a lot of side hustles that is paying well, you just have to stabilize your finances first so that if this side hustle will gone in an instant, you will not starve to death.

I have a very strong theory on it let me show it, This is just because of the education system which is particularly designed to trap & train the labor by limiting their mindset and training them for working from Day to night with loyalty. You can call the education system the modern slavery concept. Why I am so confident about it because,

The teacher teaching you about business is not a Bussniesman the Teacher teaching your science is not a scientist, and the teacher teaching you any of the subjects is not his profession so what he shares with us is in the name of knowledge and experience. This is the reason in my view that they limit our mindset by educating us with a fixed syllabus and they just train us to be a loyal employees.

We are the ones who do make out such choice and this would really be varying on someones preference or targets in life because there are people who are really that just contented on what they do currently have
even though its already that hard but still they arent thinking on something that could improve their lives. Some would really be having those kind of hopes or approach that they should really be engaging into something
to make their lives better. You cant really make yourself able to improve if you wont do anything to make things change.

We are really that thriving on going into our jobs or dayjobs on which it is really just that normal that you would be needing to adapt or else you would really be finding yourself on a struggle on just having that
3x a day mean if you dont have a job. How much more if you do have your own family? For sure you wont really like on seeing them struggling just because you dont have income.
In order to have a good life then you should really be sensible in towards your actions and really be  having that kind of progress in life.

Everybody desires a job that allows them to spend a lot of time relaxing and engaging in other activities, but the circumstances at our workplace prevent us from doing that because our life savings are reliant on the pay that is paid to us each month. which we now compensate for the work that was compensated for our entire time.

Working for someone else's orders can be demanding and exhausting. It's the same as giving that individual control of your entire being. When you're at work, you can't take any action on your own without getting their approval. That appears to be an unfulfilled dream and aspiration in life.

i understand that most of us can't escape the 9-5 daily grind. but if you set your goals to be financially independent, you will save as much money as you can. and look for other options that you think you can earn passive income. investing in real-estate may be a good one. as the value usually increases over time. or look for a small business that you think you can grow with. your goal is to find an alternative option that will possibly give you option for early retirement.

Some people like this, some does it to survive, or others do it because they have no other options. Depending on your need, this could feel like hell or heaven. Also, there's a term that says, you need money in order to make more money. Many choose these 9–5 jobs so that they can save enough money in order to start a business on their own. So if you have a plan and enough asset to start something like that, you can decide to quit your job. But for me, the competition is so high. So grab any opportunity you can get. Have something as your backup and then move onto something new if that involves risks.


I think it mostly depends on how and during which time you were raised and started working. Many people have gotten used to 9-5 jobs and the newer generation has gotten used to better conditions and less working times. If you were to travel back 100 years, you would find children in coal mines working 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and for them it would be considered normal. Even though today it is considered abuse. Even for adults.

So the older generation is used to one way of life and the younger generation to another.

Personally, I believe you should only work as much as you need. But to figure out how much you need you first must ask yourself how much money you need.

A single parent, raising 3 children is going to be under more pressure to earn more and work more than a single bachelor, living in a cheap housing situation.

I like that some companies and I know even certain countries have been looking at the 4 day a week work week.  I laugh whenever I hear like a YouTube video short that's some motivational speaker who says something profound like "if you work a 9-5 Monday through Friday you're a sucker", shit like that is a joke.  Capitalism is probably the best form of government trade and that requires this type of work ethic/hours.  How else can it be done? Sure some people get lucky, but it's just not realistic to not have the 9-5 for most companies and businesses.

Doing the same thing and repeating it for a long time will certainly make us bored, when I was at school I thought that the fun thing would be to work in an office from 8 am to 5 pm then I could take a weekend off, but after almost 5 years I experiencing it is indeed boring, but because I need income.

I'm sad for those who are working day and night for a meager salary. But I'm more sad of the fact that many of them have already embraced that kind of life, that they are already somehow satisfied with it. They seem to completely accept that they don't have a choice.

I don't agree, of course. Right now, I don't have a job. I earn a little from some side hustles. I don't have much money but at least I'm not a battered worker. I can sleep and wake up at any hour of the day. I can spend hours with friends everyday talking about just anything. I can travel. I can have a few bottles of cold beer every now and then.

I don't think people should drain all their energy working. In this age, we can be smart workers. Permanent employment is sometimes a huge hindrance to living.

Many people feel compelled to continue their work because they need an income to meet their basic needs and maintain financial stability. That fear of losing that stability can make it difficult to step out of your comfort zone and explore alternative paths. So try looking for opportunities to explore your interests and passions outside of your main job. This can provide a sense of fulfillment and open doors to new possibilities. However, keep in mind that there still has to be a balance between financial stability and following your passions and interests.

If we wont work then there's no money that we could spend and we would really be poor and this is something that we dont really like to happen. No matter how much we do hate up our work then we dont really have any choice but to deal with it and live with it or else you would really be living on a life which is miserable on which even having your own meal would be a problem and surely we dont really like that situation.
This is where people would really differ on how they would assess and make approach on such condition on which thinking up various ways and methods on making your living way more comfortable and less stress.
We do mainly think on how to generate more income and this is via investment and business on which you could potentially be able to reach out that certain state on having lots of fiat when you have done it well.
Its a matter of hard work and perseverance if you do have that kind of goal on which you would be needing to move and not just sitting idle and wait up for something changes.

