9-5 slavery is an addiction or an obligation for the vast majority and I understand why. I could leave my daily job anytime without it being painful for the family but yet the system still gives you reasons to keep you in the rat race. For me, the rat race is a choice and I will explain why. I am a director in a high tech company, my freedom is quasi illimited. No need to be in office or to report anything daily, and most of my days, I am doing my own things. For my job, I am just building in the background and lead a few people so they can deliver timely and efficiently. In average, I am probably working 1~2 hours per day as I have optimized my workflow. It has been like this for the last 2 years and it would be an insult to my family to stop milking the system and stack sats so easily.
