>>>Work is suppose to be the means to having a life. GAL is not suppose to be a means to being able to work!
So true ! :-)
I've been fortunate to live and work in different countries & cultures. For instance, in Toronto and Chicago, people live to work. On Monday mornings people come to work and talk about how many hours they spent on the weekend at the office or how much work they took home.
In Montreal or Paris people work to live. All 'they' talk about on Monday morning is how much time they spent on the weekend with family and friends. Even high income succeeders live this way in places like Paris.
