What are your thoughts about having a normal job? Working like everybody else does ,earn some money and having a normal life and that's it. It means you have to get up, go to work, have some free time, go to bed, get up again and do the same things all over again.. Do you like having a normal job and having a normal life? What would you want to do if you could do everything you ever wanted?

Huh! quite boaring sometimes to do routinary activities. I go to work from mondays to saturdays. I feel bad about it because i can no longer do the same things like going on a pcnic, mountain climbing, biking, swiming, jogging in a park, shopping longer and marathon watching etch... I missed them a lot. Gone are the days when i was still a happy go lucky student depending from my allowance. But that is part of it, you have to grow to learn new cycle of life.

Exactly, jobs suck up your valuable time. Time you could be spending on things you like, instead of working hard.. I think you have to learn indeed, everything you learn is a good thing.. I hope you can get out of the rat race and start learning how the world of finances can get you making money for you.. I also think this about work, it is boring, sucks up time, only helps you pay enough to live comfortable, it will certainly not make you rich..

first thing don't you just hate spam lol,
now onto the question my thoughts about having a normal job its a nightmare lol,
I have worked for people when I left school and have also worked for myself for 10 years.
Personally I would never work for a company and have set times to go to work ever again.
Reasons being
A) you get up and go to work by the time you finish most of the day is gone.
B) You work your fingers to the bone and somebody gets rich from your hard work while you earn a tiny percentage.
C) If you work during the day and have kids you have no work life balance as you miss seeing your kids grow up you might see them for an hour on a night and weekends.
I much prefer to be my own boss so I can work when I want to work, see my kids grow up and work to live not live to work.
Though I can understand people doing a normal job as its a guaranteed income but I would much prefer to be in complete control of my own wage.

lol, yeah guess those spammer don't want to work having a normal job neither.. ;p I agree with you on all points, I am in control of my time now, and basically do what I want, when I want to do it.. Time is a valuable thing, everybody has time, and you can be in control of your time if you want to, but it is hard having a normal job..
A; get up and go to work while wasting those days.. Just only think about all those things you could have done when you just had a day off.. People are usually very happy with a day off and I can imagine.. I just don't want to be like them and be happy with a day off..I want everyday to be a day off
B; Working your fingers to the bone and somebody gets rich of your hard work.. Indeed, it would be better if you were that person who got rich letting other people work for you
C;Missing seeing your kids grow up.. I think not only that, but also less time for things you would really want to do, hobbies that you would have no time for otherwise, making trips or just doing what you want..but you can't because your stuck at work..
Most people don't want to learn about finances, it scares them off.. but I think it is the clever thing to do because you could save and earn some money with this.. instead of going the easy way and just work hard for money..

For the past 5 months I have been waking up just an hour early compared to everybody else. So far I feel like a normal job makes me bored. I get bored easily when I do the same thing over and over again. I was doing it for a few months and got so tired of it. Here I am about to start on a new job and so far I am excited on how to get to the place and back.
If I can do everything I wanted, I would start travelling to different places. I would like to see the world and experience different foods and explore places I have not seen before.
