Escaping Wage Slavery Will Not Make You Happy

In this video I wanted to explain why Escaping Wage Slavery Will Not Make You Happy. Escaping the 9-5 rat race sounds like a dream. But you need to be careful because financial freedom and happiness are two seperate paths in life.

I have to disagree with you on this one. In 2020, I was on unemployment (725 bucks a WEEK) For 8 months and that was by far the happiest I've ever been in my LIFE! Every day felt like heaven.

I used to think it was 9 to 5 hell.

Now i realize its 9 to 5 purgatory until you can cleanse yourself of your wage slave habits and desires...only then can you enter into a higher plane of existence.

Hi Tom; I Escaped the Corporate 9-5 Slavery about 3.5 Years Ago. I just want to confirm that you're Absolutely Correct. My level of 'Happiness' has not increased at all. Initially it did - but as I settled into 'self employment', a whole new set of frustrations came along, like having a 'slow month' or customers not paying on time etc. So now I find myself dreaming of when I turn 60 & cash in all my investments & have 'Play Money' & 'More Free Time'.... I know the $$ itself wont 'make me happy', but it'll certainly give me a LOT more

[JefMaes]

In my experience the happiness comes from the freedom and to really appreciate it!.. the feeling is so powerful.. you can do or NOT DO whatever you want, you don't need to listen to anybody, you don't need to ratrace the traffic jams, etc.. it is absolutely priceless..

I like work (having a positive impact on the universe/achieving my goals). I don't like toxic people (narcissists/toxic bosses & coworkers).

[bfalu]

I'm going to retire early. Not to gain happiness, but to avoid being miserable

[shoshoreal]

I resonate with your life philosophy so much. It shows independent thinking which is rare nowadays.

I have worked in a retail chain for 5 years (been feeling overwhelmed and overworked for 3ish years), worked up to assistant manager 3ish years ago and then this april I was promoted to store manager of a small store in my district. I ended up becoming very depressed and after talking to psychologist and my HR departement I am stepping down and going back to working as a normal sales worker in a part time position... and it feels very relieving. I am lucky that I have my own apartement that I own and enough savings to live off for several months even without a job. Hopefully now that I'll be working less I can put more focus into finding a way to make money online and in various other ways (just being able to have multiple ways of making money not tied to a boss is my dream). I will also have to start budgeting and spending way less, but that actually sounds like a more fulfilling life to me than working full time and not having any energy after work.

The issue is that wage slaves breeding more slaves for the system so the wage slavery is passed from one generation to next generation and it's never ending slavery until you just stop bringing new generation into existence. Even if you do business their is no guarantee that your next generation will also be successful in business.

If you're doing what you love, you never have to work a single day!

Well, I feel called out on this video 😁. I have been realizing that I have no more goals to "work" for. I have children, I became a nurse, and three years ago I bought my own house. What else is there? I "quiet quit" my job...barely work shifts. Money was never a goal. My personal "success" definition was to live comfortably. I'm doing that. So why am I feeling discontent in my life right now? Maybe I only feel "happy" when I'm working towards a goal? I don't know. You gave me food for thought. Thank you for these videos. I appreciate your points of view. (And hello from Massachusetts, USA 😊).

[FormerCityFinancier]

You are absolutely correct!

I achieved financial Independence at 36. By 37 I was miserable! I got lucky.

I now set myself a goal I know I'll never achieve. But this time I'll enjoy your journey, the destination is never as fun as we think.

Good luck with your journey.

This one hit's home. Money independence frees up time to find happiness, most of it is inside yourself, external factors are always trasitionaire and Hedonic Adaption gets in the way.

[JSN]

Im kinda both way. Im not happy about being wage slavery, the job task, salary etc but my colleagues makes me happy, really good lads. Which makes waking up everyday easier

[konstantinossohos]

I love the way you make these. Its such a warm and authentic vibe.

[ravenkushner]

I think there is a distinction between happiness and joy, at least for me. Happiness is more based on circumstances. Joy is more of a disposition, or way of looking at life. For example, I will never by "happy" working for someone else. But I am joyful and cheerful every day. I laugh a lot, I do things I enjoy outside of work hours. People would describe me as "happy." Another example is a former relationship I was in that was abusive. I could never be "happy" in an abusive relationship, and I was not happy with that relationship. However, even then, I was joyful. I clung to the things that did bring me happiness and joy. I thought about how nice my life would be on the other side. Eventually it was. But I wasn't miserable every day until I escaped. I think it's the same with goals. There's no point in pretending to be happy with a circumstance if you're not. But you can still find things to love about life in the meantime.

Very good thinking! Thanks! You are right one must work for happiness. Its about brain chemistry a lot so basic healthy lifestyle helps a lot.Working full time consumes ones energy and time so much that work for ones happiness suffers. Financial freedom gives back that time and freedom to work for happiness. I think its even more important as one get older.

[vincidepo]

Happiness is a subjective complex dynamic harmony. Yes, a journey. Life long. Some people can enjoy a job, some need freelance work, some need entrepreneurship, some no profit volunteering. There is no unique mandatory path and type of work suitable for everyone. The same holds for money: it all depends on how it is earned and spent, so it is very subjective.

[JediPhantom]

It's not about riches for me or 7 income streams, but living a peaceful life with as minimal stress as possible.