Maybe when we don't have to live in the reality and stick with our own fantasy? Perhaps being dead or being an old retired pensioner are the only way I guess LOL!
I totally get your point because most probably we are all asking the same question whenever we get tired, exhausted, and drained after a long week of work. This is like a daily reminder that reality sucks.
Though there are a handful of ways where you can travel while you're working. One of these is having a job where it doesn't need for you to go the office, but to work remotely. I've seen a lot of freelancers doing this kind of routine. However, it still doesn't stop the 'living for the weekend" and escaping 9-5 life cycle.
Some people dont like to take risk and neither they want to learn new skills. To get rid of 9-5 job one should either learn some new skills or find other ways to earn passive income. Some people learn it hard way - I startef doing it when my job ended suddenly in a day. Since that day I never applied for a job and worked as a freelancer

For those who are busy working 8 hours per day and 5 days per week of course it will be boring, besides that most people who work 8 hours per day and have no ideas to look for other things it will be difficult to develop, use time when holidays or weekends to look for other inspiration, for example how to generate good finances.

Many people feel compelled to continue their work because they need an income to meet their basic needs and maintain financial stability. That fear of losing that stability can make it difficult to step out of your comfort zone and explore alternative paths. So try looking for opportunities to explore your interests and passions outside of your main job. This can provide a sense of fulfillment and open doors to new possibilities. However, keep in mind that there still has to be a balance between financial stability and following your passions and interests.
If we wont work then there's no money that we could spend and we would really be poor and this is something that we dont really like to happen. No matter how much we do hate up our work then we dont really have any choice but to deal with it and live with it or else you would really be living on a life which is miserable on which even having your own meal would be a problem and surely we dont really like that situation.
This is where people would really differ on how they would assess and make approach on such condition on which thinking up various ways and methods on making your living way more comfortable and less stress.
We do mainly think on how to generate more income and this is via investment and business on which you could potentially be able to reach out that certain state on having lots of fiat when you have done it well.
Its a matter of hard work and perseverance if you do have that kind of goal on which you would be needing to move and not just sitting idle and wait up for something changes.

We all wanted to find an extra side job to help us to grow our savings and in the near future we will be able to rest and enjoy our life, but it's reality that we needed to face, without a day job you won't be able to survive long, your salary from your 8 hours job is the one that provides your needs, unless you are single and the responsibilities is not that high.

You can still explore and try different venue of earning money, but if you are tied to any responsibilities, it's really tough to quit without any assurance that you can find a suited side job or investment to fill your needs.

Do you believe that there's a true way to escape this vicious cycle, or are we doomed to live like this forever? Telling me that my minor savings in Bitcoin are going to settle me for the rest of my life isn't going to cut it, because the majority of us won't ever have enough Bitcoin to retire.
Not just majority but more than 80% won't have enough Bitcoin to retire. But the way to escape this vicious life cycle is still to invest and the safer side is when our portfolio is spread across different asset class.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.
No one ever wish for a life such as this but not every one understands how to break out of this cycle. Having a deliberate plan to own and manage our daily activities and investment choice is one way out. What i mean in essence is been our own boss not on a small scale business plan but on a plan that can employ people to do the work for us while we have our time to ourselves.

Getting a job can be very stressful and living to it can be tasking because you need to make sure that you make you Boss happy for you not to get sacked. The routine of going to work from Monday to Friday can be very stressing especially when you are living far away from you home. Getting a bus early in the morning rushing to work and rushing back home to meet your kids can be very stressful for us. This is not the best life to live because it could make us old as soon as possible. It is good for us to have our own business so that we can make decisions for ourselves and go to work whenever we like to go.

I enjoy the 9-5. I watched my parents spend the majority of their lives, 35 years, working the 9-5 to be able to raise the kids and provide us with some of the finest things in life. From there, they went on to build one of the most successful businesses in my province. The 9-5 gave them the skills, experience, network, connections, and cash they needed. They worked their 9-5 in a job they loved and in a career they were passionate about. There's nothing wrong with working a 9-5 as long as it's in a place you are passionate about and love; time just passes without you even noticing it.

That's what makes it important to have a job which is what helps us to have a good lifestyle even though we have to spend most of our time to work. Nothing is free to have something in your life that will things better. Because of working hard, some people now are rich and didn't have to work much just like before. It's just like my uncle who are not rich before and must work most of the timr until he hid business is booming and now have employees working for him while he earn money.

80%? I bet it's more like 98%; only the "chosen" ones will have enough bitcoin to retire. Someone who's barely making ends meet can't make huge investments if something else doesn't change in his environment to increase his available income. We often see other users praising Bitcoin, but it's not a panacea; it doesn't fall out of the sky. If you don't make enough, you can acquire enough to put towards your retirement. Thus, until then, you're stuck in a loop. I highly doubt that there's a way to break the circle; most of us will be stuck living on this routine, which on the one hand provides some kind of safety after a while, but on the other, it makes time fly by without having an actual meaning. At least that's how I see it.

Life is inherently difficult; no one wants to be stuck in a cycle of working long hours with low wages and resigned to such a life. It is true that in every person's situation, someone will find satisfaction and purpose in their work, even if it requires long hours or low pay. But others feel that they have no other alternative and thus need a job that provides financial resources, even if it is very frustrating. So leaving your day job without an alternative source of income is a real challenge. That thought kept repeating in my head, and at some point, many people accepted that it was their fate. At that time, it is true that their lives died in a dark way.

