Social A poor workaholic = Loser.

If you are putting in executive hours and still being paid like someone who clocks out after 40 hours then you are simply playing yourself.

Yup. Not to mention creating a race to the bottom that makes others in similar roles miserable too.
 
LOOOOOOOL at the workaholic losers getting angry in here. OP never said hard work is overrated, he said people working 60+ hours have nothing going on in their lives, which is largely true.

You have 80 years of life and thats it. If you spend the majority of your weeks exceeding normal working hours then you basically have nothing to live for other than serving someone else's needs. Its absolutely pathetic.

I've worked a job where I was on call for evenings and weekends to handle situations while earning 110k. I now work from home for 7.5 hours a day processing files for a non profit at 60k and my life is 100x more enjoyable even while making 50k less a year.

Stay mad workaholics. Keep grinding towards that mirage in the distance you say will make you happy. By the time you know it death will be on its way and you'll look back and say the thing most people say on their death beds:

"I wish I hadn't spent so much time working, I wish I had fun or pursued a dream."

Go look up what the biggest deathbed regrets are, seriously. "I wish I didn't work so hard..."

I get what you mean

My point was you can work hard for x amount of years and still have nothing.

Well yeah. There's no guarantees to anything in life and there's no roadmap to success (which itself is a pretty nebulous destination).

Someone who tries to build something for themselves might fail at building something for themselves. But someone who does not try to build something for themselves will almost certainly fail at building something for themselves. The OP mentioned people working side hustles, which I take to mean running some kind of small business on the side. Small businesses don't suddenly start returning 6-figures to their founders the moment the business is incorporated. It takes a lot of time and hard (and smart *wink wink*) work to make it successful and profitable. If you look at someone starting a business and think "lol what an idiot, he's not even getting paid" then the entire point goes over your head to begin with. "You" being used generally here, not directly meaning you, Cole Train.

Of course the OP was incredibly vague so we're all kind of assuming what he means.

Oh yeah if you got some kind of goal you should go for it.

Less what ifs and regrets that way
