A Job Pays the Bills, but It Will Never Buy You Freedom

[Sulegzy39]

A job helps you survive, but business or trading gives you the opportunity to be free. Of course, there is risk—but not blind risk. Learning, understanding, and moving forward step by step is the wise approach. Because real freedom comes only when your income does not depend on a single source.

Freedom starts from being financially free, having a good job is one's priority but no matter how one tries to safeguard that fact they still end up not being free because the needs and wants of man are not met. So no matter how much you try to lay a good foundation for oneself there should be some level of understanding at every point in time to keep the individual abraised of what they are to expect. Meanwhile freedom opens one to opportunities and it comes with discipline.

Only a job that will give you freedom is when you have your own business or other thing that you are doing on your own and not someone else's. A job will always provide the basics, but in most cases, having a job may not allow you to afford a good lifestyle. Many people are doing a job but it is not satisfying and they want to invest online but they don't know how to invest. If you have a good business doing that will make you feel comfortable, you will have freedom and have much time.

If everyone can become their own boss, they will really be happy. But the point is that there is not opportunity for a lot of people. If not,they would not like to work under anyone but start their own business themselves. However, there is no capital to start it. And the little money many are getting from their place of work can solve problems through saving for the capital to start a business or trading. So people don’t see opportunities apart from the work they are doing, and that is why they are still on one source of income. But I will say that you have brought good advice for people not to rely on one source of income.

Human needs are unlimited, so no matter how much you earn, you will never achieve financial freedom. So never be dissatisfied with your position, keep trying to achieve something big.

No job allows you to be independent. Is money the key to freedom? Which freedom are you referring to? Freedom in purchasing? Or freedom in real life?

Always remember, money is the main cause of dependence. If you look at the richest people in the world, you will see a common problem among them, which is lack of time. When they have a lot of money, they do not have time to spend that money, they are dependent on money. Having little money means that your purchasing power is low but you are free. At the end of the day, we can eat simple food and sleep peacefully. So it is better to earn as much as you need. If you cannot enjoy earning money, that money is of no value.

Just as man has disturbed the balance between his desires and financial expenses since then man has come to know that even more earning money is less. the money is more than your expenses then you can achieve freedom. You can be happy by fulfilling your small desires. Everything is achieved with money but condition is that the money should be halal because wherever you spend money you will have peace of mind and heart.  you have limited money then you have to spend it thoughtfully. You have become a victim of mental stress because you cannot do with this money what gives you peace of mind and freedom

Many are now aware of the importance of having a business rather than having a job. However, there is a start to everything. For you to have a business, it must gather capital. A job can be a good way to stack capital for your business. 15 years is the maximum time I give for anyone under a job payroll to set themselves free. Within those years, it is enough to gather funds for a good business or trade, and at the same time, learn what they want to go into before starting it. Job is good for starters, to be financially free is for those who strecth their hands into other source of making money.

Maintaining a decent standard of living has become increasingly difficult for an average person. Inflation continues to rise every year but salaries do not increase at the same pace, making it hard to manage daily expenses. Not everyone can start an independent business due to a lack of capital or skills. In such a situation, passive income plays a very important role. Passive income does not mean earning money without effort, it means building an additional source of income that can support financial needs. This helps reduce stress, avoid debt and manage life more smoothly alongside a regular job

With passive income it allows to save up and having a wise and ambitious mindset, things will be able to manifest in the long run, similar to what you said expenses rises high while salary continue to stay the same, it's tough to save up coming from your salary but doesn't mean it's not doable, and if you really have that desire there's always a way to proceed, saving up and cutting some of those extra expense will allow you to save portions of your salary which you can use for your passive income as initial capital.

It is impossible and improbable that everyone on this earth will all be bosses, that is the gap in life, there is night and day, if everyone tries to do business and be a boss, then who will work and be an employee.

For me, whatever profession and work we pursue, the point is that we must have a sense of gratitude, that is, the person who wins economically/financially is truly important.

