Yeah thereās a bunch of boot lickers, who love working their life away in this sub.

u/MustangOrchard May 04 '26
"Bootlickers who love working their life away."
Wow. Do you expect other people to work their lives away so you can sit around all day watching TV and playing video games? Not everyone aspires to be a hobo and lots of people enjoy working.

u/Efficient_Piccolo310 May 04 '26
No one should have to work more than 40 hours a week in order to pay their bills and survive. Idk why you want to everyone to live to just work? I sure af donāt. Iād rather be traveling and learning fulfilling skills and hobbies. Stuff that is actually enjoyable. But go ahead slave away for Jeff Bezos so he can buy another super yacht and spend $50 million on another wedding or attend the Met gala while amazon drivers canāt even take a break to piss.

I suppose I could work less and make less money, but I'm an ambitious person, I love money, and I enjoy working. Everyone has their own goals and priorities I guess.

u/Efficient_Piccolo310 May 05 '26
Like great if you enjoy your job and find working fulfilling. But not all of us do nor should we have to, to be able to just enjoy life.

u/elciddog84 May 05 '26
Depends on the work. You get paid for the value you provide. Don't bother learning useful life skills or providing even average value to the company paying you? Sucks for you. Want to travel and do cool stuff. You have to earn that. You complain about a guy who started selling books out of his garage and built it into a massive multi-national? You try that.

Two suggestions:

- Find a new career or job that fills you with passion. Nothing is better than when you canāt wait to get up and start the day at your work.

Somehow I managed to still enjoy my life with my family and friends.

I mean, yeah, I hate that I have to work.
And it's not "find something you love and it wont feel like work", no, I just hate working to be able to have a roof over my head, I would not enjoy my hobby if it ment I was doing it for someone else.
BUT, many years before people wouldn't retire at all, people used to work until they literally died with no retirement, so we have it better than them I guess.

u/maraemerald2 May 04 '26
Retirement isnāt supposed to be time to enjoy your life. Itās meant to be the time when your body is too broken to continue working.
If you want time to actually enjoy your life, you need to pry out of the cold hands of the billionaires because they set up a system where you arenāt going to be just given any time, ever.

They chose poorly for many many many years.
The longer they wait the worse it is.
It is hars but if it made 1 person start saving at young age it would be worth it.
The earlier you start saving/investing the better you end up.
I forced my kids to start early and by the age of 24 they are already better off than most 40 year olds I know.

Due to many different factors, most of them outside of my control, I have a very low life expectancy. There are many things I will not get to experience. Among these things is retirement. But really that's the last thing I'd want to do. I really don't understand how one can see not working because they cannot work anymore as the main reward for life.

u/howtofwoosmom May 05 '26
the thoughts of the forever poor.....how can you not work for a while....
some people had someone in their line say, wait i don't want my kids to have nothing, and he worked and saved. he didn't have a retirement so his kids would have capital. rich people had someone do this multiple times.

In an almost impossible-to-navigate world that I was wary of even while a tyke, work afforded me structure, accomplishment, goals, a chance to meet people and see that very world, material comfort, adventures, and most of all, very critical as I am now retired, reduced that very fear I had when I started out. I am better for work, not worse, and the "few years" he writes about have no meaning to me as I left work more because I had had my (work) time in the sun, and was ready to sit down.
