What can those of us who can barely keep slaving away do?
In my particular example and to keep it short, I have multiple serious debilitating illnesses. All made worse by working.
I'm talking for the less fortunate among us, that for one reason or another, working makes their life a living hell. Big difference between not liking your job vs work making you sick.
Being a slave sucks. But being a sick slave is a nightmare.
I'm in my early 30s and since entering the 30s I've become increasingly aware of my mortality. When not working (weekends), I feel OK – I'd like to keep going, Come the workweek, and I want everything to end. The pain is too much.
A few ideas I've gathered so far:
-Get a job with a 4 days a week instead of 5 d/week
-Work part-time and massively decrease living expenses – of which the biggest one is housing. (E.g., live with multiple roommates, live in a van)
-Go the other away and instead of decreasing work, increase it. Somehow be able to work 2+ jobs with the goal of retiring ASAP.
I'd like to read what other ideas you guys have. Thanks a lot.
