Hello frens,

I'm just wondering what sort of ambitious goals or plans to escape the wage cuckery that you are living in? For me, im just trying to get as educated as I can but there is just so much that is hard to choose from in the realm of business. It looks like housing prices are going down and we might be looming into a recession in the US. Maybe it there would be a chance to get an affordable duplex and rent out the other unit monkahhm

Also, I was on /biz/ (ya I know) and anons were arguing about SIGA again that the monkeypox is gonna boost their stock price like it did with moderna and pfizer. I could put in a few dollars and test my luck with that.

Oh well, What goals do you guys have for the future?

The cheap way out would be to be placed into solitary confinement.

I'm a software engineer and have my own small business. I am not anyone's little bitch, nor am I a useless piece of shit trying to conjure money out of nowhere like /biz/ scumbags. It's the best of all worlds.

Ah yes, the looming recession. The looming recession after the last looming recession which was preceded by another recession. You know every decade starting just before I was born there has been some kind of recession in the US? It's like clockwork. :lainDissatisfied: Anyway, my plan is to write hundreds of breathless explainers to help Boomers understand how Millennials have caused every socioeconomic issue since 1970.

I got a special contract which guarantees lifelong employment and they can't really fire me unless I do something incredibly bad like committing crimes but just performing bad wouldn't be a legally valid reason to fire me.
The economy also isn't a factor since basically everything is paid for in tax dollars so before the German state crashes, any "self employed" person would've been homeless for a few years already if the economy was that bad.
It's probably the most secure contract you can get in this country, probably top ranking in the world so I'd be a fool to throw it away and the last ~5 years and upcoming events already showed me that it's smart to hold onto it.
The pay isn't phenomenal but I gladly trade that for never ever having to worry about my finances eber again.

If you don't mind me asking, what do you do?

Meanwhile my country is a piece of shit when it comes to wages, like a young person expecting to live 800 euros per month while the rents are expensive and pay a lot of taxes for no reason. Only appealing to tourists and rich people.
when i read your post thought "damn, must be another turk on roads".

and you don't think sitting in solitary confinement will deny you all creativity? Isn't the point of escaping wage cuckery to be more free?
Admittedly I was completely plastered when I made this post, you're right that such a situation would surely get old after a while without the ability to do much of anything. But to an extent just being able to have complete ownership/control over my mind/thoughts, albeit stuck in a bare basic room, in theory doesn't sound bad. They'll give me my meals, I have a guaranteed home, and I don't have to deal with social interactions, all for free.

Having both work and the need to make money/survive occupy my headspace for such long periods of time throughout the day feels like mental slavery, it's something I'm sure we all wish we could break away from. Unfortunately I'm not descended from a Rothschild or some other globalist banker so my attempts at being an artist aren't going to get me anywhere.

Become an e-clown for attention, then make a legitimately useful app with a monthly subscription. Shill it to my viewers for money. Well, not quite XD.

There's a 2008 essay called "1,000 true fans", that basically rationalizes that if you put yourself online and gain the respect and interest of 1,000 people, you're set for life. Say you have a service or a series of products that generate 10USD per customer, per month. With 1,000 true fans of your work, basically near perpetual customers, that's 10k a month.

(Easier said than done, right?)

In any case I have no interest in scamming people or being a lamboman kind of guy. My plan is to make the Japanese learning app that I wished I had when I started out studying the language 3 or so years ago, and livestream the process of me learning about drawing and visual design and the development of the thing itself. I want to make something legitimately useful, with maximalist design, that isn't scammy or soulless. Its my way of conciliating my needs to both make something artistic and to make money.

As soon as I finish the project I'm working on right now, that's what I'm gonna do.

I have plans in mind but I don't see myself ever truly escaping wagecuck dependency anytime soon. The most feasible goal at this point is to finish my schooling and find a self sustaining "be my own boss" sort of job related to my field that will give me personal fulfillment while I work on creative pursuits on the side and also some community based commitments as well. Ultimately, I want to huff on the least toxic copium as possible.
 
I'm actually considering going into wage cuckery. Been doing my own thing, struggling to get by on my own terms for 10 years now. Just kicking ass for the man and getting paid sounds nice. Who new vaporcountry didn't pay?

I have embraced wage slavery but put in the bare minimum with little oversight. I no longer try to improve anything because over a decade of being ignored at various jobs and watching my suggestions eventually be implemented haphazardly later by other people. I live far below my means seeking joy in simple physical pleasures. In an attempt to harness my sex obsessed brain I make and sell all kinds of smut and sell related merchandise on various print on demand sites. My best selling product is basically a digital merkin for vroid models / vtubers that makes me 10s of dollars each month. Only been working at this for a bout a year though. Slow and steady. Every bit i dont spend is invested in a roth IRA, or work 401k in index funds. With that, social security, and hopefully inheritance, i may be lucky enough to retire a little early in my 50s and scrape by until death.

i'm totes fine with my wagie job. i'm not micromanaged, i can pretty much do whatever i feel is worth doing, i work in a decent sector and i get paid well.

it would be extremely hard to replicate all of this either contracting or going into business for myself.
