Money&#39;s been amazing, I jumped from $65,000 a year to $118,000 overnight. However, that means I work every day after work and often on weekends to get my work done. At best I work 30 hours a week, at worst I can put over 70 hours in billable in a week.<\/p>\n<p>&#x200B;<\/p>\n<p>Late nights like today have me wondering how many of you guys do the same to get ahead? I feel like this is not sustainable long-term but this is a lot of money at 25 and I think it could help me leverage to FIRE way quicker. However, it sucks seeing all my peers going out 3 to 4x a week while I work away. I do manage to sneak out twice a week when I&#39;ve given up on productivity for the day.<\/p>\n<p>How many of you guys are also grinding away quietly just so you can meet your financial goals earlier?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#32; submitted by &#32; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/bcitman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/bcitman <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/rdwhcu\/how_many_of_you_have_no_worklife_balance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#32; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/rdwhcu\/how_many_of_you_have_no_worklife_balance\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Everyone, &#x200B; I&#39;ve been working 50 &#8211; 60 hours a week on average with contract work on top of a day job.
