When I explain why at 43 I don’t see the point of having children. It goes “ what’s the point, all they’re going to do is work , pay taxes and die” The planet provides everything humans need, but we’ve put a price on everything.
True men life is so dificult sometimes and having a child to the things more dificult,you dont have time for you and the money jave to go for the child and his things,i want one day maybe have a kid but only if i decide that i do everything i want in this life and enjoy great moments with peace and happiness,not living worry deprese and crazy all my life thats the life i dont want,im 26 and the best thing i do is not having a child im not prepare,my mother got me when we was 21,she dont know nothing about life and my father my just i peace of shiet that never do anything for me just bad things,i have a wonderful mother but i terrible father and that one reason maybe i dont want to be a father until im prepare,i dont want my kids suffer what i suffer when i was a kid with a single mother with no money,no help,no men that can help her but he did a great job
I'll be turning 41 soon and I'm BEYOND done with working 40+ hrs a week. I've always been a natural saver and all my "toys" are paid for. Now I'm at the point of going part-time, no more working weekends or manditory overtime. Helps being single with no kids also!!!

Lmao all I can think of is the South Park Amazon episode. The whole town is slaving away at Amazon all day and then going online at night to spend their checks on Amazon 🤣
I have tried to explain this to my friends, my family, and my therapist and I cannot find one person that understands me or agrees with me. I'm 22, I finished college 7months ago and the entire time I was in college I felt nothing but dread and grief over the fact that this is all that was waiting for me. I put off getting a job for 4 months after graduating, but then I had to. thank you for making this, it feels really good to hear from someone else who understands it, who feels it too.
Prioritize your life. What do you REALLY want to do? Decide in your heart and mind what it is and go do it. Don't worry what others think. Don't be afraid of failure. Failure is nothing but a stepping stone to greatness.
@@AsIronSharpensIron 100% AGREE with you . People need to start doing what makes them happy and stop carring what others think I personally found happiness through Minamalism and learning about Passive income like investing also being DEBT FREE like how Dave Ramsey teaches all three combined is a winning combo for living a stress free life . Im personally thinking about more remote work options and possibly working 6 months in USA and 6 months remote oversease since USD goes far over there. ESCAPE RAT RACE MY GOAL
Companies want good slaves who are married/have kids. After about 20 years working, I'll tell young people you should not have any loyalty to any organization, they will turn on you in a second when its convenient and fire/replace you. Also to ensure no slavery, young people dont get married and dont get a girl pregnant, make sure she takes the birth control pill daily in front of you and both wear protection. You will just condemn your new child to increasing poverty and freedomless slavery and these control/money/job trends worsen. Promote this idea in videos and social media to help prevent more young people into this new slavery.
I'm so sick of this rat race and programing. Schools, education, housing/rent, jobs, debt etc. All meant to control us and keep us busy and striving tired. I'm seriously now looking into going off the grid in the future. I'm so sick of it all
I am allergic to debt. I paid off all my debts by the age of 35. House, cars, credit cards, etc…. ALL paid off. I’m now 52 and earn a really good income that, thanks to my ‘no debt’ policy is completely mine. Now at the age of 52 I am extremely wealthy and work only because I chose to and enjoy it. Not because I have to. I would recommend this path in life to everyone!!!
Lol let's all talk about how better you are to stroke your ego who tf cares 😂 you and everyone is going to die anyway hold on to your pride bro 😊 cool story give yourself a pat on the back
@@zodglubby Yes. Been married to my high school sweetheart for almost 30 years. We have 2 terrific kids that are successful contributors to society. And I was happy to be able to provide their college education
i am debt free. Call me crazy but the last thing I want to do is buy a house and be in debt for the next 30 years. However, I also do not want to pay a shitload for rent. Very seriously considering moving to another country.
Woke up 2 years ago, people at work thought I was crazy to talk like this. We just working today just to come back tomorrow because everything we have is linked to an outstanding balance. We will never get out if we don’t stop owing banks and institutions money.
We go to college to learn how to become slaves or prisoners to our jobs..we get 2 days off a week and then have to report back to "jail" each week. Now that I'm retired (was able to retire early because l saved,) l look back at how much anxiety and stress l had and how that took a toll on me. I'm finally free and living my life as l want to in Spain. Another great video!
