Which one would you take?


I'm trying to decide whether my precious video games are worth all that free time. Since I have no wife or kids, I don't have to worry about spending my money on other people. On the other hand, having all that extra money is nice. I just don't know what good money would do if I don't have the time to enjoy it. Work-life balance seems to be much more difficult to achieve nowadays than it was even ten years ago. Which one would you take?

Probably the 30 hours a week.

I could really use 60k because I've got a baby due in a few months...

But if I'm working 60 hours a week I'm not even going to have much time at home, and even now, babyless and working 40-45 hours a week its tough to get stuff done that needs done as well as find time to do fun stuff.

(and 30k isn't really bad, especially for the hours put in)

30k is probably around 22k after taxes. it really depends on cost of living because 22k a year where i live is pretty much impossible

What good is more time if you're too broke to do anything

lmao on no overtime pay

should be
30 h/w = 30k
60h/w = 70k a year

first 40h = 40k
last 20 hours are x1.5 so 30k

unless you are talking 2 jobs

30 hour a week easy, pay is fine

60 hour a week gives you like no time to do anything with 7.4 hours a day of "free time" assuming 8 hours of sleep and not including commute

Are you not familiar with salaried work? Usually they're "exempt" from overtime.
