Not an excuse. Imagine living in Gaza…they don’t have time for self-pity when it’s down to survival. They can’t say: I’m exhausted and mentally drained. Yet they carry on, as you should!
I’ve been a wage slave my whole life. I wish I had been more aware when I was young enough to do something about it. But I am glad to see that younger folks waking up to the fact that working for corporate entities or bad bosses is in fact a kind of slavery. I had not taken a vacation longer than a week in twenty years until recently. Now that I am older I am taking longer trips and more trips, because now that I am entering old age my time is very short.
The sad reality is that even if some wage slaves start a business or become an entrepreneur then they will give job to others and make them wage slaves.
Yes, I agree. Thats why I have always strived for creating a one man business (made a video about it, the perks of it). I don't want to hire people. But I want to hire and outsource work to other one man businesses.
Precisely - it is the nature of the beast which is why this earth is called a 'prison planet' and why 'our souls are encased in meat bags' it is to keep us enslaved. I've noticed in my life that one can tell in children already who is going to 'make it' and who is 'not' - its to do with the 'easy going and co-operative or not being so' - if one is 'easy going and co-operative one is not, unless one is very very lucky going to make it so to speak

There is no escaping to wage slavery. Most self employed people work 3 times harder than the average salary worker. In countries where most people work for themselves on small farms, street vendors, small tuck shops, etc, people work even harder for less 😢
@@BigBrother04 the people who are at the bottom work the most and get paid the lowest and unfortunately this stupid people at the bottom produce the most wage slaves by having more children and wage slave cycle never stop.
I’m 27 I finished high school but did not go to college because I did not know what I want to do. I still don’t know what to do with my life, I’m lost. I work for a major car insurance company and I hate the job. Also having adhd does not help the situation , I want to go back to school but I’m scared I’ll fail due to my adhd it’s hard to retain new Information and it takes me longer than others to learn things. All I know is I don’t want to do these jobs…
Maybe investigate if there's a trade you would love. It gets a bit trickier as you get older if you don't have some savings or assets or inheritance from parents
Just discovered your channel today. I'm on social security disability insurance for serious chronic mental illness (schizophrenia) and congestive heart failure. Sometimes people tell me I am lucky in that I don't have a job and have a state sponsored disability pension and free health care. Sadly, they may be right. Sure my health is gone, I have no children, and I will probably die young. But I don't have to worry about my meals or health care. Some people, including my own family, think people on disability are drains on society and should be forced to rely on churches and private groups.
Hey Zack. Nothing wrong with society taking care of you. Hope you never feel guilty about that. Your family members, i have a family with weird conceptions too. I keep telling myself its not their fault. They are programmed to think a certain way. Im so sorry to hear about your challenges. I wish you find peace, health and longer life expentency my friend.
@zach464, The connection lies in the loss of economic autonomy and self-sustainability. When individuals are denied access to property and means of production, such as cattle and chickens, they often become dependent on wage labor to survive. Without the ability to generate their own income or resources, they are compelled to sell their labor for wages, effectively becoming wage slaves to those who control the means of production. This loss of control over one's economic destiny can perpetuate a cycle of dependence and exploitation, reinforcing the dynamics of wage slavery. We deserve a universal basic income just for being born into this world, without any requirement of mental illness. I am glad you've been approved for SSD. My brother had schizophrenia too, so I know what you're going through.
Recently met a guy who is totally self employed (so far as working for cash) and he basically goes to people's homes - people like myself, housewifes etc to sort out their 'software' problems - so he does not need an office and charges £40 per hour and lives as free as a bird - he seemed to be very happy
Understanding who you are and discipline is key. I was fortunate to have been able to watch my last employer start and grow a successful business and have as a mentor. Proximity to business minded people who are driven and their philosophies are contagious.
Been binging all your videos ....i am not smart but i cant be a wage slave but not smart enough to do my own business...i do walmart deliveries but we are independent contractors ...i love it i make my own schedule....take a week off if i need or want to....i keep a years worth of money ..like i could pay all my bills if i didn't work for over a year .im not rich but i feel free...no boss etc
Since I was 14 I would always tell people that I dont think humans were ment to live this way. Or at least I was not made to live this way. Im so tired ive been working a full time job since i was 14 years old. And im done. Im literally ready to leap off the edge into oblivion and be done with all of it.
Thank you for the excellent video! I only recently discovered your channel but I appreciate that you have maintained your straightforward style from the start. Too many TH-camrs adopt the overproduced clickbait format. The persistent training and experience gained towards the life you dream of is an ideal way to live each day.
