The only ambition I have at this point is to *keep.* *Myself.* *Alive.* Not concerned with what anyone else is doing or chasing after. My health and mental/emotional peace are my *only* priority, above *all else.*
Quit my job, and haven't regretted it since. I'll have to work again someday. But the 40+ hour workweek is a social injustice. I'm in no hurry to go back to the grind. Your time is the most precious commodity you have. Don't let them rob you of your best years.
Yes! We’re conditioned to think that our productivity determines our worth. Like being burnt out and depressed means we’re a valuable member of society. It’s so backwards. I couldn’t do it anymore. I donated all my stuff and quit work, now I just don’t buy anything and live a minimal life. Finally feel at peace for the first time. 😸
I would LOVE to quit my job. My elderly mother and I are talking about moving in together to save money. I want to pursue things that I love - writing, making a TH-cam channel, and being creative. I just want to be happy. I couldn't care less about having "things"
When I saw a brain surgeon quit his job and live in the mountains, instantly at that point I lost all hope in society. So there for I sit back and relax and let "america" aka Babylon fall.
No, now there is hope. It means something new can form out of this. It will be hard at first, but the memories will be the things that we will see before our passing
I work for man who gets bonuses based on staff productivity so he’s been driving all of us into the ground for the last seven years. This week over half of our team quit and the other half are putting resumes together to escape the matrix. We’re absolutely exhausted. Life is too short to be full of stress and anxiety all the time. Quotas, mandates, nonstop deadlines are robbing your precious time away. Do the necessary amount of work to get by, take those vacation days and be happy. Nobody gets out of this life alive✌🏼
When I was younger in my twenties and 30s, I had to use headphones to run or walk. Now, when I go for a walk, I don't need any headphones . I just walk and process my thoughts and I try to remember why I should be thankful for the things I have now. I'm thankful that my knees still work too! Great video Tim!
Honestly, after my divorce, being a broke single mom was the best thing that ever happened. My kids are more grounded, not chasing the newest tech. I live on a hobby farm and work part time. No TV, no Internet except my phone, I can see the stars at night. Money just doesn't mean as much to me as it does other people, I have other riches that they can't see or understand
Just talked to my parents about this matter. My sister is selling her 2 million house in California (1 mil mortgage). Her mansion, of 5 bathrooms and bedrooms, 3 living rooms 25 lamps, 5 couches. I always said to my sisters they both have the same house, while I was living in my big to me condo 1000sqft 1 bathroom, 1 living room hahaha 🤣 it was a simple life for us. Easy easy to clean up, cheap on electricity bill. I never had to climb the corporate ladder because I did NOT need to. I got to work from home for 7 years and 1 year in the office. I saved on daycare expenses because i worked while taking care of my child. Sold that condo, made 170k went to rent for a couple of years, a small 1 bedroom. We traveled, we relaxed, sure we worked but we didn’t work for the check, as we didn’t live paycheck to paycheck. Retired 2 years ago at 38 and cashed my condo. I have no ambition and been told that am going to get bored doing nothing. Lol 😅 if that is the case one day, then I go get a job, if I missed working and grinding. Eh? I haven’t felt bored😂 I do what I love every day, walking, hiking, skiing , biking (FREE), I am 41 now and never been fit like this. I have since traveled to Paris, Copenhagen, Umeå, next on the agenda is Thailand next month and Stockholm in the summer. I look forward to waking up everyday😊 I am here to enjoy my life and that’s that! If people wanna work themselves to the grave to just live in a mansion, and drive that Tesla/Mercedes Benz go ahead. But do know that they are working for those things and never home to enjoy their mansion which is ironic.
Jobs have a way of dehumanizing people, I have gotten laid off three times in the last 5 years, and every time I was unemployed, I felt human again because I didn’t have to wake up and go to some silly job. It’s just getting ridiculous to try and hold these jobs, when these jobs don’t really care about people. Stop calling people lazy if they don’t want to work. It’s we want to breath a little, enjoy our mornings for a change. Process our thoughts a little . And just not be stressed always because we are worrying about holding a job down
You make some great points. I think the strict routine of working goes against of true nature. Like you said, we naturally want to enjoy our mornings, relax, and take in life. Not wake up to an alarm clock every morning!
Talking about ambition reminded me of this verse: "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands...so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
I totally agree with what you’re saying! Been there, done that, I’m not ever going back to hustle culture again. Not worth it, and it’s okay to be single, too. Why do I need to fit into someone else’s unrealistic fairytale agenda and expectations? To thine own self be true! I love uour podcasts!
That's funny..I always see videos telling people to think like me and act like me but society despise and hate people like me because I'm nothing like them.
I agree with you Tim, we work all our lives for material possessions and what really mattered all along was our time, not how much money we have. I strive to be like you Tim. Keep up the good vids.
I’ve only been employed 2 months out of the past 5 years. I never expected to make it this long, but I just do what makes me happy and somehow the money just sorts itself out! 🤷🏻♀️ I genuinely do spend most of my time playing video games and watching tv. I have no car and two roommates, but I live in a great area and it’s easy to walk or bus anywhere I need to go. And recently I got a foster cat (at no personal expense). Life is good. I’m learning that living can really just be about enjoying each day as it comes. 🥰
Love this comment!!!! Things do just kind of sort themselves out when you choose to live a simple life that prioritizes happiness, your passions, and your peace.
At 49 years old, I have recently transitioned from my six-figure sales position to pursue the goals outlined in this video. Thank you for your inspiring work, Tim. It is essential that people recognize that old traditional methods are often not effective. Wishing you continued success. ✌🏻
I set myself up in a way that I’m doing well. I only compete with past versions of myself and nobody else. 😊 The amount of people who make ugly comments about my lifestyle and or make assumptions only tells me that they’re unhappy & jealous. 😂 Thank you for making this video. You’re a breath of fresh air and keep me inspired 😊
Im 42 single no kids never married. Saving $ to move too Thailand. Im sick of America system. Everything is about $ and controlling us. Wake up people.
Timothy, I am a tiny channel, but you have inspired me SO MUCH!!!! For the past 2 years I have been saving and scheming on how to simplify my life to the MAX !!! And this year I finally gained some courage to start a channel and talk about it all
I’ve learned that I just need to ignore those who say I’m lazy for wanting a simple life. They are just not on your level of intelligence and have been super indoctrinated. You need to be on a certain level to think outside the box and if you are not on that level I just ignore them.
