Hey bud, we need that excel spreadsheet finished for its inclusion in the 9am presentation Monday. You think can hop on today and finish that? K thanks enjoy your Sunday 😊👍🏽
@@Astrothunder_ nah ain’t no way. I work in healthcare and we have our corporate irritants as well but I would be appalled if someone asked me that on my day off.
I have been thinking about this SAME thing.... our jobs suck the life out of us so that someone else can live comfortably and its started to bother me that I make just enough to Pay bills and have a little fun and the person/people that I am working for have 100s of thousands of dollars in the bank and living very comfortably.
@@simonw3722 Back when I only worked 40/168 hours in the week, I was a mess, I felt anxious and depressed that I wasn't "enough". Now with my own business I do 80 hours a week and I don't even have time to think about mental health, and im financially free for life. You have to find a way to be self employed. If you cant scale it, its a waste of time.
@@simonw3722 I deliver packages for Amazon. I don’t enjoy it… but I only work 4 days a week. 10hr shifts. I deliver XL packages so my body is usually sore.
I also work an IT work from home job and I'll say this. I don't wanna encourage any bad habits but as you continue to work you'll learn how to game the system. And what you can and cannot get away with. Does your job require you to stay glued to the screen while you're on the clock? I'm not tryna encourage any bad habits here, but the better you get at the job the easier it is to learn how much time your tasks actually take vs how much time the company wants you to spend on it, and can use the rest as "me" time. For example, my job requires prolly like 4-5 hrs of actual work and I consider the rest of the time as mine to do whatever I want. It helps with making you feel like you have better work life balance and you have more control over your time. Don't do nun egregious like them ppl who be at the grocery store in the middle of the day while they supposed to be on the clock, but you do have the luxury of working from home in the way that what the boss doesn't know what hurt em. As long as you still get your work done! As far as the soul crushing feeling of working a job that you don't like, that never really fully goes away, at least not in my experience, but there are things you can do to make it manageable.
@philsbootleg Yup, the more mature and calm you are too the more they push. I've quit 10 jobs in the last 6 years. Don't regret a single one Saved my mental everytime. Gonna keep trying until I find a spot with some normal people lmao.
It's really just my fault, took me 10 jobs to realize every and all corporate jobs paying between 15 - 18$ an hour really don't give af who they make manager as long as they show up and want the position. Lesson learned, It's not me, these people are crazy narcissists with no skills in any part of life, that's why they're stuck at these places forever. Don't doubt yourself guys. If your job is truly ruining your heart and good soul, leave. Take a breather for a couple weeks get back to it. Especially if your young like I.
@@clausi_aidenif it makes you feel better I’m in the field of process engineering and have the same exact problem. The only difference is you get a little bit more tolerance for bs cause of the salary but even still once you’re used to it you’re always wanting more so it make you wonder why you’re there after a certain point
You feel this way because you’ve realized there’s more to life. You grow up and are taught, shown, and influenced about what life is, should be, and could be. Happens for people at different ages. Straight out of school and some don’t realize til their 40’s or 50’s. Some never do.
Bro I feel it. My co worker always asks me “why do you always clock in and clock out on the dot” he said “if you don’t love your job then why do you do it”. And I’m like MF I do it because I got family to take care of and I don’t spend any extra time at work because I need that extra time to work on my craft so I don’t have to be here forever. I’m still grateful for my job but I’m not gonna sit around and pretend like I enjoy it to please a boss or a higher up. I hate it, but I love my family so I do it.
@@kmodahighestwe all in a situation where we can’t drop our batons , even in everyone’s situation others got it worse so we gotta make it happen until we know it happened kmo
00:44 - 98% of people work for money but only a FEW will admit this. People, especially in white collar corporate work like to put up this facade and fake enthusiasm for the job, then look at you side ways when you keep it real. I think your feeling of WTF is heightened by the fact you actually made money outside of traditional work doing something on your own terms. This also happens to athletes, musicians or entertainers who have to go back to the work force for whatever reason. When you have done something you actually enjoy, that is genuinely fun and then you go to a 'regular' work force it can be super underwhelming. On top of that you have to deal with internal jealous haters because of your successful past. Inevitably you will be left with this 'is this it?' sensation. I would suggest not sharing your feelings with co-workers because they will try to set you up and take what you say out of context. They will change a statement like "I only work for money" to "so and so said he does not want to be here" 👀. All in an effort to impress the boss when you are not around. Stay safe bro, it is a real cold world out here...
I'll be honest man, I felt that way when I was younger. I gave up a 9-5 to sell drugs and party with my friends. I made alot of memories I wouldn't trade for the world. The flip side of that is, it's easy to make wrong decisions, MASSIVE wrong decisions when you're chasing fast money. I ended up getting addicted to hard drugs for years. As bad as you think it could get, it was that. Homeless, like for real homeless, getting Infections from shooting up, jail and rehab, all that. Now as a 34 year old man, with 7 years (as of December 4th 2024) clean, with a good, stable job, I look forward to it. I don't get out much anymore, so my coworkers are one of my few face to face genuine social interactions these days. I understand the soul sucking monotony of it all, and I get that, but im tired now. I just wanna go to work, come home and chill and play games, and see my family and cpl of friends. I'm not here to tell anyone how to live or feel, that's just how I live and feel, kind of simplified. Love your videos homie 👍 👌
❤❤ this new generation is so use to encouraging each other to complain about things that are actually helping them and changing their lives. 😂 the amount of tik toks Gen z post complaining about having a job, but most of them would end up having to move back home is crazy. Most of them just want to sleep all day. I just think it’s really the massive influence they all are having on each other that’s making it worst. Also social media is distorting peoples prospective about money.
Same here. Semi retired for just 3 years and now I’m running back to work, about a month fresh. You don’t know what you don’t know and things aren’t always how they appear. I have a different outlook on work now. It still sucks but work can never be avoided. It’s truly about finding something you enjoy doing, literally. If you don’t have that you have to grind until you find it.
@@TriggaTreDay exactly im 22 this is sorry asl.. i worked sales at 21 for a year driving an hour an 15 min to and from work to go door to door tryna sell roofs, some weeks made 0$. The entitlement of some people is hilarious. Routine brings me peace after working for commision only having so much uncertianty. I believe its okay to want more, but you need a stable job to stack up bread and set aside for side hustles. people wanna go out and party and shi like thats "living life" and a "work life balance". shit is a waste of time literally have jesus, workout make money set and acomplish goals that is the only balence you need. discipline is balance, freedom is peace. entitlement is where this all comes from.
I feel you man, every job I've had feels like a means to an end. It can be soul draining to dedicate so much time to a role you dont care for. You're blessed with a job. Maybe set a timeframe for how long you stay without quitting. Once that time comes, consider if you like the job or move on.
Quit my job over 2 years ago, and damn those Sundays used to have me in shambles knowing I had to be at work extra early Monday. I was in sales, and on Monday we went over last weeks performance and who ever didn’t perform got absolutely obliterated, humiliated and threatened. I still suffer extreme PTSD over this.
