would you take a paycut to keep working out?
« on: November 09, 2010, 07:22:55 PM »
Lets say you have a good job, working hard every day, like 10 hours a day.  the pay is really good, but you are completely exhausted by the time you get home to even think about working out.

so you really cut back on working out.  would you take an easier job (like 6 hours a day and not as demanding) in order to start working out again full time?

the difference?  about a 40% cut in pay.

(ie.  go from 250k, down to 160k...  or go from 80K down to 50k)... thoughts?

Of course.  Women care about one thing...MUSCLE MASS.  They could care less about a guy with a good job, financial stability, or a sound future.  It's about size, nothing else.

Mostly yes, but I would still have to be able to afford a descent lifestyle. 50 k a year hear is alright but I wouldn't do that in any major city.

'working hard 10 hours a day' is no way to live. fuck that. whats the point of living if your entire days are spent working? time is ultimately more important than money

bodybuilding is inextricably tied in to my mental health, cause i have insecuritya nd image issues


so yes, it would be worth it for me to make less money in exchange for being able to keep lifting

i could MAYBE sustain that lifestyle for a year tops. id save as much as i could and hold out as long as i could but i for one cannot live like that, its too taxing on my mental and physical health.

no what?

keep getting paid, and just workout on the weekend?

you asked if you would take a pay cut to keep working out.....my response is "No"

If you work 10 hours days, 7 days a week....you should be looking for another job anyway, regardless if you have the time to "workout" or not.
If money is a priority in your life..then no, dont take a paycut.

If you can make enough by working less because you want to workout...then yes....work less and workout.

pretty simple if you ask me.

why not work and nut up and workout as well?
