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.

To each their own. I worked 10-12hrs+ daily (far more than 12 honestly) until I was comfortable, and once I was comfortable I programmed shit to run itself and took 2-3 years away from the computer completely. There is nothing wrong with working your ass off, many people apparently miss that point and get nowhere. You get what you put in.
The only reason I'm replying to your posting is because it's confusing to me how you cannot understand the concept of doing what needs to be done to survive? Some people have to work 1 hour a day and be OK and some people have to work 12 hours. What does it matter? Happiness in someones life and those around them does not come down to how many hours they work. That comes down to the effort they put into their non-work life. There are plenty of people who work 12+ hours a day and still maintain a happy lifestyle for themselves and those around them. And there are others who work less than 12 hours or not at all and do not live happily...
Your post is so misunderstanding I feel like it's trolling, but you have plenty of history here and are known so I don't understand why you would say such a thing.
I would have said exactly what Sly said but would rather not repeat so I'm just trying to add to it if anything.
