So hold up... once you start working you only have 1-2 free hours a day?

[cardioman_23]

it's all about time management op, prioritize

[Chezdon]

There is glass half full people and half glass empty people. Work is a part of life. We as a society are not in a post scarcity, cashless world yet.. These are things most people have to deal with.

You can either learn to appreciate the little things or cry like a little bich.

For me, I like being in a routine. I live a 2 miles away from work and in the warm months I ride my bike. I also have 3 weeks of vacay that I spread around and maximize time. I usually have roughly 5-6 hours of freetime after working a full time 8-5.

When you yanks talk about vacancy time is that including public holidays eg xmas day? Three weeks is fuking slavery if it doesn't.

[CaliSuperSport]

Some of y'all are seriously on that millennial entitled time. Fukk, none of ya gonna make it.

I call it adulthood. Someone quoted my post and called it "cope". Sure, whatever you like, but your inability to accept reality will be your downfall, srs. You guys act like it's not tolerable. I still have my weekends and if you don't live to work and don't work for material things, then you'll make time for regular vacations and time off.

I'm seriously happy - but I guess that's just cope, right?

Times have changed brah. Not everyone sees the day job as the only career path anymore.

There's 18 year olds making 6 figures with a few social media posts a day. Hard pill to swallow. I know the OP's feels.

[DrunkPanda18]

My commute is less than 10 minutes, srs. It's the only way to live, boyos.

[Love-Feet]

And in that time you misc yourself dumb, congrats

If thats something you dwell on you'll always be miserable

[krazy33]

You guys think its harsh but do you know what the alternative is?

You realize if we didnt have jobs wed have to kill our own food which means wed be hunting

Humans need to stay busy

This. Not that anyone ITT is really doing it but I hate the "enlightened" anti-establishment lets all be successful and quit our day jobs morans out there who don't realize society is a great thing.. it is most beneficial to our quality of life and is a group effort which is the positive part people don't understand. We are all literally contributing to a better lifestyle for each other.

you're right. you gotta act if you want to improve your own life.

Being jelly gets you nowhere.

Not a GOAT shcedule but definitely helps...

M: 7-8
Tues: off
Wed: 7-8
Thurs: 7-12
Fri: 7-6

BRB no traffic ever except friday nights
BRB still time to go to the gym, shower, eat and get to bed at reasonable times all days (except maybe wednesdays)\
BRB hour lunch, can workout during lunch
BRB only working and commuting 4 days
BRB get all errands done on Tuesdays, workout extra long, jerk off with no one bothering me, or sit in bed all day


The 7-8s are pretty long, but dont seem THAT much longer than an 8-5 which I worked previously. Not dealing with traffic is awesome in the Philly area, on the road before its heavy and its usually pretty light by 8 PM and noon. Week is pretty broken up so everyday feels different.

I think with any 40-50hr job including commute (and preparing for the job) its gonna feel like shyt for spare time. Nurses may have the GOAT schedule at 3 12 hr shifts if they dont work nights.

I agree man, gotta be more to life than this grind. I think by like 40 Id accept being poor over this SRS

A new alternative is emerging, one based in automation and deep learning/big data.

I recommend the book; Abundance by Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler.

Humans need to stay busy

You can stay busy, without going to paid job.

I dont really think so man.

The point implied is that you need to stay busy like youre trying to survive.

You can stay busy playing video games but its not integral to life. This imo is where existential angst stems from. Because were so far removed from survival people have lost purpose

Tons of studies show that people feel better in the workplace; AND people need to feel apart of something in order to feel good. You remove jobs you remove that purpose conducive to life; like youre doing something integral to being productive

[Ghostinajar]

brb 9 hour work day
2 hour commute
8 hours sleep
2 hours gym
1 hour doing chores






lmao no way im doing that **** for the rest of my life

Haha wait until (if) you have kids my man.

Wake up to feed kids and dogs.
Eat breakfast while getting ready for work.
Drive to work.
Work.
Find a giant fish.
**** its brains out.
Drive home from work.
Feed kids dinner.
Hang out with wife and kids.
Read kids stories.
Smash wife.
Try to fit in hobbies.
Shower.
Repeat.