We see many people who are bosses, but they have debts everywhere, every month the bank comes to their house for overdue bills, This proves that a boss does not guarantee them pleasure and the employees who are grateful are the ones who are happy.

Who will work and be an employee, you may ask? The answer is all in AI and the Robotics industry. They will be the ones that will do all of the hard work for us. The rest of the people can continue to be their own bosses, and live a comfortable life "to infinity and beyond". Sounds crazy, but not far from becoming a reality. I mean, companies have been dreaming of replacing the human workforce with AI and robots. The economy will change in ways we would've never imagined.

Will we be able to achieve financial freedom by being an entrepreneur? I'd say, yes. Although, that depends on how well you manage your funds. Without a good strategy, or bad budget planning, you'll ultimately fail. Either way, the system is designed to favor the rich instead of the poor. Will AI change this? Only time will tell.

There are many high paying jobs in the world. If we are able to achieve the skills or qualifications to do these high paying jobs, then our financial independence will not be very difficult. A big problem among all of us is that we do not push ourselves forward and we start blaming the very low salary in the job. If you are a good coder or if you are very good at Cyber ​​Security, then you can get a very good salary full time job in big companies. But it has become very difficult to find such a person among us.

Nowadays, almost everyone passes with very low marks without studying properly and when it is time for them to get a job, they say there is no job or the salary is not very high in the job. But they do not think for a moment that they do not have that much qualification.

Job gives limited money to you because if  you will invest your time in job you will not be free to wander  because you will be tired and you will be stuck in your job . If you want to be rich and you want to invest your time in best thing then you should invest your time on starting your business. Many people are Investing in small businesses and they are not in loss. If you will invest your time for any company they will give you salary but you should try to be independent which is important in life . Of you are independent you will do everything in your life . People are crazy because they are doing their Investment in that because they should invest more in cryptocurrency if they want their safe future but many people are suggesting that gold is top investment for that kind of people.

There are risks to be taken, taking a job in a company can allow you to have a steady income every month, but you also have to accept that your time may be spent working. But that's if we're just employees, while the owners will definitely get flexibility in time, but keep in mind that they also built it full of sweat, except for those who were born rich and the company they own is inherited.

Meanwhile, if we want to have flexibility in time or our time is not consumed only for work, we must be independent and own a business. But in building a business, it will definitely require hard work, capital and time as well in the beginning. And it also does not guarantee that we can be successful. But when we can succeed, then certainly we will get what we want at the beginning.

[Franklyn-wood]

A job helps you survive, but business or trading gives you the opportunity to be free. Of course, there is risk—but not blind risk. Learning, understanding, and moving forward step by step is the wise approach. Because real freedom comes only when your income does not depend on a single source.

Having multiple sources of income is the best thing to have in this world today. But telling people to go for trading as another source of income that will give them plenty of profits is what I won’t really commend. Trading is an high risk investment and before anyone would venture into it, they need to have made sure that they’ve had a background research about it and are sure that it is something that they can take on as another means of making money.

No one depends on one source of income but while still diversifying and seeking for other means of income, only do the one that is not highly risky for you and gives you a more chance of earning well through it without risking more than you can afford. Beyond trading, there are many skills you can learn that can earn you money online, so learn one of them and make the best out of it.

Well said trading requires lot of training, experience, time, finance and patience to get a resealable result. It's more of a long time investments if properly managed and very profitable.
All the things needed in becoming financially free is the MINDSET. Many people are satisfied with what they do, believing that some day things will get better naturally, while to some, they are just afraid of taking the risk of trying new things, maybe the fear of Lossing their current job while working on the extra income.
Some have even made moves to financial freedom by setting goals but refuse backing it up with action and consistency which make there dreams slow or unachievable which can be due to lack of focus or wrong decisions making.