@@TriggaTreDay I was there for 11 years with multiple locations and highest capped out salary and a team of 22 employees. There was literally no point in staying there since both my businesses were doing well.
@@nainfuego well it seems like you didn’t need that job at all. This conversation was centered around people who need their jobs but hate them 😂. Your explanation comes off completely different from your original statement. It could totally send a much different message to a novice that’s all. But congratulations on your success bro.
@@TriggaTreDay I was chiming into the fact that jobs can demoralize you, I never wanted to start my own business but I HATED the amount of time that I was at my job (which he covers in the video). I now work pretty much 24/7 but it’s building something I can hopefully pass onto my kids if I ever have any. Also Thank you!
I’m in the EXACT same position as you. I make about $75k from my full time and $35k part time and make maybe about $12,000 from music royalties, UA-cam, twitch etc. (scaling up on the UA-cam). The weekends feel like sunshine and rainbows but as soon as Monday hits it’s like 💀. Recently I told myself I want to get so good at my job where I don’t even have to think about it that way it isn’t as mentally draining. The goal is to just funnel all my income into scaling my UA-cam and getting into real estate. I want to make $10k a month consistently and quit then pour more into what makes me feel alive which is creating music, videos, teaching, learning. I know you’ll make it out. You have a legitimate skill which is UA-cam. UA-cam education is in high demand and you have the proof to charge people for consultation. You’ll be able to help people and constantly work on something you actually find interesting and passionate about. Best of luck bro. Let’s get out of the rat race. Everyone who read this 💯🙏
I found you a couple weeks ago and I like your video style a lot. It feels like we talkin frfr. Just wanted to let you know you encouraged me to go in on content creating. Also, it sounds like you on the right path I hope you keep on going!
keep after your vision man. one thing to embrace in your situation is: being able to create from a place where you aren't stressed or "need" a video to blow up can be a blessing.
Outdoor movement helps. Fresh air and seeing further than 20 feet in front of you is really good for your mind. We trap ourselves in a prison all day for paper. a paper that is losing it's value fast every day too.
I’m 22 and I’ve worked at Starbucks for almost 4 years. I’ve realized it from the day I started working that we are just hamsters running in a wheel for corporate America. Right now I want to start real estate school which I’m going to do today. I’m currently trying to become a store manager at Starbucks. Point is, it may really suck to put in the work at a slave job, but there is a ton of life skills, time management, people skills Etc. but you really can make the most out of these jobs and get the most experience. Make the most out of every moment. I wanna make Starbucks my bitch and become CEO. Probably won’t happen but that’s the attitude I have. Let’s beat this fucking system and be different than the 95% who just gives in to the world’s shenanigans.
As a 10 year IT engineer that’s just starting a UA-cam channel, I can say your not alone and I feel everything you saying. I’m on the opposite side having that engineer job that’s stressful and soul crushing but just starting my UA-cam channel and learning that stuff. Your feeling is normal my man but good thing you know UA-cam already, I’m having to learn it with that after work tired feeling you spoke of. My guy you are not alone when you talk about working IT. I don’t do it because I enjoy it, I do it because I’m good at it and it pays really well. There are IT guys and then there are guys in IT. You and I are guys in IT, in it because we’re good at it and not by choice. IT guys are the ones that eat sleep and breathe IT. You’ll get through it and you’re not alone.
I used to work 4 Am to 1 Pm 5 days a week only getting 1 day off at a time because they would split my work days. Everyone looked at me crazy when I said I was losing my mind and quit. There were some people there for 35 years, 20 years, 10 years, I could never wrap my head around that. I get people have different struggles and mindsets but for other people its just not it.
I had this same feeling and a lot of it went away when i got a hybrid job. I'm "working" right now while my laundry is running and I'm (obviously) watching a youtube video. Some seasons are busy, but during slow times I enjoy being able to take 5 minutes to go chat with my roommate or take out the trash. I enjoy work actually ending at 5:00:00pm and not an hour later when I finally make it home and decompress. I still get Sunday Scaries to a degree but it's NOT a deep feeling of dread like before. Just a sort of "aww man, I can't do whatever I want. Well, work will be fine." I know not everyone can do this but if you ever find yourself applying again, focus on remote and hybrid! It also helps tremendously to have coworkers you enjoy, work you can comfortably tolerate, and fun plans for after work so that M-F isn't just waiting for the weekend to come so you can actually enjoy yourself
Phillippians 2 14-15 Hope it helps I know exactly what you are going through brotha. I am a father and husband in the military. The days I feel it’s over whelming I put my head down in silence and do what must be done and keep looking for ways to fight and leverage my family into a better financial situation. Keep working, it’s frustrating I know. You are AMAZING keep going. Keep fighting. GRIT.
Great video man, this video opened my eye on multiple things and how I should stop spending money on insignificant things, and spend it on stuff Ill enjoy in the long term
I can tell you just moved into that apartment. The blank wall empty room says it all. Same here I just got approved for my apartment in October. I know how it is dawg keep grinding we finna get there! Never give up man I appreciate your videos you be saying some interesting stuff and you keep it real I like dat! Keep up the good work! I’m glad I subscribed!
I feel you on every level man, been feeling like this, still is. And like you said it ain't laziness I think it's something way deeper. But I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this
Wow! AMAZING! You’re living my past years when I worked remotely for Apple Support and man did I feel drained feeling with Customer Service, rude customers, and 9 HOURS out of my day for 5 days a week! Would be so tired after my shift to even sit on my computer to do my OWN CONTENT! We hella living the same life!
JD, this is how I felt when I got a job out of college. I was able to take a break and I think I found something worth working for. We'll see how that holds up when I can find a job again because that shit can be soul crushing. Thanks for making and sharing this very human video.
The most annoying part is when you WFH and people downplay the amount of energy you exert. Yeah I’m at home but I’m not able to relax how I want to. I’m literally glued to this computer focusing on stuff I couldn’t care less about.
@ deadass. I wouldn’t trade the convenience of my job for anything, but that lack of social interaction hits different. Let my girl be mad at me that week and boom there goes my one source of socialization. Try to go out and do my hobbies after work and just get caught up in traffic with everyone else who just got off lol
yea but coming from someone that works outdoors in construction is even worse, i will take sitting on my ass and getting paid rather than coming back home sweating and dying of exhaustion
I started a channel when i graduated college and I just hit 76k after taking it seriously and grinding so hard to make it a full time but it is so inconsistent and not sustainable for me right now and im dreading getting a job but i know i need to for life i want. I definitely feel you bro. I want my own spot and i don’t see myself affording that without having sustainable income. It’s actually depressing to think about. I had a sales job where I could see how much I was selling and I didn’t feel like I was being compensated for my skills and how much I was making the company but somehow older people just think it’s normal to be undervalued as long as bills are being paid and I hate that
bro im in the same exact situation as you (without the youtube, just a different job offer) and you make me feel not alone. i appreciate your uploads brodie
Man bro, just for some perspective - I make a to-do list of things I want to accomplish for the day and I consistently write "Lord Hec Squad" at the top of the list because your life are MY goals. Like you said, "people would kill to be in my position" I am people. Just remember that your problems are very often someone else's dreams. I always remember hearing this quote that said "if everyone threw their shit in a pile, you would grab yours back, SO FAST" anyways love your channel man hope you're doing good.
hey man, i discovered your channel not so long ago from your video talking about how much you make from IT & course careers. You inspired me to look into it & consider it as an option for myself but I know deep down with just a little more patience there are better opportunities out there. I've never really had a 'career' & have just been hoping job to job just to survive & i hear what you are saying man. It's the routine of our jobs that slowly start to suck the life out of us & become our identities. Everyone loves talking about having a 'work life' balance but the reality is most people just live in dread when they get off work & stress mentally on how to survive tomorrow. I guess i am posting this because i've been watching almost every upload of yours since than & i know there will be more opportunities for you outside of IT. just view this time as a step towards your journey & remember that you are not stuck unless if you tell yourself that you are.