Or, people can use their free time to:

Learn a craft, or crafts.

Learn an art, or arts.

Learn to play a musical instrument, or instruments.

Travel and explore.

Play a sport, or sports.

Educate themselves.

Learn a language, or languages.

Practicing engineering in their spare time (drones were developed by a Guy wanting to give his kid something cool to play with, Srs.)

Volunteer work.

There is a positive correlation with being poor, and the likelihood of mental illness.

http://www.npr.org/sections/goatsand...mental-illness

http://www.poverty.org.uk/62/index.shtml


Have you ever been poor? Watering down milk, poor? Periodically experiencing no electricity, because the bill isn't paid, poor? Damp on walls, but can't afford to move, poor?

I have, I grew up that way as a child, in London.

It's very stressful.

And there are people living in far worse conditions than I was growing up.

Arguments about finances and money are a cited as a key trigger for break ups.

I think you are romanticizing what life is like, when you literally are trying to survive, week after week. It's not romantic - based on experience.

[Autopilot]

holy chit at 2 hour commute. Thats like living in San Diego and working in LA. If that's your case then yeah, I see why you would wanna kill yourself

Try LA rush hour. When I lived in LA it would take me 2 hours to get home from work and it wasn't that far of a drive.

[EatnCleans]

sup with the chocolates bro?

[Omnivium]

This is another one of those threads where people post their schedules on paper and act like they have tons of free time. But that's just cope. Real life doesn't work like that, you don't just teleport everywhere instantly and have full energy to do stuff 24/7.

If you work 40+ hours, commute, and lift, now do that for a few years straight, you will NOT have the energy to go do some active hobbies every day for 3 hours after work. You will just want go home and relax, watch tv or play some video games before you have to do it all again tomorrow

Exactly but thats the point. Youre so preoccupied that you are actually living NOT contemplating living

We need food so our brains are NEEDS based. Regardless of whether you want to fight it or not you likely cant get rid of that need for preoccupation because its tied directly to survival

Ive been pretty poor. When i was 18 my parents lost all of their money and i was expected to fund my own college. And ive also been affluent. Of course i wouldnt prefer poor but the rich are naive as phuck and living life on flatline. In other words, they dont know what pure joy is theyre just there

This guy knows. You can't even comprehend what "not having time" is like until you have kids.

Along those same lines you don't even know what being tired is until you have kids.

Id agree with this honestly. Theres really not much difference in happiness between a person working 40 hours per week at 20 an hour or the VP/Doctor making 500k a year working 50-60 hours. Everyone on the same schedule working hard. Perhaps the higher income gets an extra vacation per year, drives a "nicer" car and a bigger house, but everyones pretty much just as stressed, doing the same **** at the same time.


Its actually pretty amazong. I went to school in the hood and the welfare kings, dirt poor and all, seemed to be the happiest people I came across. Literally just chillin all the time, doing whatever they want, no stress, basketball, bbq, drugs, hangout 7 days per week.

[SavageBrah84]

OP get a proper degree and education next time my dad has the GOAT life.

Wake up 5am
leaves for work at 6am
10 minute work commute
Dad finishes all his work at 12pm
dad comes home at 2pm bc he is required to stay till then
dad has free time from 2pm until it's time to sleep
He has weekends off and 3 months off during summer.
Also has two weeks off for spring and winter break that he gets off, and it's paid.

Guarantee he makes a **** ton more then you also, use your brain next time brah

[Nicklol]

2 or 3 hours a day of free time for me..after work and gym.

I spend it eating,listening to trance/deep house, swiping tinder with no luck and hoping a girl I was dating before will talk to me again.. it doesnt happen and then I go to sleep sad every night.

4 months on 3 months off

[gunshow101]

i wake up at noon then spend most of the day cutting out pictures of cakes i find in magazines.

[Atem69]

Fukin lol at quitting after one day because you wouldn't have much free time. If you're smart with your money you won't have to work like that the rest of your life

You sound like one of those lazy unmotivated entitled *******s of my generation

You want financial freedom and want to be able to work less or not at all then put in the work required to make that happen or quit your bitching
