I find it sad, that people feel the need to work those kind of hours and not enjoy their life. You guys whom are claiming to work those amounts of hours are going to wake up one day and realize your life has passed you by.

If you have to work that much, to support yourselves then you are doing it wrong. You are either far too greedy for your own good or you are living far outside your means.

When you sit on your death bed and think about your life gone by.. Do you really think it matters if you have $10k in your bank or a million? You are dead regardless, the only thing which matters is your experances during life and the people you meet.
You are completely ignoring that some people enjoy the pursuit of a goal and the way it makes them feel when the goal is completed. You see them as wasting their life, they see it as building something they dreamed of.

I go in phases. There will be six months where I work all the time and six months where I have more fun than most do over the course of a few years. I would not trade either of them. For me, that's what I like, that's what keeps me going. Who am I to knock the way another lives?