The problem is that in this scenario, a person lives for work, and does not work for life. Most people do not see other ways, and therefore they try to legitimize this way of life, when almost all of their day is spent at work. And it doesn't even matter if you like your work or not. The main problem is that other people impose rules on you by which you must live. A person does not have time to use free time on weekends or vacations to think about alternative sources of income that do not require him to work 9 hours a day, 5 or 6 days a week. He is just glad that he finally has a well-deserved two or three week vacation, during which, at best, he can afford not to think about work (although over time there are fewer and fewer such people, because with the spread of instant messengers and free Internet calls, the employee remains constantly available, and is not really distracted from work, he does not receive high-quality unloading).

Another reason for this schedule is that people don't really know what to do outside of work. It is much easier to dream about how you would spend time on your hobbies if there was no work, but only a few do it. People get bored, they don't know what to do with themselves. Moreover, in the modern world, for most people, self-esteem and self-image depend on career advancement. A person does not know who he really is, what he wants and why he lives. And so he needs a system that will answer these questions. Then he will know that he is an accountant, or an SMM manager or a realtor. Then everything becomes clear: how to live, what status you have, what you can count on. And who still asks himself the question of who he is, outside of his work and specialisation?

A sense of passion and dedication to your work elevates you above those who go to work out of necessity. But in fact, these categories of people are not much different from each other, because both of them simply play by someone else's rules and support a system that is beneficial only to those who figured out how to get out of it after all. Perhaps if more people thought about how they can create conditions for themrseves in which they would not have to work for others, work to survive, how not to be a function and a simple performer, it would become clear that there is a huge amount of work in the world which is absolutely useless. And that humanity, in fact, has both time and resources to finally devote time to humanitarian (in the broadest sense of the word), and not utilitarian, reproducing and consumer development.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week.
Because the life cycle in most countries is still like that. Especially if you live as an employee or employee in a company, certain office, institution, or other, sometimes you even have to work 6 days and only have 1 day weekend off. And what's more, if they are workers with a shift system and work in public private departments, hospitals, and several other companies, then what happens is that they don't necessarily have weekends on Saturday-Sunday. They sometimes have 1 day off on weekdays. , and in fact not allowed to take a day off on weekends. Because, it is precisely during the weekend that their work comes more to serve customers. And it's still like this. sometimes granting leave rights to employees is also not necessarily in accordance with government regulations, especially in the private sector which is still small. And this does happen, or does it only happen in my country? Even back when I was still teaching at school, I still had to come in on Saturdays. But now I've stopped and maybe the rules have changed.

There are many people who fall into difficult situations when they feel stuck at work with low wages and unsatisfactory working conditions. Financial pressure is also one of the reasons they cannot explore alternative career paths and do not want to take risks while having a stable job. Over time, a growing sense of frustration, resignation, and a sense of being trapped builds up. So don't try to think too much, try to find a side job that matches your interests. Although it can be hard, it will at least reduce negative thoughts about your work.

Inflation is really like a boil in many countries. Although the extent of its impact on each country is different, its direct impact on people's lives is inevitable. The price of materials has escalated, and the cost of living has also increased significantly. It is very difficult for many families to readjust their monthly expenses. More especially, for the poor, whose lives have been very difficult and now have to face inflation, they really don't know how to live. Therefore, the government needs to pay attention to and promote appropriate economic policies at this time.

Inflation has also become the basic problem why many workers find it difficult to save money in recent years, so because of the increasing need for money to make ends meet, of course the adjustment will not be as simple as they say.

Having an investment for old age may be good, but I think they should also realize that it's natural to enjoy the return on their investment as long as they are in good health. Life is not about working and working forever, but we need to enjoy life in a good way even though we have to be responsible for our children and family as well as their future.

How come some one wants to escape their job which gives them income and money to support their family.
Majority of people still wait for weekend to relax and spend time with family and do something for themselves.

Exactly. I constantly see other members claiming that Bitcoin has contributed to their financial freedom so much that they're planning to use it to retire in the distant future. I don't get it; if I actually had so much money, I wouldn't go around bragging. This is exceptionally common in newer members who are possibly looking for attention, but anyway, that's not the subject. Bitcoin is great and all, but it doesn't grow on trees; either you have it or you don't. Personally, I don't have the capability to purchase myself; I only earn through signature campaigns and occasional micro-investing. Thus, it's not something that the average person can afford.

Anyway, personally, I've been tremendously helped by Bitcoin, but not everyone can profit from it. Inflation has put a huge burden on households, and it's something that has also affected me, but that isn't my biggest issue; it's that you're working all week just to have one or two free days in which you're too tired to enjoy.

Rich people are not really affected by inflation because they can use more money when needed. However, middle and lower class people who are in the poor category have to work more in order to fight inflation and they are also willing to work in different places to earn more money for their lives in inflationary conditions. Meanwhile for rich people, I think there is nothing to say under any circumstances because they can easily overcome any problem by using money where they want.

That is really the sad truth. Rich people can easily overcome inflation as they have enough money to spend, whereas the middle class and poor are having difficulties coping with it. They tend to just limit their buying, like instead of buying a whole sack of rice, they tend to make it half because if they buy one, they are caught short and have a hard time buying other necessities, unlike the rich, who have extra income or more money than us and don't get short financially.

I’m satisfied with my current life cycle that perfectly fit on your description. I think you will only feel empty if you didn’t want your job due to the work load or work space environment.

