Why job consumes most of people life?
We live in failure system which has been organized for a reason to make people live for their job and to pay for governtment, politicians, and od course for false retirement. That system since the beginning teaches people from an early age how to be a good citizen who pays high taxes and who DO NOT stand out from imposed scheme. Did you ever consider why we have to live in such system or maybe what can we do with it?

People run for their career and try to get "good, honest job". Words in quotation marks are not used randomly. For generations parents repeat to their children that good man is a kind od conscious man and citizen who has got honest and good work.... Could you explain why spending 40 hours per week at work and 160 hours per month is named a good and honest work??? We pay huge taxes only for a reason of being hired. Our government steal from 18% up to 32 % of our salary (depends on country tax politics) regardless to the fact that we spend in average 1/3 our lifetime at work. Lets do some maths.
8 hours / day =work time
1 day = 24 hours
sleeping = from 7 up to 9 hours (average 8 hours)
24 - (8 work + 8 sleep) = 8 hours
8 hours -rest of time for us (without counting time wasted in way to or from work, stress, unhealthy lifestyle, energy waste)
Imposed scheme
Little child since the first class at school is taught how to find a good and honest job and how to work for government and pay for politicians whims. In highschool or on university we are studying completely useless things and only theory. School program doesn't teach how to cook, make own business, create a company, pay lower taxes, fix the car or etc... The reason is simple - it is not profitable for our governments and politicians. Whole system accepts only "good citizens" who politely pay their taxes and give back their money for whom they were working for hundrets of hours. The system punishes every single man who stand out from a scheme.

Countries are acting like they care for their citizens - but it is only a slogan. At war government sends their citizens to fight for country while authorities escape and run far away to other country and watch the death from bunkers. Key to stand exit from this failure system is to be conscious. So everything comes up to our minds. Ask yourself - do you want to live like that?
If answer is yes and you are used to work for 40hours per week and you believe in an idea that your country cares about you, even if your retirement after 25 years of working is close to 0 - stop complaining. Pay politely your taxes and remember to get to work every day.
If the answer is no, it is the time to change work and to think what are your advantages, what makes you happy, create own business and of course stop looking at others! I have experienced it on my own example, that there is so many valuable people whom we can learn a lot more than at school. They never say that something is impossible! Everything is contained in our minds and instead of any excuses (mortgage, hard work, no time...) the hardest battle starts in our head.
After that, it will be easier.
