that's cool did you know you're one of my favorite posters nice avi

It's not even that much? The average work day is truly 9-11 hours when travel is included. That's nearly half a day not including sleep. Working 40 hours a day is a complete waste of time, not to mention some jobs have people working even more time

Like I’m all for going your own way and opening up a business, but I’m trying to keep the expectations realistic. It’s not all rainbows and sunshine like people think it is

don't ever give up hope

have to pay for food, shelter, car note, insurance, phone, internet etc.

also it gives health insurance, benefits

real as f***

how the fuyck u meet the seashell girl

I don’t.

Walk away
Life is short

So do what you actually want to.

no working 40 a week is not that much. You can work part time if its to much for you. but what else are you gonna do with your time? genuine question?

Explore myself and the world. Thats what I’d do. Life existed before working 40 hours a week so your premise doesn’t even make any sense. College isn’t even close to 40 hours a week of work and got by just fine with occupying myself. Secondly, the only reason I work is to make money not to occupy my time. Why would I ever willingly want to occupy my time working for someone else?

what other choice do I have?

u would stil have work tho. so its not like u can travel each week.

watch tv 🤣

To provide for myself and my family lol it's not hard to justify. Everything in this world costs money.

I’m saying if I had the option to not work and make a livable income, there’d be plenty to do

like what genuine question. lets say you worked 4hrs a day mon to friday. what would those additional 4 hours do?

please tell me this isn't really your argument for the 40 hour work week...

Edit: mistyped

Probably work on my business or explore if the job is remote. It’s not that complicated tbh. There’s literally so much to do when not working:

I can learn a new skill, attempt to start a business, get in the tune with the arts, volunteer, explore new places, etc. work means absolutely nothing to me. I don’t align with the weird American culture where work is supposed to be my life and I’m supposed to be fulfilled by working hard. I used to, but nah, working a bunch of hours for someone else has 0 benefit to me other than putting money in my pocket.

1. Traveling to work stuck in traffic or public transportation is a waste of my time
2. Talking to a bunch of people on the daily that I really don’t care about and have to fake act like I’m cool with is a waste of time
3. Me spending most of my day completing tasks that really don’t improve the world (aka 99% of jobs) is a waste of time.

So all in all, I could be sitting home all day and thatd be a better use of my time than working 40 hours for the rest of my life. That said I do understand the necessity of work to keep society functioning so guess we’ll have to deal with it

what is the difference between this and slavery?

how come all those f***ers up at the top of the ladder get to sit on their backs and count money they’ll never spend while we have to bust our asses way more than we’ll ever need to to live an already barebones lifestyle that is becoming harder and harder to fulfill?

I get to live in a beautiful home with my incredible wife, do work that I enjoy and live a fairly luxurious lifestyle

lol yeah maybe once you’re 70 if you’re lucky

imagine being part of the lower class where you never had the opportunity to be educated because you never made enough to have time off, so you and your family live in a never ending cycle of work and toil

thanks for the existential crisis

working 40 hours a week for 40 years can’t justify a luxurious lifestyle ever for me ever

that’s more than half my waking hours for ten decades
