The irritating thing is I live paycheck to paycheck…. But I don’t have to. I work 4 on 4 off 12s. And I could easily work 1 OT day a week and I would have my credit cards payed off and start accruing savings in like 2 months (I do like 1 ot day a month if that, right now it’s like 1 every other month)
But the thought of losing 3 or 4 more days off a month just feels awful to me. I don’t hate my job but I love my time off. I feel like a bad person for this. Like there are a ton of people who are in poverty or who live paycheck to paycheck and they don’t have a a choice. I do but I’m just… lazy? I’m not sure what to do with that information. I’m also a little afraid I would just spend the extra money, I’m not fantastic with money (but saving well for retirement with my 401k so there’s that)
Any advice?
