Is your paycheck worth missing weekends with your family?
There are 5 levels of money. Level 2 is what I call worth it money. It’s the income where you would choose this career again, on purpose, knowing exactly what it takes from you.
If you’re in sales, you know what it takes. Saturdays. Sundays. Black Friday. Missing your kid’s 6 o’clock game because a hot lead wants to meet tonight. Watching your friends make weekend plans you can’t join because they’re off and you’re not.
Here’s the test for Level 2. Can your family point to what those weekends paid for?
Your spouse and your kids gave up that time too. They’re paying for this career right alongside you. The money has to buy something real for them.
If you had to pick this profession all over again and you’d still say yes, you’re at Level 2.
And this goes way past sales. Nurses, contractors, business owners, first responders. Anyone whose job asks for nights and weekends has to answer this question.
So be honest. Would you choose your job again? Tell me YES or NO in the comments.
And tag the person who gave up those weekends with you.
