    This was me, I was working four jobs - all part-time, just one with a steady schedule, with two of them where I was doing IT work for way too little money. About a year into this insanity, I suffered a stroke.

    I’m on social security disability now and I’m down not-that-much vs working my ass off and being a bitch for everyone. Life is shit, and then you die.

      Shit man, sorry to hear that, Until recently I was doing the grinding and working one and a half jobs and that shit was already killing me, that’s about 60hours a week, I can’t imagine doing more than that, whenever I hear some Americans talking about 80hour work weeks I think that’s goddamn mental.

      I recently also read a study that working over 55 hours a week like skyrockets your chances of CVDs, stroke, heart attack, one of the main reasons I stopped.