Every time I watch Shark Tank I watch it with pity. Not so much for those that are trying to start a business, but for the Sharks themselves. The Sharks seem to never have enough. Imagine constantly pursuing the next big investment, the next big company or profitable idea when you already have millions or billions. When do they actually get to enjoy their wealth? Most will say they are pursuing "freedom" but are they really free? Or are they just on a larger hamster wheel than the rest of us?
Ever notice that none of these Hustle Gurus ever talk about the price of making more money if you're not in the Bezos class? Taxes. Like what is the point of the stress on your body only to give more to the government to waste.
I grew up with parents who had low work ethic and were constantly complaining they had no money. Had zero discretionary income and when stuff broke around the house they couldn’t fix it and were house poor. Resulted in being in a 100F degree house without air conditioning in Las Vegas summer. There’s a price for sloth!
@@mistywol2383your not listening to what he's saying he's saying take care of yourself and your needs of course put up some savings then if you don't want to do anymore than that don't do it
The reason certain people make the negative comments on here is because they’ve realized they have to do things they don’t want to do for lousy money and they’re upset about it, plain and simple.
or they are normal people without trustfund and will get homeless and frozen to death if doing nothing ... and never be hired again as recruiters instantly discard people with job gaps
Great video Tim. I likely mentioned that I'm taking some time off from working to care for my parents due to their health declining. I am getting ready to turn in my two week notice either this week or next week. From there, I will just focus on improving the health of my parents and then I will take month to travel and unwind from all of this before looking for more work.
In my opinion the key to making this a reality is to build your retirement into your life. What this means is secure a paid for home, install solar & batteries to have power until the end, install rainwater catchment, build a large garden, raise your own meat & eggs, super insulate your home so it uses 90% less energy to heat and cool etc. This way you need very little to retire. This is what im doing and its way easier than working 40+ hr weeks for 50 years.
The return on effort is gone also. Its nearly impossible to get ahead. Graduates from professional schools are not able to get jobs in their field. And they are buried in student loans.
There is an interesting parallel in China called "Tang ping" (lying flat). It was more prominent in 2021 during the Covid lockdowns. The message is the same as here: prioritize psychological health over economic materialism. Tang ping has been heavily censored, but in a place where 996 is a thing and people in their 20s are literally having heart attacks from overwork, it's badly needed.
I was thinking about the exact same thing! I've started my own version of lying flat. I started living out of my van back in September. Trying to live cheaply after going through a divorce last year. Going to stack my cash and retirement as much as I can these next several years.
@@brettfisher292 Nice! That's the way! I'm right behind ya. I'm still working on modding my van, but I've left the corporate grind to take a long sabbatical.
I haven't worked in four months. Being semi retired since age 35 on a salary of only $40k. I'm not stressed about money, I have plenty in the bank to pay my bills. I took a three week vacation to Jamaica in September, thinking about taking a beach vacation to Florida next week to get away from the cold and snow. The key is to be a minimalist and dont have kids. People just gotta start making better life/financial choices, It's not that difficult.
I love my kids very much, but I advise everyone not to have kids. It's not a question of liking kids or not. They're great! But let someone else have them. The world doesn't need more people, and you don't need the burden. The corporate world wants you to have more kids to feed their desire for cheap labor, nothing more. Don't be a slave, and don't create more slaves.
Video was right on and perfect timing! I just quit my 9-5 of 1 year on new year's , of course I saved money in order to do it. But I feel great don't don't have to worry about waking up on time, dealing with a bunch of attitudes. Im taking a month or 2 off to catch up around the house and everything thing else I've been putting off over the last couple 2 yrs. I get back on the grind afterwards. 👌
This is it right here. Im sure there was people like us who thought the same thing many years before us. The whole "theres gotta be more to life to than just working" 💯
@@baldeagle4710That’s what keeps me going on. It’s like, you do need something to do everyday, might as well make money. I’ve quit jobs before just to be broke and bored. At least with work, you have some money and something to do. However, I just hate HAVING to do it and getting up when I don’t want to….better than being broke and bored though!
Car free for years! Yet, still, constantly interrogated over it. 'Why do you not have a car?' 'Why do you not want a car?' 'If you have a car - you can make enough money to have a car! Wouldn't that be better?!'
Car is one thing I will never give up. It is my freedom. Hate that it costs about 3-5k a year to run but it is what it is. Public transport isn't cheap either and I'd much rather be enjoying my own car and going when/where I want to at will.
ive always said i never work hard accept be a mother to my children....never had a career just jobs never worked at one place for more than 5 years I never really understood the concept of work somewhere for 30 years and then retire it just sound so dumb to me...i know I don't have much at 45 but I'm have my peace of mind and I'm not worn out by the grind culture. when you see people making 100k struggling I see no reason to make more money!
Well, I've been at my job for 30 years and counting. Why? It's not stressful and I get to retire from work altogether with full benefits in about a year! For me it has been worth it. I don't want a sabbatical, I want to quit work forever!
Yes it is the answer. Do nothing for the machine and do only what you enjoy for yourself and your freinds and family. It was always the answer. No need to doubt yourself. You already knew the answer all along. Peace guys 😊
😂😂 bro I am EXACTLY like you…I retired from the Airforce two years ago and I am so over the bullshit..I have my house and I have a pension if I live modestly I’m good to really not need to work again…I have been doing the bare minimum with any job and then I quit after a short time…I don’t even care.
Yes, but YOU have earned the right to check out. You've paid your dues, and for all the brave men and women in uniform, we are eternally grateful for the critical WORK that you do/did. Thank you for your service and enjoy your newfound freedom!!! 👊🏽👊🏽👊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🤗🤗🤗
As a culture, we've been moving away from envying our neighbor’s stuff to envying their peace. And this is a good change. We're also realizing that our time is not merely a raw commodity that has no value until we've sold it for money. We're realizing is the only thing we have of actual value. There's a reason the capitalistic establishment has brainwashed us to feel like we're wasting our time to not use it to make more money. It's because they always win in the exchange. They're always making more off our time than we are. By a LONG shot. There's no such thing as wasting your time when spending it on yourself. In fact, we need to reclaim it from the idea we owe it to "them". "Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless." -Calvin & Hobbes
I lived most of my life this way. I never felt the working world, "moving up", ambition, etc was for me. It was bizarre to spend the whole day in an office, day after day, and never really be out in the sun or stand in the sunlight. So I didn't buy into it. I never cared for material things that much either. I still have "things" of course, but sometimes I walk around the stores and happily marvel at all the stuff I do not need or want (that will sadly all become trash one day- that is what I "see". Piles of shiny future trash). I spent my money on travel and my time experiencing this world. Now, however, in my 60s, I realize I never thought about saving money for the future. I figured I could always work. and always find a place to stay, food to eat. What I did not anticipate is that I am plumb tired of working at all. There are body aches and problems. However, I still need money, and for the first time in my life I am getting a little worried. Tim, I know you have mentioned saving/investing money. I would like to hear more about that. And/or how others have managed this, or are planning to.
