Why do people make the simple things so hard?
Work-Life balance. Never heard of it until covid.
I worked my ass off to get ahead. Vacation was my reward. Retirement was my end game and I achieved it by working hard.
America is the land of pussies. The greatest generation must be proud of where we’re at.

Then ...
Today ...
I turned down several job offers that would have been regarded by outside observers as big jumps up. I didn't want to move. I didn't want to uproot my kids. I didn't want a potentially high-risk gig at my age at the time. I didn't want a 60-70 hour work week and constant travel. I didn't want to have to manage and occasionally fire other people. Etc.
At other points in my life, I might have jumped at these opportunities. But life is choices and tradeoffs; make them with your eyes open and own the results.
If I were a member of the greatest generation; I would be majorly pissed. To think they went through all they did for THIS.
