Two Jobs and Retire Early?

70_hours_week wonders: "A Survey of teachers in a Nevada school district indicate that 40% have a second job. Do you have a second job? Assume you are 30 and since you like to save your money you could semi-retire by age 50. Now, what if you could nearly double your salary working a second job and that meant you could semi-retire at age 40. Would you do it?"

    Retiring early is a terribly strong incentive, but then again so is a mortgage note.

    You only working tree jobs? My great grandmother is working eight jobs. And I'm working seventeen jobs. Oh look here comes my lovely daughter who's working 5 jobs. "Hey dad, here's a brain surgeon I'm dating." "What else does he do?" "Nothing, he works a highly paid position where he helps people." "Ah he's working only one job, you lazy bastard, get away from my daughter."

    That's just silly. Two full-time jobs would mean twice as much time to read Slashdot. :)

    Come on, she needs the room in the SUV to hold the 2nd change of clothes she needs just in case something happens so she can work her 2nd job in order to pay for the SUV. Didn't you read the article man?

    She'll be back. My small penis is kind of a dick. When she gets tired of him she'll come home.

    Oh, you mean she'll leave me BECAUSE of my small penis?! Well, then I'd suggest you put
    the bong down, relax, quite giggling, and have somebody help you with the preview.
