What's your alternative to wageslaving?

[John124]

Most users here seem to despise wageslaving. But what's your alternative? I'm self-employed rn and it's fucking boring tbh, I called the suicide hotline not long ago. When I had a job, I had at least humans I met regularly and there was office talk and all this stuff. The only good thing rn is that I can set my own schedule.

I think most people won't be able to be successful entrepreneurs. And being self-employed is boring. Also, you will likely make less money than with wageslaving. I'm thinking of starting a new career tbh, not only because I could make more money, but also because wageslaving would give me more social exposure and I think I would feel more proud because of the social proof of a 9-5 job. Only if I manage to make 500k or more with my investments the next years I would consider skipping wageslaving forever.

I think the lowest stress situation is a high paid professional salary + investing in stocks. Wageslaving sucks if you make a shit amount of money for your time. But if you make a good amount for your time and manage it well it's much better than the maximum stress involved with running a business.

You are not really dependent in that situation on managing other people to get your income and you have more leeway to adapt your lifestyle to what you want (highly skilled = high bargaining power as well). You show up, do a good job, feel confident about your skills, earn a good amount of money, put it to work earning money passively, and live off it once you are done accumulating a self-perpetuating fortune.

With a 2% yearly withdraw rate even at 20 years old with a 100% stock index portfolio won't ever get depleted and will likely grow significantly in excess of what you withdraw + the purchasing power loss from inflation.

House + Lexus + $2m in stocks is enough to live comfortably for life and that's obtainable with software salaries in 10-20 years if you save your money and job hop.

If you have inheritance coming your way it could happen even sooner.

in the USSR and China the working hours were and are the same as the west (40 hours a week)

I'm currently enjoying my wage slave job ngl. It requires physical work but it isn't even bad, which is what I thought before. The job pays very well for the work I do. The only problem I'm facing rn is that nobody would want me to continue this job (in the long term), not even my parents. I'd like to work a low stress job from home and invest in stocks side by side to earn more money. Freelancing might be the way.

I wanted to cryptomaxx and have a Youtube channel too. Ideal way to escape wageslaving.

But I think most won't make it.

how many followers do you have?

500k isn´t enough to comfortably retire in your 20s, especially if you want a family. And now think about taxes and inflation...

It really is becoming 8 figure networth or ldar ngl..

I said I *wanted to have a Youtube Channel, right now I don't have one. Maybe when I'm financially well off I will do it as my hobby.

With 500k at least you can live comfortably off dividends, but I agree if you want a family you would need much more.
