➡ The text discusses the choice between a $120,000 remote job and a $240,000 office job. The author argues that many people would choose the lower-paying remote job due to laziness, not wanting to work harder for more money. They criticize this mindset, pointing out that many people in other professions or countries work much harder for much less. The author emphasizes the importance of hard work and ambition, and criticizes those who would pass up the opportunity to earn more money.
➡ The speaker argues that working hard and earning more money, even if it means working in an office, is better than working from home for less pay. They believe that the benefits of earning more money outweigh the convenience of working from home. They also express that being wealthy or poor is a choice in the United States, and that people who complain about not having money are often just unwilling to work hard for it. The speaker emphasizes that success comes from hustle, sacrifice, patience, and consistency.

They would take the 120k remote job over the 240k office job. Like, are we okay? Let’s say that you live off of the $120,000, regardless of if you’re taking the $120,000 remote job. Or the extra, that’s double the amount, okay? I hope you understand that. And you’re living off $120,000 a year. That means you can invest the remaining $120,000 a year. And let me tell you how much that costs, okay? Let’s just take a 10-year historical S&P 500 average of 12%. If we want to be conservative, we can even say 7%. But I’m going to go with the 12% example, just so I can illustrate this to you.

So these numbers are basically, if you invested $120k at the start of each year for 10 years, using different average annual returns, I’m using the 12%. Your estimated final value goes to 2.159. 2.16, actually, rounding up. You’re telling me you would forego 2, Millie? Be so for real. People do it every day, B. People do it every day, B. You know what I see happen? Because I started to think about this last night after we had the conversation on after hours. And you know what I’ve come to the conclusion of? Is that most people fumble the bag on a regular basis, and it’s not even close.

People do it every single day. They fumble the bag, and they forego a bag every single day. Every day, people choose not to make less money so that they can actually play video games, so that they can apply for food stamps, so that they can get Section 8 housing, so that they can run in the victim Olympics. Most people do not want to work. That is all it is. This conversation is not even about whether or not you would take $120,000 working from home or whether you would take $240,000 working in the office.

Because most people say that they want more money, but nobody says that they want to work harder from it. This conversation is not even about social pressure, what’s happening in corporate America, none of that stuff. This isn’t about doing calculations to see how much you will make more over a lifetime. It’s not none of that. This ain’t about your mental health and whether or not you actually like being around people. It’s not. This is all about, and really, this is the conversation that we need to have happen inside of the United States of America, is about laziness.

This is about only laziness. When you ask somebody what they forego, $240,000 a year, and they’re not even putting their life on the line for it, because this guy’s out here making a quarter million dollars a year as linemen. They are up on the telephone poles, up on the light poles, keeping their energy running throughout the year, and they make the sacrifice. It’s people that’s on oil rigs. You know what I’m saying? They’re working in the middle of the ocean with nobody around them and no box that’s available to them.

And they’re out there making sure, and they’re putting their life on the line every single day. It’s people that work in the oil fields. It’s people that protect and serve and put their life on the line as police officers every day for less. And they do it willingly, knowing that their life can be taken away from them. And we’re having conversations right after when we have allegedly 42 million people complaining about whether or not they’re going to get their food stamps, and you’re telling me that you would forego an opportunity in the United States of America, which probably is more of a reflection of why migrants love coming here, and we hate being here, is because we’ve been too spoiled.

We haven’t seen poverty. We haven’t seen what these third world countries are living like. We haven’t seen them killing each other and mass genocide. We haven’t seen drought. We haven’t seen food shortages. We haven’t seen water shortages. And because we have not suffered, because we have not truly understood what the world is, we think that America is so bad. Oh my God. I can’t go. It was people tracking across the desert, across Mexico. They walked in caravans through Mexico for the chance to crawl through some barbed wire, walls, boxes, cartel members. Niggas, they was paying people to traffic them into the United States of America, and we see people sitting here saying that they would not…

Let me see what the average income in the world. Worlds, average income. The average income in the world. The world’s average income varies by metric, but most recent estimates put the average global personal income around $9,700 in 2023, where the data in the statistics is most available. Average income per adult around $23,000 in 2021, while the world’s bank per capita averaged $12,000, showing huge disparities with median incomes, much lower higher incomes, higher income nations far exceeding these averages. So you take the world, the world where some of the poorest people are making $1,000 annually, and others are making well over $100,000, and people are going to sit here and tell me, tell me that they would forego making $240,000 a year, and the only thing, because it’s not even like you got to make a huge sacrifice, nobody telling you to go kill nobody, nobody’s telling you you got to jump on an oil rig, nobody telling you to put your life on the line.

