Why Working Harder Truly Pays Off

Are you one of the few people you know that work holidays and long hours? You may be jealous of your friends now, but in the long run, it's going to be you that is "living the life."

Ability to take a vacation whenever you want

You may work longer hours and more days then your friends, but that also means you are making more money than them. You don't need to second guess vacations. If you want to go (and have enough vacation days) you are going. Even if it's just for a weekend. Work hard, play hard.

Being independent means success

What's better than being able to afford something you want? Being able to buy it brand spanking new and be able to add whatever options you want. Plus that new car smell is so nice.

Having the ability to splurge

You have the ability to spend on what you want because you know how hard you worked to get it. And next week, you're going to do it all over again. Therefore, you can spend your hardworking money how you like.

Know how to save & how much to save

Making money is completely different than having money. You need to know how to do both. This doesn't mean you need to be cheap. You just need to be aware.

Having your own place

The ability to pay a mortgage and still be able to have a social and enjoyable life is the key. To work hard in your twenties will benefit you in your fifties.

Give yourself a pat on the back

And most importantly, working hard is good for the soul. It makes you understand the value of a dollar and will allow you to appreciate all you have. Thank yourself. You deserve it.
