Complete shit. Being 100% honest here. Overweight from eating like crap, too many office snacks, drink 5+ cups of coffee a day, eat fast food, back pain from sitting too much, poor circulation, bad sleeping habits, carpal tunnel, high blood pressure, stressed out and depressed, think about ending life fairly often. 10 years into a career as a professional software developer, been writing software for 18 years though. 32 years old. Through these sacrifices I have managed to make an absolutely ridiculous income, more then I ever dreamed of to be honest. In one year I make what my father made in 5 working for the federal government. I recently put in my notice and I am retiring. I hope to never write a line of code again in my life. I love technology but being involved in software was not for me. |
Beware of attribution error. Were these "sacrifices" necessary to gain the income? I strongly disagree that healthy lifestyle and productivity/income are mutually exclusive.
