Wages That Don’t Pay Rent

Source

In fact, if you are working over 40 hours a week to afford a roof over your head, and London housing is notoriously substandard, this is a piss take. I find no other words for it. Matter of fact, you should actually work less than that.

And I know this is easier said than done because you are paid by the hour and if job is only source of income it sucks ass. But still, there are movements that promote working less. Ever heard about FIRE? Financial Independence Retire Early? Lot of the work out there is a monotonous, soul crushing routine. Work sucks! And that’s why you should strive to work less. And there is nothing wrong with asking the state for money. Especially if your income is not providing you with life necessities.

Why Work?

This argument is an expanded “No pussy, no work”…

Today you work only to put food on your table. Note that the food gets ever more expensive and your wages ain’t rising with the inflation. If you are working to pay rent and eat slop, this is a step better from being a slave.

You need college but you get high school level money…

The conclusion my friends is, if you can avoid going to work, don’t go to work. Also, consider working to avoid working later. I know it may sound easier said than done, and by far not everyone could do it but work sucks, employers suck. Ultimately, even the coolest job in the area will suck in many ways.

I am actually not planning to return to full time work when my contract ends next year. Besides, the state taxes your asses to oblivion. You have income tax, value added tax, capital gains tax, property tax, council tax, road tax. In some places you have mandated insurance payments such as car insurance, medical insurance, social security payments, and tv license. And I shouldn’t forget inheritance taxes. Taxes kill your incentive to build wealth and family.