I do 9 to 5 pm everyday , I’m a dad and I also operate a UA-cam channel and twitch . I stream sometimes till 12 or 1am wake up at drop my kid to daycare then Go to work for 8:30 am ! Let stay strong God is with us !
It’s crazy how you’re younger than me and we’re kind of in the same space at the same time an artist weighing thier options that creative spark feels trapped in that 9-5 setting especially when you know you can get paid an uncapped amount for your results but you still want to sustain a regular income!
You getting real real on this video. I feel you. Thats why im trying to build up a side hustle so i wont feel stuck to a 9-5 but my interest is around art and web design/dev. Im worried about it not picking up.
I get what you’re saying but you’re so blessed to have a remote job that people want, and you can still afford to do things after work. Yes the typical 9-5 and 8hr+ shifts should be changed but being able to only have to work one job. Instead of multiple to meet ends is truly great.
@@colin985 a remote job and doing UA-cam is two jobs if you weren’t listening. Ppl only want a “his” job because of the pay and it’s remote his whole argument is that jobs a time consuming and also deprives you of other things. Go watch the news.
@@kaydoez7054 I literally work full time job and full time college and still have time for hobbies as well as other things. It’s how you manage your time and there’s people who work 12hrs+ who are essential to each country surviving. Complaining is fine but trying to act like most things are needed is false there is a reason everyone can’t just become business owners, influencers etc people have to work to support those individuals
Bruh, I feel the same way. I work 7-5 I made 70k this year. And this is what I asked for new car, new house and Monday comes I just wanna die haha. But this is where we are now.
I believe part of what you're feeling is due to you experiencing work-life balance the opposite way of most people. Most go straight to the 9-5 right away, and then follow their passion and find freedom years down the line. You fortunately lived out your passion/hobby first, became financially free with content creation first and then "went backwards" (in a sense) with a 9-5 after getting a taste of the sweet and flexible life At least this way, if you do decide to leave the 9-5 at some point in the future, you already know how to get your footing as a full-time entrepreneur I highly recommend learning how to trade forex or futures as another source of income
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I love your honesty on everything since the content about the monetization on your channels from this new journey working a 9-5 job. That's the type of content that people are usually too afraid to share, but we can all learn from your experience. I would say do whatever feels right for you, in your heart and doesn't matter the rest.
I finally got a leadership position but I’ve put in work after graduating dealing with micromanaging and just tedious customer support work. It all pays off in the end get your experience up and then go for what you really want or at least step out comfort zone.
Keep the job a lot of people are suffering right now. Save for an emergency as much as you can. This will only benefit you. Yes it sucks but not all days are bad and there will be good days ahead.
As far as working from home, for the sake of your sanity, it helps having your desk by the window so you can look out instead of at the screen, and doing whatever you can to go out and do more for yourself with the little time you do have- that’s all I got. May the odds be ever in your favor
Also at 19:35 when you say your seeing your friends and dancers that all distractions. Keep your head on straight write down your goals and where you want to be and execute Delayed Gratification is very real and its coming to you soon!
Hey man i just wanted to say that I have been so motivated by your from your last few videos and that the best way is to just let people know they gotta give you a heads up on times and dates. I don't know how things happen behind the scene was never a part of content creation but really working my own 9-5 and doing full timer school its all deff possible i mean yeah just wanted to say i respect your for keeping with it brother :) " It all starts with what you do after work " make your plays within that timeframe use that time and you would deff get far with whatever your pursuing
Hey luv!!! You have every right to feel as you do. You will get to where you would like to be, just maintain the job as long as possible. Stay positive!!! Job diary
I loved how you said your mother calls, and it is very relatable what you are feeling. Before you looked at the camera and said you feel like you are sometimes looking at the computer like...I laughed and thought that sounds like when something bores me. The first thing I considered is you sitting still for all those hours because you have an energy about you. Hey you are a very wise young man, I remember reading or hearing this saying life is 80 percent of doing what we have to do and 20 percent of doing what we want to do...and that like you mention even applies to side gigs and content creation cause it's all work the difference is doing what one loves verses what one must. You are so young, skilled, personable and reasonable so whatever you choose I'm sure you will be blessed! No you are not ungrateful, just keeping it real. It could help someone else going through the same know they are not alone. Sharing is caring! 💯💯
What you are feeling bro is what we call "the rat race" or "hamster wheel". What you got to do is stack your bread up and learn how to multiply it aggressively then passively. But yea I'm actually glad we have to go to work to survive because think about it most mobs/riots /protest rally happen because people don't got a job to go to, not all but most of them. People would be doing some scetchy things if they were given free time all the time. Stack your bread and build new skills everyday until you are doing something you love or can tolerate, also invest in stuff like dividends for the future.
😂 that’s exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately the human mind can’t be idol because we tend to gravitate towards trouble, it’s just our animal instinct. Jobs have single handedly saved humanity from devouring itself. History tells it all. Unfortunately we are heading towards dark times, social media is speeding up that clock. But I hope and pray we all can get it together before then.
I feel your pain bro, always said the same thing, it kills my soul. I’m 4 years in, plotting my next move soon. Save your money, get your credit good etc. do what you gotta do to better your standing financially. You’ll figure out the next thing before you know it, corporate is temporary for me, I feel like it is for you too lol. It won’t be forever 💪🏽
The land is self-sustaining. I wish I didn’t need money but I have a son on the way. I want to surf, farm, and take tourist around the island with my fiancé.
I wouldn’t work a second where I work currently if I didn’t need to or didn’t have a family. Energy and time wasted. But it could be worse and we mustn’t be ungrateful, as hard as is it enables us to live in this insane world
"if there was no need for money i wouldnt be working this job" brother thats like 99% of humanity of all our history on this planent.😂 Not starving is a big motivator though.
I feel the same bro, I am immigrant working at warehouse, can't take a course of higher qualification cuz it's expensive for me and my English is not that good for that, 28 years old renting a room (never have my own apartment). I can't go back to my country and I don't want, this shit is killing me I don't know what to do... But that different topic. Just wanna say I am proud of you and you doing great brother. I like to watch your videos. Cheers.
