Working a lot sucks, but I do enjoy having some work to do that's interesting, instead of devoting 100% of my time to leisure.
I'm just curious about all those really rich captains of industry that all have enough money to retire but are still working. Are they on a reduced schedule or doing more than 40 hours a week? If I had $10 million or more I sure as hell won't be working 40 hours or more, even if it meant giving up a lot more money. I'd rather be working very little and have $10 million than slaving away for $100 million.
Larry Ellison was sailing a lot, so I'd imagine he wasn't doing 40 hours, but how about Warren Buffet and all those insanely rich guys?
Though if I was working at something really exciting like Google, I might be tempted to work a full 40.
