She makes a lot of great points about why working is miserable.

I would say start by making cleaning/beauty products at home to save money & reduces expenses. I researched in my 20s how to make homemade toothpaste and shampoo and detergent for example and it took a few years to slowly build up on using cheaper homemade versions and I stopped buying chemically harsh items from stores. I understand she's a minimalist but people used to MAKE their own Christmas decorations decades ago (for example) so making holiday decorations instead of buying or get items on clearance after the holiday, there's cheap ways to start growing your own plants, make your own clothes. I get my tv app subscriptions on black friday every year! I've paid $2.99/mo for disney + hulu for the past 2 years. This year I got peacock for $20/YEAR & Paramount for $30/ YEAR so I don't have to pay those monthly. So basically if you want something, learn how to make it and some items its best to buy expensive quality that last decades compared to cheap, breakable stuff now. But it still takes awhile to build up on all of that. Moving in with friends/family that divide the bills....you'd have to go through each topic of spending and think how can you save money in that area. Like food, stop ordering out and make from scratch, buy mostly what's on sale. I was shocked to find out local farms are selling beef cheaper than the most expensive grocery store in my town! She did mention artist stuff to build passive income and using AI to write a book. There's other videos where people talk about different passive income ideas. Is there one subject you are more knowledgeable about and can share that with an audience, something your good at? Another way people get out of poverty is having 2-3 jobs and saving all the money from 1 of those jobs, they work like this for a few years to build up their savings and then go back down to one job but maybe they can invest in buying a cheap house or car or starting a business, to help they're particular situation.

[@relicwitch1313]

I'll give you some perspectives - Imagine you had less stuff. Minimal stuff. You could live in a room instead of a house. You wouldn't need as much rent money or money for utilities. You could focus on a different work endeavour. You could use ai to write a book / create a tarot deck / generate video scripts or product descriptions for an online store. Imagine you did batch cooking, meal planning and budget shopping. You could lose weight, save money, never waste food. You would get healthier, you would feel more positive and have more money, OR you wouldn't need to work as many hours. Imagine you live in a van for a year while working your job. You could save all your wages. Then you could do something with the savings, like investing, or setting up a small business, or buying a small boat to live on. Then, you combine all the above ways of thinking and living, and you create your ideal life. Imagine you did voluntary work overseas to help people/communities. It comes with food and board and you get to travel the world. Who might you meet? Where might you end up? She is saying that stuff, buying stuff, thinking you need stuff is where your money is going. She is saying that the 'normal' way of life is a smokescreen and you can think differently if you choose to. She is saying possessions are a money pit. She is saying there are other ways to live but you need to invent them for yourself!

A lot of the corporate world (and society generally) has become so work-excessive (with not enough people and absurdly unrealistic production and commitment demands), unreliable (NO concern for employees, just use, abuse,and lose), and ideologically extremely bizarre ("woke") that burnout is increasingly common. Happened to me. And you're right about burnout being an awakening. Burnout is not (just) exhaustion -- it's a form of self-defense and self-preservation. When one's personal constitution and self-preservation instincts can no longer be forced to align with they job, they will stop working -- exhaustion can be a big part of it, but doesn't have to be.

Sing that song, play that guitar, paint that picture, surf board, skate board, listen to your favorite band, go to your favorite place and just spend all day there. Just fucking be happy man! I implore you humanity. Be yourself. BE FREE! We’re not here to just pay bills and die. Freedom is a human right. Not a privilege.

[@Hollybalolly]

I can totally get behind eliminating the need for work, though I am skeptical that this hyper individualistic mindset is what is going to free us from work and exploitation. Humans are social creatures who are meant to depend on each other for survival. We have to build a society based on community and mutual cooperation, not just focus on making our own lives better. None of us are free until we're all free One thing I recently started doing with friends is having weekly food prep nights - we all go in on bulk ingredients and make huge batches of food to last us throughout the week. This has saved me a lot of time and money and it's a fun way to bond with others 💖 I'm also skeptical of AI being the answer, given that AI is highly energy intensive

[@makelifemedicine]

@@Hollybalolly I agree with aspects of what you're saying. Firstly, I don't think what I'm describing is hyper individualistic at the expense of community and connection. Also, if you're not familiar with human design You might find it super interesting to look into the global cycle, which will be switching from the cross of planning to the cross of the sleeping Phoenix in 2027. It speaks to what you are bringing up here. The food prep nights sound amazing with your friends! I think that's super cool and definitely think that people would benefit from more connection like this in their lives. Your concerns about AI is also very valid. I'm pretty confident that a solution will arise. As far as the GPU power required... I think we're just not there yet.

