A woman who “hates” working has revealed she is juggling two full-time jobs in a bid to retire in her early 30s.
Jane, who has chosen not to share her surname, is just 24, but already has her sights set on enjoying the sweet life of retirement before long.
The young woman currently works around 73 hours a week, working as a marketing specialist and customer service representative respectively.

The jobs earn her a combined income of $120,000 (£68,707) a year – much of which she puts away to save for a more relaxed future.
“I really hate working so I’m motivated to work twice as hard to get there twice as fast,” Jane, from Toronto, Canada, told Absolutely Business.
Both of Jane’s current positions are remote, with the marketing work earning her $80,700 a year, while she gets $18 an hour plus commission for her customer service role.
She filmed a typical day in her life on TikTok, chronicling the long working day working back-to-back jobs.
For the marketing job, she works 9am-5pm with a one-hour lunch break in between, before immediately clocking on for a 5pm-9pm shift in customer service.
The post went viral, garnering nine million views – and TikTokkers questioned whether her heavy workload was worthwhile.
One person commented: “Is it really worth wasting your youth to retire a few years earlier?”
“Sitting and staring at a screen all day,” another person said.
Someone else added: “You’ll retire without memories, life experiences or friends.”
“I respect the grind but remember to live life,” said one follower.
Another user commented: “I could not sit from 9am-10pm.”
But for Jane, it’s all worth it for that end goal of being financially free in under a decade.
She said: “I took on a second full-time job during the pandemic when everything switched to remote working.
“I now work around 70-73 hours a week.
“My goal is to retire by my early 30s.
“‘Retirement’ to me is kind of more aligned with the FI/RE financial independence retire early definition, which broadens to include living frugally or making money in non-traditional ways.”