My goal in future videos is to start addressing more ways to live low cost, earn money without a standard 9 to 5, and how to start investing for the future. I hope some of the content will be helpful to you, my friend!
Spent most of my life trying to make more and more money and it finally killed my soul. Decided to never ever be part of the corporate world ever again, and now I’m free. I make enough money to pay the bills and I’m good with that. No more bs is so awesome!
I came across this concept called Radical Acceptance, it allowed me to come to terms with the fact that I simply don't have a passion to do something for a living. I'm still working a job I like, hopefully not for too much longer (I'm typing this at work with my boss sitting right behind me, hehe), but I'm done with trying to find a job I'm passionate about, and it's been extremely liberating.
A lot us still grinding away in middle age would have been better off working in the international hospitality or tourism industry in our 20s. That would have allowed us to travel on a budget and enjoy our youth. Instead, a lot of us started grinded and decades later, never found a way off the treadmill. We just didn't know any better. I'm glad to see more and more 20 somethings not repeating our mistake. If the grind is inevitable, do not let them take away your best years.
Its a huge conversation, if you are paying rent going into retirement your in for a bad time is a simple example, no matter how many countries you visited in your 20's.
When I worked in healthcare, I gave 100% to my patients and 0% to the bureaucracy. I had to fill in for the administrator one day, and I told all the higher-ups at a meeting that I think they only like to hear themselves talk. I was never asked to cover again.
90% of admin jobs are just bloat anyway, you could get rid of basically every administrator except the CMO and the heads of the AR, AP, & HIM departments, and the hospital I work at would function exactly the same while saving hundreds of thousands on admin incomes lol
@@user-hn9qg5qm3o outstanding! I did over 30 years as an occupational therapist. They kept pushing me towards admin as a rehab director, and I always turned it down. Not worth the headache.
Amen friend. I will not wait another second chasing something I don’t need to enjoy my life RIGHT NOW! Live, enjoy, relax, do what you want to do because life is short and it’s no one else’s choice but yours what you want to do with it.
Tim you inspired me to follow my heart. I was afraid to leave the rat race but you have given me the confidence to forge my own path instead of following society.
Don’t forget - each time you make more money the more you are taxed on those earnings ‼️ I took a pay cut over a year ago after working at Amazon over 4 yrs and holding a position within the BEN group within my region. Now I just clean full time making $3 less and working my side hustles plus building a few businesses. Less stress and I have more time to work on my own plans for life plus soon I can start traveling more again while I’m working to move out of the State where I live to a State where I used to live during my childhood. Big plans in place for 2025🎉🎊🎉😊
thanks tim for always being the voice of reason your videos are waking a lot of people up ❤❤❤ wishing you the best in life life is meant to be enjoyed and lived like you said
Tim, words of wisdom as always. Absolutely agree. I voluntarily dissolved my successful business last year, after realizing I simply didnt enjoy my craft anymore. The state department thought I was an idiot for not selling the business for cash. I only had the energy to walk away. Now, Im still working, but I work a rotational job that gives me incredible work/life balance and much needed health benefits for some health issues I have. It's the closest I feel I can get to the stage you are at(comfy and not working a brain drain job). I think a great way to describe this instead of an "occupational awakening" is more like "Tim is handing everyone some keys to those golden handcuffs that your hustle covertly slapped on ya." Treat yourself, always. Just my two cents. Much love from Alaska
The news just reported that Zuck decided to "raise the bar" for his employees to prepare for an "intense year," thus he'll be laying off thousands of Meta employees. Bye Felicia! Those are the employers we need to be free from. They have more money that they and their families can spend in a lifetime, but they are going to squeeze their employees dry just the same, because a little more is always better for them.
I left a high pressure job in 2014 paying £45 ph, I was burned out so took 2 years off. 2016 I took a 3 day wk job in retail paying £7.50 ph, I was the happiest I'd been in years. I clocked in and out, then left the work behind. Sold my house last year and haven't worked since. I have no desire to go back to that life style. I'm content doing 'nothing' and agree with this message. It just feels like a scam at this point.
I completely understand that mindset. After reading that Utah Congress members want to give people having children anywhere for $2800 to $5000 tax credits for each child. Where is that 'free and entitlement' money coming from? As someone who couldn't have children, I wonder why I even bother to work hard to try and achieve a nice life. They just take and take they blame me when I say no more. It stacked against you
Most men do stuff for 1 of 3 power,Money, or Women. When Yiur job fails to get You any of those things what’s the point. The only reason I haven’t given up yet is My Family more specifically my two little girls. If I didn’t have them I would’ve given up awhile ago.
We just have to figure out what we want to do in life and do it. Once you figure it out then your vision becomes clear and the path will open for you to get done and yes it will be work but it’s about sacrificing for what you want and then your life will become free.
New movement? Ive been living well below my means and working 20hr weeks since 1992 hahahaha. On top of that ive mostly only done things i enjoy earn funds. And being self employed all my life has allowed me to achieve one fo my main goals and thats to never have to use an alarm clock to wake up and to go to sleep and wake up when im tired and have gotten enough sleep. Ive gotten lots of negative comments about it from friends and family but now days more and more of them have come to see the logic in my choice. If my family wasnt stupid we would all have pitched in to get an apartment building so we could all live close, help each other, share knowledge and most importantly live wel well below our means. Instead most of my family work to survive and get very little time to enjoy life.
