[nextweek2]

I'm GenX and have an outlook different from my younger peers. I work hard 60-80 hours a week to earn as much as I can. Programming is something I do well but I'm happiest outside in the woods or on water.

The difference is I have never taken more than a two week holiday or a break from work. Whereas younger generations seem to drop out of the workforce. This is something I can't fathom as I track my pension and investments on a weekly basis, I'm literally working to retire in relative luxury.

People tell me I may not make it and I should live more for the now, but I fear being old and still having to sit at a desk more. By 60 I want to have f#ck you money.