I feel u bro. U gotta find your own way cuz every situation is different. But bit by bit find what you tryna get outa the job besides money. For example u said u getting the red hat experience so this job is like a stepping stone and will provide you like a base for the next step. In 1-2 more months you could have 3 months of your experience in IT and step to the next level
My boss was like “I feel like you don’t even want to be here” and I’m just like “no shit.” I am grateful to have a job but I just wish I could make the same amount in less hours. I feel like days are the most fulfilling when you can do multiple things in one day. Today (Saturday) I went shopping and went out to eat and then I finished the book I was reading and then I watched anime and played games with friends. On weekdays I only have time to play games. If work isn’t busy I’m able to read, but not every job has down time like that. Working a 9-5 feels exactly like being in Covid lockdown except you have to wake up at 6-7am.
Time is more valuable than money. Working on someone else’s time will always make you feel some type of way. No matter how much you make or how easy it is. But we still need to work, it’s on our DNA. It’s about finding work that is self fulfilling
Bruh.. this upcoming week is my last week in corporate America and I couldn’t be more excited. I feel you 100% on erything you said, but you’ve already proven that you have what it takes to make a living for yourself and be your own boss. Don’t make a rash decision, but I would be plotting every single day on how to get back into your entrepreneurial bag. That 7-4 you working are your most productive hours of your life. Get outta the rat race as quickly as you can. You’re too talented to be slaving away at a useless ass job. 🙏🏾
Hec I’m telling you dawg, 5 months from now. You’ll rejuvenate money every month on UA-cam to the point where you don’t need your 9-5 anymore! Don’t worry dawg you’re almost there. Keep on posting.
bro real talk. if i didnt need a job, and i could walk into any store, or restaurant, and they would feed me. if i could have a decent place to live and not have to pay for it. i would be giving back to our planet every day. walking coastlines, picking up trash, bringing it to landfills to be disposed of properly. theres a long list of things i would do man
Keep doing ya thing brother. Proud of you. The only thing I can suggest is with the free time you do have obtain, the things you want & want to do in moderation. Also be of service to other people in a helping fashion. We only here for a short time. NYC 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
completely feel this, jst quit my job today after 5 weeks of training. Just felt like if im putting all this work into a company, I might as well do the same effort with mine and scale it. It just slowed down alot as a video editor. But i believe in my brand, it was depressing having to swithc from being your own boss to being bossed around.
My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Magnolia Angel, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
Yo bros you're dope I can get where u comin from and you definitely far from lazy b you doing more then most and I can respect all angles of your hustle. You the one youtube i kno that aint quit youtube all together and jus did the 9 to 5 like our majority. You have an insane balance on both and your words are well spoken and some a lotta folks could learn from. Idk how you gone maintain tha balance you on but i can recommend one of them stationary treadmills to get yoù atleast active throughout the day. You be fallin asleep cause blood flow be slow while you sitting 9 hours a day lmfao they trippin tho we can't be livin our lives on these computers.
JD: i’m 26, everything you said is 100% valid, i haven’t personally experienced a large amount of of internet money, however i do know it’s out there. i have 2 jobs being a waiter. whoever reads this, please believe when i say. find something you love, and stick to it. i am not a big youtuber yet, but i understand the importance of believing in dreams vs modern day slavery. edit: thinking this is what i have to do to survive right now, i know it will not last forever, def would not be serving tables if i didnt have to.
try more of a career job. I find when I'm learning skills and school that's gonna make me money I'm motivated and if I continue to learn on my job and am able to gain tech certifications while still working my job, I think I'd feel fulfilled and content
Yeah I think I just have too much things that I may be working on. I have class after work and also making content so on weekdays I truly work 7am-8,9PM. Appreciate the insight
Best way to fix this is start investing. Index funds are a good way. Pull up a compound interest calculator. Invest 500 a month to and index fund and see how much you'll have in 10 years, 20 years. It's a great motivator. Job diary
@@WorkSaveBitcoin Having been around Bitcoin since 2010, anyone thinking about getting into crypto needs to do a lot of serious research and critical thinking.
Man, you motivate me a lot bro. Having to work the 9-5 to pay the bills can be draining sometimes. I keep a Redbull on deck or a Prime energy drink right after work 😂😂 helps me to keep going
JD, watchin this after waking up in the middle of the night and having these exact feelings man. I got super lucky and landed a great career. It just doesn't feel right, I cant put a word on it. I think humans are here for other reasons than work and money. We just put up with it until we find that deeper reason.
I was like that when I was an AM at champs when I was 19-23 yrs old, but I got a new job 24-26 (27 now) I told myself “treat every day like Monday and every night like it’s Friday “ but I also have 2 kids so motivation has a little twist to it
Definitely about these JD man, I'm in the position where I don't even want apply for jobs because I can tell what's on the end of it from what I've seen. That's my current weakness and I'm trying to shift my mindset and at least find something that interests me, endure it for a while, save up, then risk it with my own business. I'd love to try and make videos like these but living with my family makes it hard to speak up confidently knowing they'd hear all of it

This is exactly why I think 3-4 workdays instead of 5 should be the norm, that sense of balance would be life changing to your mental health
I have been thinking about this SAME thing.... our jobs suck the life out of us so that someone else can live comfortably and its started to bother me that I make just enough to Pay bills and have a little fun and the person/people that I am working for have 100s of thousands of dollars in the bank and living very comfortably.
@@simonw3722 Back when I only worked 40/168 hours in the week, I was a mess, I felt anxious and depressed that I wasn't "enough". Now with my own business I do 80 hours a week and I don't even have time to think about mental health, and im financially free for life. You have to find a way to be self employed. If you cant scale it, its a waste of time.
@@simonw3722 I deliver packages for Amazon. I don’t enjoy it… but I only work 4 days a week. 10hr shifts. I deliver XL packages so my body is usually sore.
I wonder how do you see it working, we already paying rent lol
still got to do those 40 hours no matter what way you slice it
I knew this system was rigged since 8 years old. I might crashout tommorow if my coworker says something slick

You are not ungrateful bro. You are aware and honest.
I also work an IT work from home job and I'll say this. I don't wanna encourage any bad habits but as you continue to work you'll learn how to game the system. And what you can and cannot get away with. Does your job require you to stay glued to the screen while you're on the clock? I'm not tryna encourage any bad habits here, but the better you get at the job the easier it is to learn how much time your tasks actually take vs how much time the company wants you to spend on it, and can use the rest as "me" time. For example, my job requires prolly like 4-5 hrs of actual work and I consider the rest of the time as mine to do whatever I want. It helps with making you feel like you have better work life balance and you have more control over your time. Don't do nun egregious like them ppl who be at the grocery store in the middle of the day while they supposed to be on the clock, but you do have the luxury of working from home in the way that what the boss doesn't know what hurt em. As long as you still get your work done! As far as the soul crushing feeling of working a job that you don't like, that never really fully goes away, at least not in my experience, but there are things you can do to make it manageable.
@@kaylarichard555 yiyre very right unless he is working otp, most peoples jobs can be done in 3 hours all the rest is filler

@ web dev
I’m do the same brotha 😂
working a 9-5 is undoable for me anymore, all these managers and bosses are micromanaging narcissists.
