Would you work 6 and a half days a week if your yearly salary doubled?

Not to get to specific but have a similar oppurtunity right now. NO VACATION for one year pretty much nothing but work and close to a 75% raise (already make low 6 figs). No kids but a girlfriend and 2 dogs. Think I may go for it. Can build a HUGE bankroll.

Depends !! On HOW much the government is going to lock up from the extra funds. It might be more than you think!!!

no. I have had the same oppurtunity and would rather spend time with my family (and poker/gambling) then make more money at work. I guess it all depends on whether you can "make do" with what you are currently making.

i worked 7 days a week once for a entire 10-month stretch when i was doing some contrator work in the Middle East. but it gave me a tax-free, 6-figure income that went straight into my bank account!

it was definitely worth it! if you have that chance, jump on it. when the day comes that you finish up, and you log into your online checking account and see $XXX,XXX sitting in your bank...you'll see what i mean!!!

go for it bro! especially since you don't have any attachments (wife, kids, etc.)

I'm 26 and make 6 fig plus.
I usually work 6 days week-but rarely more than 8 hrs a day.
I've done it for a couple of years and will do it for probably a couple more-but that's it.
Work is definately healthy-but it depletes you.
Money manipulates your ambitions, so don't get caught up in only the money.
Sounds like you don't have anything holding you back-I definately recommend going for it as long as you can.
If you get sick of it, or it doesn't work out-what's the worst that can happen?
You can start over doing something else.
That is what life is.
GL, I'm sure it is probably a complex decision to make.

Do you guys realize that almost every bookmaker/owner offshore works 6 and 7 days a week, 12 hours plus every day?

I have 100% commission job, which I love.I am 34 years old but think the reason i can and will do this is because of my age. Could have NEVER did this 10 years ago. Way to much of a social life:drink:
