My side jobs are for fun. I don't need them one bit. Polishing rocks LOL. Good one. 

Your mom always said to find something you’re good at and stick with it.  You’ve been polishing ever since

That's laziness.. I plan on working until I physically can't work anymore. Hard work is good for the soul.. 

I prefer to donate my time to charities. Next week I start back up at the homeless shelter serving meals.  It’s only a couple hours per day and not really that hard but it’s better than “just good” for the soul.

It's different for different people. For somebody that is able-bodied and driven to the same level as me, I'd say a good 50 to 55 hrs per week. As long as I also have time to work out.

50 hours doing what?

Depends. I was told not to go into personal details too much, but most of my work is in the office. One part-time job is a little bit active where I burn some calories.but that's mostly mental too.

I'd consider 80 to 90 hour per week of physical labor a hard job.  50 sounds more "part time" in comparison but "in office?"

I said 50 to 55. It was actually a lot higher for most of summer. An average of 3 hrs per day in addition to my primary full-time job.

Well 55 hrs is not 90 hrs and "in office" is not "hard work."  That former homeless guy I mentioned is working harder.

It is generally accepted that when we have something "important" to do, we fare better than those that have nothing "important" to do or nothing to do.   The definition of "important" is up to each individual and what drives them.   Continuing work is one, volunteering another, tutoring another, etc.   Retirement can end shortly if the retiree is not engaged in something more fulfilling than sitting and watching TV.   We need a purpose or we languish and/or die.  Plenty of people out there with no purpose, but they are languishing and not fulfilled for the most part.

Who the hell works 90 hours per week? I can tell you that I work harder than 90% of the general population and harder than 99.9% of wingers.

Yeah, this I believe.  And yet you have time to chime on here all day long.
