A wonderful book sure to motivate you to make the most of your own talents. Definitely share your opinion on this one. Maybe we should work on some genetic ambition implants. Dont get frustrated as I think complainers may actually secretly be very satisfied.

They just want an ego boost. I also am producing multiple episodes a week for my podcast so the blog is not the only priority. But I think that it doesnt just come down to putting in more hours. At the end of the day all that matters is that you reach your goal. How you get there doesnt matter.

Srini, are you sure Data Point 4 is you, or you are forcing your situation into data point 4? It seems to me you have a good podcast site and a personal blog that has some regular fans. Are you selling yourself short? Perhaps one motivational tip is to peg yourself against another blogger who has a bigger audience or traffic and see if you can match.

You really should have no excuse not to kill it as a full time blogger with your two sites and full time capability. What is your goal at the end of the day? Only you will know. In terms of the comment ratio, you brought it up before, and it when you did I made a point to reciprocate. I also comment when I think I have something value to say. There are certain areas that you write about where my comments would add no value to the conversation because they are not things I have any knowledge of.

As faras the ratio goes, given that we went as long as we did without me reciprocating, I might not ever be on I do like your idea of putting myself against another blogger for the sake of goals. But, I appreciate the fact that you see my potential. That term you use is really debilitating. Forget about trying to get everybody to love you. Pretend your life depends on it.

You just have to be as dependable in the consistency of your writing as Old Yeller. If you want to use someone as an anchor, or compete with someone to keep you motivated you are welcome to compete with me. Me and my wife prior to joining union we both worked 40 hours plus my overtime at straight pay.

Gotch, 2X sounds more reasonable. Housing is more expensive here because income is probably x the median there. I think that people have so many options including watching other people live their lives in reality TV Shows that works is not longer as important to them. They watch shows like the Kardeshians and think they should be able to act that way too. I work about 60 hours per week, including my primary job and my blog as well as freelance articles on other sites under my blog brand , plus I have some volunteer hours. The US has more income disparity than basically every other developed country in the world.

Once all the pieces are in place, I will just let the system takeover. We are heading more towards socialism because our government is redistributing wealth and providing huge government programs. No free education after high school, no universal health care, lower taxes, etc. Top tax rates are lower than they were decades ago.

So far, Obama has been somewhat unsuccessful at bringing about his Universal Health care instead we got the patchwork Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act , and Bush era tax cuts were extended for 2 years from to at least , when Congress will have to decide what to do with those. So to call America socialist, or heading towards socialism, is kind of like being of above average height in North Korea. Great article, Sam… I agree with you completely. Working on a Salary without overtime and spending 80 hours a week on the job is about the standard around my workplace.

I average 32 scheduled hours a week but as a nurse I could pick up hours or be called off depending on census. In someways, I agree with you about working more hours to earn more money instead of just complaining about barely getting by. That has been a pet peeve of mine since my first job lifeguarding when the people who always wanted to leave early were always the ones who complained about not having enough money.

At this point in my life, I am good with typically working under 40 hours a week. I am not one to spend money excessively so I would rather have more free time compared to more money. I am just lucky I choose a career where I can have flexibility and enough money to live on. Sounds like you have an excellent gig Rachael. More power to you for being able to work 32 hours a week. The reason people get paid overtime is because they job agreement with their employer is 40 hours a week. You want more than the deal? Seems fair enough to me. Working free overtime is ridiculous — why would anyone do that?

I could have had more free time, or I could have more money. Productivity per hour worked is higher in Europe. I guess the Europeans can tell themselves that to make them feel better about why their countries are crumblingZ. Working all of the time, unless you need to meet frequent nightly deadlines for some reason, could flag weakness in a worker. Aside from IB and MC, working late every night could even draw attention to someone in a bad way.

Although we do work less than Americans. What are you, on coke? Is it all about money? Your beautiful car will be sitting in your parking lot at work and your big house will be empty not to mention messy all day. Not everyone can go go go go. Many of you sound like a bunch of sorry old twats. Minus about 12 full days of vacation or something. Your life is one flowing mixed up not compartmentalized thing. When I used to work a normal job I would cut corners and piss in the corner every day.