Super proud of you! That’s what’s up! You know how to make like work WITHOUT vilifying or disparaging work. It’s definitely not a NEW movement. The only thing that’s new is the whole culture of people disparaging and damning work yet convincing working people to fork over their WORK wages to them while they do nothing. THAT is relatively new…and mind-boggling, if you ask me. But I doubt if it will last. People are already waking up to the game.
@carolcielle Yeah i rehab houses right not as im saving up for two major projects to build so i can retire enjoying life to the fullest and i run into allot of people that try to get me to give them my time and skills for free. To me if someone wants anything from me for free thats basically asking me to give them some of my precious life so they can have more of their life for themselves. Im not having it hahahaha.
@jumbothompson Not just asians. I grew up in Seattle and most people fresh off the boat did it to thrive but american culture teaches us to compete with family so we all stay broke and miserable haha
I remember the first financial guru I watched. Susie Olmen was yelling at the tv saying not to have a family unless you had 500k in the retirement fund. Found out how much a hypocrite this woman was. People always telling you to do this or that. F them you do you and have a good life.
Exactly she's the worst of the worst I saw a documentary on her life what a charlatan people calling in asking her suzue can I buy this? & she hollers out DENIED that Dave Ramsey he's another one don't get me started😂
Boredom and need of purpose are innate needs that need to be "solved" regardless if you're in the 9 to 5 or not. You won't escape those "problems" wherever you go.
Ha ha ha, Tim! Well done for getting to that conclusion, the one with the time off! Yes, 6 months off equals 26 years of work. That's what I say to people: look at your life with a 9 to 5: if you somehow manage to get 10 days off in a row (rare occasion, but feasible), you will obtain 10 x 50 years = 500 days off throughout your employment years. And this is IF you manage to maintain constant employment from age 18 to 68!!!! For most people, you get less than a year of days off, by this math. Sooo.... they need to really think about it, imo. Is it worth it?
I remember about 10 yrs ago I was working every single day quit smoking and drinking and never went out anymore expecting to save money but even then I had nothing ,that was 10 yrs ago its way worse now . I have totally given up on everything including love,friends,a house,garden,a dog,a cat,laughter,and a vacation but I don't even now what that is
Right on Tim. Most of the boomers are rich and have a scarce mentality yet they pass on the money or die rich ..you see them on cruises buying gifts for the grandkids but you never see them spending racks on themselves before they pass. Who would trade places with Warren buffet? he’s rich but he’s old! . It’s about realizing the gains,maximizing fulfillment , spending life energy appropriately
No you don’t need them, though they are the by-product of competition, which we do need in the manufacturing process. The houses, the cars, the money are simply signs of individual or corporate success. You could say we don’t need any of it… then what have you got!
@@simonrowe3124 Success is subjective, maybe you dont need this recognition of others to feel good about yourself (and it's never enough...), if you do need that, then you don't really own your life, and it's sad as this is the only one you've got, there is no second try...
I gotta keep grinding, I have been on this job for 8 months now. I am stacking crypto and silver, trying to have a little nest egg...and maybe get some passive income one day! But I also feed my soul! At 36, I just started playing the guitar! I've always wanted to do this! Life is good! ❤
I haven't worked in 8 months, its helped with my health by reducing stress significantly. I make youtube videos for a living now. And with my time off, I've also been learning home repairs. Didn't really have time for that before. So, I've got time for personal development now.
I do nothing. Jobs are nothing but bullying, boredom and stress.
Don't complain when migrants come to work in your country.
@@collinsmensah9380 I don't complain. I'm Generation X. We don't care about anything.

How are you getting food and a place to live though? Are you homeless and scavenging from dumpsters? Are you fishing for carp or eating squirrels?
@@Jake-mv7yo I own my property outright. i buy food in stores.
The only ambition I have at this point is to *keep.* *Myself.* *Alive.*
Not concerned with what anyone else is doing or chasing after. My health and mental/emotional peace are my *only* priority, above *all else.*
I sold my company ending my career and decided to catch up on 50 years of lost sleep….. I agree its all a bunch of bullshit
Yeah at some point the money you make off a business doesn't matter. Like you can't take it oo the grave
@@alexandru5369 And I think when you get older you just dont care about things like, I don't know, expensive cars. They don't matter.
Quit my job, and haven't regretted it since. I'll have to work again someday. But the 40+ hour workweek is a social injustice. I'm in no hurry to go back to the grind. Your time is the most precious commodity you have. Don't let them rob you of your best years.
Yes! We’re conditioned to think that our productivity determines our worth. Like being burnt out and depressed means we’re a valuable member of society. It’s so backwards. I couldn’t do it anymore. I donated all my stuff and quit work, now I just don’t buy anything and live a minimal life. Finally feel at peace for the first time. 😸
Inspiring ❤
So glad to hear you’ve found peace!
I would LOVE to quit my job. My elderly mother and I are talking about moving in together to save money. I want to pursue things that I love - writing, making a TH-cam channel, and being creative. I just want to be happy. I couldn't care less about having "things"
When I saw a brain surgeon quit his job and live in the mountains, instantly at that point I lost all hope in society. So there for I sit back and relax and let "america" aka Babylon fall.
How do you make money?
No, now there is hope.
It means something new can form out of this.
It will be hard at first, but the memories will be the things that we will see before our passing
I work for man who gets bonuses based on staff productivity so he’s been driving all of us into the ground for the last seven years. This week over half of our team quit and the other half are putting resumes together to escape the matrix. We’re absolutely exhausted.
Life is too short to be full of stress and anxiety all the time. Quotas, mandates, nonstop deadlines are robbing your precious time away. Do the necessary amount of work to get by, take those vacation days and be happy. Nobody gets out of this life alive✌🏼
good for you guys ! wishing you all luck it’s not worth it you only have one life to love
I also work in a machine shop with a Foreman that gets bonuses based on The output every quarter.
Just took 4 years off. Went back to the same job at only 2 days a week. I figured all this out in 1997
When I was younger in my twenties and 30s, I had to use headphones to run or walk. Now, when I go for a walk, I don't need any headphones . I just walk and process my thoughts and I try to remember why I should be thankful for the things I have now. I'm thankful that my knees still work too! Great video Tim!
Yes! Those headphoneless walks are great! They really help you to stay in the present moment!
I love being retired. I don’t miss working in the office with people I can’t stand.
You can't buy peace of mind. You also can't buy time.
