  • A Case for Staying Unemployed

    You can finally love Mondays

    People will be scrambling to get to work, but you just can’t relate because you’re still in bed at 11 a.m. Don’t you just love that?

    No billing from family members

    Everyone knows you’re unemployed and don’t earn a salary. What are they even billing?

    No more taxes to cut your salary in half

    Imagine handing over one-third of your salary to this government. Who does that? Even God only asked for ten per cent.

    You can pursue a better-paying career

    An example that works well is having a sugar daddy or mummy. You’re still earning a salary, but you’re no longer doing a 9 to 5. It’s more like 5 to 9 now.

    You can always say you’re an “entrepreneur”

    No one will question you if you don’t look like you’re suffering. And even if you do, you can always blame it on the hustle.

    You can also make a killing from begging

    If fronting as an entrepreneur doesn’t work, hit the streets and start begging. You’ll make bank.

    You can finally finally chase your dreams

    According to motivational speakers, “Your salary is the bribe they pay you to forget your dreams”. So what happens when you don’t earn a salary? Of course, you’ll chase your dreams. You might be chasing actual dreams by sleeping all day, but that’s still a win.

    Or you can focus on making heaven

    Stay unemployed so you can shift your focus from worldly things, and put everything into making it to heaven.

    You can finally find love

    If you can’t find love in the office, maybe you’ll find it if you spend your 9-to-5 in the streets. Think about it.