@philsbootleg Yup, the more mature and calm you are too the more they push. I've quit 10 jobs in the last 6 years. Don't regret a single one Saved my mental everytime. Gonna keep trying until I find a spot with some normal people lmao.
@@philsbootleg ain’t this the sad truth. I understand why either. 😔
this fr it's the worst thing about the job
It's really just my fault, took me 10 jobs to realize every and all corporate jobs paying between 15 - 18$ an hour really don't give af who they make manager as long as they show up and want the position. Lesson learned, It's not me, these people are crazy narcissists with no skills in any part of life, that's why they're stuck at these places forever. Don't doubt yourself guys. If your job is truly ruining your heart and good soul, leave. Take a breather for a couple weeks get back to it. Especially if your young like I.
@@clausi_aidenif it makes you feel better I’m in the field of process engineering and have the same exact problem. The only difference is you get a little bit more tolerance for bs cause of the salary but even still once you’re used to it you’re always wanting more so it make you wonder why you’re there after a certain point
You feel this way because you’ve realized there’s more to life. You grow up and are taught, shown, and influenced about what life is, should be, and could be. Happens for people at different ages. Straight out of school and some don’t realize til their 40’s or 50’s. Some never do.
Bro I feel it. My co worker always asks me “why do you always clock in and clock out on the dot” he said “if you don’t love your job then why do you do it”. And I’m like MF I do it because I got family to take care of and I don’t spend any extra time at work because I need that extra time to work on my craft so I don’t have to be here forever. I’m still grateful for my job but I’m not gonna sit around and pretend like I enjoy it to please a boss or a higher up. I hate it, but I love my family so I do it.
facts bro
Ain’t no way that man asked a low IQ question like that. I wouldn’t have even responded to such nonsense

@@kmodahighestwe all in a situation where we can’t drop our batons , even in everyone’s situation others got it worse so we gotta make it happen until we know it happened kmo
💯 Never stop taking the time to work on your craft bruh, most end up giving up on that and become another cog in the machine.
Dude you have inspired me to really stop procrastinating and start making content!
Thats exactly what its about!
00:44 - 98% of people work for money but only a FEW will admit this. People, especially in white collar corporate work like to put up this facade and fake enthusiasm for the job, then look at you side ways when you keep it real. I think your feeling of WTF is heightened by the fact you actually made money outside of traditional work doing something on your own terms. This also happens to athletes, musicians or entertainers who have to go back to the work force for whatever reason. When you have done something you actually enjoy, that is genuinely fun and then you go to a 'regular' work force it can be super underwhelming. On top of that you have to deal with internal jealous haters because of your successful past. Inevitably you will be left with this 'is this it?' sensation. I would suggest not sharing your feelings with co-workers because they will try to set you up and take what you say out of context. They will change a statement like "I only work for money" to "so and so said he does not want to be here" 👀. All in an effort to impress the boss when you are not around. Stay safe bro, it is a real cold world out here...
This is a great analysis of the situation appreciate the perspective
10:52 “I look at the screen and I’ll look at the time and I’m like damn only an hour went by that’s tuff” it be like that tho 🤣
I'll be honest man, I felt that way when I was younger. I gave up a 9-5 to sell drugs and party with my friends. I made alot of memories I wouldn't trade for the world.
The flip side of that is, it's easy to make wrong decisions, MASSIVE wrong decisions when you're chasing fast money. I ended up getting addicted to hard drugs for years. As bad as you think it could get, it was that. Homeless, like for real homeless, getting Infections from shooting up, jail and rehab, all that.
Now as a 34 year old man, with 7 years (as of December 4th 2024) clean, with a good, stable job, I look forward to it. I don't get out much anymore, so my coworkers are one of my few face to face genuine social interactions these days.
I understand the soul sucking monotony of it all, and I get that, but im tired now. I just wanna go to work, come home and chill and play games, and see my family and cpl of friends.
I'm not here to tell anyone how to live or feel, that's just how I live and feel, kind of simplified.
Love your videos homie 👍 👌
thanks for telling ur story bro
❤❤ this new generation is so use to encouraging each other to complain about things that are actually helping them and changing their lives. 😂 the amount of tik toks Gen z post complaining about having a job, but most of them would end up having to move back home is crazy. Most of them just want to sleep all day. I just think it’s really the massive influence they all are having on each other that’s making it worst. Also social media is distorting peoples prospective about money.
Same here. Semi retired for just 3 years and now I’m running back to work, about a month fresh. You don’t know what you don’t know and things aren’t always how they appear. I have a different outlook on work now. It still sucks but work can never be avoided. It’s truly about finding something you enjoy doing, literally. If you don’t have that you have to grind until you find it.
@@TriggaTreDay exactly im 22 this is sorry asl.. i worked sales at 21 for a year driving an hour an 15 min to and from work to go door to door tryna sell roofs, some weeks made 0$. The entitlement of some people is hilarious. Routine brings me peace after working for commision only having so much uncertianty.
I believe its okay to want more, but you need a stable job to stack up bread and set aside for side hustles. people wanna go out and party and shi like thats "living life" and a "work life balance".
shit is a waste of time literally have jesus, workout make money set and acomplish goals that is the only balence you need. discipline is balance, freedom is peace. entitlement is where this all comes from.
@ facts 💯! keep up the great work with everything you are doing. You will be blessed.
I feel you man, every job I've had feels like a means to an end. It can be soul draining to dedicate so much time to a role you dont care for. You're blessed with a job. Maybe set a timeframe for how long you stay without quitting. Once that time comes, consider if you like the job or move on.
Quit my job over 2 years ago, and damn those Sundays used to have me in shambles knowing I had to be at work extra early Monday. I was in sales, and on Monday we went over last weeks performance and who ever didn’t perform got absolutely obliterated, humiliated and threatened. I still suffer extreme PTSD over this.
Glad you quit bro
Sales is for people with thick skin. You just wasn’t cut out for it.
@@TriggaTreDay I was there for 11 years with multiple locations and highest capped out salary and a team of 22 employees. There was literally no point in staying there since both my businesses were doing well.
@@nainfuego well it seems like you didn’t need that job at all. This conversation was centered around people who need their jobs but hate them 😂. Your explanation comes off completely different from your original statement. It could totally send a much different message to a novice that’s all. But congratulations on your success bro.
@@TriggaTreDay I was chiming into the fact that jobs can demoralize you, I never wanted to start my own business but I HATED the amount of time that I was at my job (which he covers in the video). I now work pretty much 24/7 but it’s building something I can hopefully pass onto my kids if I ever have any. Also Thank you!
I’m in the EXACT same position as you. I make about $75k from my full time and $35k part time and make maybe about $12,000 from music royalties, UA-cam, twitch etc. (scaling up on the UA-cam).
The weekends feel like sunshine and rainbows but as soon as Monday hits it’s like 💀. Recently I told myself I want to get so good at my job where I don’t even have to think about it that way it isn’t as mentally draining. The goal is to just funnel all my income into scaling my UA-cam and getting into real estate. I want to make $10k a month consistently and quit then pour more into what makes me feel alive which is creating music, videos, teaching, learning.
