$10K/mo For Life Doing Nothing vs. $100K/mo Working 14hrs/day, M-Fr?

[Don Snow]

10k for life


Working 14 hours manual labor is torture

You basically gave us a $10,000 a month pension for LIFE. That's our retirement right there.

I can live off 6 grand and bank 40 to 50 grand a year. At least until I have kids and they start destroying my pockets.

 

[the cac mamba]

is this supposed to be a hard decision. i spend like 2500 a month right now. fukk working

What, to be eligible for retirement benefits? Same rules as any other job.

But, also like any other job, if you quit prior to retirement nothing happens to you financially speaking other than you’re not eligible for those retirement benefits.

And for me personally- after a couple years of making that $100k/mo and amassing a solid portfolio of assets and properties, missing out on my job’s retirement benefits for quitting before retirement age just wouldn’t really bother me all that much. Personally speaking.

This is what I was thinking. I could put a fat down payment on a home I actually want in month one and then for less than 10k a month:
-regular messages every week
-maid
-whatever health food I want

Basically, the first month would give me a way to invest in my body while I grind out the work, stuff all tax-advantaged accounts I can, buy blue-chip dividend stocks, etc. You really don't have to do it for long to actually be set up for life, especially if you don't lifestyle creep in the first year. I'm 36 so I know I won't have the bounce-back I used to for those hours so this would be a 2 year max deal. Even if I can only do it for 4 months I would have so much cash stashed I can go back to doing what I currently do and let that shyt sit in accounts. Compound mothafukkin interest.

I really want to say 100k monthly but fukk that 10k a month allows me to travel and have hobbies and still have time to hustle.

 

[Ski Mask]

Them 10+ hr shifts in warehouse was not a joke, never again. I'll take the 10k and invest it

 

[Rick Fox at UNC]

I think I might get to the 100k/mo. mark in a few more years.

I'll take that.

 

[Spliff]

10k/mo quality of life obliterates the 100k/mo option.

 

[Gains]

pass me that 10k , Im at the beach

 

[DapMeUp!]

I can still do other shyt like side hustles in my spare time right?

Give me the 10k.

 

[Womb Raider]

14 hour days M-F???

Give me the 10k/mo doing nothing.

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Cot damn a 14 hr day? Give me the 10k

Yeah, blue collar 14 hour days is hell for your longevity and qol.

Those dudes be strong but in pain when they get older.

 

[6ixSigma]

As someone making 10k a month after taxes, I’d go for the 100k a month option

Life changing

 

[Jaylen Tatum]

[I Really Mean It]
