Would you rather make $5k/month doing nothing or $50k/month working 8 hours, 7 days a week.

Really, $600k a year jobs require much more than 56 hours a week. If you actually only have to 7 8s that’s a steal.

Do I gotta go to company happy hours? Do I gotta stay late every single fukking day?

Talking about lifetime earnings. The lifetime earnings of someone making $100k/year is around $8 million, and that is working 40 years at the minimum. Wanting to retire early, you'll need lifetime earnings around $12 million (assuming you'll retire at 50-55). And you have to think about aging, you may live into your 90s as well.

You dont need $12 million. Not even close. Everybody on r/fire would laugh you out of that subreddit

People are willing to sacrifice their time to make 50k just so they can “retire”. Most people don’t even enjoy retirement. They wasted their prime years working.

I’ll take the 5k a month and move to Africa. Or Bali. Especially if it’s tax free, fukk it. Why would I want to stay in America :mjlol:


Ok but there's a difference between needing to work and wanting to work. And I highly doubt you would move to Africa or Bali because you would have done so already. Stop the cap.



$50k/month gives you access to the better neighborhoods, best college for your kids, etc.

If a job was lined up next week, with a $12,500 direct deposit that same week,

Why turn it down?

And its only 8 hours. Commute will be 5 minutes because I'd move next door. Would immediately hire a cook, maid, and build a home gym. Everything at home would be automated so I dont have to do shyt.

I've been in the Navy. Out to sea, I've worked 7 days a week, for 12 - 16 hours a day as an Officer. So, I as a young man could easily deal with taking the 50k a month, working 7 days a week for 8 hour days. Grind for about 4 years, investing all I make that is not needed for living expenses, I would have a pretty nice investment income to augment my normal income from a far less strenuous job I take later.

5k tax free of course

Im too old for doing 7 days a week and 8 hours with no time off

You’ll be dead within a year
If I were 20 again, I’m doing that 50K because I’m young and why the fukk not.

I’ll enjoy my days off now. :pacspit:

Laugh at me but crying about their healthcare bills wiping out their little retirement accounts.

These dudes are wilding.

Yeah 7 days a week is a lot but with $50k salary

You can move next door. 5 minute commute time.
You can hire a personal cook.
You can hire a personal maid.

You literally don't have to do anything once you clock 7 hours and 30 minutes. As soon as you clock out you got a whole 8 hours.

I'm assuming the work isnt hard like most office jobs either.