I know you’ll make it out. You have a legitimate skill which is UA-cam. UA-cam education is in high demand and you have the proof to charge people for consultation. You’ll be able to help people and constantly work on something you actually find interesting and passionate about. Best of luck bro. Let’s get out of the rat race. Everyone who read this 💯🙏

keep after your vision man. one thing to embrace in your situation is: being able to create from a place where you aren't stressed or "need" a video to blow up can be a blessing.
Get a stand-up desk and an under-the-desk treadmill. Movement helps.

I’m 22 and I’ve worked at Starbucks for almost 4 years. I’ve realized it from the day I started working that we are just hamsters running in a wheel for corporate America. Right now I want to start real estate school which I’m going to do today. I’m currently trying to become a store manager at Starbucks. Point is, it may really suck to put in the work at a slave job, but there is a ton of life skills, time management, people skills Etc. but you really can make the most out of these jobs and get the most experience. Make the most out of every moment. I wanna make Starbucks my bitch and become CEO. Probably won’t happen but that’s the attitude I have. Let’s beat this fucking system and be different than the 95% who just gives in to the world’s shenanigans.

JD Same man. I recently started UA-cam as an outlet hobby and it has made working the 9-5 easier cuz I have something to look forward to.
As a 10 year IT engineer that’s just starting a UA-cam channel, I can say your not alone and I feel everything you saying. I’m on the opposite side having that engineer job that’s stressful and soul crushing but just starting my UA-cam channel and learning that stuff. Your feeling is normal my man but good thing you know UA-cam already, I’m having to learn it with that after work tired feeling you spoke of. My guy you are not alone when you talk about working IT. I don’t do it because I enjoy it, I do it because I’m good at it and it pays really well. There are IT guys and then there are guys in IT. You and I are guys in IT, in it because we’re good at it and not by choice. IT guys are the ones that eat sleep and breathe IT. You’ll get through it and you’re not alone.
I used to work 4 Am to 1 Pm 5 days a week only getting 1 day off at a time because they would split my work days. Everyone looked at me crazy when I said I was losing my mind and quit. There were some people there for 35 years, 20 years, 10 years, I could never wrap my head around that. I get people have different struggles and mindsets but for other people its just not it.
I had this same feeling and a lot of it went away when i got a hybrid job. I'm "working" right now while my laundry is running and I'm (obviously) watching a youtube video. Some seasons are busy, but during slow times I enjoy being able to take 5 minutes to go chat with my roommate or take out the trash. I enjoy work actually ending at 5:00:00pm and not an hour later when I finally make it home and decompress. I still get Sunday Scaries to a degree but it's NOT a deep feeling of dread like before. Just a sort of "aww man, I can't do whatever I want. Well, work will be fine."
I know not everyone can do this but if you ever find yourself applying again, focus on remote and hybrid! It also helps tremendously to have coworkers you enjoy, work you can comfortably tolerate, and fun plans for after work so that M-F isn't just waiting for the weekend to come so you can actually enjoy yourself

I know exactly what you are going through brotha. I am a father and husband in the military. The days I feel it’s over whelming I put my head down in silence and do what must be done and keep looking for ways to fight and leverage my family into a better financial situation. Keep working, it’s frustrating I know. You are AMAZING keep going. Keep fighting. GRIT.
Great video man, this video opened my eye on multiple things and how I should stop spending money on insignificant things, and spend it on stuff Ill enjoy in the long term
I can tell you just moved into that apartment. The blank wall empty room says it all. Same here I just got approved for my apartment in October. I know how it is dawg keep grinding we finna get there! Never give up man I appreciate your videos you be saying some interesting stuff and you keep it real I like dat! Keep up the good work! I’m glad I subscribed!
I feel you on every level man, been feeling like this, still is. And like you said it ain't laziness I think it's something way deeper. But I'm so glad I'm not the only one experiencing this
Completely Understand! You are not alone!
Wow! AMAZING! You’re living my past years when I worked remotely for Apple Support and man did I feel drained feeling with Customer Service, rude customers, and 9 HOURS out of my day for 5 days a week! Would be so tired after my shift to even sit on my computer to do my OWN CONTENT! We hella living the same life!
JD, this is how I felt when I got a job out of college. I was able to take a break and I think I found something worth working for. We'll see how that holds up when I can find a job again because that shit can be soul crushing. Thanks for making and sharing this very human video.
The most annoying part is when you WFH and people downplay the amount of energy you exert. Yeah I’m at home but I’m not able to relax how I want to. I’m literally glued to this computer focusing on stuff I couldn’t care less about.
Takes more will to work remote. Have to be a self starter. Lack of social interaction. And you have to go above and beyond to get recognition.
@ deadass. I wouldn’t trade the convenience of my job for anything, but that lack of social interaction hits different. Let my girl be mad at me that week and boom there goes my one source of socialization. Try to go out and do my hobbies after work and just get caught up in traffic with everyone else who just got off lol
Oh yeah it is absolutely exhausting. People assume being at home and working is easy peasy. It’s convenient, but still work 🥲
yea but coming from someone that works outdoors in construction is even worse, i will take sitting on my ass and getting paid rather than coming back home sweating and dying of exhaustion
@@teeswagaI work hybrid and when I work from home it’s much harder to self start. You lose track of you don’t have high focus.
Everyone feels the soul crushing. From the bottom of the pyramid, to all the way to the top.
You're not alone on this one.
I started a channel when i graduated college and I just hit 76k after taking it seriously and grinding so hard to make it a full time but it is so inconsistent and not sustainable for me right now and im dreading getting a job but i know i need to for life i want. I definitely feel you bro. I want my own spot and i don’t see myself affording that without having sustainable income. It’s actually depressing to think about. I had a sales job where I could see how much I was selling and I didn’t feel like I was being compensated for my skills and how much I was making the company but somehow older people just think it’s normal to be undervalued as long as bills are being paid and I hate that
bro im in the same exact situation as you (without the youtube, just a different job offer) and you make me feel not alone. i appreciate your uploads brodie
Man bro, just for some perspective - I make a to-do list of things I want to accomplish for the day and I consistently write "Lord Hec Squad" at the top of the list because your life are MY goals. Like you said, "people would kill to be in my position" I am people. Just remember that your problems are very often someone else's dreams. I always remember hearing this quote that said "if everyone threw their shit in a pile, you would grab yours back, SO FAST" anyways love your channel man hope you're doing good.
hey man, i discovered your channel not so long ago from your video talking about how much you make from IT & course careers. You inspired me to look into it & consider it as an option for myself but I know deep down with just a little more patience there are better opportunities out there. I've never really had a 'career' & have just been hoping job to job just to survive & i hear what you are saying man. It's the routine of our jobs that slowly start to suck the life out of us & become our identities. Everyone loves talking about having a 'work life' balance but the reality is most people just live in dread when they get off work & stress mentally on how to survive tomorrow.
