4-Hr work week — is not real. It is a fantasy that sells.
Please don’t blame yourself for working 8 or more hrs every day. That is what real life is.
You are doing nothing wrong. You are not a ‘corporate slave.’ You are not missing out on a fabulous life, living on the beach and sipping margaritas, fuelled by ‘passive income.’
The only people I know of, who can afford a 4-hr work week, are the retired folks. And from what I can tell, they are all looking for post-retirement gigs 🙂
