    “Trading time for money” …feeling that constantly.

    • @mr.q337
      @mr.q337 5 років тому +20

      As of right now, I don't mind it. I have more time than money. However, you suppose to be flexible with life. Until, I grow tired of it, and at the point where I find my time more valuable than money then I will change. You don't have to keep the same job forever. I actually recommend to try different things. Life would be too boring is you stationary

      @@mr.q337 I agree with that mindset, wholeheartedly. To remain in one place for too long, knowing that there is more to the horizon than what you know, is just not the life MOST people would want. That's why we choose to adapt to new surroundings because there is more out there than what we realize.

    This is why I subscribed to WongFu, thank you for constantly creating content. When I first subscribed it was for the romantic shorts and those resonated with me but as I've matured and began working, this short spoke to me on a deeper level, a greater purpose. I'm so grateful to have stumbled across content creators like you guys many many years ago.

So I made a deliberate switch to the teaching industry, something I am definitely passionate about and now finding alot of ideas & freedom in giving to the next generation. Sure I miss the xxxxx figure monthly basic pay but I‘ve compromised my health and happiness for the crazy hours I had put in and it’s definitely not worth it.

I don't even know if I can find a job. And even if I do, I question if working in an office is what I want to for the rest of my life. It just seems there's no point to any of this. What happens when we have the car we want and the house we want? What then?

    Nice job Wesley - I wish the film had been just a little longer (and maybe we could have heard a phone call from her) but that's the secret of great storytelling - you always want it longer. This story reminds me so much of myself and my friends in my late 20's - I caught in limbo of not liking what I was doing but unsure (or a little scared) of going a different direction, and my best friend getting married, landing that job with the big payday - and I wondered if he would be happy. Years later, he was happy with his choice because structure meant security (although he changed firms after a few years) - and I'm still kind of in that journey. Btw, nice to see Julie Zahn back - keep bringing her back (and yes, Jason and Susan were also very good).

    Been listening to the ABG podcast and this female lead character sounds just like Helen who finds meaning in paving the way for girls in the commercial world. Thanks Wes for creating great content. I work in the art business and often feel judged by 'real artists' for being a 'sell-out' but I do truly enjoy my work and believe the money making side is crucial for supporting artists! On the other hand the 'real' business people like bankers think I'm some whimsical artsy person who isn't 'serious' enough, having too much fun at work. There's a lot of judgement out there and believing in yourself is the best way forward.

      30min walk. EZ. but they looked like they were meandering from st. Lawrence Market area, so probably took them 1h to get to Kensington, and another 45min to get back to Union. That takeout must have been stone cold. 😂
