I dont really feel like these are the only options, though. Why can't you look for another job you'd enjoy more while still working at the job you hate?

[–] Sc00ter@lemmy.fmhy.ml 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My situation is i won't be able to make nearly the same amount of money within 1000 miles of where I live. Granted, I wouldn't use the word "hate" for my job, but it definitely should be better than it is.

And yes, I could move, but that would mean my wife wouldn't be able to work until she gets licensed where ever we move and my extended family is all here. Don't want to take my kids away from their cousins and grandparents

Thats a fair point!

The meme's message is not incompatible with your suggestion.

[–] blunderworld@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well, the message as I interpreted it is that you either have to:

a) keep working at the job you hate, or b) experience homelessness

What am I missing? Granted, I slept very badly so its entirely possible that I may have morning dumb dumb brain.

No no, you have a great point, it's just that there are various circumstances that don't allow many people to do what you described in an easy way.

Or work 3 days a week and learn how to live happily on a low income. It's easy outside of major cities

[–] argv_minus_one 1 points 1 year ago

That would require there to be available jobs. If there were available jobs, there wouldn't be homeless people everywhere.
