If your working a dead end labor job with no shot of advancing yeah… don’t kill yaself for minimal rewards.


If your young with no responsibilities like a family, fresh outta undergrad and landed a job at big tech/finance/law/healthcare/ect., with PLENTY and opportunity to advance and with advancement comes a 2-3x of your current salary…. Yeah bust ya ass.


So It really all depends on ya situation and what you really want in life.

But also, I have no idea where the whole “start ya own business” came from, where the rewards arnt certain, the work is 100x harder and longer, and your typically liable for any sort of cash used to start it up. I remember seeing something along the lines of 90+% of small business fail in the first 4 years.

This is advice is good for men they work hourly jobs especially if you don’t have other shyt going on in life.
Nah…its more for everyone but the brothas working in tech and remote can likely benefit the most.

A few homies who work 40-45 hours in their corporate gigs who are base-salaried around $110k-125k(still take on smaller project/consulting gigs outside their main OR I know a few working 2 full time remote jobs at the same time).

A lot of tech work isn’t truly 40 hours of work. I used to work 50-60 hour weeks in tech constantly but found similar work with the same base but less bonus. Nowadays work 10 to 15 hours of “real work” per week. I’m considering picking up an additional remote part time job that’s related to the applications I specialize in.

The responses in this thread are yet another confirmation that many of the people on this site lie about their lifestyle and aint really living to their potential.

Most people want to be mediocre. If you want to be mediocre then work 40 hours a week, it's okay.

But if you want to be special, different, above average and have access to the things being above average gets you then you have to be working more than 40 hours a week. Very Very few people can work only 40 hours a week and reach 6 let alone 7 figures. I dont know a single legit entrepreneur that only works 40 hours a week. That shxt is for people that punch a clock.

I work 70+ hours a week but only spend about 45 hours on my 9-5, the other 25+ is spent on growing businesses I've invested in. That 60+ hours a week should be diversified so that you can have multiple revenue streams.


Facts!!!! You do the work on the front-end; the back-end should get easier. Been fortunate as I progressed through my career I can earn more on a base-salary level while working less “real-time” hours. Which I can leverage my skillsets and extra time to pickup side projects/part time/full time job w/the help of an assistant

Why work 60+ hours when society is likely to collapse in 10 - 20 years?

I hate how much we've rendered ourselves to become capitalist bootlickers and puppets. We should be trying to tear down this system.

sounds like lazy or no having ambition talk

If you’re one jump on give you more than 40 hours a week get a side job that will pay you part time.

The comments in this thread is alarming

No wonder the Black Community lacks so much Economic Power. There needs to be a huge mindset shift

people be doing the least but want the most.

i had a breh detailer that i gave a shot and chose over the more qualified dudes, nikka would be showing up late, taking long lunches, even after i criticized him this nikka told me not even his dad can talk to him like that and quit to go work walmart :gucci:


i was paying the breh NICE but he didnt see it that way :unimpressed:

what he's saying in the video you just posted still supports social democracy :laff:

Social democracy - Wikipedia

Social democracy is a political, social, and economic philosophy within socialism[1] that supports political and economic democracy.[2] As a policy regime, it is described by academics as advocating economic and social interventions to promote social justice within the framework of a liberal-democratic polity and a capitalist-oriented mixed economy.[3] The protocols and norms used to accomplish this involve a commitment to representative and participatory democracy, measures for income redistribution, regulation of the economy in the general interest, and social welfare provisions.[4]
you can own businesses and still be for workers rights and be against exploitation :dead:
