Me - probably 50. Spaced evenly over the 7 days, I think.

My official hours are 42 1/2 per week.
But when over time kicks in I can easily double that.

nzmusclemonster · « **Reply #2 on:** November 07, 2009, 03:54:22 PM »

I'm supposed to work 40, but with 2 hour lunch breaks and constant absenteeism, I'd say I do around 25-30.

Considering the fact that I am now actively running four different businesses, I've had to step up my working hours,
...so it's up to about 10 hours a week now, but I can do it from anytime from any location as long as I have a phone and an internet connection. I can do my 10 hours a week from anywhere....

...on the beach...

...even in the pool...

{sigh} life can be tough sometimes.

ps: I am planning to cut back my workload in the new year though. There's a lot of travelling I wanna do.

I run online direct sales / network marketing or MLM businesses that produce passive residual income,
...whether I get out of bed in the morning or not. These businesses market a variety of in demand products and services across a number of different industries, that produce significant repeat business. They require very little time or effort to administer. The biggest chunk of time invested is actually travelling to the bank to cash my checks... sometimes the lineups can be horrendous.

My latest venture is pretty cool, because they pay instantly, and they only have two pay levels. Your first check is $500^.oo and every check thereafter is $10,000^.oo. No waiting til the end of the week, or the end of the month to get paid, ...as soon as you earn $10,000^.oo, it's instantly deposited into your account. Yesterday my friend Bob made $20,000^.oo in one day. What's especially nice is I don't have to brave the cold to deposit funds. I can instantly have those funds electronically deposited or wired to any bank account in the world, or to a credit card. It's great for when you're travelling and away from home. There's nothing worse than having to cut your vacation short in order to fly home to deposit a check before it goes void in 90 days.

I'm in the office for around 36 hours maximum with an average of 30/week. I might preform actual work for 5-10 hours a week though

. I run my side business (ornamental nursery) during the spring and summer also.

That's not calling bullshit. That's simply saying you don't understand and would like more information.
I'm happy to provide it. Please check your PMs

I'm supposed to work 40, but with 2 hour lunch breaks and constant absenteeism, I'd say I do around 25-30.

Ditto. Start 0900, lunch from 1200 to 1400, leave around 1630. So 5.5*4 + 3 (I work 4.5 days) = exactly 25 hours per week. And counting the non-stop internet usage when actually behind my desk my true working hours are far less. Maybe 15-20 per week. But it's one of those jobs where you have to be present, just in case shit hits the fan.

And considering that 25% of the people working under me earn more than me, I feel absolutely no guilt about it either.

Ted SuperSet · « **Reply #21 on:** August 06, 2018, 03:33:55 PM »

45 hours a week.

leshion · « **Reply #22 on:** November 08, 2018, 03:58:23 AM »

40 hours a week for my day job and 15 hours a week for my side hustle which is basically managing the websites I created on the website builder, hPage: https://www.hpage.com. I got those websites monetized so I kinda earn passive income from ads and affiliate marketing but I still have to write articles, answer e-mails, and do some marketing for them.

I used this basic idea to retire early. I still work maybe an hour a day but haven't needed a real job in 8 years.

Deadpool · « **Reply #24 on:** January 24, 2019, 06:25:05 PM »

always worked two jobs to retire early.

BUT WHAT ABOUT THE WHEELS, 240?