I’m a professional and doing the job that I study for many years which I dedicated my life. This is what we called career and you will enjoy doing it since you will appreciate what you study to apply in real life scenario. Having 2 days a week for day off is already sufficient to me since it’s too boring in the house without doing my job that I have passion.

I think the problem is the job itself and not the cycle. The cycle is good if you are enjoying it.

In fact, everyone needs to have job to earn income so that their financial condition is better. It's hard to imagine that we will become rich without work, make profit without capital and effort, it seems strange unless there are treasures that fall from the sky which then makes no sense.

Maybe it's time for you to let your money work for you and make money with it. There are many investment assets to consider including bitcoin, gold and so on which can help you get more time off than constantly having a formal work routine for 5-6 days. This is healthy mindset because opportunities must be taken. Work has to be, effort does too, but having an investment mindset and planning as best you can will help.

When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life

Maybe when we don't have to live in the reality and stick with our own fantasy? Perhaps being dead or being an old retired pensioner are the only way I guess LOL!
I totally get your point because most probably we are all asking the same question whenever we get tired, exhausted, and drained after a long week of work. This is like a daily reminder that reality sucks.
Though there are a handful of ways where you can travel while you're working. One of these is having a job where it doesn't need for you to go the office, but to work remotely. I've seen a lot of freelancers doing this kind of routine. However, it still doesn't stop the 'living for the weekend" and escaping 9-5 life cycle.
Things have changed altogethet. Life is no longer a 9 to 5 job these days people work as per their comfort and taste and earn with both the hands

It is a reality that many people live, but not all jobs/lifes are the same.

It's about "time," it's not having a job where you get paid a lot or a little.

I don't know, it's something that can only be solved by oneself and at some point in life it must be done, it's liberating.

I dislike working as officer in some location that I wouldn't normally go. I think this life creates unhappy people. I always treated Bitcoin as a way to leave this kind of life. My main purpose in life was always to liberate myself from full time work as soon as possible. Now I spent 6 years of my life working. When I turn and look back I see that only time I was bit happy was covid days when I was paid without working. I learned importance of generating money in life so I can only do things that I always wanted to. Only tiny minority hits this goal. I wish I was part of them.
but there is no way we can find new place all the time the only good option is a coworking place.
that way you are no administrating a work place and enjoying all the faciliest

I totally get where you're coming from! It can feel disheartening when life revolves around work and we have limited time off. Many people including myself crave more freedom and fulfillment. While there's actually no one-size-fits-all solution, considering alternative paths or making small changes can make a difference. Maybe consider pursuing passions outside of work, finding a flexible job, or even starting a side hustle. It's important to find what brings you joy and take steps towards that. You're not alone in wanting a different way of life, so don't lose hope!

This is exactly why I love my job, its another great example. There were elections in my nation today, I couldn't sleep, I was tired, I felt like a sack of potato all day, finally I got back at home, and it was 9 pm nonetheless, so literally after dinner, and I slept for 3 hours, woke up right now, its midnight, its literally the next day, and I started working. This is how a work should be, do whenever you possibly could do and that's how you go further. It will definitely work better than expected, its going to end up with being as much of a help in my life as anything else could ever be. Love it, and will continue to love it forever, there could never be any other better job, its the greatest thing that ever happened to me.

I dislike working as officer in some location that I wouldn't normally go. I think this life creates unhappy people. I always treated Bitcoin as a way to leave this kind of life. My main purpose in life was always to liberate myself from full time work as soon as possible. Now I spent 6 years of my life working. When I turn and look back I see that only time I was bit happy was covid days when I was paid without working. I learned importance of generating money in life so I can only do things that I always wanted to. Only tiny minority hits this goal. I wish I was part of them.
you are lucky you are being paid for the leave days.
otherwise people lost their jobs and were helpless to the end of the day they were very upset for earning their livelihood

People who have paid leave really lucky employees as they have that privilege, unlike us, who have no work and no pay, so even if we are sick, we still continue to work because if we don't, we don't have money for our needs and for our family. Also, every time there is a holiday in the country, almost all the people I've known are very happy about it because they are paid on it, and like us, we are sad because we are forced not to go to work as it is a holiday and it means that we don't have pay on that day.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.

You forgot to include the public holdays that are also been observed. I think this depends on the kind of job you do, people who lives on salary and pay checks are use to the way of the skilled labour and labour laws in many countries. However, this depend though, not everybody do job that settle for job that has to be supervised by another person and even when they do, they self employ job that they schedule their own break, they can decide to work from Monday till the weekend and continue the following week, no rest until they want to rest. There are some people that also combined both the skilled job and work for the rest of the weekend as side husle.

Even others don't have a job, so i think wether you have paid leaves or not, as long as you have a job, be thankful as others dreamt of your job. It is just sometimes mental exhausting, like saying it is very unfair that others have paid leaves and you haven't, but still, it is the best time to rest because if that is not paid, then for sure you'll work, and that could lead to you working even sicker and you could be worse.

Even a boss would tirelessly work to prevent a decrease in their income.
The life cycle you experience is actually a product of the mindset ingrained in your brain. You can break free from that zone with a different mindset.
There are several types of mindsets that greatly influence the trajectory of your life.
https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/career-development/types-of-mindset

To achieve the vacation you desire, you must cultivate a "Growth Mindset" in your mind, allowing your creativity to flourish. The more experience you gain in a particular field, the easier your work becomes and the greater the salary you receive, even if your working hours are significantly shorter.
Working eight hours a day in an office setting could potentially foster a "Growth Mindset," but it seems unlikely that your boss would allow that to happen.

