In your career, would you sacrifice time off for more money?

Question

Unit1 · Accepted Answer

Earlier i would have said yes but only because I was starved both financially and literally.

Now I say no, not really. Jobs and employments are terrible. So much competition and not enough work for everyone. The pay doesn't cover the cost of living (i'm not "blaming" the business owners but the matrix). No one wants to hire anymore.

There may be a way to get paid by clicking buttons 2 times and putting up a money deposit - Buy/Long and Sell/Short. Either button first and later the other button.

I guess I already do that.
I work odd hours.
We aren't supposed to work more than 48 straight hours without 24 off.
Lately I've been doing some 96 hours plus my side job.
It's not the most fun I've ever had, but 56 hours of ot a week helps out, or comp time if I can ever use that.

A year ago I would say YES, but now I would definitely say NO. There is no point in having money if you don't have the time to use IT. Moreover, rest is necessary for our physical and mental health. I discovered that we really need IT, even more than money, just to keep balance. You cannot do that without a break from work.

It’s not worth it. The burn out with trying to climb the professional ladder is done. At the end of the day work to survive but live your fucking life. None of this is worth it. You can’t die with it so therefore be free and happy

I'm in that weird money zone where I have enough money for casual things like music, games, drinking, etc... but I'll never have enough money to buy a house, for instance. I could save my whole life and I'd never even be close to enough. The amount of money I'd get for sacrificing my free time would not close that gap. I'd just have less of my life to actually derive any sort of satisfaction from. It wouldn't be worth it in the slightest.

How much money we talking here? Because if you asked me this 10 to 15 years. Ago I would have said yes. But I'm a lot better off financially now than then. So it would take an exorbitant amount now. Because my time means more to me than money now.

I realize I'm saying this as I type on a site that is a time drain.😆

No way. As much as I love what I do, quality of life is way too important.

As long as I have enough money for stability, that's all I care about. I can make more money off the stock market if I need it.

So you're saying the time off I have to enjoy being off, I would sacrifice to still be making money?

WE ALL DO ALREADY. This is something of a basic postulate in Economics 101.

When I worked (disabled now) I almost always worked whatever extra hours or days I could.
