Had a friend who did something similar in the early aughts before remote work was a thing in order to buy a townhome outright without any mortgage. He had a day job as a developer until 3:30pm. He would then come home, shower, eat dinner and then head off to a night data entry job for another company until around midnight or so. His main job was salaried, his data entry job was hourly with bonuses for how much he could get done.

It took him about 18 months to hit his goal, while still paying all his bills and rent. The one thing he said was it took a huge toll on his health/mental wellbeing and said he spent another year getting back into shape and getting healthy again.

The other interesting thing was he said he got a lot of perspective about why people chase money and how it can be really unhealthy.

His subsequent replies are hilarious. I sometimes feel like I am doing this but with one job, and not on purpose… just because I’m a single dad of a young kid. It’s often just not possible to work more than 1/4 to 1/2 of the workday and keep him safe. Public school is only about 9-2pm. I don’t know how most people manage to have both kids and a job.

Wow what a legend.
