[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Good lord - I make $95K and would NEVER do this.  Ever.

My husband makes $450K and he does this - but that is what is expected for this type of pay.  It would never be expected for my type of pay.  I am a manager and I would never let my team work like this either. [/quote]

My DH makes $400k and this lifestyle would be unacceptable in my book. He works 60 hours a week which is at least in the realm of acceptable. I’d rather he go down to $200k and work 35 hours a week (like I do). Money is not worth ruining your life.[/quote]

60 is hard but 80-90 (and that’s if her husband doesn’t work at all on weekends, if he does we’re looking at 110) is a whole other level of horrible. I did this once as a young employee at a notorious sweatshop. We were in our 20s, no family, usually super healthy and athletic when we started (I’m sure you can guess the industry), can’t imagine a family person doing it at an older age. Especially since for him there’s no paying your dues or pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. [/quote]
