I’m 21, male, out of shape, and about $6k in debt. I’m trying to turn my life around financially and physically, but I’m stuck on what the smarter move is.
Option 1: Work two jobs, 6 days a week. One job is 6am–2pm and the other is 6:30pm–4:30am. Doing this would bring in around $6,500/month and I could probably wipe out my debt pretty fast.
Option 2: Work one job from 6pm–4:30am with overtime. I’d make around $4,500/month, but I’d actually have time to go to the gym, sleep properly, and focus on getting healthier.
Part of me feels like I should grind hard for 2 months, kill the debt, and then focus on my health after. But another part of me feels like working that much with barely any sleep could mess me up physically and mentally.
Has anyone been in a similar situation? What would you do?
