Working a 9-5 is EXPENSIVE!

Transcript

Working a 9-5 is expensive. And I'm going to tell you why. And I'm not even saying you need to quit your job tomorrow. I'm literally saying to wake up and to spend eight hours doing something that you don't actually want to do, just to pay your bills. Do you know how much time is being lost? And how much of that time could be allocated towards something that you're actually passionate about and something that will give you a much bigger return on investment? Every single day you decide to stay at your job for a prolonged period of time and wait on a so-called retirement fund, you are losing money. You are potentially losing thousands, if not millions of dollars by staying at your job. So no, I am not going to support your 9-5 lifestyle, especially if it's not something that you're actually passionate about, because you are literally leaving money on the table when you could have full autonomy and freedom in your life.
