I want to earn money really fast. How much overtime should I work each week?

How much is available?
How much can you manage without it severely harming your well-being and quality of life?

Without knowing anything about your job, I think generally overtime should just be a short term occasional thing.

I wouldnt recommend making it a habit that you do every week because it will impact your quality of life to spend too much time working.

If you are a salaried employee then you will be expected to work about the same amount of overtime as everyone else.

I wouldn't overdo it, especially when you're starting out and still learning the job.

It's UPS, so there's no limit on how much I can work.

The only thing that motivates me in life is money. Plus I can use money to buy a nice house and attract women.

Then work as much overtime as you can handle. But keep your options open for those times you aren't feeling strong enough to do much overtime.