Money was invented to replace the barter system. Much easier to carry coins than bringing a cow into town to trade. Unfortunately what happened was people shifted from producing things to trade to thinking about how to get money. The funny thing is producing things of value will get you money. So what I'm getting at is learn to produce value to others.
It’s so sad we’re taught to accumulate debt. I’ve finally been able to put together a plan to truly escape. But it all started with me stopping the hole I was digging for myself. It’s impossible to get out if you don’t stop consuming. Great video and message per usual.
So true. Lived my life so far travelling and working and just living life man. Work family education is overrated. Just live to enjoy life. No saving no debt no retirement. Who cares
Powerful. Powerful message. Living free is the way to go! Been credit card debt free for some time now. Never going back! I don't want debt of any kind. Not even a mortgage. Living free is all that I care about. Starting my own business strictly off cash flow, no debt at all.
I don't play this debt game. I live below my means . I rent a basement for $500 dollars, everything included even wifi. My space is small but I have everything i need. My total expenses are around 1000 a month and I make 3000-3500. I safe 2000 every month and I never worry about my next pay check while my friends that have the same job are always waiting for the next check. sometimes they run out of money and ask me for food money and take me they are gonna pay me when they get pay. I just don't imagine myself working my whole life and I'm gonna do anything to be a free man. I will take a month vacation to mexico on march and I don't care if my job gives me permission because i own my life and i can always find another job. I'm 23 right now and I have no doubt that if i keep saving I will one day be free.
This is so accurate, the programming is sick. Now they have Affirm and Klarna so people can "Buy now, pay later". So predatory and keeps people chained with debt.
Since 2020, people have woken up to the fact that no one was ready for this except for the rich an powerful who had the fallout. Now people have realized that job security is nonexistent. It’s step to realizing that we need to provide for ourselves and not someone else above us
I’m glad my son shared this with me. You are on point and more of society should hear this message. It is fact! We our mental health is affected and suffering due to following this game!!!
Not onlyall that you sad but also on top of all that you are in a stress cycle the whole time, spending most of your time occupied working trying to get more and life time just passing you by, maybe the most what could have been the greatest years of your life stuck working and get to see the higher ups just living it up.
The key qualification 🗝️ in practicing this life saving principle is to stay single. ...it's absolutely impossible to be frugal in a relationship or even worse marriage. Thank you Mr.Ward for your life saving advice 💯
Debt absolutely sucks!!!! I know a lot of people feel a certain way about Dave Ramsey but I wish I had known about him and bought into his philosophy when I was a teen. I’ve tried my best to instill in my son not to take on debt so he can live and work for himself.
You’re 100% correct! My husband and I paid off our credit cards and have no debt. That’s a vicious cycle. Thank you and loved the way you articulated this message.
Also the whole idea of getting a mortgage is crazy as well. People pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in interest. We don’t really need a house if you think about it
I see the game and I have realized Less is more! Society makes us think we need all these "things" we don't need, alot of it is to show status. Then after acquiring all these things we feel overwhelmed because we didn't really need them and now it's time to get rid of some and do what next? Acquire more Society says! No thanks. Less stuff. More Soul. 🙏#beatthegame Thanks Tim!
One of the smartest things I ever did was cinch up my belt & paid off my school loans as soon as I got a job. I have a friend _still_ paying off his because he thinks living with debt is *normal.* In the '90's, banks & credit institutions lined up along the college green, handing out credit cards to students like they were candy. THAT's where this sh*t started... People _used_ to be able to buy their cars outright & houses & rent weren't insane. Until enough of us demand that the average cost of living be _lowered_ to meet the average paycheck, instead of constantly raising the minimum wage, we will continue to own less & less that lessens our control over our own lives. The economic noose is tightening around us & YES it's intentional.
I want to learn how to invest and save money, start early while I'm in early 20s. I'm also trying to see how I can start a small side business for myself so I can do what I enjoy. I want to live below my means and be debt free, that's my goal. Good video!
