"I work 60 hours most weeks.

And somehow, I still feel like I’m struggling to get by.

At some point you have to ask yourself:

What’s the point of working this hard if you never get to enjoy your life?

Something needs to change."

60 hrs a week? That's just slavery. This is not an enjoyable life and has to change. I just assume USA, never heard anyone working 6Ohrs a week. Unless it's one's passion and one also has no hobbies or life.

Heck, I don't even work 60 hours a year. And even those I would prefer to do other stuff.

    Sorry man, you guys really have it worst (of the so called civilized world). Why not piss off? You already speak a global language and everyone pities muricans anyway, so no hate. Canada? Some place in the EU? i know a handful who moved here and now don't understand why it took so long. You might be still poor here, but at least your shit is cared for, even if not 100% optimal.

    It's a nice thought, the wife would go but not without the daughter and she Isn't. I'm too old to want to get rid of everything and start again and too poor to move anything with me. Nope - I'm in it for the whole ride.

    If you've got kids you do what you gotta do. It sucks. I've watched it kill a man in 50 years.

    Kids? In these times? Unless you're filthy rich? It's just making new slaves for the master.

    And it kills a man probably much earlier. His body just stays alive longer
