So what are the thoughts of "you" the population out there in the world? Can you be financially well off, without selling yourself out to working 80 hrs a week?

Brutha · 08-03-2008, 02:34 PM

Yes, the example of people like Steve shows that it's a possibilty.

Its very possible and there are hundreds of examples out there. You're going to have to put the hard work at the onset but if you work smart you can free yourself later on.

Depends on how you define being financially well off.
And it depends what you cal lworking 80 hours a week.

Around here you can make a decent living on halftime, 20 hours a week. If you want to live a normal wasteful life you can work 40 hours a week. This is for jobs like standing on an industry floor just doing repetitive boring stuff.

Yes, definitely.

You don't have to "work hard" or "sell your soul" to a company that rapes you of all your free time.

You just have to find something (or several things) that you love to do, pour your energy into those outlets, and find ways to make more money in less time.

I think being "financially well-off" definitely requires work, but not "hard work." It should be fun work...and you shouldn't be obligated to put in 80 hours a week.

I guess it depends on what you mean by "well off".

Some people would call "well off" having more time to enjoy life...regardless if they had to give up new cars and big houses.

Of course you can have it both ways if you get on track with your inner self.

Most people beat their heads against the wall in the rat race trying to make ends meet. Others find their real purpose and do just as well with minimal stress and effort.

Yes Yes and Yes!!! We have been taught to believe many limiting beliefs in regards to work and money and they are all false. Have you read the book "A Happy Pocket Full of Money"? I highly recommend it if you haven't. It will shine a whole new light on how you view money and the possibilities that you have before you.

When I was working a JOB (just over broke) I felt like I would never get ahead even though I was making over $70,000 a year. The time away from my family seemed so out of line with my values. Everything changed for me when I followed my intuition and passions and can proudly say that I will never work for anyone else ever again. I work 20 to 30 hours a week and have far surpassed my previous income.

It's out there, just be open and always be attracting what you want most.

Believe it or not, some people really like 80 hour work weeks

(no, not me). Also depends on what you mean with "financially well off". I live of less then $1400 a month. Works for me but for some its not even their rent.

Ponce · 08-05-2008, 01:27 AM

The answer is YES, at least it worked for me......... even now I am making money while doing nothing, once you find the right square hole for your squared head you will have it made in the shade