Agreed! 👍🏾
Honestly, after my divorce, being a broke single mom was the best thing that ever happened. My kids are more grounded, not chasing the newest tech. I live on a hobby farm and work part time. No TV, no Internet except my phone, I can see the stars at night. Money just doesn't mean as much to me as it does other people, I have other riches that they can't see or understand
Such a Beautiful Way Too Look At Life....And a Prime Example Of The Glass Half... FULL 🤗🙏🏿🤗
Just talked to my parents about this matter. My sister is selling her 2 million house in California (1 mil mortgage). Her mansion, of 5 bathrooms and bedrooms, 3 living rooms 25 lamps, 5 couches. I always said to my sisters they both have the same house, while I was living in my big to me condo 1000sqft 1 bathroom, 1 living room hahaha 🤣 it was a simple life for us. Easy easy to clean up, cheap on electricity bill. I never had to climb the corporate ladder because I did NOT need to. I got to work from home for 7 years and 1 year in the office. I saved on daycare expenses because i worked while taking care of my child. Sold that condo, made 170k went to rent for a couple of years, a small 1 bedroom. We traveled, we relaxed, sure we worked but we didn’t work for the check, as we didn’t live paycheck to paycheck. Retired 2 years ago at 38 and cashed my condo. I have no ambition and been told that am going to get bored doing nothing. Lol 😅 if that is the case one day, then I go get a job, if I missed working and grinding. Eh? I haven’t felt bored😂 I do what I love every day, walking, hiking, skiing , biking (FREE), I am 41 now and never been fit like this. I have since traveled to Paris, Copenhagen, Umeå, next on the agenda is Thailand next month and Stockholm in the summer. I look forward to waking up everyday😊 I am here to enjoy my life and that’s that! If people wanna work themselves to the grave to just live in a mansion, and drive that Tesla/Mercedes Benz go ahead. But do know that they are working for those things and never home to enjoy their mansion which is ironic.
Love your approach to life. Enjoy Thailand, it's next on .y list too.
You forgot to mention the part about HOW TO retire at age 38😂😂

Jobs have a way of dehumanizing people, I have gotten laid off three times in the last 5 years, and every time I was unemployed, I felt human again because I didn’t have to wake up and go to some silly job. It’s just getting ridiculous to try and hold these jobs, when these jobs don’t really care about people. Stop calling people lazy if they don’t want to work. It’s we want to breath a little, enjoy our mornings for a change. Process our thoughts a little . And just not be stressed always because we are worrying about holding a job down
You make some great points. I think the strict routine of working goes against of true nature. Like you said, we naturally want to enjoy our mornings, relax, and take in life. Not wake up to an alarm clock every morning!
@ thanks man. And I enjoy what you have to say in your videos, you have good topics and ideas. Keep up the good work with your channel .
Talking about ambition reminded me of this verse: "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands...so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." 1 Thessalonians 4:11-12
Yep, the rat race never ends..
Bang on Tim..👍🏻
I totally agree with what you’re saying!
Been there, done that, I’m not ever going back to hustle culture again. Not worth it, and it’s okay to be single, too. Why do I need to fit into someone else’s unrealistic fairytale agenda and expectations? To thine own self be true!
I love uour podcasts!
Thank you! Stay blessed, my friend!
I've always been known to do nothing as a negative thing... Now people are trying to learn my ways
show us what we do not know auntie 😭🙏🏾
That's funny..I always see videos telling people to think like me and act like me but society despise and hate people like me because I'm nothing like them.
It's an art and we are students sitting at your feet
Oh wow...26 years for 6 months... that's an eye opener..also, the pressures of consumerism are wayyy too stressful. Great video!!!
I agree with you Tim, we work all our lives for material possessions and what really mattered all along was our time, not how much money we have. I strive to be like you Tim. Keep up the good vids.
All we need is JESUS.
I’ve only been employed 2 months out of the past 5 years. I never expected to make it this long, but I just do what makes me happy and somehow the money just sorts itself out! 🤷🏻♀️ I genuinely do spend most of my time playing video games and watching tv. I have no car and two roommates, but I live in a great area and it’s easy to walk or bus anywhere I need to go. And recently I got a foster cat (at no personal expense). Life is good. I’m learning that living can really just be about enjoying each day as it comes. 🥰
Love this comment!!!! Things do just kind of sort themselves out when you choose to live a simple life that prioritizes happiness, your passions, and your peace.
Do nothing and enjoy your life.
At 49 years old, I have recently transitioned from my six-figure sales position to pursue the goals outlined in this video. Thank you for your inspiring work, Tim. It is essential that people recognize that old traditional methods are often not effective. Wishing you continued success. ✌🏻
I set myself up in a way that I’m doing well. I only compete with past versions of myself and nobody else. 😊
The amount of people who make ugly comments about my lifestyle and or make assumptions only tells me that they’re unhappy & jealous. 😂
Thank you for making this video. You’re a breath of fresh air and keep me inspired 😊
I do this now: work for 5-6 months then take 1-6 months off. It takes me 2 weeks to transition but I love my lifestyle.
@@mariawatson4171 sweet! I can’t wait till I’m in the position to do so.
I developed the same method, I go through a few temp agencies when I need to go back to work. I just got tried trying to save up vacation time
Same here. I'm a travel therapist, so do 6 months work in the summer half, then go abroad for the winter half.. Rinse and repeat
@@baldeagle4710 I'm 38 years old and have been doing this since age 33. If you work in a contract based job, it's quite possible.
I'm with you on this!!! ❤
Im 42 single no kids never married. Saving $ to move too Thailand. Im sick of America system. Everything is about $ and controlling us. Wake up people.
i wish we could wake up. it feels like we put up with this system and some even want it
You a man are women.
Thailand is also about $
Is it hard to gain citizenship of said country before moving though?
@stanley..You should definitely try it! It’s a great life.
Timothy, I am a tiny channel, but you have inspired me SO MUCH!!!! For the past 2 years I have been saving and scheming on how to simplify my life to the MAX !!! And this year I finally gained some courage to start a channel and talk about it all
I’ve learned that I just need to ignore those who say I’m lazy for wanting a simple life. They are just not on your level of intelligence and have been super indoctrinated. You need to be on a certain level to think outside the box and if you are not on that level I just ignore them.
