Presumably there is some point to your behavior. If you are doing this to secure some future standard of living, it might be worth noting that more people than work in SV tech work in tech outside of SV and work regular business hours. Many, many, many of us already have the standard of living you might hope to achieve some day. And we do it on salaries that are a fraction of yours.

We must all make our own choices. But for many your choices look reckless. You are sacrificing much in pursuit of something you will probably never capture because by the time you are in a position to capture it you will have turned yourself into a person unable to benefit from the thing you pursue.

For many in your position, your current lifestyle is fun and exciting. It's a ride. If that is true for you, so be it. But if you have outgrown that, don't chain yourself to the hope of some false future. Figure out how to achieve happiness today while securing financial stability for the future.
