“I want to gain financial freedom ASAP” – Gen Z Works 4 Jobs & Saves Over RM60k in Under a Year

A young woman in Fujian, China spends MOST of her day working, and she’s tied to not one, not two, but four jobs.

In a viral post on Douyin by @仔仔非常爱生活, the young woman in her early 20s admitted to the harsh truth that one full-time job CANNOT cover all expenses. In the hope of achieving financial freedom as soon as possible, she decided to take on multiple jobs at once – at the cost of having VERY limited leisure time due to her tight working schedule.

Due to the massive responsibility she has to carry on her shoulders, the young woman said she only has about four hours of sleep most of the time.

“My full-time job starts at 5:30 AM, so I have to get up at 4 in the morning. My shift ends at 5:30 PM but of course, I have break time in between.”

She works a full-time job in the food & beverage industry, and she was seen doing prep and cleaning work in the kitchen based on her daily vlog in her Douyin video. Expectedly, her daily life did not end after the 12 long hours. She continues to hustle in her other jobs, which include being a cinema usher.

“After I get off work, I work 2 other part time jobs and run my own website. I can only sleep around 12:30 AM.”

Doesn’t she feel tired of the workload and her hectic life? Here’s what she had to say about being occupied.

“It’s more tiring to make only RMB2,000 (approximately RM1,230) a month and struggle to live with it. I make more money with multiple jobs so it’s worth it.”

According to her, she makes around RMB10,000 (approximately RM6,180) a month from doing 4 different jobs. The significant increase in her monthly wages has allowed her to contribute more to her savings and in just less than a year, she managed to save a whopping RMB100,000 (approximately RM61,700)!

She also said that she has always had the habit of saving money since she was a child.

The more you work, the more you earn and logically speaking, it will cost you your leisure time when your peers are out there having fun. Are you up for this kind of sacrifice?