Every time I watch Shark Tank I watch it with pity. Not so much for those that are trying to start a business, but for the Sharks themselves. The Sharks seem to never have enough. Imagine constantly pursuing the next big investment, the next big company or profitable idea when you already have millions or billions. When do they actually get to enjoy their wealth? Most will say they are pursuing "freedom" but are they really free? Or are they just on a larger hamster wheel than the rest of us?
As the Buddhist monk Ajahn Chah to paraphrase indicate a lot of people live like animals (always more food, sex,, pleasures...etc)
Ever notice that none of these Hustle Gurus ever talk about the price of making more money if you're not in the Bezos class? Taxes. Like what is the point of the stress on your body only to give more to the government to waste.
💯
I grew up with parents who had low work ethic and were constantly complaining they had no money. Had zero discretionary income and when stuff broke around the house they couldn’t fix it and were house poor. Resulted in being in a 100F degree house without air conditioning in Las Vegas summer. There’s a price for sloth!
A lot of the same people are hustling right out of the country to evade or avoid that too
@@mistywol2383your not listening to what he's saying he's saying take care of yourself and your needs of course put up some savings then if you don't want to do anymore than that don't do it
The reason certain people make the negative comments on here is because they’ve realized they have to do things they don’t want to do for lousy money and they’re upset about it, plain and simple.
This is NOT TRUE, PEOPLE JUST WANNA BE FREE AND HAVE FUN!! 😊❤❤❤
or they are normal people without trustfund and will get homeless and frozen to death if doing nothing ... and never be hired again as recruiters instantly discard people with job gaps
Great video Tim. I likely mentioned that I'm taking some time off from working to care for my parents due to their health declining. I am getting ready to turn in my two week notice either this week or next week. From there, I will just focus on improving the health of my parents and then I will take month to travel and unwind from all of this before looking for more work.
In my opinion the key to making this a reality is to build your retirement into your life. What this means is secure a paid for home, install solar & batteries to have power until the end, install rainwater catchment, build a large garden, raise your own meat & eggs, super insulate your home so it uses 90% less energy to heat and cool etc. This way you need very little to retire. This is what im doing and its way easier than working 40+ hr weeks for 50 years.
The return on effort is gone also. Its nearly impossible to get ahead. Graduates from professional schools are not able to get jobs in their field. And they are buried in student loans.
I focus on fitness, and lifelong learning.
Let it rot.
There is an interesting parallel in China called "Tang ping" (lying flat). It was more prominent in 2021 during the Covid lockdowns. The message is the same as here: prioritize psychological health over economic materialism. Tang ping has been heavily censored, but in a place where 996 is a thing and people in their 20s are literally having heart attacks from overwork, it's badly needed.
I was thinking about the exact same thing! I've started my own version of lying flat. I started living out of my van back in September. Trying to live cheaply after going through a divorce last year. Going to stack my cash and retirement as much as I can these next several years.
@@brettfisher292 Nice! That's the way! I'm right behind ya. I'm still working on modding my van, but I've left the corporate grind to take a long sabbatical.
the quicker people drop out, the sooner real change will come.
Exactly!
Why do us humans measure our success using somebody else’s ruler?
Deep. The only ruler 📏 you should be measuring yourself with is Gods
Because a lot of people want the validation of others.
Good question!
People are sacrificing their health for work being overweight swollen feet and afraid to take off to use their health insurance smh 😮
I haven't worked in four months. Being semi retired since age 35 on a salary of only $40k. I'm not stressed about money, I have plenty in the bank to pay my bills. I took a three week vacation to Jamaica in September, thinking about taking a beach vacation to Florida next week to get away from the cold and snow. The key is to be a minimalist and dont have kids. People just gotta start making better life/financial choices, It's not that difficult.
For a lot of us guys we don't have to worry about having kids.
@mateaukalua4426 The two best decisions I've made in life were to not go to college and not having children. 👍
I love my kids very much, but I advise everyone not to have kids. It's not a question of liking kids or not. They're great! But let someone else have them. The world doesn't need more people, and you don't need the burden. The corporate world wants you to have more kids to feed their desire for cheap labor, nothing more. Don't be a slave, and don't create more slaves.
I figured up how many years I would need to work to retire comfortably. It was 217 years.
😂
That’s crazy!
Video was right on and perfect timing! I just quit my 9-5 of 1 year on new year's , of course I saved money in order to do it. But I feel great don't don't have to worry about waking up on time, dealing with a bunch of attitudes. Im taking a month or 2 off to catch up around the house and everything thing else I've been putting off over the last couple 2 yrs. I get back on the grind afterwards.
👌
Enjoy your freedom!!!
This is it right here. Im sure there was people like us who thought the same thing many years before us. The whole "theres gotta be more to life to than just working" 💯
Such a good point. If you have the means to travel, please do so. The earth is our playground why not enjoy it while you can.
I’m so exhausted of working. Waking up to the same routine everyday. It’s not fun at all.
Yeah...but money does make life easier...
Can't afford as much without it.
@ yeah that’s true. that’s what makes it suck even more.
I don’t mind because it keeps me busy. Yes I feel tired but having nothing to do and being outside of society is worse than
@@baldeagle4710That’s what keeps me going on. It’s like, you do need something to do everyday, might as well make money. I’ve quit jobs before just to be broke and bored. At least with work, you have some money and something to do. However, I just hate HAVING to do it and getting up when I don’t want to….better than being broke and bored though!
Some might call it slavery. More and more are waking up from the modern slavery. Work on yourself more than you work for someone else, - Jim Rohn.
We had a sitcom a few years ago here in the UK called People Just Do Nothing.
Car free for years! Yet, still, constantly interrogated over it. 'Why do you not have a car?' 'Why do you not want a car?' 'If you have a car - you can make enough money to have a car! Wouldn't that be better?!'
Car is one thing I will never give up. It is my freedom. Hate that it costs about 3-5k a year to run but it is what it is. Public transport isn't cheap either and I'd much rather be enjoying my own car and going when/where I want to at will.
@@bigchief2331my insurance is 1k a month. It’s not worth it.
Carfree is a vibe!!!
I'm literally doing what your recommending right now. And it feels great
ive always said i never work hard accept be a mother to my children....never had a career just jobs never worked at one place for more than 5 years I never really understood the concept of work somewhere for 30 years and then retire it just sound so dumb to me...i know I don't have much at 45 but I'm have my peace of mind and I'm not worn out by the grind culture. when you see people making 100k struggling I see no reason to make more money!
