I say that too but if you have a family and work for minimum wage it's likely that working to live and living to work will be one and the same.
I'm lucky I that I only work a few months a year if I need too but I have been in the position of holding down three jobs. |

I fully understand I did two jobs for 5 years to write off my mortgage .
I could see no other way of doing it so I did that because I didn't want to be chasing my tail all my life .
I become my own boss at 27 for the same reason .
Don't get me started on the injustice of the so called minimum wage . |

I love my job. I work with great people, I travel, but not too much, am working on new things every day and I have to keep studying to stay up to date.
I couldn't do what I do financing myself and I'd get bored very quickly not being office-based.
I'll carry on working thanks! |

I work seven days a week but never more than 6 hours I a day.i don't need to work seven days a week I do it for the exercise and because I enjoy it .
I could work 12 hours a day seven days a week if I chose to but what would be the point for a bigger car a bigger house a extra holiday a new watch a tablet a new phone .
No thanks I'll work my way like I said work to live not live to work.
P's I work 3 half hours Saturday and 3 half on Sunday more for the exercise than the money my job keeps me fit without it I'd become very unfit as going to the gym or anything like that would bore me to tears . |
