Do you do it for the money or because you're really into it?

Bit of column A, bit of column B.

Money is good but on a per hr basis it’s not… also mental/physical health degradation is real. So you sort of have to be into it if you’re still here after Aso1.

Everyone has to work to live a decent life, so why not work a little harder than most to live a better life? End result hopefully being able to experience awesome places and things, enjoy some degree of luxury, or at the very least some financial security. Enjoying finance and deal making helps, it’s an intellectually challenging job

I really don’t know why I do this, I like the job tasks but I hate the hours - I honestly didn’t think it would be like this! Working 90 hours a week, FOR WHAT?

Have you ever taken a job you know you will hate because you needed the money right away? I have a family to take care of.

It's a matter of really ruining some of our financial future if we don't get money soon.

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
