The older that I get, the more that i realize how bullshit working 9-5 is. It's a scam.
We're so busy trying to get to work every day and pay the bills that we don't have time to live. I have 50 things to fix around the house but time for very few of them. Every week is geared towards going to work, getting home, get the kids to bed and then sit for an hour before bed. Then you have the weekend and just enough time for some family activities, get set up for the coming week and repeat all over again.
It's bullshit. Anything that you earn gets split in half with the government taking your hard earned money and pissing it up against the wall on your behalf while making a nice comfortable life for themselves.
Money makes more money.
Anybody with a brain in their head can make money if they have a big enough bankroll.
Getting that extra money is the hardest part as most of us live week to week and building up enough funds to buy property or invest on a large scale is not easy.
If I could get to 1M euros then i could retire comfortably for the rest of my life. Not that 1M is a lot of money but if you can get 10% returns on it then you have 50K to live comfortably and 50K to keep building up the bankroll and keep ahead of inflation.
At that stage anything that you can earn on top is just bonus money.
Crypto is the big hope for a lot of us. There are very few opportunities in life to earn a million from nothing without a lot of hard work, timing and luck.
Some people have managed it through social media but it's a saturated market and hard to hit the earning bracket. It must be a fraction of a fraction of people online that are actually making a living off of socials.
Maybe we get rich through Hive but unlikely. Even if we get a 10x most of us don't have enough to set us for life. I wouldn't say no to $10 but we're along way from there yet.
That means I need to set up multiple streams of income. It's always been the long term game but finding the time and inspiration to get them off the ground is a battle in itself.
For now I'll keep stacking Hive and other crypto's.
Try to build up a good portfolio.
Stake them for returns.
Try to avoid the scams and pitfalls of crypto.
Work towards increasing my returns every month until I can automate a lot of it and then try to build something in real life. It's risky keeping everything in crypto as we have seen how fast the sentiment changes depending on governments.
While it has the best returns by far, it also poses the biggest risk in terms of fast crashes.
Oh well.
Another day another few tokens.
