Would you work more hours at work if you don't CURRENTLY need extra money?

I'd like to move out next year but it probably won't happen simply because I graduate in May and [b]probably[/b] won't get a good job until I have a degree. That being said, I don't see a real point in myself working extra hours for a while (until school starts back) because I don't have anything to [b]do[/b] with it. If I have more money, I'm gonna buy more things, which I don't need, more junk food etc.

So, would you work extra hours if you didn't particularly need extra money NOW? Sure something could come up but the question remains..

It's always good to have something to fall back on in case of an emergency. I guess the answer for me would depend on my energy levels and what other things I would have to do during the week.

@cherokeepatti right. I only have one month out of school. I usually go to school a couple days a week, and do homework and things through the week. Then work 8 hour days on weekends and repeat. This is the only time I get a break and I'm trying to see if I want to spend it working extra hours. I'm enjoying waking up with nothing that NEEDS accomplishing

@iamnikki sounds like you need a little break

iamnikki · 31-35, F

@cherokeepatti I really do. I've done absolutely nothing this first week. Need to make plans

Yeah, maybe. Depends on how I felt about the job and if I had a lot of other things going on in my life at the time. I would just put the extra money in savings.

I always work late hours, I enjoy what I do. Sometimes it can become stressful but I love my job

I could. I wouldn't mind it. I would make sure that money gets used wisely in the long run. I have some repayments I could get ahead on if I wanted to. I don't have much going on in my life anyway, so it's not like work will be getting in the way.

On the other hand, I value my leisure time quite a bit. I don't really need to do anything to enjoy my day. Sometimes I just want to do nothing, and I'm okay with that. I'm flexible at this stage in my life

Yes, I enjoy my job.

I always do at least a couple of hours extra every day and work weekends as well.
