I don’t want to work anymore

I don’t want to work anymore. Before you say it, I’ve been working since I was 16 (almost 14 years)

I’ve always had a consistent job even while I was in college.

I want to quit work.

2 things you might be thinking: “Well, get another job then” or “You need a job to support yourself and pay the bills”

I rather work for myself and make money for myself.

We’re on this hamster wheel of modern day slavery. The culture of hustling until you die or working until you die. There’s way more to life than that.

Most jobs that are currently available in this economy have you working for someone else and making a pre-set hourly wage. You are paid a certain amount of money and work hard to make them money.

I don’t want to work hard to make someone else more money.

For example, I’m a logo and brand designer who have spent hours and nights learning my trade and crafting my passion for design. I’ve always wanted a studio office as a brand designer and hire of team too.

I want to work hard for me to make myself money, not someone else who already have millions and millions of dollars to make them more millions.

I’m not saying you can’t make good money working for someone else. You can. It’s also called a partnership.

Also, I find it super unmotivated to work for someone else. It’s super unmotivated even with my diagnosis of fibromyalgia and depression. It’s gets slightly harder to even be motivated. Everything is so high and no one has the motivation to work anymore.

It is not the work itself

It’s the continuous rat race of it never being enough.

We’re just an employee number and worker laws weren’t enforced, we would be slaves

No matter how hard I work. I can work my behind off and put everything have or I can put the bare minimum and make the same amount.

We’re not talking about commissions either.

No matter how hard you work, you’ll make the same amount of money at these job.

It’s way more motivating to work for myself.

It’s a lot easier to motivate yourself to make yourself money than to be motivated to work to make someone else money.

My goal is to be financially free. That’s the overall goal I have. I want to make money to live my life
That’s about it. It’s that simple

One response to “I don’t want to work anymore”

  1. You hit the nail on the head, and it is exactly how I feel… been working since I was 14. I’m 48 now working a job I hate. I’ve been to college many times searching for an answer, but nothing seems to satisfy me except artistic endeavors. I can’t get jobs to pay me for that, so here I am! I don’t want to make others rich and don’t want to keep working in a public works setting…Ugh
