It is undeniable that to achieve a prosperous life, we need money to fulfill our many needs. Unfortunately, sometimes the basic salary obtained from the office alone cannot cover all the needs and savings to achieve a bright future. This causes many to end up working hard doing side jobs or starting a business outside of working hours which is quite time and energy consuming.

In fact, it's not just time and energy, who initially want to increase money, but eventually this habit of becoming a workaholic can threaten our financial safety too, especially if we don't have a good plan.

Being a workaholic means taking time that should be used to rest, if you are sick, you end up losing money

Workaholic means a condition in which a person prioritizes his work more than anything, including his own condition. If you are determined to work until you forget your break time and are always late to eat, various diseases can be lurking behind you. Instead of being able to add savings funds for the future, it might turn out that you only collect funds for medical and hospital costs because of this habit, not to mention if you are required to rest for days. Instead of profit, you can lose.

Working to and fro longer can make you more wasteful of food and transportation costs

Usually a workaholic will choose to order food that is more practical, for example through delivery services, fast food, and so on. In fact, if you calculate the cost of this meal, it tends to be more expensive than usual, not to mention additional costs such as coffee and snacks. If you continue to work in the office, it might be safe, but usually there are also meetings to attend that require more costs for transportation. If you don't bring your own vehicle and have to go home in the middle of the night, safe transportation options are usually also more expensive, such as taking a taxi.

Don't forget to also count your expenses for additional work, such as internet quota or similar needs

If you continue to work in the office, maybe this one thing will be safe because it is usually available but if you have to work outside of working hours then you need to calculate the additional costs needed, such as internet quota or similar needs. If at home it turns out that there is no fast connection, usually there are also those who choose to work in cafes which are usually more wasteful because they have to buy something there. If you don't calculate it correctly, you won't 'return your capital'.

So that your workaholic habits are not misguided and even harmful, you should first pay attention to a few things

Being a workaholic to meet income targets is fine but the pros and cons must be calculated. If it turns out that your spending during the 'overtime' is even more than what you get, it means that you are wasting your time and energy in vain. Don't forget, too, that spending a lot of time working is not the same as being productive. If you want to use your time effectively, then you can make a schedule to work on according to priorities. Don't forget about your health, eating and getting enough rest is also very important.

After all, to get additional income, you don't actually have to always be active overtime and focus on a job. Now, even while sitting still, you can earn passive income, one of which is by creating a blog on the internet.
