On average they make me work 11-12 hours a day. But they pay a lot more. Been going to the new job since 14 days.

Is this the manager role in the same company that you talked about a month back?

Hot secretaries to bone and lots of money = worth 11-12 hours a day

My advice is to suck it up for at least 2 months. After that, quit and spend your cash.

Right, this is what I've been doing for a while. Dig in your heels and work tons of hours, stock up some money, then slow down a bit and coast on your earnings while focusing on better things. Then jump back into nigwork when you need to refuel.
It's not ideal, but kind of a sustainable inevitability right now.
Of course, there are a couple of other things to be considered. One is that in the "coasting" period, you run the risk of not being able to jump back on the green gravy train, which has hobbled me in the past.
The other, which I'm looking into and think you may want to also Imran, is the option of working purely in exchange for room and board.

etc.
It's a bit daunting and frightening to think of throwing myself into the world like that, but then again it seems like the ideal way to engage in real-time exploration of the ideas of freedom and peace. You don't even have to sacrifice internet, creature comforts, generally aren't expected to work more than 25-30 hours of work per week, and in some cases there's opportunity for a modest wage and advancement in evolving communities/companies.
