Salary earners end up spending their salary buying from the business owners making the business owners to get profit from the business while the salary earners end up with nothing.

Everyone needs each other to survive,  thr business owners depends on salary earners to survive so are salary earners it's a two ways things, having a business is good because it will help your to be self independent, it allows tou to take decision by yourself without influence. A salary earners that understands management can also be living better life than some business owners that lacks management.  I like my freedom and that's whybi also want to do business,  salary Job will limit my movement because I have to take order before I travel ans stuff. I love to manage my own things,  having businesses is a good financial ability every can develop to better their lifestyle.

Doing both a job and a business at the same time can actually be stressful, most especially if you your need more attention and your business also need the me it will be very hard to cope to me I think I prefer business because once it becomes stable, you have more control over your time and income and the most difficult part is raising the capital and surviving the early stage, but with patience and it will be good.

Job and business both have their pros and cons, nothing in this life is easy and fancy as some people think. Job gives you a steady income but in this increasing inflation time only job can't help you meet your expenses so you have to look at side options to increase your income. In Business you can earn double or triple than your job but starting a business is not an easy thing as it requires capital and continuous efforts in the beginning. The risk factor in business is more then job and this should be kept in mind for anyone thinking about going for business. I think job is a more safer and steady option for income, you can think of doing a business alongside to increase your income.

They have there challenges and like you said nothing good comes easy and times are hard and inflation is every were but there are people that work and they make money from there job and there high paying jobs that beats even those that are into business and the same gods to most business people make money than people that are working so it vice versa, which ever what is important should be the fact that you are focused and you know what you want and you derive joy in what you do then that way you are going to succeed for sure, because you will always want to give it your best.

And both job and business have there own risk and  because you can get sacked and business have its of challenge to so which ever concerns us we don't have to give up and we have to find a way of doing our best and learning from mistakes and then for business a mentor helps at least you have someone to advise you if there is any challenge.

While we are all making certain comparison, we should also know that one thing that we should always prioritize is our own health as this has a lot to do with what we are doing when it comes money making, business or salary earning, it should be something that keeps you going and in good health conditions, most people left their business or salary work to something else because of their health conditions, the point is that what to an extend, what gives more money should not really be much of the priority here rather what actually aligns with your circumstances.

Working is a lot of trouble, doing everything according to the rules, reaching the office on time no matter what, working tirelessly, all in all, it is like a life of imprisonment. And at the same time, I think it is never possible to achieve anything big by working with this fixed amount of salary. Because before you get the salary you are getting, you have already determined how much money will be spent in which sector and in the end you will have nothing, that is, you have to live within this fixed salary, and the same routine every month. There is no opportunity for additional income from this. everything that is earned is being spent, and at the end of the day you have zero balance due to which we are not able to buy any expensive things separately you love.

That is why I think that even for financial freedom, we should do business, every person should do business, it is possible to do business along with job, it is not that you have to quit your job just to do business, if you want, you can run many businesses along with your job and with a little hard work, and so you can also ensure your financial independence. If you want success and freedom, you should definitely do business, there will be risks in it, but without risk there is nothing.

I think there is some truth to this, but I would frame it differently. Salary earners don't necessarily end up with “nothing” — they exchange their income for goods, services, housing, education, transportation, and other things they need. The business owner receives revenue, but also has to pay employees, taxes, suppliers, rent, financing costs, and other expenses.

There is some truth in your words, but it doesn't always happen that way. Firstly, one can love their job, and then it no longer feels like imprisonment. Secondly, career progression exists, which means you can claim a higher salary, so, accordingly, the argument about the same monthly routine collapses. What's more, rules are not necessarily bad, they help a great many people feel stability and confidence. When there are no clear rules, a person is in chaos, and few people can act effectively in total uncertainty.

And as for running several businesses in parallel with an employment job, I have little faith in that. When does the person sleep, eat, rest? If you live like that, no time is left for anything else, and in that case, the question arises, why is all this money being earned, for the sake of what, if you don't even have time to actually live?

[#CapsLOck]

I believe the real question is not where the money is coming from. It's what they are doing with the money. A salary can be saved, invested or be used as start up capital. And business profits can be squandered if they are continually withdrawn for personal consumption. Actually a stable position can sometimes be an obstacle to starting a business too early. So that the person can acquire skills. Savings and market information first. The best situation to be in is that the strongest one is to be earning income. And to begin to accumulate capital that creates income without relying 100% on your active time and labor.

No question about it, being a business owner is better in terms of your goal to financial freedom. As what we have saying locally, if you are employee you are only making the business owner rich. But if you are that business owner then you will become rich. Although not all business became successful, there could be a lot of trials in the beginning, but in the end if you really focus on your goal to be that successful then it will come to you. Maybe you can start of earning a salary and then work and save enough. And when you think that it's ripe for you to quit and start your own then do it and with no regrets.

Is one thing to have a business and is another thing to run the business to stand before you can think of been better than the salary earner,but in all, i always advise every salary earner to start up a business so you don't end with nothing at the end of the month after paying bills.
A salary earner who have family can not meet up with just salary but is he or she add it up with business,you can decide to run your home with business profit while you save from salary.