Saw the thumbnail and clicked on it so fast and I didn't even know it was you, Tim. You hit the nail right on the head. My BF and I talk about this all the time as we are trying to break free from this matrix as well. I cannot believe you only gave us 17 min. I'm gonna need a 3 hour live stream on this topic!!! Pretty please. LOL
Thought the same, short video for such a interesting topic that I too feel so passionate about. I paid off debt twice, and that debt was not due to careless spending on things as I too like to be minimal but on house repairs etc however feel great having paid them off. Still have a mortgage which I doubt I will pay off as its interest only but the way I look at this is that the home served it’s purpose and housed me and my kids, they are adults now. In a few years I may have to sell up and begin my next chapter please god. But all that Tim says is all true, it’s hard to convey this to children however but keep planting seeds.
cooperatives, worker owned companies, and profit sharing is the answer. Wish people knew more about it. Also abolishing corporations would be a good step forward.
Already sub'd follower here! Sir, you have absolutely NO IDEA how important you are to the average humanbeing, for that matter THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE! I appreciate the hell outta you as a "barely getting by broke 57yr "young" grandma" here in DeLand Florida🙄😏.... originally born and raised in San Diego Ca🥰, ....I've worked hard all my life and other than my 2 beautiful young adult kids and a beautiful granddaughter, I HAVE NOTHING "NOTHING" to show for it.😵💫😩 Just thank you so much for coming into my TH-cam feed, btw I'm so very happy you got sober my guy. You are truly living life now, BE FREE!💪🏻👍🏻✌🏻❤️🤗
Modern day slavery... But you can get out of it You think more "things" make you happy, that's how they program you but over time I realized that wasn't it at all for me. Freedom to do what I want with my time is the most valuable, fulfilling thing to me. You can either do that by being rich or you can do that by living "poor"... giving up all the fancy stuff and living with less, which maybe isn't really poor at all...
Tuco said it best in the Sergio Leone classic The Good The Bad and the Ugly "if you work for a living why do you kill yourself working?" Tyler Durden in Fight Club was spot on too by saying "working in jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need." I like these two and love you too Tim! :)
You're so right! I've been thinking the same things over and over as well, only you added the extra depth to it and added humor to it! Better to laugh as to cry yeah. You're awesome! May the heavenly Father guide and protect you!
I am late to the party. But I am catching up. But yes, I was taught in school to go to college, my father recommended trade schools. I was taught keep your nose clean, be a good boy, tuck your shirt in, shine your shoes, cut your hair, get a job with benefits and a pension lol! Oh my....how I would have done things different. As a 50-year-old man....if I would have only known 30 years ago what I know now. And this world continues to go to crap.
As a retired Boomer I did what I had to do, and now I am comfortable and live as I want, but I can’t help wondering what would have happened if I had taken a year or two off to travel the world when I was young. Instead I bought into the crystal and china and setting a beautiful table. Ba humbug, that was a mistake.
True, one needs to make money, but you don't need a "Good job". One needs enough to cover "needs", the rest is gravy. What you're talking about relates to the clothing industry. The people actually doing the work of assembling/sewing together the shirts, pants, etc... get paid a few dollars a day, for 12, or 14 hour days, while celebrities, athletes, and/or models, get paid millions, to advertise for the brands. It does take discipline to use credit responsibly. We get bombarded to use credit, it's very tough to resist.
I love this!!! You are so spot on!!! I'm self employed, and save as much as possible, and until last year, I always worked for someone else. There's a whole new world of freedom that has opened up to me, and I love my life and what I do. I can focus on what really matters in this life. My family, and my relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ. Also licensing to hunt, fish, pretty much everything. It's ridiculous when God freely provides these things for all. Yes, there is labor to grow and hunt for your own food, but the reward is soo much greater when there's no middle man. God bless you brother!
You are very smart guy, I always used to complain why schools kept us in school more than 8 hours and gave us a homework that required/s another 8 hours?
Work. Save. Buy assets. Start a business or use your high income skill at a business .. Get rich. Enjoy life. Progression is happiness. I don't want to be a nomad either. Success is a lonely road while failure is a crowded highway.
I learn something new each day from you channel Tim ..thank you. Another new trend observed this part of the year is to... Work➡️Loans➡️Overspend➡️Broke➡️Loan➡️spendall➡️ stress➡️Die⚰️=madness.