I guess i am posting this because i've been watching almost every upload of yours since than & i know there will be more opportunities for you outside of IT. just view this time as a step towards your journey & remember that you are not stuck unless if you tell yourself that you are.
I do 9 to 5 pm everyday , I’m a dad and I also operate a UA-cam channel and twitch . I stream sometimes till 12 or 1am wake up at drop my kid to daycare then Go to work for 8:30 am ! Let stay strong God is with us !
It’s crazy how you’re younger than me and we’re kind of in the same space at the same time an artist weighing thier options that creative spark feels trapped in that 9-5 setting especially when you know you can get paid an uncapped amount for your results but you still want to sustain a regular income!
You getting real real on this video. I feel you. Thats why im trying to build up a side hustle so i wont feel stuck to a 9-5 but my interest is around art and web design/dev. Im worried about it not picking up.
nah brother you are not rambling, you are connecting to everything I have thought myself. Keep speaking your mind, it helps me brother.
I get what you’re saying but you’re so blessed to have a remote job that people want, and you can still afford to do things after work. Yes the typical 9-5 and 8hr+ shifts should be changed but being able to only have to work one job. Instead of multiple to meet ends is truly great.
@@colin985 a remote job and doing UA-cam is two jobs if you weren’t listening. Ppl only want a “his” job because of the pay and it’s remote his whole argument is that jobs a time consuming and also deprives you of other things. Go watch the news.
Also he mentioned that after he finishes his 9-5 work he has to go to class to get more training and certifications for his remote IT job
@@kaydoez7054 I literally work full time job and full time college and still have time for hobbies as well as other things. It’s how you manage your time and there’s people who work 12hrs+ who are essential to each country surviving. Complaining is fine but trying to act like most things are needed is false there is a reason everyone can’t just become business owners, influencers etc people have to work to support those individuals
Bruh, I feel the same way. I work 7-5 I made 70k this year. And this is what I asked for new car, new house and Monday comes I just wanna die haha. But this is where we are now.
The way I think of work is that it’s a necessary sacrifice to fund whatever you really want to do
I felt the same way, great job on paper but every day was existential dread i just quit, you can always find a new path
youre a goat my brotha ur vids make me keep going everytime i see them
I believe part of what you're feeling is due to you experiencing work-life balance the opposite way of most people. Most go straight to the 9-5 right away, and then follow their passion and find freedom years down the line. You fortunately lived out your passion/hobby first, became financially free with content creation first and then "went backwards" (in a sense) with a 9-5 after getting a taste of the sweet and flexible life
At least this way, if you do decide to leave the 9-5 at some point in the future, you already know how to get your footing as a full-time entrepreneur
I highly recommend learning how to trade forex or futures as another source of income
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us! I love your honesty on everything since the content about the monetization on your channels from this new journey working a 9-5 job. That's the type of content that people are usually too afraid to share, but we can all learn from your experience. I would say do whatever feels right for you, in your heart and doesn't matter the rest.
I finally got a leadership position but I’ve put in work after graduating dealing with micromanaging and just tedious customer support work. It all pays off in the end get your experience up and then go for what you really want or at least step out comfort zone.
Keep the job a lot of people are suffering right now. Save for an emergency as much as you can. This will only benefit you. Yes it sucks but not all days are bad and there will be good days ahead.
As far as working from home, for the sake of your sanity, it helps having your desk by the window so you can look out instead of at the screen, and doing whatever you can to go out and do more for yourself with the little time you do have- that’s all I got. May the odds be ever in your favor
Also at 19:35 when you say your seeing your friends and dancers that all distractions. Keep your head on straight write down your goals and where you want to be and execute Delayed Gratification is very real and its coming to you soon!
Hey man i just wanted to say that I have been so motivated by your from your last few videos and that the best way is to just let people know they gotta give you a heads up on times and dates. I don't know how things happen behind the scene was never a part of content creation but really working my own 9-5 and doing full timer school its all deff possible i mean yeah just wanted to say i respect your for keeping with it brother :) " It all starts with what you do after work " make your plays within that timeframe use that time and you would deff get far with whatever your pursuing
Thats the way of the land. The key is staying creative and keeping your drive alive. You’ll find ways to keep your spirit strong. Keep hustling.
Hey luv!!! You have every right to feel as you do. You will get to where you would like to be, just maintain the job as long as possible. Stay positive!!! Job diary
I loved how you said your mother calls, and it is very relatable what you are feeling. Before you looked at the camera and said you feel like you are sometimes looking at the computer like...I laughed and thought that sounds like when something bores me. The first thing I considered is you sitting still for all those hours because you have an energy about you. Hey you are a very wise young man, I remember reading or hearing this saying life is 80 percent of doing what we have to do and 20 percent of doing what we want to do...and that like you mention even applies to side gigs and content creation cause it's all work the difference is doing what one loves verses what one must. You are so young, skilled, personable and reasonable so whatever you choose I'm sure you will be blessed! No you are not ungrateful, just keeping it real. It could help someone else going through the same know they are not alone. Sharing is caring! 💯💯
What you are feeling bro is what we call "the rat race" or "hamster wheel". What you got to do is stack your bread up and learn how to multiply it aggressively then passively. But yea I'm actually glad we have to go to work to survive because think about it most mobs/riots /protest rally happen because people don't got a job to go to, not all but most of them. People would be doing some scetchy things if they were given free time all the time. Stack your bread and build new skills everyday until you are doing something you love or can tolerate, also invest in stuff like dividends for the future.
Appreciate the advice and perspective fam
😂 that’s exactly what I was thinking. Unfortunately the human mind can’t be idol because we tend to gravitate towards trouble, it’s just our animal instinct. Jobs have single handedly saved humanity from devouring itself. History tells it all. Unfortunately we are heading towards dark times, social media is speeding up that clock. But I hope and pray we all can get it together before then.
I feel your pain bro, always said the same thing, it kills my soul. I’m 4 years in, plotting my next move soon. Save your money, get your credit good etc. do what you gotta do to better your standing financially. You’ll figure out the next thing before you know it, corporate is temporary for me, I feel like it is for you too lol. It won’t be forever 💪🏽
The Stare be deadly thats when you know u tired of that workin Shi 😭😭🤣
The land is self-sustaining. I wish I didn’t need money but I have a son on the way. I want to surf, farm, and take tourist around the island with my fiancé.
JD 🙏🏾🙏🏾 you got this
It gets easier as you get older. Like you said, we need the money to sustain but also to fund our hobbies or things we actually enjoy on our off time.
I wouldn’t work a second where I work currently if I didn’t need to or didn’t have a family. Energy and time wasted. But it could be worse and we mustn’t be ungrateful, as hard as is it enables us to live in this insane world
"if there was no need for money i wouldnt be working this job"
brother thats like 99% of humanity of all our history on this planent.😂 Not starving is a big motivator though.
I feel the same bro, I am immigrant working at warehouse, can't take a course of higher qualification cuz it's expensive for me and my English is not that good for that, 28 years old renting a room (never have my own apartment). I can't go back to my country and I don't want, this shit is killing me I don't know what to do... But that different topic. Just wanna say I am proud of you and you doing great brother. I like to watch your videos. Cheers.
