Been retired 11 yrs, but:
Started working 7 days a week at age 15 in a gas station. That was a break from working on the farm.

Put myself thru college working 40 hrs a week.

For my career, I worked every bit of overtime and extra job I could. I was the scheduler for extra jobs and got my pick. During the holiday season, I would work six weeks straight w/o a day off. Most of those day were 12 to 14 hrs, one was 24 hrs.

Then I hit the wall at about age 45. Tried to do 40 hr week, but some overtime and night-time callouts couldn't be avoided.

Retired at age 52 and haven't had a job in 11 yrs.......I did build a house and do a lot of volunteer work.........
