[QUOTE="2400, post: 221109, member: 3254"] You only have so many hours per lifetime and you don't know how many hours you get either. It won't make much difference to work all those hours for the big bucks if you drop dead next week and miss time with your wife and kids this week. Something to think over. Well said! I worked 60-80 hours a week for several decades, that was one of the stupidest things I've ever done. My advise is to slow up and take time to relax. In my experience work is work and any other time is NOT work, stick to that and you'll be much happier. Yup, work is work, nothing more nothing less. Exactly, is it worth the 500 extra hours for the new truck, boat, whatever or is it better to spend that time with your family? Yup, as I look back simpler was a lot better and I was happier too. The wife spending to keep is your problem to figure out. Yup, sometimes a clear honest look in the mirror beats a kick in the ass from someone else. It took me a while to figure that out. Well said! Yup, work is work and NOT work is NOT work. It took me a lot of decades to get that figured out. Yup, sure did for me. I wish I knew then what I know now. Yup, counted and counted and missed a lot along the way. Good thinking. Sounds like your time with your girls is well spent. I'll bet rough looking or not it doesn't matter to anyone but you. I was in the Navy and then worked for the Govt for 16 years and out of all that time was in the US maybe a year and a half total. I had some good times and went some cool places but I was NEVER home. I had 2 different companies and worked 60-80 hours a week 52 weeks a year and some weeks were 100+ hours. Looking back I could have worked half the hours and had ten time the fun. NOBODY ever laid on their death bed and said "damn I was I had spent more time at work". [/QUOTE]
