Re: How many hours a week do you work?

My dh works about 60 hours a week, usually 7days a week. He gets paid by the hour, but he does not get any overtime pay. He wants to take off more, but people just want their stuff done and don't think he should take off.

Re: How many hours a week do you work?

I work 40 hours a week usually. More hours does NOT mean more money for me; I earn "comp time" instead of overtime pay. So on days when I fly to Sacramento early in the morning and come back late at night, I actually "earn" a day off.

I don't have bills to pay off. I could get a second job to increase savings, but I like to have my free time, plus, I am able to do a lot of thrifty things because I have the time-sometimes people working a lot (plus a commute, which bless me I don't have) skip some frugal things.

All of em..I am a mom, I don't even get sleep off, I make milk and way to often feed it to my youngest in the wee hours. But as for 'paid work' none..no one pays me for anything......

DH works 40 most weeks, but he gets enough overtime a year to keep us afloat on the bills. but not so much that he would lose out on the kids lives.

Retired.

Currently work between 7 and 12 hours a week bookkeeping for a small local non-profit. Occasionally, I'll work more to cover the manager's absences, holidays and the like. I could certainly work more, but my free time is of greater value to me. After 32 years on someone else's schedule, it feels good to live on my own.

Re: How many hours a week do you work?

i do 40/week, but when the overtime is there, i jump all over it. i am also getting a $2.30 raise in 3 months, and even though it will be nice to do the overtime and make the extra $, it won't be as necessary as it is now.

I work 40 hours at blue cross blue shield
I work about 15 hours waitressing and bartending
I work about 10 hours bookkeeping for a paint contractor.
I am hoping to get rid of any and all debt we have and just get to the basics! of course as noted above and not saying it is because of the schedule, I have come down with an infection that has caused me to lose my voice. the kids however love it!

I have a 9/80 work schedule, with every other Monday off. So one week I work M-F 44 hours and the next week I get Monday off and work Tu-Fri 36 hours, not including lunch break. Paid hourly, no overtime allowed

0. I'm currently a law student and per the ABA rules, first-year law students cannot work during the academic year. I am ready for summer to get here so that I can make some cash!

Re: How many hours a week do you work?

40-5 hrs - landscaping
5-10 hrs - managing a website

It was so much easier when I was in school, I usually only worked 20-30 hour weeks. If I could afford it, I'd say it was time to go back.