Government is the issue too many taxes do not allow you to keep what you make, also college requires debt to even make “ future money” aka pay more tax! Even the online incomes get screwed eventually by govt!
I'm so glad your face pops up on my you tube feed. You are one of the real, true voices I get to hear on this here planet. Thank you for sharing knowledge with the rest of us in the same boat
Perfectly put Tim! Gotta work towards breaking the cycle and understand that it will probably take time. Stick the course. I get frustrated when I try to explain the message of this video to ppl and they look at me like I'm crazy. Programming. I got a long way to go but watching these videos helps me stay motivated and keep going the alternative/minimalist type path. Cheers!
I just found your channel not too long ago and it has easily become one of my favorites, especially videos like this one! I agree very much so when talking about this rat race matrix system that we live in and should escape . And honestly I have found my destiny in life I just want to live a simple life live small off-grid!
Best video yet! I've peeped this for minute now and that's why I'm seeking true self, purpose, and real freedom! You in your bag with this one bro! So much game here, big brother may outlaw the video✊🏿
Tim, I had pieced a lot of what you said together but had never thought of it as well as you shared! Thank you! P.S. Totally related to it being sadly comical!😅 God Bless
Hi Tim, For the past 6 years I slept in, enjoy whatever I wanted to do because of how I set out to do my life. I bought little house paid it off got out of debt early and retired. So now days I only do house work. I declutter everything I no longer needed, thanks, to you and the people who put out videos by having less you have more. I was raise get married have children but I toss that programming out at age 15 I seen no reason to marry or have children. I got that holy bible read every page I discover we do not need to get marry it is another false message unless you read the whole bible you can miss some of these nuggets of wisdom out of the holy bible. People love taking piece of the bible and try and make others live by it. I heard a song Not getting fool again between that song the bible you and others on youtube I redesign my life and any one can. No more listening to other people assuming how to live life. Do your life your way. That what I discovered. Thank You, Tim, for sharing your thoughts and wisdom on youtube.

The best gift I can give my future son, is to not bring him into this slave worker world, where the true God is money.
You must not have much joy in your life if you think that is all there is to do in the world.

School teaches you to be a good employee, thats all
And to 'respect authority'.

Yup, I'm working on clearing my debt and hitting the road! The world is to big for me to be a slave confined to one place to survive
The entertainment/programming industry was making us aware of this knowledge in many ways, one such as "Pinky and the Brain".
I agree. It’s a cycle that we don’t even realize that we’re conditioned into from birth.
Man...minutes 5.00-9.00 are gold. This is the most eye opening explanation of the American Dream scheme I've heard.
"Knowledge is about learning new things everyday. Wisdom is about unlearning old things everyday."
So so true… sadly, in society without money we can’t survive. We’re slaves to paper and this is all by design.

Nope ! I'm glad covid happen at age 28 realize how fucked we are now I have time to prepare
One of the smartest things I ever did was cinch up my belt & paid off my school loans as soon as I got a job. I have a friend _still_ paying off his because he thinks living with debt is *normal.* In the '90's, banks & credit institutions lined up along the college green, handing out credit cards to students like they were candy. THAT's where this sh*t started...
People _used_ to be able to buy their cars outright & houses & rent weren't insane. Until enough of us demand that the average cost of living be _lowered_ to meet the average paycheck, instead of constantly raising the minimum wage, we will continue to own less & less that lessens our control over our own lives. The economic noose is tightening around us & YES it's intentional.
I want to learn how to invest and save money, start early while I'm in early 20s. I'm also trying to see how I can start a small side business for myself so I can do what I enjoy. I want to live below my means and be debt free, that's my goal. Good video!
If you do what you love ... it isnt working! Its JOYFUL
I use my credit card for my bills and groceries. No credit card debt! More people need to see this video! I'm over here living and being carefree!
Saw the thumbnail and clicked on it so fast and I didn't even know it was you, Tim. You hit the nail right on the head. My BF and I talk about this all the time as we are trying to break free from this matrix as well. I cannot believe you only gave us 17 min. I'm gonna need a 3 hour live stream on this topic!!! Pretty please. LOL
Thought the same, short video for such a interesting topic that I too feel so passionate about. I paid off debt twice, and that debt was not due to careless spending on things as I too like to be minimal but on house repairs etc however feel great having paid them off. Still have a mortgage which I doubt I will pay off as its interest only but the way I look at this is that the home served it’s purpose and housed me and my kids, they are adults now. In a few years I may have to sell up and begin my next chapter please god. But all that Tim says is all true, it’s hard to convey this to children however but keep planting seeds.
