I used to work sometimes 9 to 10 hours per day in an office a few years ago and did that work in the office for around 10 years.

During that 10 years of office work and about 5 years into that office job I felt like I was wasting my life and I was so bored and couldn't wait for the workday to be over.

I decided that I would start a blog in a good paying niche when I got home from work or on the weekends in my spare time.

Then after the blog had been online for nearly 5 years it started to make enough money for me to quit my office job and I had enough money saved up for an emergency fund so I gave my notice and quit the job.

Now my website makes more than I ever did at my office job and I only write maybe 3 blog posts per month when I feel like writing.

There have been a few months where I never even wrote another blog post and I'm still making passive income from that blog and the website traffic keeps climbing and the money just keeps rolling in every month without me having to do much.

I can travel when and where I want too and just be lazy if I want too and don't have to set an alarm clock to get up in time to get to the office job.

I work in an office from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM and I hate going to work everyday.

We had a snowstorm a few days ago though and today I get to stay home because the office is closed due to the weather but will open tomorrow and I dread going back to work.

I work with spreadsheets all day which is very boring after awhile working there and I look up and stare at the clock waiting for the hours to pass and it seems like the hours are dragging on.

I wish I were able to get out of this soul sucking office job and find something I can do at home and earn passive income without having to do much of anything.
