How does a young man survive when he does not work at home and has zero income?

The rapidly developing Internet is changing everything, such as life and work. Many people are asking this question: "Why don't young people nowadays want to work?" But young people who don't want to work have to face reality, "How can they survive if they don't work?"

Any There must be intricate reasons behind a social phenomenon. Two concepts must be clarified here - "going to work" and "working", which are completely different things. Most people say that they “don’t want to go to work”, but that actually doesn’t mean they “don’t want to work.”

"Going to work" is a "commercial transaction" between an individual and a company. The company pays for your labor time, and you must follow the company's rules and regulations and go to the prescribed place at the prescribed time. prescribed things.

“Work” is one of the means for a person to settle down or realize his self-worth.

In short: going to work is to do things for others, and working is to do things for yourself.

After clearly defining the true meaning of "going to work", let's take a look at why today's young people don't want to go to work.

Most people are not born to hate going to work. The longer they work, the more they realize that the essence of going to work is actually to make money and make a living. If you are lucky, it may bring you a sense of accomplishment other than money; if unlucky, you are simply making a transaction of exchanging time for money, which is why some people complain that "going to work is a waste of youth."

But living in a materialistic society, if a person wants to survive, he must sacrifice something in exchange for money. And sacrificing time can be said to be a transaction that everyone naturally has and has the lowest cost. Therefore, going to work to make money has become a common thing in this society. The meaning behind it is: if you want to survive, you have to go to work.

I believe every generation can relate to the burnout caused by going to work. But why did our parents’ generation never hear that so-and-so didn’t want to go to work, so they just quit?

The point of view in "The Round Table" is very interesting: This is related to the rapid development of the Internet.

All kinds of media, advertising, and Internet products are changing every day to provide various lifestyles: the elite should drink a certain brand of coffee and wear a certain brand of watch; the middle class should have a house and a car as standard , travel abroad twice a year; a girl with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan eats an avocado a day; a middle-aged man who is not greasy and sweats profusely in the gym on weekends?

On the one hand, people from different classes see it without reservation each other's living conditions; on the other hand, society is increasingly advocating the same values ??and success standards. Gradually, everyone was squeezed into the same place and struggled in the same direction.

However, the sad thing is that the East is a hierarchical society, and people are extremely competitive with each other. Therefore, those who are unable to break through the status quo can only envy the lives of others and want to work hard to improve themselves, but at the same time lack the fighting spirit and ability to fight. As a result, they continue to suffer setbacks, and in the end they can only become marginalized people in society, repeating themselves day by day. Taking a hopeless class and living without accepting my fate.

For those young people who come from modest backgrounds and leave their hometowns to work in big cities without hesitation despite the opposition of their parents, the pressure to survive in food, clothing, housing and transportation and the ever-expanding material desires make them have many moments when they “don’t want to go to work” Undecided. Without the support of their parents or the financial strength to take risks, young people who seem to have more choices actually have no choice at all. So I had to complain about "I don't want to go to work" and continue to work hard.

If the people described above are the majority of the group who “don’t want to go to work”, then the young people who actually make the decision to resign and no longer work can be said to be the “real warriors” of this group of people. .

What can you do if you don’t go to work?

Negative choice: Eating and waiting to die

In the real society, countless young people who don’t know what kind of life they really want, together with the majority of struggling people, flock to After traveling to Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, I found that this fiercely competitive world did not seem to be my hometown. But there was no way back, so I had no choice but to become a "squatter" in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. However, after squatting for a long time, there would be days when I couldn't stand it anymore and I had to go out to find a job again and make the same mistakes again.

For those who are born in big cities, or whose families are so wealthy that they can live comfortably without working, relying on their existing assets, even if they don’t work, they can live comfortably in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. A deep-selling suite can last for several years. A friend told me that such a person existed around her. In the past, she had always been curious about why they had money to spend even if they didn't go to work all day long. One day, she couldn't hold it in anymore and asked the reason. She found out: It turned out that they had no money to spend, so they sold the apartment, and if they sold it for several million, they could live for several years.

“But this is not an option in the long term. There must be a source of money.” My friend said.

This kind of sitting around and not working is actually a relatively negative state.

Active choice: work for yourself

In this era, it is too difficult to achieve breakthrough wealth growth purely by relying on a nine-to-five job. Take the most popular, For the highest-paid programmers, those who work diligently, day and night, risking early baldness and sudden death for more than ten years may only earn an annual salary of one million, but they are still the group of people who are doing better. But what can one million do in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou? Not enough down payment for a house in the city.

The positive non-work status has one thing in common: they have all changed from "working for others" to "working for themselves." The choices of people who do not work can basically be divided into the following categories:

1. Self-employment

Most of these people are boys. Most of them are goal-oriented and do not like to be restricted by rules and regulations. , are not necessarily outgoing and have leadership qualities, but most of them are unfettered and desire financial freedom.

Entrepreneurship is more suitable for those who have certain network resources and independent ideas, and have strong ability to withstand stress and accept a fulfilling and busy state. Friends who start their own business are very helpless and hard, and few have an easy life.

2. Opening shops and doing business

Most girls open shops and do business. Most of the shops they open are in the catering industry, and they all have a boyfriend or husband who is also engaged in industry. Together they can manage the store or expand the business category.

Many people may be curious about how much initial capital is needed to open a store? In this era when the Internet is prevalent and traditional industries are declining, can you make money by opening a store?

Opening a store is indeed risky for people who do not work. The starting capital is at least 200,000-300,000, which is the investment to open a small coffee shop in a second-tier city. Whether a store can make money depends on many factors: initial investment, store positioning, business management, brand marketing, etc. Among the shops opened by friends around me, some started to make profits within a few months of opening, some were so popular that they planned to pay back their capital within one year, and some were losing 1 million every quarter. The basic rule is: the higher the initial investment, the slower the return will be.

So opening a store requires a person to accumulate funds. If you use your own money to open a store, the risk is still quite high.

3. Freelancing

There are various types of freelancing: self-media people, freelance writers, travel experts, free traders, sand painters, jewelry craftsmen, photographers , pastry chef, Didi driver, etc.

Freelancing is also a profession, which relies more on a person’s special skills. Basically, those who can make a living by freelancing have certain network resources in their own exclusive fields and are extremely capable. self-discipline. But whether you get along well or not is a matter of opinion.
