    Once you retire, you will be too old and unhealthy to enjoy it.

    If you live in America, then one health crisis has the possibility of eating up all of your retirement savings, and the longer you live, the more likely you’ll end up dying destitute.

      I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again:

      Boss makes a million, I make a buck. That’s why I jerk it in the company truck.

    I have to admit, it feels like I have much more free time now then during studies. Now I finish my 8 hours and I do not have to worry about nothing. No assignments, no tests, no thesis… I even had the opposite problem, what should I do during the evening.

        That’s the beauty about part-time jobs: you only get part of the money part of the time!

      I’m trying to find a part-time job for that exact reason, but it’s really tough to find one. I mean, it’s tough to find a job in general at the moment, but the part-time requirement makes it even tougher. And like the other person said, it’s always a compromise between time and money, and not everybody can make such a compromise because they genuinely need a full-time salary.
