We work to earn, not to struggle in life.

Living paycheck to paycheck is unhealthy, because when something happens that costs your paycheck, problems arise. For example, if we are living on our salary, but at one time there is something that we don't want to happen, calamity and others that make us have to allocate more money for it, in the end the salary that was sufficient is now not.

And what will we do when that happens? One option is to take out a loan. Now we have another burden that we have to solve from our salary, which is a loan that is definitely not very healthy for our finances.

By investing, having an emergency fund, we will avoid situations like this. Because we have prepared everything. We can even prepare for our future.

Surviving under a paycheck alone is one of the greatest mistakes we can ever make when it comes to working and earning in life unless if you are earning so much money that you can save even more money. We have two categories of earners we can describe for the purpose of this discussion. We have the low income earners who are just earning and eating from hand to mouth from what they have earned, although they are workers but poor workers with little renumeration and they will need the money to settle their bills there by not having the capabilities to invest and from the flip side comes those who are high income earners, these class of people are working  and earning comfortably from it unlike the way,others are struggling.

In this case, no of them is singled out including the rich earners and the small ones, it does not matter. For the rich guys, clear the mindset of always thinking your paycheck can sustain you for life, that's a false assumption.

The sad reality of life is that being educated doesn't provide riches. It will only make you enlightened, increase opportunities, help in developing critical thinking, and social networks with people.

However, the aspect of becoming rich in today's economy, you are the one to work it out for yourself, through the means you find, whether it's from having businesses, investments, or skills. Whichever one someone chooses, the universe will favor the person according to their efforts and inputs put in place without minding their educational background, or family background

Education by itself makes no one rich, that is true. But education gives people the ability to think, to understand the difference between right and wrong and often opens their eyes to new opportunities. But in the ending money or wealth often comes from other places. Some do business, some learn to invest, some make their own place with some skill, So I think education lays a foundation but the way people build their personal path on that foundation mostly depends on their efforts and decisions.

Education does influence a person's ability to see opportunities because it allows them to understand their potential and determine the appropriate course of action. I don't deny that education can help someone increase their income opportunities, but it all depends on our abilities and the decisions we make. I suspect many people see opportunities but don't take action or let them go, ultimately becoming nothing in life. Hard work is essential for achieving maximum results, otherwise, it's just a half-hearted effort.

Working isn't just about earning money; some economic circumstances force people to work to survive.

In our country, this is the most common tradition or belief. While we're young, we were taught to study hard and finish schooling, and get a stable job. Because once we have already acquired a stable job, we will start earning and improve our lives. And create consistent progress, until we end up getting rich and enjoy the best things in life.

But I don't think we are getting align with it. Instead of working to earn and get rich, why are majority now end up struggling in life? Honestly, what I'm seeing right now is that we work to survive, not to make money and get rich in the process. Could this be the real possibility of life? Or we are just blinded by fantasies in life? Or is it because working alone is never sufficient enough to make riches in life, but we need various investments to achieve success and get wealthy in the long run?

I know different opinions and ideas may arise, but I'll be more willing to read and reflect each of it.

This is usually the case of either people being forced to take advanced education in a field of study they don't like, or are too focused on advanced education that they have missed the practical experience needed in this world. Some also dont take the early years in their life seriously, and some also did not take full utilization of their early time and instead navigated life without a plan. We can see how these types of people have paid dearly in their later years. So without a goal or a plan, their life will be only filled with confusion, and this confusion causes them to have a hard time in the job market.

Or, there are some people that are just not that intellectually capable or were not privileged enough. Thats just the unfairness of life.

We work to earn, this is inevitable truth but not all work can earn one who work to earn must diversify in the pursuit of earn before been outstanding in the society where reference could be made. It's more easier to strive better in self employed earning than under a pay job because certain policy and be a setback where you work without satisfying your emotions and become more damage in health and psychologically injured. Working to earn for instance some civil service jobs workers end up working to survive life not earning but trying to survive as what is tag to be earning can't satisfied what earning is ought to have been.

What you said reminds me of those who work in companies such as factories. They tend to work almost half a day. I even have a friend who works in a factory, and he said that he can only see and feel the sun on his days off because his work starts in the morning when the sun is not yet up and he goes home when it is already dark. He also said that if he didn't need to, he wouldn't do it. I think this is something that many people experience, so they may actually be suffering from their work, but because they need to, they just do it.

I think you are right because if someone has no land and no business, he will work for the company which will pay him. If he will do more hard work then it will not give anything to him . If anyone is working on a shop he is doing 12 hours work and he is getting low income and he spent all day with job and employer or shopkeeper can take more work from him and he will not give anything after that .  Many people have family because they child for which they have to support and they are doing hard work for them and they have no enjoyment in life and companies are grounding them and generating more money from them. You should start work which you like and you should be a person who is independent in life.

Yup, most of those people consume their time inside the factory they'll enter in the morning and ended their shift almost at night, plus those who took overtime they can stay till the factory is open they are aiming to earn extra some for savings other for additional money to spare for whatever they need, but still in that scenarios those people just wanted to survive and wanted to keep life either they save for their future while other to use to finance their needs.

They have made us to believe that education is the key to success, we grew up thinking that after school we are going to get a good job and be rich, but after school most people suffer to get work and those job can’t even give the best life we want , imagine employers asking for 10years experience from a fresh graduate, I have come to understand that the best thing to do for our kids is after school instead of a lesson teacher , it will be better they acquire a skill before university level they might have gain so knowledge after graduation they won’t solely depend on employers, before they can do something for themselves, before you get  a good company that pays well it’s difficult and you most have like 10years experience if not all you can get is hand to mouth jobs , that to establish yourself will be hard.

I understand the situation of those who do it out of necessity because perhaps there are no other family members who can help them financially, so the only hope is a family member who works in a factory with a guaranteed salary, even if the amount is relatively small. Apart from that, sometimes it is difficult to get a job that we like, but fortunately for those who succeed in getting a job they really like because maybe it can make them work with a happy heart because the job is one that they want. I would also feel lucky and probably would do the job happily if I did get a job that I liked, but with problems like the environment, there are always.

We are to be informed that we can't be working all day long and in our entire life without having any chance of being entertained, how do we spend our money when we are not creating time to have fun, life is not as hard as many already thought it was, maybe all we could do is to enable ourselves to achieve more, there is no other time than now to eat part of what we are working for and make life worth it.

There is an interesting truth that most of us are lazy and prefer having fun over working. But this world is too harsh, and if we want to survive and achieve what we want. We are compelled to work, compete and strive relentlessly. I bet that if given the choice to live without working, nobody would choose to work.

Life is not just difficult, it is incredibly difficult, it is not as easy as you think. Many people can not even maintain a stable life even when they work full time. How could they even think about resting, let alone enjoying life?