So kind of you to say. Ive been doing this for a long time and resisting the urge to create clickbait is hard. I try to keep it honest as best as I can. So I appreciate that you noticed it. Thank you just saved my saturday
38 years old and didn't escape wage slavery. I failed college several times and decided not to take out more debt. I have worked at Target since I was 22 and while I am underpaid, I kind of live here lol. I work 73 hours a week and my wife and I pay the apartment rent. I also met my wife at Target because she works there too. We don't want kids anyway, so there's no sense in worrying about the fact my wife is 51 years old.
Yes as an author (crescent crown saga) and musician (frailin’ hearts) I am most happy being creative… it’s a labor of love. It’s still work don’t get me wrong, but it is something that I enjoy doing, writing stories and music. I looked at my first stories, drawings, and songs recently when I was little and it’s cute and a good reminder that we all start somewhere! If you’re trying something new, give yourself grace.
This video was great. There's lots of things I'm; A) Very good & Talented at. B) Learning to become better at. So one of my next steps needs to be to brainstorm/mind map these to figure out my options & begin to work out directions. Thank you!
Hi Tom, I think people dont lack motivation or goals to escape wage slavery, I think the issue is that they dont know what steps to take to reach their goal of escaping wage slavery. Also people lack the financial management skills to be able to effectively manage money and get their money to work for them as opposed to working for money. The educational system I believe on purpose doesn't teach anything about personal financial management, the system wants us to go to school to learn to be a wage slave to serve the elite! I also agree with you that escaping wage slavery is a process, and you need to take small steps to work towards it, I think everyone can escape wage slavery one small step at a time.
I used to own a business and it did better than i ever expected. Working a 9 to 5 literary felt like a vacation for me compared to that hahaha. So not sure i would call that an eacape... i dont think an escape exists other than changing your perspective
We live in an 'exploit' or 'be exploited' it is the way things are or alternatively "if you do not own any land or do not own the means of production and have to sell your labour to a master in order to eat and pay your rent you are a slave" which for me has always begged the question 'why do people keep bringing more people into this' I was 8 years old when I saw this brutal truth - I never had any children although I never managed to work out how to escape (I'm not exploitative enough I'm co-operative) from the future which I saw then already. When I was at 'boarding school' (I'm an ex Army brat) most of us would just 'swap cigarettes and whatever' but there was one girl amongst who would only part with her cigarettes for a huge profit - don't know where she is now but I suspect she has done very well in life - she knew then already how to make a profit of others - its life. Finally I would like to say why do 'wage slaves' the exploited 90% have children I can understand that the 'rich' breed after all they need someone to pass their gains onto but why do the poor do it! Just asking/saying
All good thoughts (and questions). I suppose, if you believe your life is justified (as most wage slaves do) they don't see the problem with having kids. I think in a way, having a kid justifies your own existence.
@@TomScryleus-Yes I suppose you are correct. Have you got hold of the works of David Benatar yet. He talks about all this - he really warms my soul he reflects my crazy thoughts. Still you are lucky you have a partner to love and your pets of course. The UK is super hot at the mo and me and my home and my cats are infested with fleas - its awful. Oops forgot to say we live in a world that was created for animals to eat each other it all dog eat dog eat dog till the bitter end - hope I'm not depressing you xox
@@TomScryleus David Benatar (I love him to bits and if I were young I would go and find him and knock on his door) is a anti-natalist vegan (just like me) and he talks about the fact that there is more suffering in life than happiness and he feels that humans should stop breeding forthwith, put right the damage we have done, and go out of existence and I agree with him 100%. I love lions and I love lambs and wish that the lions would stop eating the lambs but its life - it will never change. Changing the subject have you ever thought about studying law I used to know several 'one man bands' years back when I worked in the City - its a boring subject to learn but to work in its quite interesting and now with technology can be achieved alone.
The lions and lambs you say. Thats an interesting analogy for humans, "rich and wage slaves". I might use it in a future video.I have studied law. But not as a major subject. it was part of my MBA eduction. I wasn't good at it though, which was disapointing, I love "trial movies, boston legal etc." But I found that course very difficult. @@ChickpeatheTortie
I think wage slavery exposes a more fundamental problem. Existence is slavery. Only death frees us from it. That's why Marcus Aurelius says, imagine you are dead, you have lived your life...
It might be that people have stagnated and negative feelings and emotions have stunted the neuropathways in the brain. Good news is these can be changed and the old toxic trees in our brains break off and new ones can grow. It may be that creating new pathways just feels too hard.
