As a side note, Ive had jobs that have paid me very well. I worked every waking minute of every single day at those jobs and if I even talked about taking a day off - I would be treated like shit for months. If I was brazen enough to take a vacation, it was required that I still answer phone calls and take emails. So I might as well just stay in the office at that point. "Just turn your phone off" or making a fuss about the legality of it all was a surefire way for them to find a way to let you go. You're high paid because you're giving your life away, not because your irreplaceable.
Point of my story is this - I dont make that type of money anymore, but I can play games when they come out. I can go fishing when I want to. I can spend time with my family on Holidays. The vacation I take wont be as exotic, but at least I can take one in peace now. I think the real turning point for me was to realize its not only about getting paid, its about getting paid as much as possible in the least amount of time possible. Its one thing to think it, its another entirely to actually act upon and take less rewarding opportunities because of it. Im much happier now, even though I may not be as productive as I "should be" to some people.
Getting rich and staying happy, healthy and socially connected is what should be taught. Instead, if you look up getting rich, everyone tells you that you have to sacrifice all of those things and become the coldest, most ruthless person on the planet.