I agree with your general sentiments about people can usually make more if they want to- or like me, make WAY LESS but create the things you would normally spend money on.. I used to work at a place that was under-staffed a few years ago. There were a few of us that always signed up for extra shifts i. There were many others who seriously and vociferously complained. Yet never offered to help out in any way. I think that I have worked pretty hard since I was about I have worked 3 jobs to make it and put off sleep.

I am not the sharpest tack, but I feel certain that I am one that will be around for some while. Maybe when I die my kids can have something. Or a worthwhile charity. JR — I am a little confused by your story of the extra shifts. People take certain jobs for different reasons, but most people are trying to earn money. Many people working shift jobs would be thrilled to work extra shifts which would put them into OT because they will receive time and a half pay and earn a lot of money.

By the same token, other people may have taken the job less for the dollars but rather to get health insurance, eg. In that case, working the extra shifts would not benefit them as much as having free time. I see taking a shift job is a business relationship between employer and employee. Everyone does what benefits him — both employer and employee. On the other hand, if you are a salaried employee rather than an hourly worker, which working shifts implies and not receiving any compensation for the extra hours required due to under-staffing, then I would understand your feeling resentful of people not working the hours that you are.

Although, I would be more resentful of the employer who made the decision to under-staff. Were you just making that up or is it true! A couple have a sugar momma, a couple more prefer drinking after hours, and a couple more prefer family time which is a perfectly valid choice to make IMO. I worked about plus hours a week when I started my business.

Being a full time, single mom, full time student, paying for daycare in the day and for the night, getting about 2,3 hours of sleep a day, it was rough. Yet it was doable, it takes discipline which I find most people simply lack. THe microwave generation sure has everything when they want it but forget about the cost opportunity of having it.

I thought that was for Gen X? Well, I call it that. I have friends who work about 40 hours or less and are always complaining about the amount of money they make. I am in real estate, so I worked really hard for about 2 yrs making before being able to slack off for a bit. Before I started my business, I was making well over the 33k and working less than 63 hours. Going into business for myself gave me the mobility I needed, so I went to work for mi casa. Oh and I was reading your rant about the shady appraiser, let me tell you, they are not all bad apples: The real estate industry people are not all bad…my business in in real estate investing, and having a military background, my work is impeccable.

Who wants to be a corporate slave?? As long as you can afford basic necessities, no debt and have a roof over your head….. I only work half the year now. It gets so cold your eyes literally glaze over with ice when the wind hits them. I find girlfriends who have similar interests, while weeding out the materialists. I cook most of my own food, and coffee or tea is my comfort food. However, I still earn enough to sustain myself for almost 3 months for each month of work I do. That is to say, that the cost of my rent, food and entertainment is only a third of what I make in a month.

The rest can go to savings. Because I am earning and being taxed half the year, and then I suddenly cease earning, tax season is always great for me as well. Some time around October it starts snowing, and I quit my job. I coast for up to 6 months not needing EI or welfare. I am consuming less as a result, and also producing less, lowering my footprint and impact on the world, and conserving resources for the future. Thanks for your perspective.

Come down to California or Hawaii during your time off. It is only those who are complaining about their situation, yet working less than 40 hours a week where we should be wondering…. How about time with family? Then why are children of 70h-week workers raised by institutions? Why do you always eat, get your necessities, and everything else at an institution? Last time I checked, that was exactly the principles of Communism. Obviously those who work more should be compensated more.

Money is not the only important thing in life. There are other priorities, like family, spending time with children.

Working for someone else is not the top priority in life. Students get a college education so they can work 40 hours a week and make a decent living. People need to spend time on themselves, hobbies, things you are passionate about outside of work. This entire article seems geared towards workaholics. YOu say people in France complain when they need to work 40 hours or more, well europeans value their time with family and themselves as a priority over working for the man.

We hardly move sitting in an office, no wonder so many of us are unhealthy, send our 3 month olds to daycare, are overweight and stressed out. We should be healthy, we should have time to work out and eat healthy, sit at night and eat with our families at the dinner table, take care of our infants rather than sending them to daycare so they can raise them for us. Working over 40 hours a week is NOT the answer. I manage a gas station and I give my crew 40 hrs each and a Tab account that they could buy stuff and charge it on it.

