Let's not count the 8 hours you sleep. That gives us 8 hours out of 16 spent working. Also your employer isn't paying you for your commute let's count that at 1 hour per day this comes out to 9 hours /16 @ 5 days per week
45 hours out of 112 waking hours in a week spent working (and commuting). That's if you're lucky enough to work at a place that allows you to leave after "only" 8 hours worked without raising eyebrows.
That's 40% of your premium waking hours devoted to earning those precious clams.
Let's not kid ourselves. Your employer gets the best hours of the day and the best years of your life.
Work sucks.

- brianwawok 10y agoHah but what is the flip side? You can give no hours to work and be stuck in a park bench. You get more prime hours, but is your quality of life better?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoA good used sail boat is about $60k. You can live very well on it for about $15k/year. That's not a park bench; that's freedom, which is priceless.
- brianwawok 10y agoNot sure my dogs would like that.
- toomuchtodo 10y agoLiveaboards have dogs onboard without much issue, unless they're frequently transiting other countries and having to clear customs (ie your pet needs to be quarantined for 30 days).