Well, I've been at my job for 30 years and counting. Why? It's not stressful and I get to retire from work altogether with full benefits in about a year! For me it has been worth it. I don't want a sabbatical, I want to quit work forever!
I never bought anything that brought me sustainable happiness.
Yes it is the answer. Do nothing for the machine and do only what you enjoy for yourself and your freinds and family. It was always the answer. No need to doubt yourself. You already knew the answer all along. Peace guys 😊
Yea, I make youtube content about escaping the rat race too!

@carolcielle There is no “right” to check out. No one consented or asked to be brought into this life where we are forced to work
As a culture, we've been moving away from envying our neighbor’s stuff to envying their peace.
And this is a good change.
We're also realizing that our time is not merely a raw commodity that has no value until we've sold it for money. We're realizing is the only thing we have of actual value.
There's a reason the capitalistic establishment has brainwashed us to feel like we're wasting our time to not use it to make more money. It's because they always win in the exchange. They're always making more off our time than we are. By a LONG shot.
There's no such thing as wasting your time when spending it on yourself.
In fact, we need to reclaim it from the idea we owe it to "them".
"Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless."
-Calvin & Hobbes
I lived most of my life this way. I never felt the working world, "moving up", ambition, etc was for me. It was bizarre to spend the whole day in an office, day after day, and never really be out in the sun or stand in the sunlight. So I didn't buy into it. I never cared for material things that much either. I still have "things" of course, but sometimes I walk around the stores and happily marvel at all the stuff I do not need or want (that will sadly all become trash one day- that is what I "see". Piles of shiny future trash). I spent my money on travel and my time experiencing this world. Now, however, in my 60s, I realize I never thought about saving money for the future. I figured I could always work. and always find a place to stay, food to eat. What I did not anticipate is that I am plumb tired of working at all. There are body aches and problems. However, I still need money, and for the first time in my life I am getting a little worried. Tim, I know you have mentioned saving/investing money. I would like to hear more about that. And/or how others have managed this, or are planning to.
My goal in future videos is to start addressing more ways to live low cost, earn money without a standard 9 to 5, and how to start investing for the future. I hope some of the content will be helpful to you, my friend!
Spent most of my life trying to make more and more money and it finally killed my soul. Decided to never ever be part of the corporate world ever again, and now I’m free. I make enough money to pay the bills and I’m good with that. No more bs is so awesome!
👍🏾
Timothy,
'YOU' 'TAKE' 'YOUR' Peace of 'YOUR' Mind.
Tks. much
I came across this concept called Radical Acceptance, it allowed me to come to terms with the fact that I simply don't have a passion to do something for a living. I'm still working a job I like, hopefully not for too much longer (I'm typing this at work with my boss sitting right behind me, hehe), but I'm done with trying to find a job I'm passionate about, and it's been extremely liberating.
A lot us still grinding away in middle age would have been better off working in the international hospitality or tourism industry in our 20s. That would have allowed us to travel on a budget and enjoy our youth. Instead, a lot of us started grinded and decades later, never found a way off the treadmill.
We just didn't know any better. I'm glad to see more and more 20 somethings not repeating our mistake. If the grind is inevitable, do not let them take away your best years.
Its a huge conversation, if you are paying rent going into retirement your in for a bad time is a simple example, no matter how many countries you visited in your 20's.
Only so many people can work in tourism if we're being honest. Every job market can only accommodate so many people.
If my 20s were my best years I'm doomed
When I worked in healthcare, I gave 100% to my patients and 0% to the bureaucracy. I had to fill in for the administrator one day, and I told all the higher-ups at a meeting that I think they only like to hear themselves talk. I was never asked to cover again.
90% of admin jobs are just bloat anyway, you could get rid of basically every administrator except the CMO and the heads of the AR, AP, & HIM departments, and the hospital I work at would function exactly the same while saving hundreds of thousands on admin incomes lol
@ amen! It’s why I avoided administration positions.
@@melvano4014And I was once considering a MHA degree

@@user-hn9qg5qm3o outstanding! I did over 30 years as an occupational therapist. They kept pushing me towards admin as a rehab director, and I always turned it down. Not worth the headache.
Amen friend. I will not wait another second chasing something I don’t need to enjoy my life RIGHT NOW! Live, enjoy, relax, do what you want to do because life is short and it’s no one else’s choice but yours what you want to do with it.
Tim you inspired me to follow my heart. I was afraid to leave the rat race but you have given me the confidence to forge my own path instead of following society.
Go for it!!!!
in China, young people have been doing this for some time, they call it "Tangping" or "Lying Flat Movement" as it is known there.
Don’t forget - each time you make more money the more you are taxed on those earnings ‼️ I took a pay cut over a year ago after working at Amazon over 4 yrs and holding a position within the BEN group within my region. Now I just clean full time making $3 less and working my side hustles plus building a few businesses. Less stress and I have more time to work on my own plans for life plus soon I can start traveling more again while I’m working to move out of the State where I live to a State where I used to live during my childhood. Big plans in place for 2025🎉🎊🎉😊
Good luck with your 2025 plans!
This man is a prophet!!!

Thank you! 🧡

Thank you 🙏🏻 To thine own Self be true
Tim, words of wisdom as always. Absolutely agree.
I voluntarily dissolved my successful business last year, after realizing I simply didnt enjoy my craft anymore. The state department thought I was an idiot for not selling the business for cash. I only had the energy to walk away. Now, Im still working, but I work a rotational job that gives me incredible work/life balance and much needed health benefits for some health issues I have. It's the closest I feel I can get to the stage you are at(comfy and not working a brain drain job).
I think a great way to describe this instead of an "occupational awakening" is more like "Tim is handing everyone some keys to those golden handcuffs that your hustle covertly slapped on ya."
Treat yourself, always.
Just my two cents. Much love from Alaska
Much love, my friend! 👍🏾
The news just reported that Zuck decided to "raise the bar" for his employees to prepare for an "intense year," thus he'll be laying off thousands of Meta employees. Bye Felicia! Those are the employers we need to be free from. They have more money that they and their families can spend in a lifetime, but they are going to squeeze their employees dry just the same, because a little more is always better for them.
