I go in phases. There will be six months where I work all the time and six months where I have more fun than most do over the course of a few years. I would not trade either of them. For me, that's what I like, that's what keeps me going. Who am I to knock the way another lives?
Working that much and not having a normal life, is just as unhealthy if you are doing it for a "goal" as it is if doing it for money. Goal in this case is just a substation for the money..

If you have a family, it's certainly not fair to them and if you don't, then you are still missing out on life by being a hermit..