Than to pay it back I tell my crew that I will pay regular pay in cash or give them credit on there Tab Account ,but they don,t have to work after there schedule hr s it is all up to them to decide if they work extra hours is this legal the way im doing this. Oh boy, I worked 80 hours a week on the golf course or taking my clients to Applebees. We all know why the 40 hour work week was in place. Not for rich upper-middle class sales people to get paid overtime networking and synergizing with there pals at a nudey bar, but to stop the miner from mining 12 hours a day weekends included.

Look back at history at see how the law has shaped this land. The blogs you write are read by people taking a break from their jobs. Fair labor laws etc is what allows this. Outsourcing jobs to other countries so corporations can pay jack for 80 hours a week to a single mom living in a dump is a crime, actually a felony here. The only reason you people agree with this jerk is that you are trying to validate how hard you work.

Go home and spend some time with your kids. Go fishing, work off that gut. As much as I hate networking, I know it is the people whom I take my lunch breaks with that help me more than the extra hours behind my computer. However, I do agree that you often have to put in the extra hours to get noticed. I never offered to work overtime because it was unecessary, all she had to do is streamline her process and her desk would be clean at the end of the day like mine.

I offered to finish tasks for my co-worker and repeatedly asked for more work to which my boss replied that there was no more work. If there is no work, there should be no overtime. I sometimes get bitter I have to work late while other people get to leave early no doubt. I work on average 60 hours a week, and do quite well thank-you-very-much. And I shake my head in shame. What IS this world coming to? If you have a huge passion for your work, fine, knock yourself out. And they may voice that frustration.

Why do you care? The message behind this post is based on a flawed assumption. The assumption that working more hours will cause you to produce more. Here, this post says it much better than I could. This is truly monstrous and stupid. Are all you people cheerleading this attitude really serious? Take a five minute break [horrors! Look at our environment now. Whether or not this aset works 2 hours a week or 80 hours a week is meaningless. PLUS…many companies often just plainly do it all wrong. They need to let go of the obsolete model of bodies in desks as an illusion of productivity.

Do more telecommuting for starters, and allow workers to take their off time for themselves…so you have a two week period where things end up in limbo due to planning or approval from somewhere…let everyone take the time off without losing PTO. AND…when workers get pulled into working an insane week or month to make something big happen…reward them. Raises, bonuses, promotions, and even just added PTO days will do wonders. Yet employers fear payroll costs and worry that promotions will lead to people using them to bargain for better jobs with competitors.

Um…if they would do that, then it shows you never gave them a reason to be loyal. No career is worth your health or your family. I think all of us would like to make great money while kicking back no? We need to make some sacrifices to get the rewards we seek. I always made enough to get by and fund my emergency fund, but never really worked more than that.

Sadly, my mom passed when I was in my mid 20s. She was wealthy, and she left my brother and I quite a bit of money — about 2 million apiece. My brother is a flashy guy. He likes expensive clothes, cars, and other items of status. He simply has expensive taste, and enjoys spending a lot of money on a regular basis. As such, he chooses to work full-time, bringing in another 40k or so per year.

His work drive is currently mitigated by his investment income, or I think he would work a LOT more. He is someone truly driven and motivated by money. I, however, am the exact opposite. I am a frugalista at heart. I choose to enjoy my free time and pursue my hobbies and passions — none of which involve much money, except maybe travelling. The only things I spend large amounts of money on are typically ones that will net me a nice return ex: Well, I have never worked more than 40 hours a week in my life. Maybe every once in a while I might have put in a 50 hour week if a big project was due.

I have to say that I disagree with this to some extent:. You did mention working smarter, but I think the key lies right there. When I worked in an office, I looked around me and more than half the office was not working very smartly. They waste their time, browse the web, talk to co-workers. I would work hard for hours, take a walk, and come back for more hard work. And, I hate to say it, but some people are just smarter and get things done much more quickly.

They are more efficient. I know that was true for me. Of course, I worked in software and every field is different. A nurse who works 10 hours a day would probably be very tired, where as an office worker who sits on a chair all day is probably fine after 10 hours especially if there are perks like fancy lunches and whatnot.