I left a high pressure job in 2014 paying £45 ph, I was burned out so took 2 years off. 2016 I took a 3 day wk job in retail paying £7.50 ph, I was the happiest I'd been in years. I clocked in and out, then left the work behind. Sold my house last year and haven't worked since. I have no desire to go back to that life style. I'm content doing 'nothing' and agree with this message. It just feels like a scam at this point.
So glad to hear that you’ve found contentment! #blessed
How are you surviving without income?
I completely understand that mindset. After reading that Utah Congress members want to give people having children anywhere for $2800 to $5000 tax credits for each child. Where is that 'free and entitlement' money coming from? As someone who couldn't have children, I wonder why I even bother to work hard to try and achieve a nice life. They just take and take they blame me when I say no more. It stacked against you
Most men do stuff for 1 of 3 power,Money, or Women. When Yiur job fails to get You any of those things what’s the point. The only reason I haven’t given up yet is My Family more specifically my two little girls. If I didn’t have them I would’ve given up awhile ago.
I’ve been saying for years that if there were no women on the planet, men would do NOTHING, ever lol!
Grind doesn't make sense for the most ppl as we make insignificant amounts of money in today's economy

Your enthusiasm is infectious!!!
Yep! I like to try and say it along with him. It really gets me in the mood for the video.
@ I like to say it along with him, too 😂
We just have to figure out what we want to do in life and do it. Once you figure it out then your vision becomes clear and the path will open for you to get done and yes it will be work but it’s about sacrificing for what you want and then your life will become free.
New movement? Ive been living well below my means and working 20hr weeks since 1992 hahahaha. On top of that ive mostly only done things i enjoy earn funds. And being self employed all my life has allowed me to achieve one fo my main goals and thats to never have to use an alarm clock to wake up and to go to sleep and wake up when im tired and have gotten enough sleep.
Ive gotten lots of negative comments about it from friends and family but now days more and more of them have come to see the logic in my choice. If my family wasnt stupid we would all have pitched in to get an apartment building so we could all live close, help each other, share knowledge and most importantly live wel well below our means. Instead most of my family work to survive and get very little time to enjoy life.
Super proud of you! That’s what’s up! You know how to make like work WITHOUT vilifying or disparaging work. It’s definitely not a NEW movement.
The only thing that’s new is the whole culture of people disparaging and damning work yet convincing working people to fork over their WORK wages to them while they do nothing. THAT is relatively new…and mind-boggling, if you ask me. But I doubt if it will last. People are already waking up to the game.
@carolcielle Yeah i rehab houses right not as im saving up for two major projects to build so i can retire enjoying life to the fullest and i run into allot of people that try to get me to give them my time and skills for free.
To me if someone wants anything from me for free thats basically asking me to give them some of my precious life so they can have more of their life for themselves. Im not having it hahahaha.
@ElectronicMusicUnderground wow, you rehab property, and your family didn't jump on it? Good for you, sad for them!
Asians do this. They buy a house and they live together. That's one of the best ways to get ahead. The rest of us prefer to do things the hard way.
@jumbothompson Not just asians. I grew up in Seattle and most people fresh off the boat did it to thrive but american culture teaches us to compete with family so we all stay broke and miserable haha
One of my favorite quotes ever is from Calvin and Hobbes by Bill Watterson. Calvin says: "There's never enough time to do all the nothing you want".

I remember the first financial guru I watched. Susie Olmen was yelling at the tv saying not to have a family unless you had 500k in the retirement fund. Found out how much a hypocrite this woman was. People always telling you to do this or that. F them you do you and have a good life.
Exactly she's the worst of the worst I saw a documentary on her life what a charlatan people calling in asking her suzue can I buy this? & she hollers out DENIED that Dave Ramsey he's another one don't get me started😂
Indeed🎉🎉🎉🎉😮
Boredom and need of purpose are innate needs that need to be "solved" regardless if you're in the 9 to 5 or not. You won't escape those "problems" wherever you go.
True you can only sit at the beach,eat,movies whatever before it gets old
But I do agree atleast a day a WK is good to do basically nothing productive and it's God to take a vacation 2 or 3 times a yr
Good talk. Thanks, Tim.
A lot of families don't have money to buy ANYTHING after their bills are paid. Everything is cooked. And people have had enough.
What are wealth of good information, keep up the great work man. Truth
Ha ha ha, Tim! Well done for getting to that conclusion, the one with the time off! Yes, 6 months off equals 26 years of work. That's what I say to people: look at your life with a 9 to 5: if you somehow manage to get 10 days off in a row (rare occasion, but feasible), you will obtain 10 x 50 years = 500 days off throughout your employment years. And this is IF you manage to maintain constant employment from age 18 to 68!!!! For most people, you get less than a year of days off, by this math. Sooo.... they need to really think about it, imo. Is it worth it?
I remember about 10 yrs ago I was working every single day quit smoking and drinking and never went out anymore expecting to save money but even then I had nothing ,that was 10 yrs ago its way worse now . I have totally given up on everything including love,friends,a house,garden,a dog,a cat,laughter,and a vacation but I don't even now what that is
They need to change the work laws. Vacation time, sick days etc. We the people deserve it.
We are not slaves !! It's coming to that point now.
Right on Tim. Most of the boomers are rich and have a scarce mentality yet they pass on the money or die rich ..you see them on cruises buying gifts for the grandkids but you never see them spending racks on themselves before they pass. Who would trade places with Warren buffet? he’s rich but he’s old! . It’s about realizing the gains,maximizing fulfillment , spending life energy appropriately
I mentally retired in the 90’s- I’m just waiting for the pension to catch up.
😂😂

No you don’t need them, though they are the by-product of competition, which we do need in the manufacturing process. The houses, the cars, the money are simply signs of individual or corporate success. You could say we don’t need any of it… then what have you got!

@@simonrowe3124 Success is subjective, maybe you dont need this recognition of others to feel good about yourself (and it's never enough...), if you do need that, then you don't really own your life, and it's sad as this is the only one you've got, there is no second try...
I love the thoughts in this video! Thanks!

But I also feed my soul! At 36, I just started playing the guitar! I've always wanted to do this! Life is good! ❤
Life is good!
I haven't worked in 8 months, its helped with my health by reducing stress significantly. I make youtube videos for a living now. And with my time off, I've also been learning home repairs. Didn't really have time for that before. So, I've got time for personal development now.
Personal development is a blessing!
