Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
We all have free will. Make our beds then sleep in them. Spent one Christmas on barracks duty, one in Okinawa, one in Somalia and one in Sadr City. All my choice. I willingly did that knowing that I would rate a pension after 20 yrs. We can all take steps to change our situations and futures. After hours education/training, start your own business, learn a new skill, apply for a different job, get a second job, marry rich, save-invest-ER, etc...
100% true. If I was to count all the extra hours I worked while rehabbing rental, owning and operating a bar/grill, all while holding a full-time job. I have worked two jobs nearly my entire life.
100-hour weeks were common for me for many years. Some people cannot even get out of bed and they wonder why their life is difficult financially. Or they wonder why someone else cannot help they pay for rent, child support or their healthcare.
The harder I work, the more privilege I get.
