I'm saying you have a OT baller job, you get a substantial pay increase after 3:30 PM everyday, but when you are getting taxed 39%, do you kill youself for the bigger checks or do you find a # to shoot for, for best capital gains and lifestyle?

What an odd open ended question.

If you aren't making OT money and are getting taxed 25%, do you still kill yourself?

Isn't it relative?

I would lower my taxable income. If that is not an option I would make the decision based on where I consider where my quality of life takes a hit. Working 50hrs a week is doable without sacrificing much of a home life, especially if you can telecommute 1 or 2 days a week. Flex scheduling is also a nice option.

I'm working an extra 6 hours a week. I'll gross $600 a month for that extra 6 hours. $25 an hr.

Salary 47k

Wife is at home for a while with a newborn soon so the extra cheese will help a little.
