...you don't want to work 8 hour days for the rest of your life, but you still need to make money to live. No, I will not resort to selling myself, or just being a bum on the street panhandling, nor will I use someone for moneys sake. I know...

A business takes more time if you're going to make it successful.

Finding something you love to do is the key because then it doesn't feel like work.

Self-employment, freelancing, something to do with the gig economy maybe? What'd you major in?

Buy a RV , drive around North America (assuming you reside here) work odd jobs for food and fuel and live the life of the road. Think Mad Max in moderation among the cities and towns of the modern western world.

You need to find things you’re passionate about and set up your day accordingly with stuff you enjoy. Also plan your vacations accordingly.

I don't think many people do, but unless you win the lottery or inherit a lot of money this is life.

@iamnikki I have heard of simple people inventing something that made them one million $$$ in one year... the fold-up cardboard windshield thing for cars did that.

@cherokeepatti really? I don't even know where you'd start with inventing. I saw a flyer at school for a seminar on how to start a business. I thought about going but didn't want to pay the $25. Also didn't want them asking me " so what business do you want" and "why are you here today".

I got into sales at a early age and made a lot of money,(outside sales). You can generally work your own hours as a commissioned sales rep and still make good money.

Well if you think about it 8 hours isn’t all that much. Some people work 12 hour shifts everyday. 8 hours is only a third of your day. I can’t really help you though you’ll have to figure something out.

@MURD3RM0NK3Y Yep, I've worked 12 hour days before, and it was terrible. Some times we had to work mandatory over time. Then I sat in traffic on the way home, whether I took the freeway or backroads. Took an hour or more to get home. And I was in school then. I was thinking about this experience the other day and it was one of the most miserable times of my life.

Work to live. Don't live to work.

If there's something non-traditional that works for you, go for it!

@hlpflwthat I know, but once you get off from an 8 hour day, you're tired, stiff and want to go home😭. What do/did you do for a living? I'm open to PM