Tom I have ran several businesses. The problem was I always sold my labor. The only way to make more money is to do more labor. There were not the opportunities there are now. This time I know better.
Thats really interesting. I am having a high income in It Consulting and I am probably not stupid, but when I talk to friends who make even more money, they don’t even feel like they could do it and I have a feeling like being successfull as an entepreneur is risky and maybe 1 out of ten thousand makes signifikant money with it or succeeds, while it is easy and well payed to work as a wage slave. Of course it might be possible to reach financial freedom with 60 years with living frugal and investing, but then it will maybe matter for your kids (also good) but not for you.
Hello Tom, as always your videos are professional! The good thing about financial freedom is that if more and more people from the workforce start becoming financially free, then the companies will be forced to increase wages in order to keep employers, and that is good also for the people that will remain in the workforce. At least they will have larger wages. This is true especially in Europe, because the young labor is very limited, and companies are frustrated if more and more young people become financially free.
thank you so much. :) Yes, I believe that things will change hopefully for the better. Its very trendy in the news that people don't want to work anymore. And companies struggle to keep people motivated. Im really most excited about the 4hour workday. Sadly, it will probably arrive after my retirement :(
Plenty of illegal immigrants coming in so the large corporations can pay less money. I now invest most of my money so at least I can benefit to a small degree on the modern day slavery.
Your videos out of all them definitely help me more than anything I have listened to I was 1 of them people company makes more we make more$ I was so stupid made them millions an im broke an used up.
I think I’ve realized why entrepreneurship doesn't appeal to me any more than wage slavery. As a reluctant entrepreneur, I'd still be taking on clients and projects that I’m not passionate about. Essentially, I’d be back to square one, but perhaps with a bit more free time.
I think I am too stupid to escape wage slavery. I'm 43, I've given up, and now work a 9-5. When I was young I tried several ventures. I tried a laptop repair service, it failed. I opened y own laundromat, it failed. I tried opening a school for learning foreign languages, it failed. I am stupid. I ended in debt everytime one of my small businesses failed.
Well, if your dumb like me you hopefully will learn from mistakes... I have lived off of a small business for over a decade and it did spoil me to the point that I never want another job again. The taxes are the worst part. I escaped corporate wage slavery only to be a tax cow... it feels like another kind of slavery. If you make a mistake on your taxes in the US, you could spend more time in prison than a murderer if they really want to come after you. Most folks who work in the corporate workforce have their taxes sneakily taken out before they even get paid, many don't notice.
I have passive income in the form of 3 rents. When I get the inheritance from my aunt and grandma (may the live a long life, let's be clear!) I'll probably be able to buy one or two more houses and get more rent... and finally stop working. My expenses are super low anyway. Anyway, I can't stop working now because I fear my aunt and grandma are going to disown me as a lazy fuck and give away their money to someone else.
TOM..... Dammit! Now you have caused me to think about making a channel with "stick figures" and conquering youtube muahahaha. I really love your content brother Tom. I'm going to look further to see if you have a course or something that I can learn
Yes. We would make crappy parents. Also, we both suffered from depression when we were younger, so our kids would probably be twice as depressed. So we decided to stick to pets :)
In regards to your analogy about the income of a CEO vs TH-camr, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any CEO who only makes $132K per year. Although, I think there's still merit to your analogy.
Im not to good with numbers to be honest. I just know that a ceo can't beat the hourly rate of a skilled youtuber. but of course, there are other things to consider, you can be the poorest wage slave and learn to invest your income and outearn the skilled youtuber.
i actually already made a some money on ai cryptos this year. Yes even during bear market. And yes I have some project im very bullish on. but in the end it doesn't matter that much which. Seen my videos on crypto?
"Reading up on developments in the crypto world" - what do you mean, Tom? You cannot "read up" on the the developments in crypto since the ups and downs are completely unpredictable - which is why more conservative investors shun crypto like the plague!

Of course it might be possible to reach financial freedom with 60 years with living frugal and investing, but then it will maybe matter for your kids (also good) but not for you.
wage slavery is that quick sand from which only a few would be able to escape.
yes. even if only me and the 500 people who watch videos. Its a very small amount of billions of wage slaves. so sad :(
Hello Tom, as always your videos are professional! The good thing about financial freedom is that if more and more people from the workforce start becoming financially free, then the companies will be forced to increase wages in order to keep employers, and that is good also for the people that will remain in the workforce. At least they will have larger wages. This is true especially in Europe, because the young labor is very limited, and companies are frustrated if more and more young people become financially free.
thank you so much. :)
Yes, I believe that things will change hopefully for the better.
