Imagine...
>work two full time jobs (one in manufacturing; one in retail)
>earn a combined annual income of $50k
>low cost of living
>good standard of living
>no family to provide
>receiving good benefits from the manufacturing job
>only get one day off
Would you want that life?
pretty gud money
would do for a while
then buy some land and a minihouse
Hell no. I get 3 days a week and I still consider that not enough weekend.
How many hours a week are you working?
In my cunt you would be working 80 hours a week for 2 full time jobs
If you live in the US you can get your taxes done for free at Volunteer Income Tax Assistance, funded by the union United Way!
Good luck
Yes. 40 hours per job, per week.
>earn a combined annual income of $50k
jesus
why
What the fug
I have horrible headaches after working 8 hours a day. I do not envy you living that kind of life, I would kill myself after a week.
why do you wish to be sisyphus, user?
don't you want to relax?
Manufacturing job - $15/hr = approx. $31,000/yr
Retail job - $7.30/hr + tips = approx. $18,000/yr
$50,000 can be considered a decent amount of income if you live in the suburbs, where the cost of living isn't too much.
This is only something I'm just considering and haven't actually done, yet; to maximize my earnings once I start the manufacturing job. I'm considering working my retail job part time just to reduce the likelihood of a severe burnout if I ever decide to work both jobs full time.
>$50,000 can be considered a decent amount of income
I don't want any life except for a life where I can sit in an apartment rent free playing vidya, watching anime, reading Lovecraft, and listening to music without having to work.
unless you intend on investing your excess earnings in to something, it would be worthless since you'll have so little time to do anything outside of work and sleep.
It might be a better idea to do just the manufacturing job and doing whatever you can to increase your income from one job. If you only have that job, you could work very hard and well and get a raise and you'd probably be given overtime if you're good and want it
I would do it for a year and then move to a third world country and live dirt cheap as a NEET
This. 8 hours per day is terrible enough
$50k a year isnt enough to retire
If i'm gonna so something that terrible i'd want to retire asap
ayy user I go in 2 days a week was wondering what you doing cause im bored at home all the 4 chan porn gets boring after time
>18-30 years old
>caring about retiring
Nigger I would kill myself if I worked more than 40 hours a week
It's already sapping my fucking life away
Not him but I want to do this shit for as short as possible. I fucking hate wagecucking.
it's funny that we've gone from an 8 hour workday being radical to working two full-time jobs and being to afford a decent standard of living being radical.
the day of the rope for neolibs is near.
It's what happens in melting pots
I am 26 and all i want to do is retire. Being NEET is the only life worth living. Period
being a wagie destroys all desire for a gf or even human interaction. Yet i chose the least terrible career
NEET is the path to a fulfilling, meaningful life when your hobbies and passions aren't lucrative
I've been employed for 5 years and have wished i was retired since the first week at my first job. It's horrible, the only reason I put up with it is the pay
One must imagine sisyphus happy user
And lemme guess, no gf or anything right? I'm in the same boat as you bro. Feel totally hopeless and like I'm just a serf for the government and system to exploit. If there was a way to get wageslave across the country to stop working until things are more just I'd go on strike with you all.
Yeah, except I'm fine being single.
Retail thread?
>Work security at [store] in asian part of town
>All these fucking qt customers jesus christ
>Quite a few of them smile at me too
>Smiles with teeth showing, so not that fake smile shit
When not catching faggots stealing, this is such a great fucking downtime. 8 hour shifts feel like nothing. If only I could get one's number or something.
that saying has always been nonsense. only the most demented of people enjoy constant work.
It is radical to us who aren't worthless fucks. If you don't learn a useful trade you deserve the low quality of life.
>Retail thread?
Wagie thread, but yeah. I'm working right now, so I'm finished discussing what I wanted to discuss.
>get good money
>nothing to spend it on
>Only have one day to do what you like
What's the fucking point then?
He gets to contribute to society user. That's worth more than money
I've worked 7 days a week between 10 and 16 hours a day for the last 8 months.
I dont mind it whatsoever because it's only temporary to build a good fund to finish my last two years of uni with no debt. Currently have around 35k saved and will probably have around 45k once I start again in the spring.
He can stop working eventually
That's right. I plan on working my retail job for a year before quitting... although, that's if I only work part time.
I work to contribute to my country's GDP
what kind of jobs only require you to go in 2 days a week? I need a job like that
the worst part is people agreed to this system