I feel u bro. U gotta find your own way cuz every situation is different. But bit by bit find what you tryna get outa the job besides money. For example u said u getting the red hat experience so this job is like a stepping stone and will provide you like a base for the next step. In 1-2 more months you could have 3 months of your experience in IT and step to the next level
My boss was like “I feel like you don’t even want to be here” and I’m just like “no shit.” I am grateful to have a job but I just wish I could make the same amount in less hours. I feel like days are the most fulfilling when you can do multiple things in one day. Today (Saturday) I went shopping and went out to eat and then I finished the book I was reading and then I watched anime and played games with friends. On weekdays I only have time to play games. If work isn’t busy I’m able to read, but not every job has down time like that. Working a 9-5 feels exactly like being in Covid lockdown except you have to wake up at 6-7am.
JD, keep it man you got this 👍 💪 💯
Bro you know its better out there and you've made money like that and had fun doing it i want to get into cyber security and content creation as well
Time is more valuable than money. Working on someone else’s time will always make you feel some type of way. No matter how much you make or how easy it is. But we still need to work, it’s on our DNA. It’s about finding work that is self fulfilling
Bruh.. this upcoming week is my last week in corporate America and I couldn’t be more excited.
I feel you 100% on erything you said, but you’ve already proven that you have what it takes to make a living for yourself and be your own boss.
Don’t make a rash decision, but I would be plotting every single day on how to get back into your entrepreneurial bag. That 7-4 you working are your most productive hours of your life. Get outta the rat race as quickly as you can. You’re too talented to be slaving away at a useless ass job. 🙏🏾
Dawg I rock with your honesty and transparency 🔥
I love your energy brodie. Thanks for being real, even if I don't agree I always respect how real you be
this life shit crazy, we workin against our will but we gotta do it
Hec I’m telling you dawg, 5 months from now. You’ll rejuvenate money every month on UA-cam to the point where you don’t need your 9-5 anymore! Don’t worry dawg you’re almost there. Keep on posting.
I didn’t know how I needed this video I felt every word! I guess the “algorithm was algorithming “😅
bro real talk. if i didnt need a job, and i could walk into any store, or restaurant, and they would feed me. if i could have a decent place to live and not have to pay for it. i would be giving back to our planet every day. walking coastlines, picking up trash, bringing it to landfills to be disposed of properly. theres a long list of things i would do man
JD 👍 Keep up the good work! It’s a good idea to juggle a 9-5 job with a side hustle of UA-cam. You got this!
You’ve been an inspiration since coming across your videos bro.
Keep doing ya thing brother. Proud of you. The only thing I can suggest is with the free time you do have obtain, the things you want & want to do in moderation. Also be of service to other people in a helping fashion. We only here for a short time.
NYC 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I like your honesty. You're very admirable. You got a sub
Keep grinding you’re on the right track🙏🏾
completely feel this, jst quit my job today after 5 weeks of training. Just felt like if im putting all this work into a company, I might as well do the same effort with mine and scale it. It just slowed down alot as a video editor. But i believe in my brand, it was depressing having to swithc from being your own boss to being bossed around.
My advice to everyone is this : if you want to grow big this year especially in your finances. Be willing to make investments. Saving is great but investing puts you on a pedestal where you wouldnt have to worry about savings as you do now. With Magnolia Angel, my portolio is doing really great and im proud of the decisions i made last year.
Magnolia has normalized winning trades for me and it's a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.
I’m new at this, how can I reach her?
She is all about simple technique that are highly profitable, I really admire her winning mentality.
Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing Magnolia Angel being mentioned here also. Didn't know she has been good to so many people too, this is wonderful.
gram with her username
“Jo Jo” 😭😭 That sounded real Haitian 🇭🇹
Yo bros you're dope I can get where u comin from and you definitely far from lazy b you doing more then most and I can respect all angles of your hustle. You the one youtube i kno that aint quit youtube all together and jus did the 9 to 5 like our majority. You have an insane balance on both and your words are well spoken and some a lotta folks could learn from. Idk how you gone maintain tha balance you on but i can recommend one of them stationary treadmills to get yoù atleast active throughout the day. You be fallin asleep cause blood flow be slow while you sitting 9 hours a day lmfao they trippin tho we can't be livin our lives on these computers.
Just keep pushin that’s all u can do. If you’re in the right job/field you will grow
and the more experienced roles have more time flexibility
If you put your mind to it, none of your effort will go to waste. What you’re doing already, is doing something.
JD: i’m 26, everything you said is 100% valid, i haven’t personally experienced a large amount of of internet money, however i do know it’s out there. i have 2 jobs being a waiter. whoever reads this, please believe when i say. find something you love, and stick to it. i am not a big youtuber yet, but i understand the importance of believing in dreams vs modern day slavery.
edit: thinking this is what i have to do to survive right now, i know it will not last forever, def would not be serving tables if i didnt have to.
try more of a career job. I find when I'm learning skills and school that's gonna make me money I'm motivated and if I continue to learn on my job and am able to gain tech certifications while still working my job, I think I'd feel fulfilled and content
Gotta have something you're looking forward to after work. This is the only way I've been able to put myself into something more than my job
Yeah I think I just have too much things that I may be working on. I have class after work and also making content so on weekdays I truly work 7am-8,9PM. Appreciate the insight
@ it may just be that season in life for you man. Regardless keep up the work!
Best way to fix this is start investing. Index funds are a good way. Pull up a compound interest calculator. Invest 500 a month to and index fund and see how much you'll have in 10 years, 20 years. It's a great motivator.

@@WorkSaveBitcoin Having been around Bitcoin since 2010, anyone thinking about getting into crypto needs to do a lot of serious research and critical thinking.
Aye bro don’t give up on the fact that everything can work out🙏🏼 shit throw in some courses and u might be good
There is no curing the feeling. This is quite simply how everyone lives and we all need to escape this hell of a reality.
Man, you motivate me a lot bro. Having to work the 9-5 to pay the bills can be draining sometimes. I keep a Redbull on deck or a Prime energy drink right after work 😂😂 helps me to keep going
JD, watchin this after waking up in the middle of the night and having these exact feelings man. I got super lucky and landed a great career. It just doesn't feel right, I cant put a word on it. I think humans are here for other reasons than work and money. We just put up with it until we find that deeper reason.
I was like that when I was an AM at champs when I was 19-23 yrs old, but I got a new job 24-26 (27 now) I told myself “treat every day like Monday and every night like it’s Friday “ but I also have 2 kids so motivation has a little twist to it
The feeling never goes away don’t mitigate it like the rest. Embrace it, I could never go back.
Definitely about these JD man, I'm in the position where I don't even want apply for jobs because I can tell what's on the end of it from what I've seen. That's my current weakness and I'm trying to shift my mindset and at least find something that interests me, endure it for a while, save up, then risk it with my own business. I'd love to try and make videos like these but living with my family makes it hard to speak up confidently knowing they'd hear all of it