[Fiatless]

It would take lots of sacrifice for a low or average-income earner to save from his earnings. The individual has to spend money on only basic needs. Food, shelter, education, health and clothing will be their main focus. With the high rate of inflation, spending on other secondary needs will affect savings. I had to reduce the money I spend on junk food eating only homemade food.

Life will be more meaningful if one have am asset that brings financial returns because getting more jobs could be exhausting. A friend collapsed in his place of work because he overworked himself.

[khiholangkang]

A job is never a mistake. A job brings dignity and security. But in today’s world, relying only on a job makes it very hard to achieve financial freedom a truth very few people openly talk about.

It is impossible and improbable that everyone on this earth will all be bosses, that is the gap in life, there is night and day, if everyone tries to do business and be a boss, then who will work and be an employee.

We see many people who are bosses, but they have debts everywhere, every month the bank comes to their house for overdue bills, This proves that a boss does not guarantee them pleasure and the employees who are grateful are the ones who are happy.

In other words, it's impossible for everyone to be a leader because there must be someone who is led, and therefore there is a leader. Likewise, in the workplace, bosses exist because there are subordinates who work and receive salaries. Therefore, it's impossible for everyone in the social work structure to be a boss.
The most important thing is to have a sufficient income, even if you can only work and be grateful. Sometimes I think you don't need to be rich, live in abundance and enjoy luxury goods. The most important thing is to have a sufficient life, without experiencing financial difficulties, and you're already very happy and peaceful.

When it comes to borrowing from a bank for company management, it could be a capital strategy with lower interest rates. Entrepreneurs typically receive lower interest rates, so they borrow and then use them to access other resources. This could have a specific motive for borrowing from a bank as an entrepreneur.

It's about personality as well. I have worked in a company office before, worked really hard, and I worked in my own business as well, worked even harder, and now I am working as freelancer at my home and working even harder than both of those combined, because I love this.

For me, being a freelancer at home, means that I will get to work whenever I want, and decide my own time, and even when you own your own business it is not that free, like if you have a shop, you can't just open the shop whenever you want, you will lose money. Here however, as a freelancer, as long as I finish my daily task, I can work at night if I want to, or early in the morning if I want to, and I love this. Not many may, some people may want something else, which is why it all depends on your personality.

Yeah!  It sounds like you bring up a great point, and I also had similar experiences on my own.  But lets face it; the majority of people who claim they want to live like this dont have what it takes to actually do so without breaking down when faced with all of the pressures that come along with it.

Although you are saying you love working "whenever you want," you are also admitting that you have never been busier than you are now.  Thats because you are not really free as a freelancer; you are simply "a slave" of your productivity (or lack thereof).  If you fail to meet those productivity goals, then you will not get paid either!

Most people can only work under a traditional style of employment that requires them to have a boss or a 9-to-5 job where there is a set schedule for them to follow or they dont have the personality/character traits necessary to be able to hunt and provide for themselves on an independent basis every day.

Dont take me wrong; Im not trying to suggest this is a wrong way to live your life.  I am merely saying that there are certain individuals who may well be unable or unqualified to carry out this lifestyle successfully.

A job is never a mistake. A job brings dignity and security. But in today’s world, relying only on a job makes it very hard to achieve financial freedom a truth very few people openly talk about. Yes, the salary comes at the end of the month, but the time never comes back. Dreams slowly get postponed to  next month. That’s why, alongside a job, it’s important to build something of your own whether it’s trading or a business. Maybe the next five years will be difficult, but the following fifty years can be lived in freedom. Not to become big overnight, but to slowly build a solid foundation for yourself.

A job helps you survive, but business or trading gives you the opportunity to be free. Of course, there is risk—but not blind risk. Learning, understanding, and moving forward step by step is the wise approach. Because real freedom comes only when your income does not depend on a single source.

