A woman who 'hates' working has revealed how she is juggling two full-time jobs in a bid to retire in her early 30s.
Jane, who has chosen not to disclose her surname, is just 24 but already has her sights set on enjoying the sweet life of retirement.
The young woman, who is based in Toronto, Canada, currently works around 73 hours a week working as both a marketing specialist and customer service representative.
The jobs earn her a combined income of $120,000 a year - much of which she puts away to save for a more relaxed future.

'I really hate working, so I'm motivated to work twice as hard to get there twice as fast,' Jane said.
Both of her current positions are remote. Her marketing work earns her $80,700 a year, while she gets $18 an hour, plus commission for her customer service role.
She recently filmed a typical day in her life on TikTok, chronicling her long day working back-to-back jobs.
For the marketing job, she works 9am to 5pm, with a one-hour lunch break in between, before immediately clocking on for a 5pm to 9pm shift in customer service.
The post went viral, garnering nine million views, and other TikTok users questioned whether her heavy workload was worthwhile.
One person commented: 'Is it really worth wasting your youth to retire a few years earlier?'
'Sitting and staring at a screen all day,' another person said.
Someone else added: 'You'll retire without memories, life experiences or friends.'

But for Jane it's all worth it for that end goal of being financially free in under a decade
'I respect the grind but remember to live life,' said one follower.
Another user commented: 'I could not sit from 9am to 10pm.'
But for Jane it's all worth it for that end goal of being financially free in under a decade.
She said: 'I took on a second full-time job during the pandemic when everything switched to remote working. I now work around 70-73 hours a week.
'My goal is to retire by my early 30s. "Retirement" to me is kind of more aligned with the FI/RE financial independence retire early definition, which broadens to include living frugally or making money in non-traditional ways.'
According to NerdWallet, 'Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) is a lifestyle movement that prioritizes extreme saving and investing in order to retire earlier than traditional methods might allow.
'FIRE investors aim to achieve financial freedom so they can choose how to spend their time.
'People who use FIRE to retire early do so by drastically reducing their expenses, looking for ways to increase their income, and investing the money they save in a mix of tax-advantaged accounts as well as regular brokerage accounts.'