I call this the "Mouse in the wheel" look on life. Yes, it is true... most people run in that wheel and it looks like they are not going anywhere, but that has it's benefits.

The mouse gets exercise and that is keeping it fit and healthy. Now, to explain that in real life.... your 9to5 work keeps you busy and it is funding your expenses. It is paying for your health benefits and it is also good social interaction with other people around you.... that is keeping you mentally fit for life.

As you mentioned in your post... some times you step off that wheel and you go on holiday or you have a fun weekend .... or the little girl takes you out of your cage and she plays with you in her room.  ;)

My advice.... get a hobby or do some community service to spice up your life after working hours.... or get another job, where you can work more flexible hours. (If you love your work.. you do not work a day in your life)  :D

Who says that everyone works from 9-5 and looks forward to the weekend? Majority do, but not everyone op. Personally, I am a freelancer and I work whenever I want to without any restrictions/barriers making work fun for me.

We all have choices in life, it's just depends what we will choice to make our life better.

Yes, life can be depressing most of the time and that's normal, but we have the ability to minimize the depression as much as possible on what actions and decisions we are going to make. We're just normal human beings that have emotions, to break the cycle that you have mentioned, starting your own business, investments, or the other things where you're the boss would make your life more easy and much more interesting.

You control your time, your money, and your life. It's hard to manage a business especially when starting but when you experienced the success, it's so much worth it than working 8 hours every weekdays.

It seems you need the fastest train so you can cut your travel time from home to work, because that's a very long travel time if you have to sit on the train for three hours without stopping. And the question is why don't you take other options to be able to save your time when going to the office? Because any office is always open on weekdays in the morning so you definitely have to go there too early to work and I think that will definitely give birth to extreme fatigue, mate.

Apart from being grateful, I think other things to consider are time and salary, because it would be very illogical if you were paid cheaply by spending more time each day working in an office. But it will be worth it if you are paid handsomely by the office because the time you spend working there is too much.

comfortable or not in the activities or work that we do in a day to day but usually people need a vacation, need a new atmosphere to calm themselves and also need a break from the activities that continue to be involved in every day.
it is a normal thing and everyone wants it to please himself.
because basically this human has a sense of boredom, that's why it's very important to take a vacation or rest yourself.

your routine may be so enjoyable that you can enjoy it every day, you are a lucky person if you keep positive thinking like that.

When you find success then it will break the cycle, you will find yourself financially freedom and you can start doing what you want without a limitation that you need to go to work again, though like what you said starting is the hard thing maintaining is another but you can always find ways if you really wanted to change your life.

We all have the opportunities the problem most of the time. We don't know where and how to begin with, skills and determination
things that you really needed to work with any challenges that you need to encounter.

Some people like this, some does it to survive, or others do it because they have no other options. Depending on your need, this could feel like hell or heaven. Also, there's a term that says, you need money in order to make more money. Many choose these 9–5 jobs so that they can save enough money in order to start a business on their own. So if you have a plan and enough asset to start something like that, you can decide to quit your job. But for me, the competition is so high. So grab any opportunity you can get. Have something as your backup and then move onto something new if that involves risks.
To survive and no other option seems the same. If you have an option, you won't choose to do it but maybe you mean is they do it because they want it or they do not want to earn an extra income for their selves to buy that luxury thing they want because if it's not luxury, they will get it without trying hard or by only saving up using their residual money from their salary.

The feeling is not really miserable if we grind for our personal needs but it is somehow if we do it for other people. 9 to 5 jobs are usually low paying. People choose it not because they want to save up but it's because it's more easier than other forms of jobs. It also earns them fixed salary which they think a good thing already.

Time passes, and we have nothing to look forward to. We watch our lives pass, and the only thing we're looking forward to is the weekend or 20 days per year of paid time off. We're working a whole year, from 9 to 5 and sometimes even more, at someone else's business just to have an approximate of 20 days of vacation and two days off per week, with many of us having one or even none per week. Is it just me, or does this life sound completely depressing to me? Our ambitions are completely crushed by such a daily routine; our days off are mostly to get things done around the house and to rest. By the time that happens, the day has passed, and we have to go to work again.
In this life we ​​are actually always given a choice, no matter what the choice in life will always be there for everyone, but sometimes many people forget that choice. What I experienced too, the world of work is indeed very monotonous, every day always has the same routine. Going to work early in the morning, and in the evening sometimes even going home at night. It just goes on like you have no control. In fact, there are many job professions that force workers to not be able to take a day off. Such as security guards, restaurants, and farms.

But we as humans must be able to think ahead, in essence, we must dare to leave the safe zone of work. Being an employee or staff in a company is already guaranteed, in terms of salary and pension. But actually not worth the time to be spent. Therefore, you must be able to have the courage to pursue what you dream of and get out of that zone. There are many things that can be done, the most important thing is to be prepared with all the consequences. Because if you get out of that safe zone, and for example open your own business, you will definitely be obliged to work harder and the risk will be borne by yourself. But in essence, it is yourself who is the boss, and you are also the one who manages the time when you are going on vacation. And in essence, the problem is that it depends on one's own choices.

The problem here is that many people do not know what they really should spend their lives on. This question is associated for them with an indescribable fear of the unknown. And although the idea of freedom attracts them, it still remains unrealized, because the fear of the unknown and the responsibility that this freedom entails turns out to be much stronger than the supposed benefits. It is for this reason that most people perceive hired work as a safe harbour where they do not have to make decisions and bear responsibility. And even if this is associated with a very conditional meaning, but they have it, and this meaning is generally understood and generally recognized, in contrast to the one that a person builds for himself on his own.

