Overtime

MartialArtMan

I worked my socks off in August accumulating 72 hours in overtime, that's almost an extra 2 weeks work! At time and three quarters that amounts to a healthy amount on top of my basic salary. Just wanted to share as I'm proud of myself for doing it Shame it's all going on debt, I may just treat myself though as an incentive to keep it up.

And so may it continue for September.

I said this in another post but I'll repeat it here:

I've been a fool really, I've been looking for all different ways to earn some extra cash when I could've just done some o/t and earnt more than I could by coming up with these "schemes" I've been trying Just been looking for an easy (lazy) way out... Live and learn eh, there's no easy way out

Well done MartialArtMan (great name). Have come to the same conclusions myself. Stupidly I sort out the OT budget and allocate at work, we have a big underspend and people don't want to work it. Why haven't I been blinking working it myself? Head in sand mentality mostly.

When something needs to be bought, or services paid for, work out how many hours you will have to work to pay for it, then decide if you want it that much?You might save more that way.

Why is it I can give advice, but don't practice what I preach?
