Antiwork

I got tired of the rat race, working 9 to 5 in a job I hated and making money for my boss. I’m sure most people here have the same sentiment as me. I decided that I needed to work myself out of the 9-5 trap rather than accept my fate. I started living far below my means and pulled in as much OT as I can (am an RN). In 10 years I managed to save up enough and have enough capital/borrowing power to invest in RE and stocks. Currently, I’m well-diversified and own multiple incomes streams (mainly from my rental units). I’m able to live just off my investment but I still work 20 hours just to get myself busy. It’s not impossible guys. Sacrifice a decade to live the next 5 happy! Edit: Lot of assumptions that I'm privileged or got lucky. I grew up in a…

A few weeks ago I saw a post on this sub recommending websites for doing your taxes yourself for free and i can’t remember what they were and i can’t find the thread. Anybody mind making recommendations? Also uh f*ck capitalism?

Sell air scrubbers! Only way to make money is to sell an overpriced(1700, currently) item that doesn't work to people that are financing the nine dollar “tune up”, one paid in quarters. Boss doesn't listen, doesn't want input on how to fix the ongoing problems, just wants air scrubbers. Anyways, last thing he told me when I turned in my van was that “money is the most important thing in the world”. I was shocked, and asked if…

I worked for Bunnings warehouse which is a HUGE hardware store in New Zealand I was in the timber yard, like always super short staffed so I was running all day. A customer was lurking very close to the sideways forklift while it was moving so I asked him not to step infront of it he then screamed “I'm not a fucking moron” then stepped right in front of one of the wheels when I screamed stop he went NUTS! About half way threw this shift I was stationed on the door checking receipts by this point I'm pooped! from trying to keep up with customers shop lifting and needing help, the brand new store manager caught me leaning against a pile of drywall for half a moment and jumped on me asking why everyone thinks it's OK to sit on the job. I spent 30 mins trying not to…
