Plus, one may become inclined to spend more to get certain jobs done faster: a bigger television and more channels for faster entertainment, a wider lawn mower or snow thrower, etc.

Take some time to enjoy life.

I joined the rat race 1.4 weeks ago. Ah well. 42 hour work weeks aren't too bad, and I'm still turning a profit despite the considerable extra expenses and the cost of keeping up appearances.
You are absolutely right.

These two jobs were only at the same time for a few months and only 30 hours each.

I made the mistake of overworking my junior year of high school though. I worked 45 hours a week and went to school for 35. My grades suffered... and so did I... but I made it through.
