This is all extremely bad advice.
To sum it up: work is a long endless grind that will alienate you, therefore therefore left-libertarian flavoured YOLO.
Without downplaying the existing structures of social oppression, you may be lucky to live in a country and a time where you have rights.
In that case, you need to decide for yourself what you want in life (economically).
You need to decide how much money you want, how many hours a week you want to work, how many sabbatical to take and when to retire (these choices can always be made within what the economic environment allows).
You can refuse to think about these questions, this how you’ll get trapped working for someone else’s dream.
- badpun 3y agoThat's exactly right. For example, I decided I prefer to live on $500-$1000 a month to having to work more years. So, I retired as soon as I could afford $1k till the rest of my life. It's not a life rich in material goods, but, in my experience, the stuff that brings me the most value is super cheap, and after that it's mostly diminishing returns.
- FFP999 3y agoInteresting, if you don't mind sharing a little, what do you do with your time?
- badpun 3y agoIt's been only 10 months now. So far, I've played a lot of my favorite video games, read books, fixed some things around the apartment, learned a lot of new cooking recipes, tried my hand at new programming areas (however, I'm pretty spent there, as I've explored a lot in previous years already), watched a lot of youtube and tv shows. It's a bit boring, but beats working. All in all, not a very active lifestyle, but I think that's me. I just don't have a lot of motivation to do things beyond what's necessary, and was always like that.