The ones most enslaved are the ones who don’t know they are enslaved, there are no prison walls but it’s still a prison
Absolute truth
I been tellin folks this stuff for years and they said i was crazy and lazy😂😂
I feel you 😂😢
Thank you for the timely reminder Tim! Now is the time to wake up & break free from this hamster wheel, consumerist BS and start living the life!
cooperatives, worker owned companies, and profit sharing is the answer. Wish people knew more about it. Also abolishing corporations would be a good step forward.
Good one Tim. At 57 I am working on breaking free. Will be there in a couple years.
Already sub'd follower here!
Sir, you have absolutely NO IDEA how important you are to the average humanbeing, for that matter THE WHOLE HUMAN RACE! I appreciate the hell outta you as a "barely getting by broke 57yr "young" grandma" here in DeLand Florida🙄😏.... originally born and raised in San Diego Ca🥰, ....I've worked hard all my life and other than my 2 beautiful young adult kids and a beautiful granddaughter, I HAVE NOTHING "NOTHING" to show for it.😵💫😩
Just thank you so much for coming into my TH-cam feed, btw I'm so very happy you got sober my guy. You are truly living life now, BE FREE!💪🏻👍🏻✌🏻❤️🤗
Modern day slavery... But you can get out of it You think more "things" make you happy, that's how they program you but over time I realized that wasn't it at all for me. Freedom to do what I want with my time is the most valuable, fulfilling thing to me. You can either do that by being rich or you can do that by living "poor"... giving up all the fancy stuff and living with less, which maybe isn't really poor at all...
THIS IS MADNESS! Thanks for pointing this out. The first step in changing something is to recognize it. I love the way you break this down.
I owe I owe, so of to work I go.
Tuco said it best in the Sergio Leone classic The Good The Bad and the Ugly "if you work for a living why do you kill yourself working?"
Tyler Durden in Fight Club was spot on too by saying "working in jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need."
I like these two and love you too Tim! :)
You're so right! I've been thinking the same things over and over as well, only you added the extra depth to it and added humor to it! Better to laugh as to cry yeah. You're awesome! May the heavenly Father guide and protect you!
I am late to the party. But I am catching up. But yes, I was taught in school to go to college, my father recommended trade schools. I was taught keep your nose clean, be a good boy, tuck your shirt in, shine your shoes, cut your hair, get a job with benefits and a pension lol! Oh my....how I would have done things different. As a 50-year-old man....if I would have only known 30 years ago what I know now. And this world continues to go to crap.
As a retired Boomer I did what I had to do, and now I am comfortable and live as I want, but I can’t help wondering what would have happened if I had taken a year or two off to travel the world when I was young. Instead I bought into the crystal and china and setting a beautiful table. Ba humbug, that was a mistake.
Do it now as a young man I'm 21 go forfill that while you still alive trust me don't let anything stop you
True, one needs to make money, but you don't need a "Good job". One needs enough to cover "needs", the rest is gravy. What you're talking about relates to the clothing industry. The people actually doing the work of assembling/sewing together the shirts, pants, etc... get paid a few dollars a day, for 12, or 14 hour days, while celebrities, athletes, and/or models, get paid millions, to advertise for the brands. It does take discipline to use credit responsibly. We get bombarded to use credit, it's very tough to resist.
Tim...It a sad cycle♻️...I cut down my spending about 2 years now. I refuse to be in debt for life. That is not freedom!
Facts. Companies would make us work for free if they could!
Now I understand the game of matrix
I love this!!! You are so spot on!!! I'm self employed, and save as much as possible, and until last year, I always worked for someone else. There's a whole new world of freedom that has opened up to me, and I love my life and what I do. I can focus on what really matters in this life. My family, and my relationship with my Lord Jesus Christ. Also licensing to hunt, fish, pretty much everything. It's ridiculous when God freely provides these things for all. Yes, there is labor to grow and hunt for your own food, but the reward is soo much greater when there's no middle man. God bless you brother!
