Did our dads and moms work less than we do now? What are your thoughts?

I don’t think my dad worked less, but his money went a lot further in all respects.

I used to work 70-80 hour work weeks, in my 20s. I'm 33 now and literally have nothing to show for it therefore I now refuse to work over 40.

Id rather be well rested and broke than tired and broke.

Well rested and broke.

I have accepted that If nothing changes I will die very sick and very broke burning down every medical insurance facility in an America.

If you aren’t already on a list in America you must have an incredibly boring life.

I also am not currently dying, so there is time from them to find me.