Some jobs are pretty cushy. Also, some people have kids and families and working more than 40 hours per week is not necessarily possible or a good idea cause kids grow up fast, you know. I knew a lot of people that worked long hours just to be away from their families. Honestly, I am amazed that people work as much as they do. Working too much is apparently the single biggest regret of the dying. Spending time with family and building community, volunteering, and doing good for the world are things I believe we should be doing more — they feed our souls.

If we stopped being so wasteful in our spending, we could work less AND be financially healthy. To them it is not worth the extra expense. Why pay a day care and Uncle Sam together 80 cents or more on the dollar from a second job? The greatest people I look out to are single moms. They know how to get things done and juggle everything.

One of my close friends is a single mom and she makes me catch myself whenever I feel like whining or complaining. Single moms are amazing! On the flip side. If you work a labor intensive position, than yes, 40hrs is plenty. If you are a desk jockey, than 50hrs is plenty. These expectation are what drive stress levels high and production low. Find smart workers who can get the job done on time within hours or find a manager who can better organize a tight schedule.

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. You want to ask questions about people who, but you care nothing about what is said by them. Start a question that is already answered just means that you are doing nothing but ranting. You did it poorly at that, since you trolled others in this post, instead of research. You speak about jobs and hours like they are overflowing where you are.

At that go screw yourself. It IS about separation and you are part of it. Go back home to your hating self. Oh wait you probably work from home blogging. I see you joining the future socialist party to void out anyone going against your game. You need a reality check on who will offer someone a 10 an hour job and how many are available. Do your family a treat, spend some time with them, or is paper currency the only thing you chase.

Secondly, they probably already gave you up. To leave u in the snow to freeze. Should I send you a souvenir from one of the 8 countries I visited last year with my 6 weeks of vacation? Presumably this website is run by someone who presumes to be some kind of financial guru, but in truth this is shocking advice for what i can only assume are very gullible people. They key is not working stupid hours, but having or gaining a skill where you can work far less than 40 hours and earn far more than you would in some stupid slave labor service position with some crappy Mccorporation.

Get a life people! Out of the US , its actually very rare for people to work more than 40 hours. This is shockingly naive. In my vast spare time i do whatever i please, at home. People, you need to work smart, not hard. This crap written here sums up america in a nutshell. Overworked, overstressed and with a constant need to buy more and more crap. I have never presumed to be a financial guru. I just made my first million by 28, lost a lot in , recovered, learned, wrote about my journey, and retired at 35 in this year.

You can read my About page here. Share more of your story. The smart thing is to get smarter and use your potential to get better paying job or become your own boss. More output with less input is the key to live a great life. The great Dalai Lama said: Men sacrifices his health to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. He lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived. I envy that you only need 5 or 6. For some people though working that much in unrealistic and unhealthy.

Doing this would me that I would need to be asleep by 8: Anyway, some people just need more sleep and employers should be more understanding of this. Yes, I want to get ahead. Yes, I want to make more money. Although, I am in no way willing to jeopardize my health or appear lazy on-the-job due to lack of sleep. Theres more to life than work.

Recommendation

Who the hell wants to spend all day, everyday, at the same place doing the same thing??? Live life, enjoy family, day trips, vacations. Whats your tombstone gonna say? You would be kicking yourself for not spending mire time with your lived ones. The only people that only care about making more money are those who are saving for something in particular, have no close lived ones that they see daily or people who are just plain greedy. Do you think your family will be happy you worked constantly and where never home so you could bring home another 15, dollars, give or take, a year?

Maybe they just get that money is nothing at the end if the day. Adama, I think you are missing the point. I do that now as an early retiree! Read the post to learn more. Sorry for the typos- typing on an iPod here. I also want to add that working more can easily be replaced by learning a valuable skill while working hours per week. I think only people who have actually done something TO get ahead, such as learned a trade or gotten an education of some kind can complain when they have to work over 40 hours a week to make it.

Now THAT is laziness. Wow, money is all that matters to you eh? What a pathetic person you must be. To not care about money, you first need to care a great deal about money. Now I live completely free on my passive income and work on what I want to do. The other point that struck me: You can be super productive in those 40 hours, especially with technological advantages we have over previous generations.

