Our businesses are all time consuming & life consuming. 12, 14, 18, 20 hours a day......most of the people here can't even sleep without dreaming in code & stats.

It really is a toss up....get rich & die quick due to stress. Or be poor & take some assholes bullshit all day, but live till your 80+ : )

Me, i'll get rich & die quick.
Actually, yes rather die. Not sure how hard you work, but I'm sure most established people have gotten to the point where it's very laid back. Wake up around noonish, check some emails, checks stats. Grab some food.. bs watching tv. Dabble in some projects till 8ish and go out and do whatever with friends who do have 9-5s.
12, 14, 18 hrs a day? Christ. Maybe if a must be done project came along, sure I've pulled 48hr sessions straight. But thats the exception not the norm.
Self employment is supposed to be about relaxed lifestyle, not JUST the money.
