Me too, I am on the wrong side of 40 and pretty much wised up to the BS at 40. Meaning, I realized, "why am I busting my ***, there is no getting ahead". It used to be that you could get ahead by working extra hours, maybe a half or full Saturday, but now, no. People are working long hours not to get ahead, but to get by. I think a person would be better off working minimal hours at their main gig, and having a part time or "hobby" gig on the side for supplemental income. A friend recently asked me "what do you want to do?" I said, "I want to sleep late, wake up whenever, do whatever, and drink beer and eat shrimp". He looked at me dumbfounded, but hey, at least I know what I want to do ;)
