I don't want to work full-time: Freedom, part-time jobs, income & future anxieties

I don't want to work full-time and I never will. I want to have my freedom to explore life on my own terms, working part-time and learning to be my own person in the rest of the time. I talk about my future anxieties, income and mindset in this video, as well as how I chose this lifestyle, when the right time is to switch to working part-time and what the upsides of that are. I also talk about why I don't want to work full time and why I'm not lazy, I JUST want to live MY life. I don't dream of labor.

This is exactly what i mean. I dont want to work my life away. I want to live . Live simply and with less stress. This environment isn’t normal

[marys]

Love this! I left a 6 figure full time job to work part time and have no regrets. I only work 3 days a week now and have more time for myself and family. I hated the 9 to 5 job being trapped by the golden handcuffs. Id rather be in control of my own life/time rather than living to just work and buy more materials, bigger house, fancy cars, etc. That stuff won't matter if you don't have the time or energy to enjoy it.

Full time work culture is just exploitation. We only live so long, and I've seen what our culture has done to my parents. They worked their entire lives, and then they retire in their old age. It's such a waste of a life we only get one of.

[chanellaDaboss]

Thank God, I’m not the only one who doesn’t want a full time job. I don’t want to live my life working… I want to have my free afternoons to pick up my daughter, breathe, do things i love, work on my business. I don’t want to invest all my life in someone else’s entreprise.

[marlensalinas]

I’m 26 and recently went part time as a nurse, I was afraid of what people would say because I’m not married or have kids, But I was feeling so burned out and just unfulfilled with life. On my list of people to satisfy.. I was the last one!! Now I can live comfortably and do things I enjoy without feeling rushed…I was so stressed out all the time that I was losing hair, I wasn’t able to sleep on nights before work, I was even having nosebleeds from the stress. I felt like I was constantly trying to meet a deadline, but the deadline never came. Life is so much more simple now ❤ Praying we all find our paths in this life!

Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks so. I'm not lazy. I just don't want to spend my life and youth making rich people even richer. Working full time, I only have the strength to eat and sleep. And again the next morning to go to work. At 23, I quit 3 jobs and now I’m running a YouTube channel, my family didn’t react well to this. but I’m already close to monetization and I believe that soon I’ll be able to get paid doing what I love.

I’m 26 and still live at home with my mom. We split the bills even and I work a part time job which is fine for me. For some reason I have this pressure that I should be doing more, that I’m not doing enough. I try to get full time jobs but they always end up to be extremely stressful, I stop eating, I’m exhausted, etc! And I always end up going back to something part time. I hate that hustle culture guilt/feeling. But I’m worried about the future expenses

[dwaynelamberts]

Its funny because when I worked part time I felt
More energized and was happy as soon as I went fulltime I felt tired, feeling like I had no time for myself

[huntforberries]

I don't give a shit about working. I literally don't have a corporate bone or passion for any formal obligations.

I have a loose idea of what the future may look like in terms of this but I know I just can't

[alexandram.]

I went back to school a few years ago to upgrade my education thinking if I get a better job then working so much wont be as painful… I’m 35 now, I have my “dream job” that pays fairly well, half the time I work from home, and yet… I am now planning my escape, by 2024 i plan to work for myself and only work part time hours. I have no children, I have many hobbies and friends and close family. That is where I want to spend my time.

Thank you for this video, I started my first job this year after finishing school and I absolutely hate it. I feel like it's draining my life energy. I barely have any free time because I also work out after work 3 times per week and when I get home I don't have any energy or motivation and want to go straight to bed. I basically live for my job and I sit 8+ hours in a chair every day doing mind-numbing tasks that I don't care about to make someone else rich. It's a miserable life in my opinion.

Even if I made more money, I would hate this job. Time is so much more valuable than money. I think I'm gonna quit my job soon. I just need to figure out how to tell my family.

[troylechampion]

I worked part time for a year and a half after working full time and it was the best time of my life. The only issue is once I picked up full time again I found it hard to be motivated to work full time again.

[penguingobrrbrr]

all I love in my life is my health and the fact that I have a roof above my head and food on my table 24/7 I don't have fancy cars or big houses/flat or some expensive materials, meanwhile my friends live in big houses expensive materials good looking new cars and they all complain to me how exhausted they are and im laughing inside because I just realized I found a peace and freedom with me even thought I have to work but I work for myself

[mermaidlu]

Looked this up because I hate to work . I feel depressed when I do like I have no life no time to enjoy myself

[crisorchi]

Having to cook for work, or plan what to eat at work, rushing to eat on lunch break, rushing or missing breakfast altogether is a BIG reason why I hate jobs! I'd rather take my time deciding on what I want to eat and enjoy a nice meal with no time constraints 😋 😌

[Rosielovesmusic]

Thank you for your post. I have similar thoughts to you. I'm 37, never married or had children. I left a full time teaching job at the end of 2018. In 2019, I began working part time in tutoring and have been in this job since. I needed to hear this because sometimes I feel judged by others for taking this path but I know it's the right one for me.

[katmancilla]

I adore this video. I’m a part time worker who is working on minimalism and I couldn’t agree more.

Keep at it! Your life is more important than just working all the time.

[meandmyimagination]

Same here. Thanks for sharing :) I thought I was lazy and felt bad about it, but now, after experiences and stuff, I understand. I don't want to pass my whole day at work, getting home and instead of cuddling or communicate, we just act like zombies. I rather have a balance between my private life and my career. Thank you for this video, it helped me a lot 😄
