No, this is just a hackneyed cliche that gets repeated every time work-life balance gets discussed.
I know quite a few people in late middle age that dearly wish they have worked harder and earned more money, now that they need it and can't.
- bmer 10y agoThere is a difference between late middle age and deathbed. If it is a hackneyed cliche (and I wouldn't be surprised if it is), I would like to see evidence for it (first hand anecodotal evidence is sufficient, but from someone who is verifiably not you, but worked long hours, and is dying).
