Actually, we should be the one laughing at you!


Enjoy level 2



Were we supposed to keep our charters a secret? I didn't get the memo

You're only sleeping 3 hours a night, every night? For two years? Without a break?

I don't think it's possible.

I think I recenty read a story of a guy who worked 2 jobs at about 90+ hours a week for 5 years, made about 90k a year, of course had no time to do "fun" stuff, and bought his house in cash at 35?


That was just a vague recollection of the story, if you can find it on google its very interesting.


I think we can do a lot of things, with drive, without obligations, we can train our bodies on a "cycle". However I do think 120 hours is possible, that's 6.something hours of sleep a day. You have 2 lunches you know. And say you live a half hour from work x 2. 10min for a shower, 50 min for "me" time... So, in the end 4 hours of sleep.

I still say it's very tough to do, especially if you have a commute.
