A woman who “hates” working has revealed how she juggles two full-time jobs in a bid to retire in her early 30s.
Jane, who has chosen not to reveal her last name, is only 24 years old but already has her sights set on enjoying the sweet life of retirement.
The young woman, who resides in Toronto, Canada, currently works around 73 hours a week as a marketing specialist and customer service representative.
These jobs bring him a combined income of $120,000 a year, much of which he saves for a more relaxed future.

“I really hate working, so it motivates me to work twice as hard to get there twice as fast,” Jane said.
Both of his current positions are remote. His marketing job brings in $80,700 a year, while he earns $18 an hour, plus a commission for his customer service role.
He recently filmed a typical day in his life on TikTok, chronicling his long day working back-to-back jobs.
For the marketing job, you work from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, with a one-hour lunch break, before immediately clocking in for a 5:00 pm to 9:00 pm shift in customer service.
The post went viral, garnering nine million views, with other TikTok users questioning whether her heavy workload was worth it.
One person commented: ‘Is it really worth wasting your youth to retire a few years early?’
“Sitting and staring at a screen all day,” another person said.
Someone else added: “You will retire without memories, life experiences or friends.”

But for Jane, it’s all worth it to achieve the ultimate goal of being financially free in less than a decade.
“I respect the routine, but remember to live life,” said one follower.
Another user commented: ‘I couldn’t sit from 9am to 10pm.’
But for Jane, it’s all worth it to achieve the ultimate goal of being financially free in less than a decade.
She said: ‘I took on a second full-time job during the pandemic when everything changed to remote working. Now I work between 70 and 73 hours a week.
‘My goal is to retire when I’m in my early 30s. To me, “retirement” is more aligned with FI/RE’s early retirement definition of financial independence, which expands to include living frugally or earning money in non-traditional ways.
According Nerdy Wallet‘Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) is a lifestyle movement that prioritizes extreme saving and investing to retire earlier than traditional methods might allow.
‘FIRE investors aim to achieve financial freedom so they can choose how to spend their time.
“People who use FIRE to retire early do so by dramatically reducing their expenses, looking for ways to increase their income, and investing the money they save in a combination of tax-advantaged accounts and regular brokerage accounts.”