I also usually suggest that those who work, those who work with a limited fixed salary, should create a business or investment alongside their job to create their financial freedom, this should be done first of all instead of wasting time. Look, I think those who just do a job mainly, after meeting all their expenses from their fixed salary and saving only a small amount, will never be able to create a good financial foundation for the future. Rather, they should instead start an investment or business with what is left in their hands after their expenses, make that investment or business bigger over time, and through that, your foundation will also grow much bigger over time, and from that you will finally get financial freedom.

I never think that making your only job as your only source of income will be a good decision, because if for some reason it stops, you will be completely stressed, and for this you need to take separate measures, an investment or business will create a financial foundation for you for the future and at the same time will give you the greatest support at a time when there is a risk in your main source of income.

If you use a bike for commuting, you will spend a lot of money on the bike every month, but if you use a bicycle, it will not cost you anything, so why do people use bikes?  Because they think it's fancy and comfortable.
Of course, as income increases, expenses also increase.

[acener]

It would always be better to have your own business rather than earning salary.
If you own your business, you control your time, you don't need to follow any strict company policies.
But owning a business doesn't guarantee an income that is the risk that you should also consider.
The amount of money that you need to invest to start your business, amount needed to maintain it, back up plan in case it didn't work the way you expect it.

This is funny to me because I think people just have to buy what they need and the bitter truth is that, someone must have to own the business and this comparison is at some point becoming very boring because a lot people are now trying to talk down on people doing some legit jobs or let me say, the comparison is just a joke to be because if anyone owns a business, who then buys from who, the world is already programmed and everyone can't own businesses and yes it id still very noble to work and earn salaries from others especially if why is lad is worth the services rendered.

Both earning salaries and owning a business are two great and wonderful activity to get involved in because of how life transforming they are to all willing to engage in them and the most important thing is how the capital generated is used in our lifes.
I will conclusively say earning of salaries in the primary aspect of everyone's life while businesses stands as the finishing stage because in our weak and financial handicapped moments its a salary earning jobs we need to generate all the desirable capital for the establishment of business that will speak for one when the strength for pushing is lost.

Not really, tbh. Both have their pros and cons, which one works better really depend on your abilities, goal.

Running your own business gives you more control. But it also come with more risk and responsibility. On the other hand, working for a salary may give you less freedom, but it usually means a more stable income and less risk.

Whether you choose business or a regular job, what matters is finding what works for you. Not everyone is cut out for running a business, and earning a salary doesn't mean you're choosing some lesser path.

I completely agree with you. Besides, it heavily depends on which specific business, in which country, and even in which city we are talking about. Opening your own coffee shop in Kyiv is a business, but it will hardly bring in as much as the CEO of some major financial company in Switzerland makes every month, all while having a ton of perks like health insurance, travel expense coverage, gym memberships, childcare, and so on, plus often having some share in equity. That’s why it's all relative here, there is simply no universal rule for what's better. On top of that, "better" is always very subjective.

I often saw a lot of small business owners struggling with debts as they would need to cover the cost of rental, salaries for their workers, and also the utilities bills. The only benefits I see from being a small business owners are the freedom in working hours as being the boss of the business, they could adjust and set their own working hours according to their needs.

But for large business enterprise with their company stocks listed on the stocks market, it is somehow a different scenario as the boss will have less pressure about the financial cost needed to sustain the business as shareholders of the business will also need to bear the cost too if the company does not make any profits and instead suffers a loss in their financial reports resulting in the share price of the company dropping.

For employees who earns a fix salary monthly, their disadvantages would be their lack of freedom to adjust their working hours and their salary might be stagnant for a long period of time if the boss of the company does not intend to review their salary to match the high rising inflation and thus some employees might struggle to cope with the rising living cost with their monthly salary.

They can set their own working hours is also just a delusion, their customers dictates the working hours and the owner has to be prepared at that time and if they are not then they will simply lose their customer just like what is happening with the fixed salary but here more precious to lose, because small business owners will have hard time getting a customer and imagine they have one and about to lose because they can't provide it on time.

Small business is more stressful and phsyically demanding job than a worker who does the same job.

No one is completely independent if you ask me because both the salary earners and business owners technically depends on each other in one way or the other. The most important thing is having control over your income and the decisions you make that affects your income and finances to enable you live the kind of life you want. A business can actually give you more flexibility compared to a salary but technically it’s just about how they are managed

Good comment but I do not agree with some of the things you said, earning salary is not bad of course you can save up from there to start up a business if you have little expenses and good salary but having a business to me is a flex because your focus will be on how to expand your business, start up another one if the business is profitable but the area of taking the profit for personal consumption is hardly found in the characters of business minded individuals because they are the people that are very meticulous in spending because they usually have plans for the amount that is coming their hands.

Having an already established business you have all the time to acquire more skills, more opportunities to save, good time to plan for yourself and future infact you can even get a double of whatever someone is earning as a salary and still be more comfortable because all your energy is for yourself and the development of your business. You can't compare business and salary work business will always come first.

The biggest benefit of being an business owner is having more control, not having more free time or freedom. That's just an illusion.

We get to decide how the business is run but most of those decision still depend on customers, employees, suppliers and all that, not entirely on what we want.

Likewise, anyone who think becoming the boss mean working less and chilling more is living in a dream world. How are you supposed to have more downtime when your responsibilit, and pressure just shot through the roof and at the end of the day, every major issue still falls on your shoulders to fix?
