Pretty much what the elites are banking on....

Work mandatory double shifts sometimes, switch to midnight shifts and back to day shifts in the same week. I made a conscientious choice to give up work and live on 50% of what I was making while working. It was my choice and I don't regret it for a minute except I can't hobby at the level I use to but my body won't do that anyway.
It's kinda funny how I started with a pension from an American owned company, then I was paid by the French that acquired my pension obligations, then sold to the Finns who now pay for my pension.
Very satisfying for some reason especially when the frogs were paying my bills.
As long as one can chose their own path and not have that path forced upon you, you have won the life lottery in my opinion but I do see why others could see it differently.
More power to one if one wants to die at work. I decided I didn't.