It should be remembered that it is never possible to achieve financial freedom by depending on a limited income. And in this case, if we talk about a job, it is certainly good, which cannot be ignored, but in reality, a job means a limitation. That is, limiting your life to a limitation. That is why a business can give a person much more freedom than a job. As there will be financial freedom now, there will also be freedom of work. But not everyone will be able to work independently. There are many who have suffered in the future because they could not establish a business properly. Business is certainly a good opportunity, especially in terms of financial freedom, but there are certainly some adversities here, of course, those things must also be achieved well. A person may not be free at first, but if he tries, he will definitely be able to achieve that freedom at some point.

You will believe with me that among the world richest people, their is no employer there , they are all entrepreneurs and tycoons. Being a salary earner cannot make you a rich person, I know their are high paid jobs, but immediately you are placed on retirement or redundancy, your earning drops, some of your benefits will be cutoff. Therefore, it will be very difficult to gain financial freedom as a salary earner. Remember as a salary earner, you are working for somebody, so the esterblishment you are working is a business to the owner, and what you earn as an employee is like a penny compared to the huge profit that the business owner is earning, and while he or she may be paying your salary weekly or monthly, they make their profit daily.

It would take lots of sacrifice for a low or average-income earner to save from his earnings. The individual has to spend money on only basic needs. Food, shelter, education, health and clothing will be their main focus. With the high rate of inflation, spending on other secondary needs will affect savings. I had to reduce the money I spend on junk food eating only homemade food.

Life will be more meaningful if one have am asset that brings financial returns because getting more jobs could be exhausting. A friend collapsed in his place of work because he overworked himself.

The salaries we are getting from our jobs are not increased with time to counter the increasing inflation rate. We have to work extra to generate money to counter inflation. I do a job but I also invest in Bitcoin and participate in signature campaign to increase my income. Those who don't like there job can start building a business alongside and can quit there job only when they think that there business is capable enough to give them good return. Jobs no doubt give you limited funds but we have the option to increase our earnings by working extra.

Not many may, some people may want something else, which is why it all depends on your personality.

While what you're doing right now might feel very comfortable, the problem is that it requires skills and so on. Other than that, few people have the opportunity to do what you do. But I'm sure you also worked very hard in the beginning so that you could have the life you have today.

I myself do whatever I can to make money. I've worked, traded and even done jobs that may not be what people want to do. But I understand that it is part of the process, because there are also people who do not work anything just because they are very choosy in finding a job that is actually unhealthy. Because how long do they have to wait until they can get the job they want?

[NurseHub]

Job is a means of survival but it's also the step to freedom let us not underscore job,you most times do job to get experience then you move over to whatever you want to go into but of course if you consider job the final point you will work till you get old and then have only your retirement plan as freedom in your sick bed or death bed, according to an old saying, big money never comes clean, jobs are clean money but big money you the extra works and even employ people to do it with you.

How is a job a step to freedom? A job is only a way for survival that people don't choose by will but out of compulsion. You will barely find people who would say that they love doing jobs, or they are doing it because it's their passion or interest; the majority of people in the world are doing jobs because they need to do it, and the reason for that is that not every person can start doing something of their own, because they can't afford to do that. Starting a business is both time-consuming and resource-intensive, and not everyone can have enough time and resources to do it.

So, I don't think we can say that a job is a step towards freedom, because there is no way one can gain freedom when they are committed to a job, and if someone says that by doing a job one can save enough money to then start a business of their own then they need to understand that the majority of jobs that people do don't pay more than enough, which means that you get your salary, you spend it on your monthly necessities, and that's it, you don't get to save anything from it because it's not that much.

[Queen uloma]

Having a job is very important in someone's life, it's helps you pay rent, pay children fees, it's helps to sustain the want and need of the family, for someone to survive in this life one need a job, business or engage in trading, when you don't have a job or business meeting up your daily needs and want will be very difficult, I could remember when I was working, I was following the do and don't that another person set, which was kind difficult for me, but I couldn't stop working because if I do my salary will automatically stop too, in all, A job doesn't determine what you will be, or were you will end, while working you can still get a skill, save up and grow from there, nothing comes easily in this life.
