I used to work 300 hr months for years.

I had one of those, and then decided that if being self-employed was this, I'd rather live under a bridge.

I will never understand purely career oriented personalities. I work so I can enjoy not working, I want to find the most efficient work to not-work ratio and be there.

I have multiple friends that will have a one-ups competition to talk about all the overtime they worked, and I would just chime in with "If I did 14 hours of actual work this week I would be surprised"

That's me now. I'm working 37.5 a week til the cows come home. If I do work OT, I actually get it. Before, I just banked straight time, got rained on, riddled with black fly bites, and chased by bears.

Wee.

I'm this way now. I genuinely enjoy my job, but when I'm off the clock, I'm OFF. My work phone and work laptop both stay in the work backpack until my next shift.

It's temporarily embarrassed millionaire syndrome. Look at Alex Hormozi. Dude is the definition of faking it til he made it and he puts out stupid posts like 'I ate Chipotle 500 times in a year because it saved me time I could be spending on making money'.

Most of the people in this 'subculture' don't realize that they are crabs in a bucket.

Exactly. Why would you sell more of your life for more money than you need to?

You can't buy back the time