All you got to do is go into work for less than eight hours a day, get fresh, shave, brush your teeth, put on some sneakers and a belt, and you’re telling me that we would forego making $240,000 a year, because we don’t want to actually go into some doors in the office, and you say, I’m out of touch. I say, y’all are out of touch. You said less than eight hours, when did the rules change? Bro, nobody actually works for a full eight hours. Legally, you’re not even working for a full eight hours.

You do lunches, you do breaks, you twiddle your fingers, you pretend like you’re actually using the bathroom when you’re over there scrolling on TikTok, you pretend like you’re listening into the meeting, you don’t even do nothing. You don’t even do nothing. This is so disrespectful, and it shows you how spoiled and spoiled rotten. We are rotten as a nation. We are rotten as a nation when you have people sitting here telling you that they would rather stay home. Look, there’s always somebody that don’t understand context. Anti, you said yourself you would never go back into the office again, because I make millions of dollars doing what I do outside of the office.

So why would I give up millions to go make a quarter million dollars? Does that make sense to you? Now, if I was only making $120,000 staying home, then I would go into the office to go get the $240,000. Similarly to how I was going to get the more than $240,000 when I was live streaming, but I just made sure that I made it make sense and I would go into the office on different times. Now, why would I give up millions doing what I do on a daily basis running my own business and going to the office for $240,000? Does that make sense to you? This is simple math.

Simple math. This is very clearly simple math. The question is, would you take $120,000 at home or $240,000 in the office, and I’m taking a $240,000 all day? I’m a bag chaser. Boy, what you talking about? I’m a king of the bag chasers. Don’t you see this hat right here? I know it’s reversed, so it seems like you can’t read it, but let me flip it around for you so you can make sure that you see it clearly. Does that help? Does that help you? I’m from Detroit.

We hustle. We hustlers over in Detroit. I don’t know what y’all over there doing. I don’t know what pack y’all smoking on. I don’t know what is happening out in these streets. This is insane, bro. This is insane. Insane. Somebody said, look up how much YouTubers actually make. It’s not much at all. Nigga, I know how much I make. The fuck is you talking about, boy? How these niggas gonna tell me how much I make? How these niggas gonna tell me how much I make? Nigga, I know how much I make. What the fuck is you talking about? You smoking crack? Look at how much YouTubers make.

Nigga, I don’t need to look up how much YouTubers make. I know what I make. You smoking? I think all of y’all are on crack, man. Seriously, bro. I think all of y’all are on crack. Gotta be on crack. Gotta be on crack, man. I don’t get it. I seriously don’t get it. This nigga said, look up how much YouTubers make. The fuck is you talking about, nigga? I know what I make. Why would I have to look up what I make? Oh, my God. Anyways, this is so weird to me. Let me share another video of a guy that’s speaking on it.

Let me see. Did I say that already? Let me see if I can sign that. And all YouTubers is not the same. And I’m gonna tell you, we work way harder than people that is in the office every day. We work way harder than people that is in the office every day. See, this is why you can’t survive and why most people will never, ever be a YouTuber or people don’t really understand long-form content because you don’t really understand the grind and the hustle. For Daniel, my entire career, and only because of the fact that most of the times I have been offered jobs, the price point for both jobs is damn near similar once you calculate the financial strain and emotional strain that you take working in office.

However, this debate happening right now on TikTok, whether or not you’d rather 120K or 240K is ridiculous. Most of the jobs I’ve been offered are somewhere within 10 to 20K difference. The 10K being the lower of them because it’s remote. 20K hires like usually because it’s in person three to five times a week. Anybody saying that they would rather have 120K less a year and be home is ridiculous. The autonomy in which you will receive with 120K more dollars a year far outweighs the autonomy that you have being able to work in your pajamas from home.

And even the sassiest of people understand that we all speak the language of moolah baby. We have a universal moolah language. I don’t give a fuck about what your lifestyle is. I don’t care if you’re Muslim or if you’re Christian, if you’re black or if you’re white. If you’re sassy or if you’re straight, if you’re male or you’re female. What are we talking about? This isn’t even a conservative versus liberal conversation. This is a conversation about very basic. Do you want to actually live a better life or do you want to just live a less than better life than you would have lived if you would have took the better life? It doesn’t matter.

