Re: When Have I Crossed The Line?
Yes, my husband and I lived in a total dump and both worked 36 hour shifts at least twice a week. Rented places while we were each working over 200 hours per two week period. Since I wasn't home much, the dump didn't bother me as much; I felt guilty about the rental since I wasn't putting money towards a mortgage immediately.
The rewards of retiring debt free with a nice home when I was 40 was nice, the fact that I found both myself and my husband retiring at 40 due to family crises was without a doubt worth the hours we put in and what it took to save from poverty to comfort.
A question, does the "dump" bother you because you are there all day, or because you feel like you SHOULD have something better, or that your mother is paying for it? Are you feeling burnt out?
