“I’ve tasted unemployment and I’ve tasted the 9-5 life. I would recommend not being born”

“I’ve tasted unemployment and I’ve tasted 9-5. I recomment not being born” is a saying that has been printed on many images. The choices between not working at all and overworking to only just barely survive are not pleasant, either way.

I’ve tasted unemployment, I’ve tasted 9-5, I’ve tasted freelancing, and honestly I’d suggest tasting life with your husband’s money instead
