Unless your Bill Gates or Warren Buffet, there is always someone more rich than you are and someone more poor than you are. Try to make as much money as you can while still enjoying life!!!

Is that person a saver or spender? Now, what if I told you that he made $100,000 this month, and all his expenses are on his credit card? $10,000 is a huge amount of money, but saving 90% is AWESOME. (This deserves capital letters, don’t you think?)" Saving 90% is better than awesome. It's....well, it's super awesome! “If I told you that someone’s credit card bill is $10,000 this month.

Each person needs to find their "enough" level at some point in their life. And then ENJOY! For me, under $20,000 is still "more than enough"... and I live well. And Time - the older one gets - seems way more important than money anymore! I think for each 'season' of your life there is a different level of 'enough'... And yes - it's all about attitude - and it IS all in your head - and your heart! Enjoy! Having “enough” is a different level for all of us.

If you can't find a good company that treats their employees right in your industry, try another. For example, cell phone manufacturers might have insane hours, but printer companies might not. You can still be in the same field but in a totally different industry. I know people in the electronic design field that work 8 hours a day and no more, while I know others who work 18 hour days constantly.

I have worked at three companies in electronic design in my career (two in Orange County, one outside the State), and while some were better than others, it is clear to me that the companies depend on free overtime in their business plans. The schedules are simply too aggressive to complete with 40 hour weeks, given the staffing levels! I guess it depends on your industry, David.

I wish more companies would offer programs outside of work so their employees have a more balanced life. I bet it will create a happier mood, and everything gets done at a quicker pace too. On another note... For everyone who is reading this and wished they don't have to work overtime without compensation, consider finding a similar job at a different company. I find that, more often than not, the overtime mentality is largely on either the supervisor or the company itself, so if you aren't making more but is being unfairly treated, brush up your resume! The economy is bad, but there are still employers who are hiring. Well said. I wish more companies would offer programs outside of work so their employees have a more balanced life.

I believe it's difficult to achieve efficiency in a standard 9-5 type job, because you aren't rewarded for it. With a job, the faster you get tasks done, the more is shoved your way and the longer hours you end up working. If anything, I would suggest most people to work their day job and have a side business, where they really work on their efficiency. Some people may even find that having a second income will give them added confidence to perform better at their primary jobs too. I haven’t read the 4 hour workweek, but I’ve heard great things.

Some workaholics may just have to work that much so that they can make enough money to support their family. Certain situations call for different attitudes/adjustments that must be made to fully adapt to the environment. I totally agree with you, Craig.