I understand that working more hours on special projects or during busier times is good office politics but consistently working over 40 hours all year round is asking for burn-out. I also think people should think about their salary as per hour. You can put max effort with 40 hour work weeks and more hours when needed for special projects or deadlines.

There are many people who put in more hours just for face time and inefficiencies, and are being taken advantage of in many ways. Your salary is based on the assumption of 40 hours. I noticed that she would make silly mistakes and then have to spend time fixing them. As just one example, she created a new spreadsheet to track projects.

It was beautiful and more detailed than our existing one, but required 3x as much time to update. Needless to say, no one wanted to take that extra time just to update her spreadsheet. Sometimes people create more work and then need those extra 60 hours to do their work. I mean could you work flipping burgers for more than 40 hours per week? But what if you were a football sports fanatic and you were offered a job to report on football. Nope, you probably love every minute of it. I know everyone is scared about having to provide for their family and the last five years have sent everyone into painful of anxiety, but working 40 to 60 hours is insane.

As a result of your myopathy, now EVERYONE has to succumb to rediculous standards while less and less people get the opportunity to chase their true passions. Meanwhile pharmaceutical companies and lawyers are cleaning up on your psychological idiosyncrasies and divorces. I work full time and then spend my evening working another 4 to 6 hours cultivating my dream job. Taking the minutes before bedtime wondering if anyone else feels like me. I see a lot more people turning the corner on suicide.

Have you ever noticed that people that can create interesting and engaging conversation are becoming famous? Physicists, comedians, scientists, globe hopping journalists… You know why?

Not some soul grinding toil dealing in construction or warehousing. Now ask yourself, when was the last time someone in construction or logistics held your interest with a mind blowing epiphany? We trade one cubicle for another. But your so conditioned, it makes you feel above it all to just submit and tell others to suck it up. You may enjoy this post: If you work another hours after working full time, are you not working more than 40 hours a week to try to get ahead? I want to spend time with my daughter on weekends and evenings and not be seating at work after my normal 8 hours.

I agree that quality of life is so important so we can raise good hearted children who see that work is important but not more so than health, family, dreams, etc. I hear people say that their work is like their home. We have gifts to share so if we are run-down how ca we truly feel at our best? If we love what we do then we have tons of energy but our bodies still need rest and time for play. Naps in offices could do wonders. Genuine regard for employees could reap more for employers and those the employer serves than anything else.

You will enjoy this post I just wrote! If she worked 10 hours, commutes an hour both ways, makes meals, does her own cleaning, eats breakfast and dinner, that equals 15 hours. One discretionary hour per day is not enough. Maybe you believe life is all work, but other people like to have time to square dance, have a hobby, run the City Council, volunteer, do their own errands, taxes, car repairs, laundry, home improvements, finances, pay bills, make investments, attend civic ceremonies, play with their children, exercise their pets, groom well, shop, arrange and complete medical and automotive appointments, take care of grandma and the widow down the block, go to church twice a week, clean the roof, maintain the landscaping, and so on.

I should pad my weekly work hours with similar bs, it would make me sound far more hardcore. Freak that i work 40 hour or less money means nothing. I just need enough to pay the bills and keep a roof over me. I constantly turn down overtime.

20 most common interview questions (and how to answer them)

Ive only worked passed 40 maybe 3 times in the past 5 years. For some people, work is fun though and exhilarating. I like to work as much as I feel is necessary to get the job done and deliver a quality product. Unfortunately though, I think the majority of workers are working for a salary. If you need to work 40 hours your inefficient. Chill out… you bought into the hype that you need all kinds of stuff. Keep it simple and work 15 to 20 hours and enjoy life….

Stay tuned for an upcoming post. Congratulations, you have become a well trained, good sheeple! Go ahead and work exorbitant hours, earn next to nothing, while your employer makes gazillions off of your broken back. Your relationships suck and your family life, if you have one, is horrible because the government raises your kids, and your spouse turns to food, drugs and alcohol, or someone else to ease the lonliness. You keep slaving for the man. We choose to live off grid, growing our own food, and providing love, life, and happiness for our families!