"Must" we? I mean some people are super happy with that life and do not want to live the risky life that I talked about. My wife among them, she would never dare to have her business, she wants to, in her "goals" there is starting her own workshop and that's great goal but she would not be able to give even a month long testing period, it is not possible for her to do something like that at all.

I would highly suggest the best thing to do in this case would be making sure that it is going to end up with something more proper, it is going to be something I would highly suggest because just let them be happy with what they have. I suggest taking risks for people who are willing to, but the ones who don't want to shouldn't be worried about it neither.

therefore financial freedom becomes important in our lives, where we work not bound by leaders, because we are the leaders. it's not easy to be someone to become a person who has financial freedom, where we have to be able to fight with the harsh conditions in this world. being an employee at least has a business that can support so that our brains are always running, so that it is possible if something bad happens, then we still have a handle for life in the future.

If you're working for the government or your boss as most individual are doing, you have no choice but to please you boss. If you don't please them, your chances of staying in that job for a long period will not exist. Bosses only want employees who're loyal and does that work very very because when that is done, the get good results and get the value they're paying for you.

If you want to work as you please and don't what to answer to anybody then you should start your personal business. Starting a business isn't hard to do but keeping that business profitable is when you'll have challenges because not everyone has those qualities in them.

I would say in government that as long as you don't commit a big mistake that can affect the whole office and also have absences, then you are good because government employees are not too strict on this.

Many people are only living there lives without purpose. They go to work from morning and closes in the evening and that do not tell them that they are not living a suitable lifestyle that will give them freedom to go to any places they feel like going without anybody restricting them. We don't need to live our lives to please the boss or the government for those working as a government workers especially for many years.

If you're working for the government or your boss as most individual are doing, you have no choice but to please you boss. If you don't please them, your chances of staying in that job for a long period will not exist. Bosses only want employees who're loyal and does that work very very because when that is done, the get good results and get the value they're paying for you.

If you want to work as you please and don't what to answer to anybody then you should start your personal business. Starting a business isn't hard to do but keeping that business profitable is when you'll have challenges because not everyone has those qualities in them.

I would say in government that as long as you don't commit a big mistake that can affect the whole office and also have absences, then you are good because government employees are not too strict on this. As long as you are just doing your job, like finishing it even if it is not on deadline, then you are good. But again, those kinds of things are very unprogressive for you, like feeling stagnant and not improving your skills, and also because it is only minimum wage. Having capital in business is also hard at the same time when you run it, which is why intensive research and learning are required.

The 9-5 job is sometime the routine of the most of the people. The whole life have been a lie working round the clock …many people get over with this phase of 9/5 after having a bad work experience. But most of them keep going with this phase through out their lives.

Unfortunately, due to the current system many people's lives will be similar to each other. Many people have been programmed like robots to have a free day on certain days of each week to spend the day in a monotonous working order and to live as well as possible. As an employee working in the shift system I wish I could be free every weekend and only work between 09:00-17:00. Although I work in a fairly large company unfortunately, I do not have a work schedule between 09:00 and 17:00 which many people complain about and that will be empty on the weekend. Working on weekends and night shifts often makes me feel like I miss the standardized 09:00-17:00 shift. I would also like to add the following for the sake of curiosity;

Unfortunately, my salary is not very high and when I work weekend or night shift, I'm paid at a very low scale.

In this life we ​​are actually always given a choice, no matter what the choice in life will always be there for everyone, but sometimes many people forget that choice. What I experienced too, the world of work is indeed very monotonous, every day always has the same routine. Going to work early in the morning, and in the evening sometimes even going home at night. It just goes on like you have no control. In fact, there are many job professions that force workers to not be able to take a day off. Such as security guards, restaurants, and farms.

But we as humans must be able to think ahead, in essence, we must dare to leave the safe zone of work. Being an employee or staff in a company is already guaranteed, in terms of salary and pension. But actually not worth the time to be spent. Therefore, you must be able to have the courage to pursue what you dream of and get out of that zone. There are many things that can be done, the most important thing is to be prepared with all the consequences. Because if you get out of that safe zone, and for example open your own business, you will definitely be obliged to work harder and the risk will be borne by yourself. But in essence, it is yourself who is the boss, and you are also the one who manages the time when you are going on vacation. And in essence, the problem is that it depends on one's own choices.

The problem here is that many people do not know what they really should spend their lives on. This question is associated for them with an indescribable fear of the unknown. And although the idea of freedom attracts them, it still remains unrealized, because the fear of the unknown and the responsibility that this freedom entails turns out to be much stronger than the supposed benefits. It is for this reason that most people perceive hired work as a safe harbour where they do not have to make decisions and bear responsibility. And even if this is associated with a very conditional meaning, but they have it, and this meaning is generally understood and generally recognized, in contrast to the one that a person builds for himself on his own.
Many people are only living there lives without purpose. They go to work from morning and closes in the evening and that do not tell them that they are not living a suitable lifestyle that will give them freedom to go to any places they feel like going without anybody restricting them. We don't need to live our lives to please the boss or the government for those working as a government workers especially for many years.

