There's a balance here. The two can be the same thing but I definitely work 60-80 hours a week in 4 different companies and will continue doing so for another 10 years probably... Or at least the plan is to do this until I'm successful enough to "retire" and start enjoying life.
This is absolutely crazy to me. By the time you retire work is ingrained in you and you will probably just be bored, no? Besides, why spend your prime physical years working when you can be traveling, playing sports, trying new things, etc?

I work 35-40 hours a week and depending on circumstance in a few years I want to cut back to 4 days per week (30-35 hours). At 40 hours I feel there's barely enough time to do what I want during the week (gym, run, dog, friends, sports). Weekends are of course perfect.

This is of course a huge privilege that not a lot of people get to enjoy. But some may have that opportunity and yet choose 60-80 hour work weeks? What is it you do?
