About 15 years ago I worked with a guy from Bangladesh who worked at our place 6 days a week and then every Sunday at a gas station. He lived with a bunch of roommates. He was willing to sacrifice in order to send as much money as possible back to his family. That guy inspired me to work 7 days of week for many years and I have since except for a few layoffs during the recession.

What language barrier? India has more English speakers than any country on earth.
Do you know what MDs make? Or bigtech software engineers? Yeah, they "figured out" how to buy homes. They also don't have 400k in med school debt like Americans if they received their degrees abroad.
Pretty much any immigrant from anywhere works 6-7 days a week, BTW. That's the whole point. You didn't leave your country, culture and family to play video games and smoke pot. Hell, I'm lazy, and worked 7 days a week for a few years out of college. Some nights, I would go home, take a shower, and go back to work, no rest.
