In situations like this how long you will go with this kind of 9-5? For me I’m looking for new 9-5 jobs that allow me to stacking more sats
For sure! Gotta hustle for that paper, but I feel you on the corporate grind. Ain't nobody got time for that slave life! That's why I'm all about stacking this aggressive too! 💪💰 #StayFree #HustleHard

I left my job to pursue Bitcoin endeavors. The opportunity cost of *staying* at my job was becoming far too great. I'm not able to stack as hard right now, but the whole reason I stacked in the first place was to do precisely this. Over the long haul, I believe I will be able to stack more, and do so in a way that is more fulfilling. We all talk about the ethereal goals of 6.25 BTC, or 3.125 BTC, or whole coin status or wherever the goal posts are now, but no amount is worth more than the freedom of your time. My mom worked a job she didn't like my entire life, lived very reasonably, stacked assets real hard the whole time, and then got cancer. Within two years she was gone and never got to do the things she put off. I refuse to let that happen to me. We bitcoin precisely so that we can dictate money for our time, not dictate our time for money. Just remember that. You only get one life.
if you are single, and do not any crazy hobbies or have desires to pursue, then I also would keep working. i understand you, because I was also kind of ‚pulled‘ into taking Fridays off family reasons. its been great so far, and I plan to never (hopefully) increasing the time I spend at my fiat job as well

I’m in the same boat. One solution I’m toying with… Create a bitcoin wallet and call it “Dream Funds.” This is not for money to pass down to your children. This is bitcoin exclusively to help you escape the rat race. It can fund a future business or be used to learn new skills. Whatever you want. Personally, I am extremely conservative with my money and always feel bad for spending it. For some reason, psychologically, if I separate funds in a different wallet for a pre-determined purpose, I don’t feel spender’s guilt.

Then you must choose to be happy there because the job is providing that which you currently value most. I learned this the hard way, too many years moping at my job. Once I figured out I’m choosing to be here, so I might as well start acting happy, my job satisfaction improved greatly. I’m genuinely happy now, hope you can turn the corner as well.

I just posted this before I saw your comment. When you think philosophically about the time you have left on earth you will inevitably conclude that it is the most precious and valuable asset you could ever have. Almost no one would trade their lives with Warren buffet even though he has access to more money than the human brain can comprehend. We can however comprehend that he has way less time than almost all of us. The human brain understands that our time is finite. When you relize that you exchange your time to receive a unit of value that rapidly dwindles into the future because the unit is infinite, you should begin to get curious. Governments and central banks aggressively manipulate the unit of value your past efforts were exchanged for without giving you any of the previous time back. It is the ultimate bait and switch technology. Yet somehow because the number on the unit of value didn’t change we can’t quite understand how we were intrusively violated. We know that its power has been drained but we are somehow accepting of it because on the surface the number remains the same. When you realize that you can’t outrun something infinite with a finite resource you are forced to play a new game anchored in reality.

Damn, that touched my heart. My mom passed away the same way. I miss her a lot, and I didn't get to spend much time with her during my childhood or adolescence because she worked so hard.

Literally the only reason I’m not moving to the bush and living a subsistence lifestyle.
