A) Would you rather work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and earn 100k a year (~$21.00/hr)...
OR
B) Work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and earn 40k a year (~$19/hr)?
Conditions:
-The income above would be your only income.
-No side-hustles or additional jobs/incomes.
-You must work that job for at least 10 years.
-All benefits/PTO/etc. are considered equal for the purposes of this question.
-Both jobs require mild physical activity (like walking, bending, occasional light lifting).
(kind of a weird question I know, but it's a fun one)
Me personally I would rather have the opportunity to earn 100k/yr even if I had to work a ton of hours. Because after 10 years I could quit the job and have at least 300k saved up in the bank with which I could buy a home and car brand new with straight up cash and then work another normal job 40 hours a week with no mortgage or car loan payments.
