A self-made millionaire claims the vast majority of people working “soul-destroying” 9-to-5 jobs are “mindlessly wasting their lives” – and urges anyone in one to quit today.
Cam Moar, 22, who lives in South Australia when he’s not jetting off on holidays to exotic locations across the globe, spent most of his adolescence believing that the endless grind “was the only way to live”.
Taking on a four-year apprenticeship as a carpenter as a teenager, he worked “backbreaking” 12-hour shifts five days a week for a “measly” $600-a-week [AUD].
In 2020, just six months away from completing the programme, he quit – after realising there was “more to life than making his boss rich”.
Despite his parents’ reservations, Cam abandoned his steady job and decided to “dip his toes” in e-commerce instead.
The risk paid off – just two years later, the 22-year-old nets up to $250,000 per month and is worth $1m.
“When the money first started coming in, I was blown away,” he told JamPrime.com.
“In just a couple of days of selling online, I was making my weekly salary as an apprentice and I wasn’t killing my body.
“Of course, there is risk involved because I was on my own and I think that’s what scares a lot of people.
“They are mindlessly wasting their lives in my opinion.
“They are taught that all you do in life is go to school, then get a degree or a trade, buy a house and spend the rest of your life paying it off.
“I conformed to that mindset for a while but once I realised how much money I could earn working for myself, I was never going back.
“Now I enjoy the life I’ve always wanted. I’m 22 and work two to three hours a day.
“I still work hard but I’m not getting up at 5am to drive an hour to work to build someone else’s house.”
Cam now teaches people the art of the e-commerce industry through his firm, 6 Figure Drop Shipper.
Since entering the industry in late 2020, he has coached more than 2,500 people through the company’s programme.
He said this has enabled “countless” others to experience the financial freedoms he now enjoys.
All this has inspired him to share his story because he wants others to “open their eyes” to the possibilities in front of them and stop listening to older generations telling them they have to suffer because they did.
He said: “I want to open people’s eyes to what’s possible.
“I don’t hate them for being sheep – I just want them to see what they could do with their lives instead of spending them working soul-destroying nine-to-fives.”
Since finding financial freedom, Cam is living the high life in a $1.2m three-bed beachfront house in Adelaide, South Australia.
The “car-mad” youngster also drives a $180,000 BMW M5, which he owns outright.
Outside of his daily comforts, Cam enjoys frequent getaways to destinations including nearby Bali, the Gold Coast and Cairns.
Despite his earnings, the entrepreneur is open about the fact he doesn’t love his job – but “he loves being rich”.
Before he quit his apprenticeship, Cam planned on qualifying and becoming a site manager in the construction industry – hoping it would result in an annual salary of $100,000 within a decade.
But after netting $19,000 and then $50,000 in his first and second months selling products through e-commerce, he abandoned the “rat race”.
He said: “I would be lying if I said I love e-commerce because I don’t.
“But I love being rich and what it enables me to do with my life.
“I work around two to three hours a day wherever and whenever I want. It’s all my risk but it’s all my reward too.
“I enjoyed woodworking, which is why I did carpentry. It was great to start with but quickly became dull and monotonous – like most jobs.
“Now every day is truly different and I am a master of my own destiny.
“It could crumble at any point and that is always that at the back of my mind.
“But at the same time, I am living a dream life.
“I am always travelling, my car is great, where I live is great, the things I have as a 22-year-old I never thought I’d have.
“And I’ve earned all of that for myself rather than sweat to make someone else rich.”
