I heard this on the show Alone last night. The guy who won because he was able to survive the longest in the woods said it. The winner gets $500,000. Each of the contestants said the money would be life changing. That they'd never have to work again. One guy who dropped out cried at the idea he had to go back to drywalling. One woman lived in her car. If she won she was going to pimp out her car so it had a stove, refrigerator, etc...
It is so true. We spend our best years 8-5pm plus the commute. Luckily I don't have a commute I work from home. And a lot of times I can knock off at 4pm. I can even take my laptop to the hunting property or Florida and work anywhere in the USA really as long as I have internet connection. And I make good money. Still, just like everyone else, in the end I will have spent 40 years working 9 hour days. Ever add up all that time? What a waste. But if you like/love what you do it isn't as bad. And if you make a lot of money. But even my friends who are rich want to retire early. They don't care about the big salary once they have enough.