This was the most profound and well constructed video on this topic. Tim, thanks for educating the masses. ❤🎉❤
Wow one of your best videos yet. I love how you said there is nothing in nature that's in debt. Debt is not natural
Man keep using yo platform to speak FACTS
This should be on a hoodie ASAP. I’d buy it. “Work. Buy. Get debt. Die.” Perfect.
Whats your address? I have that exact sweatshirt
@@relaxnjoe5422 really?
@@0xggbrnr yeah forreal, not sure how you wanna get in contact so you don’t put ur address on TH-cam lol
You are very smart guy, I always used to complain why schools kept us in school more than 8 hours and gave us a homework that required/s another 8 hours?
Work. Save. Buy assets. Start a business or use your high income skill at a business .. Get rich. Enjoy life. Progression is happiness. I don't want to be a nomad either. Success is a lonely road while failure is a crowded highway.
Love these breakdowns Tim, definitely puts things into perspective.
Going to write this down and remind myself what their plan is
facts, break the cycle now
I learn something new each day from you channel Tim ..thank you.
Another new trend observed this part of the year is to... Work➡️Loans➡️Overspend➡️Broke➡️Loan➡️spendall➡️ stress➡️Die⚰️=madness.
This is why I subscribed to your channel.
We were programmed since birth but people are waking but a lot are still lost
Tru dat
More money at the end of the month or more month at the end of the money. Your choice
Government is the issue too many taxes do not allow you to keep what you make, also college requires debt to even make “ future money” aka pay more tax! Even the online incomes get screwed eventually by govt!
I'm so glad your face pops up on my you tube feed. You are one of the real, true voices I get to hear on this here planet. Thank you for sharing knowledge with the rest of us in the same boat
Perfectly put Tim! Gotta work towards breaking the cycle and understand that it will probably take time. Stick the course. I get frustrated when I try to explain the message of this video to ppl and they look at me like I'm crazy. Programming. I got a long way to go but watching these videos helps me stay motivated and keep going the alternative/minimalist type path. Cheers!
This was on point Tim. 💯
Great content Tim and very true too many are living this way and cannot see a way out. Its veen normal for too long x
The system wasn't really designed to have an exit strategy. It's meant to keel the wheels of tbr economic machine turning
I just found your channel not too long ago and it has easily become one of my favorites, especially videos like this one! I agree very much so when talking about this rat race matrix system that we live in and should escape . And honestly I have found my destiny in life I just want to live a simple life live small off-grid!
Best video yet! I've peeped this for minute now and that's why I'm seeking true self, purpose, and real freedom! You in your bag with this one bro! So much game here, big brother may outlaw the video✊🏿
Life is like the matrix
This man preaches nothing but facts.
This is the reality
Definitely needed to hear this today--one foot on, one foot off the consumer treadmill. Thanks for the very well articulated wisdom!
I agree you can’t afford America’s trashed cars 🚗 and house 🏡 prices are through the roof……
Facts!! Stay true my man. May Jehovah and Jesus bless you, protect you, and give you strength!
This video should have more likes, it was more insightful than the American dream video
Tim, I had pieced a lot of what you said together but had never thought of it as well as you shared! Thank you! P.S. Totally related to it being sadly comical!😅 God Bless
Thank you for this! Can’t wait to get to this place in life.
Hi Tim, For the past 6 years I slept in, enjoy whatever I wanted to do because of how I set out to do my life.
I bought little house paid it off got out of debt early and retired. So now days I only do house work. I declutter everything I no longer needed, thanks, to you and the people who put out videos by having less you have more.
I was raise get married have children but I toss that programming out at age 15 I seen no reason to marry or have children. I got that holy bible read every page I discover we do not need to get marry it is another false message unless you read the whole bible you can miss some of these nuggets of wisdom out of the holy bible.
People love taking piece of the bible and try and make others live by it. I heard a song Not getting fool again between that song the bible you and others on youtube I redesign my life and any one can. No more listening to other people assuming how to live life. Do your life your way. That what I discovered. Thank You, Tim, for sharing your thoughts and wisdom on youtube.