Thank you so much for creating this video! I’ve spent so much of my life working soul-crushing jobs that drained me. I went to school and earned a graduate degree, but in hindsight, it feels like a mistake-it never helped me land a job and only added to the pressure to follow what everyone else was doing. Now, I’m debt-free, living in a small apartment with my dog, and I’ve decided not to marry or have kids. I feel at peace for the first time at 49. Even with all the money in the world, I know I can’t get back the time I’ve lost. I have a very successful podcast that gives me purpose in life and interviewed hundreds of guests. I believe AI will reshape the job market-while it may replace many jobs, it also brings new opportunities for those who know how to leverage it. All I can do is focus on living fully in each moment.

Plus, watching a loved one pass away as a 49-year-old brings into focus its going to end. I've seen the whole decline over a period of months rather than just a last-minute goodbye. I can see it happening to me more clearly. I've always pursued my own creative journey but felt the immense weight of the life, identity, status, and wealth I could have made or been. That sense of feeling left behind and having nothing to show for 30 years of passion and never giving up. As time passes and my past identity becomes more fragmented and the people of my past move more away from their past selves, I can start to embrace the now baggage free.

I don't understand how she is saying all of this as she is sitting in an immaculately clean, new white kitchen with matching appliances. The message seems insincere. Many people construct their lives to have cars that are in pristine condition, a home with lovely and tasteful decor, clothes, makeup, jewelry, teeth, skin, hair, anti-aging supplements, procedures, nails, not to mention electronics. All of these things cost money. All of these things must be maintained. If you choose to maintain such a lifestyle, I am certain that you will always be working to pay for these things.

I can understand many of the sentiments but the simple fact is that there is an intrinsic value to work. Also, you mention your truck...your camper... beautiful mountains to be seen. It takes a lot of people doing a lot of hard work to get a truck or a camper off the production line, and many people have to have jobs and be working for you to be able to travel to those beautiful places. That doesn't mean that a few people here and there can't say screw it and live off of everyone else's work, but as a society work is necessary. And yes, we WERE put on this Earth to work. How do you think we fed ourselves before modern times? And last but not least, the very people worshipping AI and pushing for it to eliminate jobs are the same exact people who would not allow you to own something like a camper if they had their way.

36 years old. Sold my first home and bought a 2021 295bh springdale travel trailer. Have two kids and a wife. Rent is 465. Water free. Trash free. Electric is around 150ish in the winter. Live with less. Have more time to love. Its against the norm but id rather fly my own path. My dad named me after Jonathan Livingston Seagull hence my first and middle name. Crazy how my Dad's thought of me before birth would become my personality and my destiny. I too use Chat GPT. Crazy it gives better answers than people but people are flawed and have agendas. Its a better therapist than the one I was taking my son to. The wife sometimes has a hard time with the living situation because she likes to take baths and have that luxury but usually maybe every month we go travel somewhere and get a hotel room while exploring somewhere new around nature.

When people asked what I did when I still worked I said: we do the same thing. We sit behind a desk behind a screen, a mouse and a keyboard. We go to meetings and take and make calls. Yes but.... No really it's the same work.

4:09 If you're lucky enough to have money saved or provided for you then you can live like you suggest, most people HAVE to work to pay bills and eat.

[@elizabethbarefoot1111]

Yeah. If I stopped working the lights turn off and the kids starve. I would love to do what I love. I would love to just create a happy loving home for my 3 kids. But without money….there is no home. Where is the bridge?

When I was at one of my $25,000 a year social work jobs a few years out of college. I told my mom I was quitting it because I didn't like it and she told me that a job isn't to like, it's to make money. I quit that job, sold all my things, bought an old VW camper van and headed to California with my cats. Fuck that bs

[@makelifemedicine]

@@everydayvacaytaj 100%. Good in you for always remaining true to yourself. It's not always easy 💗

How did you acquire your residence? If not by working, then how?

[@lindasharp8523]

Oh ffs!!!

[@alexconstas9634]

Everything you said has hit me this past year. I’ve completely changed from working my accounting job literally all day to barely working part time. Don’t care about jobs and my resume at all. Literally spend my days outside, exercising, cooking, cleaning up the streets, and 4 hours of work. No way am I dying before learning all the skills I’m interested in. Fuck money

[@makelifemedicine]

@@alexconstas9634 That's quite the transition you have made. Good for you 💗

[@fj-revisited]

I have always preferred less pay to more if it meant enjoying my life. Thank you for confirming my life-long intuition about this.

What we should STUDY, is this strange, sad phenomena of physically healthy people, usually Men, dropping dead shortly after retirement.

[@arnoldrimmer9161]

Well said my friend. My dad retired and died after taking just 3 months of his state pension that he'd contributed to all his working life. Of course in the eyes of the government he was the perfect citizen, no doubt they were rubbing their greedy little hands together at how much they would be saving on his passing. It makes me sick.
