How to stop giving a fuck?

I’ll tell you what I did.

I lucked out by not really giving a fuck in the first place, but you can do it too.

First off, nothing matters, you’ll be dead in 100 years. Might as well have fun with it.

I hate bills, corporations, being told what to do, etc.

So I wanted to get out early. So I slashed expenses to the bone, then through the bone, out the back, through the school across the street, etc.

Lived like a slave, and compared to most people my age, still do.

Why?

So bills don’t matter. When you are as below your means as necessary, means don’t stress you out as much, because you have all the power. The more you do it, the more power you have.

Then you are in the IDGAF zone. Let’s say, for an example, you make $100k a year. But you live at minimum wage, like $16k a year.

Every bit extra you bank and do not spend.

If you get fired you can work any income level from $100k to $50k to $20k, whatever, because shit don’t matter baby.

Most idiots spend the $100k and get trapped in the rat race by raising their liabilities.

Or you can bank $80k a year and never have to worry.

Then you no longer care about your job, and that’s when employers think you’re better than them, and, strangely , respect and reward you more. Because IDGAF works across all strata.

Or skip all that and go live in a van and travel. I’ve done that too.

I lived in NYC making bank for awhile and I only spent $400 a month living there (not counting food and fun). In midtown. Walking distance down broadway to Times Square, right by Union Square. Because once you don’t give a fuck, all the background noise goes away.

Its your responsibility to do exactly how you want, it's your life, own it.

First you have to make a concrete plan of what things you want to focus on, be it having more money, time, stress relief time, etc. When you have an idea of what you want more of, you will have to start deciding what things you are going to cut out of your day that will give you those things, or what to add. Then you have to make the actually action of doing something, or stopping doing something so you can put something else in that block of time instead.

I have had to do this a good few times in my short adult life so far, and it gets easier as you get used to doing these sort of schedule and routine changing things. The most important thing is not doubting yourself constantly, and I feel learning how to spend as little money as possible to get by helps a massive amount, becoming a minimalist in a way.

Past and future don't exist. It's always now. Worrying and stressing about the future is insane. F.e. your job. You will lose your job. There are 5 possible ways you will lose your job: you quit, you get fired, the company goes bankrupt, you retire or you die. There is nothing there to worry about. Also take an abundance mindset regarding work. This job you have isn't the only one on the planet. Furthermore: set aside a part of your salary each month. When I was employed I took 20% of my net salary and put it in a savings account. Just in case I would lose my job and I had to bridge a period in between jobs. Not fully trusting on welfare.

So: planning for the future is a sane thing to do. Worrying about it is not.

Mmm 2 jobs? Have you saved money?If you have enough for like 6 months to live off of try a side gig to ease the pain of having to work full time & then focus your energy on studying & doing whatever tf you want during your free time. Side include Youtube, Courier services like Postmates, or doing uber.

Find something that makes you happy. Do that. Everything you're doing that makes you feel like a cog. Don't do those things.

save 50% of ur income, and invest the rest in a low cost index fund. cut down all of ur expenses too a bare minimum,once the returns on ur investment covers atleast 85% of ur expenses. simply work less hours, naturally u will stop giving a fuck, because u won't need too. avoid women like the plague they'll fuck ur shit up quick, which is where most of us gone wrong sadly.

> I’ve been living life on autopilot. Working 2 jobs. Going to school...
You should not 'stop giving a fuck'; you are being way overworked for a shit society. You should be pissed; anyone who cant get by on 40 hours a week has a right to be pissed off.