This is a bondage that many people that are working to please there bosses faces. This is why it is very important for us to make sure we get a good skill that can make us create our own job where we work for ourselves not to please a boss.
therefore financial freedom becomes important in our lives, where we work not bound by leaders, because we are the leaders. it's not easy to be someone to become a person who has financial freedom, where we have to be able to fight with the harsh conditions in this world. being an employee at least has a business that can support so that our brains are always running, so that it is possible if something bad happens, then we still have a handle for life in the future. Many employees leave their world because they have a reliable business

It seems to me that gaining financial freedom is one of the main reasons why people turn to cryptocurrencies. Not everyone manages to achieve this goal, but at least the cryptosphere is an opportunity, a path at the end of which financial independence can still be traced. Whereas hired work for another person, corporations or the state will never lead to total freedom without financial restrictions. Because other people are not interested in someone having it. Only the person himself is interested in this.

Are you satisfied with this way of life, or would you prefer to live a different way? What would you like to change and how? Personally, I'm clueless and not satisfied with the idea of spending the rest of my life like this.

We talk about this often with people around me. These conversations took me to good places from time to time. We must try to establish a certain order. Not everyone can live an ordinary or very good life. This world has unwritten laws. I think we should love the life we live instead of such thoughts. We need to make plans to reverse things that go wrong. We should always wish the best, but sometimes we shouldn't let it affect our lives when it doesn't.

Good things are not today, maybe tomorrow.

When will we stop living for the weekend? Escaping the 9-5 life

Maybe when we don't have to live in the reality and stick with our own fantasy? Perhaps being dead or being an old retired pensioner are the only way I guess LOL!
I totally get your point because most probably we are all asking the same question whenever we get tired, exhausted, and drained after a long week of work. This is like a daily reminder that reality sucks.
Though there are a handful of ways where you can travel while you're working. One of these is having a job where it doesn't need for you to go the office, but to work remotely. I've seen a lot of freelancers doing this kind of routine. However, it still doesn't stop the 'living for the weekend" and escaping 9-5 life cycle.
Things have changed altogethet. Life is no longer a 9 to 5 job these days people work as per their comfort and taste and earn with both the hands
I believe if you really want to stop from living with it, you are free to make a choice and start making a change in yourself. You just have to take the courage, otherwise you’ll be living with it for the rest of your life. And here comes crypto which is right in time. You can make it as a side hustle and when you think you have already established your finances from it, then work on it as full time while having another business that will give you a passive income.

I think I won’t say anything new, but you need to change your work and habits in life. If you understand that at work for many years as one you are completely alone, then you need to leave because this is not normal. Of course, someone will say there is no way to leave and I will understand, but in free time from work, you can study and get another profession or skills and become the best version of yourself but gradually. Without motivation, there is no point in just existing.

The main thing is to make sure that these new skills do not lead to the same outcome when a person works as an employee, thus devoting most of his day, and eventually most of his life not to himself, but to someone or even something else. Of course, it is more pleasant to do work that you like, but if the ratio of work and life does not change, then there is no need to wait for cardinal changes in life. It seems to me that the study of new areas and the acquisition of new skills is appropriate when they can take a person out of the "rat race", as Robert Kiyosaki said. And if these new skills only contribute to the fact that a person jumps from one job to another, without having more chances for financial freedom, then the only advantage is his improved attitude towards what he does. But that doesn't make great difference in the way he lives.

Most people who still like to work at multiple jobs are because of their desire to live more comfortably apart from having to enjoy their life after being tired at work. Even though it's actually quite easy for everyone to live comfortably in this world where they have to be able to share their time when working, resting, and also praying because most people only think about their many jobs all the time without thinking about when they will enjoy the results. I think those who are like that will never find enjoyment in their life because the time they have all day long is just to work without thinking about anything else.

I used to think that this kind of life is boring since it is like repeating over and over again, to be honest we have been that way even before we started working.
We have been program to do it way before we work just think about it school is also 5x a week and it is also more than 9 hours per day or more for some of us I think it would depend on every country.
Just like school all we need is motivation and good friends to hang out to make it enjoyable.

The 9/5 is not the preference of everyone most of the people are the people get some revenue from their 9/5 job but they plan a bigger thing ahead.

easy to say, but this is hard to do. I mean, not all can have a business; either they don't have funds or they are not capable of it. That is why other experts are saying that if you can't have a business, then make sure you love your job and save from it because if you are in a stressful job place, then for sure your life would be short and not good for your mental health. Even for myself, I do want to start a business, but I really need a stable income and can't risk it because if I don't have money or income, we are all going to go hungry and have no food to eat.

Some people like this, some does it to survive, or others do it because they have no other options. Depending on your need, this could feel like hell or heaven. Also, there's a term that says, you need money in order to make more money. Many choose these 9–5 jobs so that they can save enough money in order to start a business on their own. So if you have a plan and enough asset to start something like that, you can decide to quit your job. But for me, the competition is so high. So grab any opportunity you can get. Have something as your backup and then move onto something new if that involves risks.
To survive and no other option seems the same. If you have an option, you won't choose to do it but maybe you mean is they do it because they want it or they do not want to earn an extra income for their selves to buy that luxury thing they want because if it's not luxury, they will get it without trying hard or by only saving up using their residual money from their salary.

The feeling is not really miserable if we grind for our personal needs but it is somehow if we do it for other people. 9 to 5 jobs are usually low paying. People choose it not because they want to save up but it's because it's more easier than other forms of jobs. It also earns them fixed salary which they think a good thing already.
the basic problem is survivor which is being so diifficult in these days - everyone is so being selfish that they only care for themselves. People are just running for the money and they are least bothered for what is going around.

