It’s such a shame, someone is genuinely asking how to escape 9-5: View: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/g9un5u/people_who_have_escaped_the_purgatory_of_the_95/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf


Here is a sample of some of the answers:
  • Work two 16 hour days per week
  • Work nights and weekends for years so that 9-5 is enjoyable
  • Work 7-5 four days per week so you can have a three day weekend
  • Work 6-6:30 3 days per week
  • Work 7-3 instead of 9-5
  • Go back to college
  • Become a travelling musician
  • Find a job you love
  • Marry a doctor so you can stay at home with the kids
  • Make art and hope for good fortunes
  • Quoted directly: “Worked several s*** jobs for 30 years. Lived frugally. Obsessively saved. Done without a lot of things. Then got sick, got laid off, can't work anymore. Living off savings until I die... hopefully before my savings runs out.”
  • Get fired
  • Work from home
