A 20-something office worker who works two part-time jobs after getting off work

The daily routine of a 20-something office worker who earns 5.45 million won a month while juggling three jobs is being highlighted.

In April, a post titled "Money is piling up, I'm doing three jobs lol" was shared on the anonymous employee community 'Blind'.

The author, referred to as Mr. A, stated that he earns 3.5 million won from his main job, 1.1 million won from a salad shop part-time job, and 850,000 won from cleaning a sauna.

Mr. A reports that he works at his main job from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., at the salad shop from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m., and then cleans the sauna from 10 p.m. to midnight.

To reduce food expenses, which make up a large part of an office worker's spending, Mr. A explained that he has breakfast and lunch at work and dinner at the salad shop.

In particular, he mentioned living in a studio room attached to the sauna for a monthly rent of 200,000 won, which is significantly lower than the market rate, and that he rotates between three sets of training clothes purchased from Ali to minimize his fixed costs.

Mr. A also stated that he incurs no transportation costs, saying, "All my workplaces are within a 20-minute walk from the sauna. It's a 10-minute walk to the office, 5 minutes to the salad shop, and 10 minutes to the sauna."

He added, "Basically, my main job is just pushing buttons, and now that I’m used to the salad shop, it’s not that hard," noting that, “The only challenging part is cleaning the sauna, but it's manageable while playing YouTube.”

Excluding weekends, Mr. A essentially works all day. He expressed pride in saying, "Coming from a junior college, I think I'm doing well," and added, "I'm 29 years old and have 12 million won left to reach 100 million won."

In response, some netizens commented, "Physical strength is also a skill, that's impressive," "He seems likely to succeed at whatever he does," and "It's great to work hard, but overdoing it could lead to regrets."

Meanwhile, the original post has since been deleted.
