No more 9 to 5?

[ghrue84]

Hey um I have $46 in my bank account. Any suggestions on how to multiply it? At least by 2 or 3. By 1000 would be great too. By 369999 too. This is not a joke. Pl0x h3lp. I don't wanna work another 9 to 5 I'm done with that sheet.

Also I have some "healing" crystals that I'm willing to sell where can I sell those easily?

I just wanna work with nature already but I'm currently injured and recovering from a pitbull bite or two to the hand and wrist. It's very frustrating just taking therapy and coming home and not being able to do a single push up. I wanna do at least 100 pushups already.

I quit my job because a lying "friend" told me to quit it so we could go get a farm and grow food and mushrooms and since it was what I wanted to do I got fooled and at first we actually went to see farms to get one but after seeing a few farms we hadn't found one that was satisfactory to him except one he couldn't afford and that was the one he was insisting on. He had said not to worry about the money because he's rich (and he is, he's shown me in an ATM how much he has/had) and that he would help me and I asked him if he was sure and he kept saying yes but then after a few months of searching for a farm he disappeared for weeks at a time leaving me without money to eat. He would appear eventually and give me $500 cash, $1000 cash and instead of saving it I spent it on food and giving free psychedelics like cubensis and freebase dmt to people. He began disappearing for longer and longer times and keeping his phone off all the time and stopped giving me money and helping me without any explanation and I don't wanna return to another 9 to 5 or go through the process of interviewing and all that crap.

I'd love to be growing mycellium right now but I can't because I still live with parents and you know how that is. I'd love to get the hell outta here and move out but I'm impatient and this injury is taking some time to heal it's been 3 months already and it still hurts it's my main hand so please give me the best advice you can to help me get out of here and start growing plants and fungi for a living.

I do write a lot and I think I could potentially sell a book but it currently hurts to type and thus I have 17 notebooks of information to pass to the computer that I can't currently. Anybody need a translator I speak spanish and english about equally well.

Hey, ghrue84. I'm sorry to hear about your injury, I hope you recover quickly.

If there was a way to simply multiple our monies, I know we would all be doing it. Unfortunately, I don't think you'll easily find someone who knows how to make money in the blink of an eye. Those people are rare, man.

I'm pretty sure no one is going to condone you selling your healing crystals and or at least they won't tell you where to sell them. If you've been giving them to people, why don't you look to these people first?

I'm not sure if we can give you the advice you seek. The 9-5 is a grind for sure, not everyone wants to partake in such a thing, but a lot of us here do, and a lot of us here don't sell. Your "friend" sounds nice enough to give you free money, what were you doing in return? Were you being a good friend back? If he randomly became shady and distant for no reason, that's unfortunate, sometimes people are like that. Now, I don't know your situation with him, but maybe he felt he was being used? Think about things from his point of view. What did you bring to the table?

If you were to grow mycelium, where would you sell it? Do you have a plan for your ideas?

There are speech-to-text programs out there. Look them up, your writings could easily be transferred to the computer.

Good luck.

Wish I could escape the 9 to 5, but with kids and a mortgage, thats not easy right now. From what you say, youre in a very good position to work towards your dream of a more fulfilling occupation. Living with your parents and having no dependants means you could actually save up a lot of money, but you would have to swallow your pride and take whatever work you could get, to start with. Might take years of struggling, but you might pick up valuable skills along the way, as well as developing self discipline and resiliance which will put you in a better position to succeed when you finally get an opportunity to set up a land based farming type of enterprise.

I used to think Id never get sucked into a wage slavery type of life, but it happens all too easily if you dont seize the small windows of opportunity, that occur from time to time, to break free. Between childhood and parenthood is one of those that comes to mind, as well as between parenthood and old age (assuming one becomes a parent at all).

I kind of missed the first one of those. Didnt want to work too much, didnt realise how easy I had it then. Didnt 'believe' in money or capitalism, but not believing in something doesnt stop it affecting your life. I thought freedom was my birthright. Now I see you pretty much have to buy your freedom.

