I'm having a bit of an existential crisis, fitbros. I work

Well you've taken the first step I guess in becoming aware of your situation.

What do you dream about when you let your mind wander?

>>41860748
This is the worst part – I dream of comfortable mediocrity.

I dream of earning $50 000 a year working 40 hours a week, of living in a $200 000 home in a quiet neighbourhood, of driving a 10 year old car that gets good gas mileage. I think I might honestly just be boring, which is terrifying.

>>41860782

If that is what you want that is what you want man.

Maybe you lack purpose?

>>41860726
Change job, the amount of work hours would kill me.

>>41861943
Lol.what? Are you 16? I work 80 hours a week just so I can have spending money. 60 hrs a week just covers bills etc

>>41861972
Stop living in San francisco

>>41861972
Stop living an extravagant lifestyle that you can't afford.

>>41861984
I live in tweed ontario canada,60 hours of work gives me just over 600 dollars after taxes

>>41861998
I don't live extravagant I don't even have a car

>>41861972
I work 40 a week and that's a good amount for, can work out and still got some free time. Out of curiosity, where do you live?

>>41862001
Instead of working 80 hours a week, maybe you should have spent 10 hours a month on your education?

>>41862037
I'm not smart enough for school

>>41860726
>Twice a month my girlfriend who goes to school out of province will come over for the weekend.
Stop.

>>41860726
You should be saving up loads of money with that right? Start dollar cost averaging in some etfs and retire in 10 years.

>>41862052
You are a human being - you are smart enough for school.
It has nothing to do with intelligence at all, it's simply a time investment like everything else.

>>41861972
Lol fucking ameriblubbers.

I work 80 hours too but that's because I'm aiming to get rich. Could dustain myself with perhaps 15 hours of work per week.

>>41861972
Stop working a shit low wage job

>>41862163
He cucked himself for life by not wanting to study.

save money stop spendings on fancy shit
pick an online course, youtube howtoos for coding. start learning on your own. start looking for new jobs in it and make double the money in half the time

Maybe what you desire is stability, how do you feel about your mother?

Break out of the cycle. If you're Jewish you can move to Israel and join the idf

Yeah, getting stabbed is usually a great way to break out of a cycle.

>>41860726

yeah I get into this mode 2-3x a year.

for be its this.

I'm not sure where you live but goto a local bar / club and challenge yourself to really improve your social life.

there is LOTS of videos on how to pickup girls and you can learn that.

right now thats what I'm doing. going out everynight and learning to introduce myself to women and meet new people.

its fun. then I get a bunch of dates. fuck a bunch of girls.

its fun man.

just say what ever and give it a shot. its fucking challenging and fun as fuck.

>>41860726
>being such a normie brainlet he can only think about work and gym

>>41862257

Are you retarded?

>>41862001
I live 80 minutes away, I'll do you a favour and come kill you

>>41860782
>I think I might honestly just be boring, which is terrifying.

Everyone is boring

>>41860726
Go back to school, push yourself towards a career that makes you happy

>>41863794
>tfw absolutely no discipline and concentration for mental tasks that don't interest me
>can't study

Biggest failure of the family

>>41860726
Maybe it's because you have never experienced true hardship and struggles in your life to appreciate what you are having.

I am from a third world country and my income is only $12/ day for 10 hours. And I dont have any job stability at all. I would love to have what you are having now.

I have some relatives in the US who are happy to work 14 hours a day for minimum wage.

>>41861972
enjoy dying at 50

>>41864161
Ukraine?

>>41862001
Come to Alberta, turn that 80 hours a week into $8k a month on a drilling rig

>>41862191
Not him, but I also want a stable boring life more than anything and I despise my mother.

>>41864078
I can relate

>be young kid
>obviously very smart
>get told by everyone that I will do great things, be successful etc
>see gleam of pride in fathers eyes as I get top grades in everything
>finish Swedish equivalent of highschool
>go on to work at dead end job for 6 years and counting now
>never had a girlfriend
>never used any of my talent
>father still supports me unconditionally and I feel like such a shit for letting him down and not using all the chances he never had

Read "Rivethead" and realise that by working in a factory you are literally company property, nothing more than a machine used to increase production. You're already well on your way to understanding that.

Then make a change.

Or

Stop whining and just put up with it.

>>41863788
I'm not, I have lively and complex inner workings, it's just that people can't relate because they are so limited in the profundity of their intellect.

>>41860782
im exactly like this. i jist want the ability to dance and relax when i want. my dad used to almost punch me when id tell him this. fuck

>>41860782
Me too.

This

Honestly, 60 hour weeks is your problem. Throw a generous gym time onto that and there's no way you're going to have the time or energy to do constructive stuff outside of work. Working harder at work, unless you plan to move up in the company, is not working on improving your wealth. Unless it is the career you want to make you as comfortable as you want to be, consider it a means to an end. A way of supporting yourself. In the mean time, learn things, go to school if you want, figure out how to work an easier job for less time for more money/time. Easier also means more fun, I'm not saying don't challenge yourself, I'm just saying find something that you enjoy enough to usually look forward to going to work.

>>41864407
I feel like that "oh you are so smart argument" is just useless though.

Being smarter is absolutely useless if it doesn't come with a great deal of ambition.
Everyone in my family is self driven by an underlying motivation to achieve something in the business world.
That is worth so much more than "being so intelligent!!":

>>41860782
What's wrong with that?

Start planning what you can do to achieve that goal. Probrably starting with earning more so you don't need to work over 40hours.

>>41862174
How the fuck do you earn $35,000 on 18 hours a week of work?

>>41866768
It absolutely is. I have a friend who is not very smart but with unlimited energy and ambition.

He makes loads of money already at 24 and will be very successful no doubt.