It’s a universal language. Ain’t nobody stupid. And I think y’all niggas is capping too. I’m going to get into that in a second. The majority of the people who work from home and claim it’s so much better are just kind of lazy. You don’t really do much more in your day to day life. Most of your friends will not be able to see you after work. Like the activities that you would otherwise do in that like hour or two span that you’re saving from being home aren’t that rewarding. I will say working from home I’m able to upkeep my laundry, walk my dog, things of that nature a lot easier.

It’s more simplistic. Like I don’t have to worry about doing that when I come home. If you gave me $120,000 more a year, I could pay somebody to do my laundry once a week and I wouldn’t even touch that 120. A lot of people are talking about, oh, well, having to eat out in the office every day. Again, you’re lazy. If you just made food, meal prepped, and just packed a lunch before you went to bed, that wouldn’t be an issue. The only feasible, reasonable issues that you cannot otherwise change are the commute time and the time lost in getting ready for work and all the other things and then coming back from work.

Somebody says, I bet it’s a lot of loneliness surrounded by fake smiles and a couple of those Rolls Royces. You know where I see the most loneliness and the most fake smiles? I just dropped a link in the chat. If you’d rather stay home for 120, let me know and tap in. You don’t have to be on camera. I’m not going to let you be on camera anyway. I just want to hear what you’ve got to say. You know, the most lonely people I see are poor, broke people. It’s cold. They’ve got to go to their government office to try to validate the fact that they want food stamps.

You could bet and you would be absolutely wrong. You could bet and you could be absolutely wrong. I’m always surprised. I’m always surprised at people. Actually, I shouldn’t be surprised. I should never be surprised. I did not have to get this house. I didn’t. I didn’t have to get this balcony and this house and all of this glorious and goodness in here. But I did because I could. And it’s largely because I work my ass off so that I can afford to do what I want to do. When I want to do it. Long way since ADM at work right now and they just call mandatory Saturdays for overtime and everyone here is complaining.

Complaining about making money. Just a little while ago, everybody was saying that they mad because they can’t find a job and they broke. And you got people that are sitting here complaining about not being able to make more money. What is the world coming to? What is the world coming to people are complaining about not being able to make more money. And this is how. This is how I know that it doesn’t even matter how much game that you give. It doesn’t matter the fact that all this is accessible. It doesn’t matter that you know what we talk about and how relatable it is when I see people complaining about rich people in the United States of America in particular.

I know that it’s all just based off of laziness. It’s all based off of laziness. It’s not because you actually want what they have. You want to get what they have without having to go through what they had to go through in order to get it. It’s all based off of laziness. When I see people complaining about other people, you can make as much money as you want inside of the United States of America. You can drive whatever car you want. You can get to whatever position that you want. You can absolutely generate a significant amount of wealth and become a millionaire.

In the United States of America today, it is a choice whether you are rich or you are poor. It can’t get any more simple than that. You choose whether you have children. You choose how many children you can have. You choose whether you want to lower your lifestyle. You choose the curriculum and the jobs. You choose if you want to go and get a car note or you want to take public transportation. You choose whether or not you want the freedom to do what you want to do or if you want to be hamstrung with interest payments.

You choose the pathway every single day. Every decision that you make is a choice. Every single decision that you make is a choice. So when I see people that sit here and complain in this country that they don’t have, I don’t believe because every day we give out the game, we give out the information. And you know what people do? They do the opposite and then they complain about rich people. There is very rarely in this country today can you not have a net worth over a million dollars in your lifetime. That is a choice in the United States today.

That is a choice in the United States today. If you do not acquire a net worth of over a million dollars, that is a choice. That is not something that you are just under duress about. I stand on that. I stand on that. I 100% stand on that. And that don’t mean that money is everything, but it means that your opportunities are greater here than anywhere else in the world. And if you’re not that, then that’s something that you did. It’s not something that somebody else did to you. Everybody don’t want to be rich. I don’t know why everybody keeps saying that.

Everybody don’t want to be rich. Everybody want to play the lottery. They want it handed to them. They don’t want to get it out the mud. They don’t want to work for it. You can have it. You just need to make sure that you hustle for it. You can have it. You just got to hustle. And that’s the difference between haves and have nots. Real talk. What is this house? 6,000, 7,000 square feet or something like that. It don’t even take a lot. It don’t even take a lot. It’s more so sacrificed and being patient and consistent than it is anything.