Anyway Im rambling. Hope some of this is helpful to your situation.

Sorry if this comes accros harsh; i in no way intend to be.

Just be glad you are the master of cells; and not amongst them. To get their currency; atp, they are subject to a 16 hour grind, daily, without weekends ( making a lot of assumptions as to the fact they can actually rest when you sleep).

Escaping the 9-5 is usually done by People taking risks and responsibilities.. usually leading to situations in which they work far more then anyone enjoying a 9 to 5 grind.. do you think a farmer has 40 hour work weeks? Think again.. and anything you do for money comes with pressures behind it.
People born in a situation that places them outside of the grind are usually doing ridiculous things; i think this is just a symptom of a lack of fulfillment.. money is fantastic till you have more then you need and come to the conclusion it buys you nothing worth having beyond the point of fulfilling needs..

I was like you, angry at this grind, resentfull of money. Don't let your ego beat you up like that and just enjoy what you can have; don't grow too attached to it and you might be able to move up or accros laders. The grind only sucks when you let it suck, it's all perspective.

Just my two cents; now you have $46,02

Good post, and I agree.

I agree as well. Not harsh at all. I know that farming isn't easy. That's precisely why I'm focusing heavily in healing my hand to get strong enough to be able to farm effectively and with stamina.

The thing is I wouldn't mind working hard while growing food for myself and/or learning how to havest wild food.

What I do mind is working for a boss who tells me I can't eat during work even though my metabolism is quick and I sometimes get the urge to eat every 3-4 hours sometimes less depending on what I eat. That was my last job where I worked for 6-8 hour turns without being able to even eat an apple without the boss complaining about me eating a damn apple. I literally had to starve and dehydrate myself in order to work there. I also worked from 7-8pm to 3am. That is not healthy.

What I do mind is a friend who used to be a fat ass who ate at Buns and Domino's pizza and used the excesive amount of money he has (without actually working for any of it, his father died and he got a huge portion of money, he's never worked a 9 to 5 or has had any jobs ever in his life) in board games and magic the gathering. This fat ass changed his whole life, lost a bunch of weight, was excercising and doing yoga, eating healthier, actually cooking for himself instead of going out to eat for every single meal, after I gave him mushrooms and DMT, and this is the lying prick that fooled me into quitting my job to go "grow food and mushrooms" with him. Saying that everything was going to be fine and not to worry about the money.

This is the lying prick I was standing next to when the pitbull bit me and he did absolutely nothing, not a minute movement to help me release from the beast. I got bit for standing next to his dumbass who was speaking to a bum lady in a wheelchair. The lady in the wheelchair had a small dog in her lap and the pitbull was biting and I thought it was going to kill the smaller dog so I pushed it and it bit my arm and shook his head. I'm still recovering from that shit and this lying ass "friend" disappeared even more after this pitbull bit me right in front of him. He demonized my use (and perhaps his use as well) of psychedelics, after changing his life thanks to them, and started worshipping Jesus Christ and the Bible. After disappearing, I met him one day at a market and all he said was "Read the bible". I told him to tell me why, to give me any sort of reason, explanation, or proof or something, didn't say why and told me he needed to go. He also demonized the yoga I was doing, the study oh hinduism that I was doing, and demonized plants, nature, and women. Now do you know how I feel? Now do you know how betrayed and hurt and depressed I felt?

Sorry for the foul language but it's just how it came out and I don't feel like editing it. I think it conveys precisely what I've been through. And the anger.

Don't get me wrong I used to be resentful of money as well. I know I took a risk in trusting another person in the way I did but I just felt like risking it. I've been a very scared person for a long time and I just decided that I wasn't going to work that way anymore and that I was going to be brave and take risks. It didn't work out and now I have to figure out a new way to get out of the shithole.

I'll edit the post and remove profanity if it means it'll be allowed to stay here in the forum.
Again, I am sorry but I feel it expresses what I felt what I was through more precisely.