Its very trendy in the news that people don't want to work anymore. And companies struggle to keep people motivated.
Im really most excited about the 4hour workday. Sadly, it will probably arrive after my retirement :(
Increasing wages is one of the negative known drivers of inflation (government spending being the main driver obviously).
Plenty of illegal immigrants coming in so the large corporations can pay less money. I now invest most of my money so at least I can benefit to a small degree on the modern day slavery.
That's why govts flood countries with cheap labor
Much needed
I feel burned out. Lying on my bed with no power to do anything. It's the first sick leave which I dare to take after 10 years of wage slavery
Your videos out of all them definitely help me more than anything I have listened to I was 1 of them people company makes more we make more$ I was so stupid made them millions an im broke an used up.
I think I’ve realized why entrepreneurship doesn't appeal to me any more than wage slavery. As a reluctant entrepreneur, I'd still be taking on clients and projects that I’m not passionate about. Essentially, I’d be back to square one, but perhaps with a bit more free time.
I think I am too stupid to escape wage slavery. I'm 43, I've given up, and now work a 9-5.
When I was young I tried several ventures. I tried a laptop repair service, it failed. I opened y own laundromat, it failed. I tried opening a school for learning foreign languages, it failed.
I am stupid. I ended in debt everytime one of my small businesses failed.
A brilliant video..
Our government force you to work minimum 35 years if not you cant take pension
Yeah its similar here in sweden. I should make a video about that
@@TomScryleus it's like another trap
Yes. No doubt. People dont see it though.
Well, if your dumb like me you hopefully will learn from mistakes... I have lived off of a small business for over a decade and it did spoil me to the point that I never want another job again. The taxes are the worst part. I escaped corporate wage slavery only to be a tax cow... it feels like another kind of slavery. If you make a mistake on your taxes in the US, you could spend more time in prison than a murderer if they really want to come after you. Most folks who work in the corporate workforce have their taxes sneakily taken out before they even get paid, many don't notice.
And then theres that one guy who speedruns Gannon in Zelda at lvl 1 basically naked, lol.
I have passive income in the form of 3 rents. When I get the inheritance from my aunt and grandma (may the live a long life, let's be clear!) I'll probably be able to buy one or two more houses and get more rent... and finally stop working. My expenses are super low anyway.
Anyway, I can't stop working now because I fear my aunt and grandma are going to disown me as a lazy fuck and give away their money to someone else.
TOM.....
Dammit! Now you have caused me to think about making a channel with "stick figures" and conquering youtube muahahaha.
I really love your content brother Tom.
I'm going to look further to see if you have a course or something that I can learn
Have you choosen to live child free life?
Yes.
We would make crappy parents.
Also, we both suffered from depression when we were younger, so our kids would probably be twice as depressed.
So we decided to stick to pets :)
@@TomScryleus Hi - its me again - when you were young - how did you manage to cure it?
I told you I don't think there is anything wrong with having kids. :)
it was just a decision we made.
I was talking about the 'depression' not the kids (that has never needed curing) how did you manage to cure it.:-)
you guys lolllll
Cant wait to find out cant fford to follow up
I escaped when called non essential. Still not living well but FREEDUMB!!
In regards to your analogy about the income of a CEO vs TH-camr, I think you'd be hard pressed to find any CEO who only makes $132K per year. Although, I think there's still merit to your analogy.
Im not to good with numbers to be honest. I just know that a ceo can't beat the hourly rate of a skilled youtuber. but of course, there are other things to consider, you can be the poorest wage slave and learn to invest your income and outearn the skilled youtuber.
First step is to realize if you are a slave or not. Some people are slaves, other serfs, some realize their condition, some dont
whats the second step?
@@TomScryleus Finding solutions 🙂
@youknowkbbaby That's true. Not for everybody

Do you think that AI based crypto projects are(maybe) next bull run golden eggs?
Do you have any projects that you are really bullish on?
Cheers! 🤘🏻
i actually already made a some money on ai cryptos this year. Yes even during bear market.
And yes I have some project im very bullish on. but in the end it doesn't matter that much which.
Seen my videos on crypto?
@@TomScryleus Not sure, if you are willing reply with the link to it..
Thx
Ugh or lack of focus without meds
"Reading up on developments in the crypto world" - what do you mean, Tom? You cannot "read up" on the the developments in crypto since the ups and downs are completely unpredictable - which is why more conservative investors shun crypto like the plague!
I don't want the risks, expenses, or responsibility of running a business so I work for someone else. Im not a wage slave and neither are you.
How can Twitter help you grow your audience? Many thanks and best regards
