    Plus, that is not healthy. You'll start to have health issue if you'll do it for months. Maintaining a work life and personal life balance is very essential to a healthy life and success.

    When I was 20 I had 3 jobs, a 9-5 weekday, sat/sun market & 3 nights a week pub.
    When I was 30 I was studying and doing weekend college because I couldn't get time off work. I did 16 straight weeks of 7 days mix of work & college, it was incredibly hard.
    More recently I became self employed and pre Christmas tend to do 7 days a week starting at 5am and finishing when I'm falling over!
    It is hard work and only something to do in the short term, longer term might make you ill, depending on how robust a constitution you have

    For a short term gain, yeah its perfectly doable. In the long term, not at all. Work to live, not live to work.
    My personal worst is 32x12hour days on the run. Never again.
    Mortgage £242500 on completion
    FD CC 11/2014 £5900 (£3900 after BT)
    FD loan Approx £5700

    Deeply depressing total - £254100

    I did it for a couple of years, I had four part time jobs!! The money was wonderful and I invested most of it! BUT it isn't sustainable in the long term. By the end I didn't know if I was coming or going. Do it for the short term if you need to, to achieve your goals (mine was to increase savings) but know when to step back. I left three of the jobs in quick succession and have been happy with the one part time job ever since.