Totally on point.! All of us does really have that kind of wish or plans on quitting or stopping our 9-5 or 8-5 job and would really be totally free out of those strict schedules and having some boss for you to follow
but not all does have that money/capital and knowledge for them to start up with a business or other venture on which they do believe that this could really make the wishes or plans come true.We do know that
not all business or investment would turn out to be successful on which this is why there would be people who would really be that skeptical on this kind of approach even if t hey do have the money but
they would really be having doubts when it comes to on pursuing this kind of plan because they would really be that hindering and minding whether they would succeed or not.
This is why we cant really be able to tell that this would really be that simple on which there are two scenario on which not all does have the capital and the other is that they do have the capital
but they dont have the confidence and knowledge on doing so.

It obviously depends on yourself how enjoyable you can make your work life by making friends and finding ways to spend some quality time when you are free, etc. But no matter what you do, you can't compare a 9 to 5 job with the freedom that you can get if you are working on your own business and not having anyone behind you who would call your name right after you stop working for 5 minutes.

Working for someone else will get tiring at some point no matter how good your relationships are with everyone in the office, you will eventually want to quit your job and look to do something that will give you some mental relief.

Not everyone's vibing with the hustle culture, and it's all gravy. The holy grail of entrepreneurship needs a reality check. Not everyone's looking to be the next big startup prodigy, nor should they. Some folks find their zen in the steady pulse of the 9-5 grind, where the income is as predictable as a retweet storm on Twitter about the latest meme. It's all about grokking your power zone and riding that wave.

For the entrepreneurial hopefuls who feel their adrenaline spike at the thought of risks, chill. Success isn't some straight-arrow journey; it's more like the world's longest Wi-Fi password, full of twists and turns. It's cool to pocket a steady paycheck while moonlighting your business dream. Balance is the new black, right? It's about keeping your bank account out of the red while also hustling for your dreams.

And let's talk failure, that big, scary boogeyman. Don't let it ghost you from chasing your business ambitions. Flip the script and view failure as a viral learning moment, a meme-worthy journey in its own right. Let it stoke your resolve and tenacity, my dudes.

I tried taking an extended time off while not getting paid and tried doing some freelancing work for a few months. It was okay, but it certainly got boring pretty fast. Whereas in the lab, I may be spending 5-12 hours a day in the work space but I fee contented, fulfilled, and accomplishing something. Sure, there were times that I wish I can just quit my job and travel around the world while not worrying about the money, but for someone who is already accustomed to the worker life and still needs to save up for the rainy days, it will not be really easy.

I understand the desire the OP said above for a different way of life, one filled with constant travel and exploration and I think it's only natural to crave experiences beyond the confines of our current routine. While saving Bitcoins alone may not be a guaranteed solution, there are avenues to explore.

True Change is possible, One approach is to seek financial independence through diversification and To break free from the cycle, it is important to reflect on personal values and goals, and that starts with imagining the life you want. Although the journey may require effort and patience it will bring you closer to the way of life you desire.

Yeah, reflection to what you wanted to see yourself in the future. It's your patience and dedication in finding the right patterns to change your life and break the chain that keeps you to continue with your day job. With good plans and a good understanding of each possibility, execution might be smooth and the change that you want to happen can be achieved if you plan things the right way.

It's your decision making that matters. With your find patterns, every correct execution adds up to your chances of making things possible for you to reach your goals.
First of all focus on what you want in life and what kind of job you are looking  for if you are comfortable in 9to 5 job and that routine and you can live with that than opt it . If not business is your option do something private and set your own routine and source of income.
If you succeed in that than you no longer have to wait for the weekend as you are your own boss and you can take off anyday you like .

easy to say, but this is hard to do. I mean, not all can have a business; either they don't have funds or they are not capable of it. That is why other experts are saying that if you can't have a business, then make sure you love your job and save from it because if you are in a stressful job place, then for sure your life would be short and not good for your mental health. Even for myself, I do want to start a business, but I really need a stable income and can't risk it because if I don't have money or income, we are all going to go hungry and have no food to eat.
Totally on point.! All of us does really have that kind of wish or plans on quitting or stopping our 9-5 or 8-5 job and would really be totally free out of those strict schedules and having some boss for you to follow
but not all does have that money/capital and knowledge for them to start up with a business or other venture on which they do believe that this could really make the wishes or plans come true.We do know that
not all business or investment would turn out to be successful on which this is why there would be people who would really be that skeptical on this kind of approach even if t hey do have the money but
they would really be having doubts when it comes to on pursuing this kind of plan because they would really be that hindering and minding whether they would succeed or not.
This is why we cant really be able to tell that this would really be that simple on which there are two scenario on which not all does have the capital and the other is that they do have the capital
but they dont have the confidence and knowledge on doing so.

This is really the problem, as most of us are scared to take risks. I do have a workmate who really has money to start a business or venture with others, but he really stays to work at 8–5 jobs because his reason is that it is very stressful to start a business from scratch, so it is better to be on that job as he can relax and chill while at work. That kind of mindset is really in his comfort zone, though another reason is that his salary is enough; that is why he isn't thinking of anyone else, but again, it will not work for everyone because other people tend to venture out to others because they don't like the job, and others also don't want that kind of work style where you won't learn anything.

some people are comfortable with their 9/5 routine and they don't want to change
In my opinion you are given a life because you are strong enough to live it. don't waste your life as to just drag it. Live it to the fullest of your capacity and leave a footprint wherever you go.
