Which mentality makes more sense to you?

So my job has basically taken over my life, most days I am at work 11–12 hours i even bring my dog to work with me! It has been like this about 2 months now and It’s really starting to drive me crazy!! I know the economy is bad but I’d really rather work a normal 8 hour job and enjoy life especially being 22. Now my boss has a very different approach on life, he says the reason america is how it is is because we are all lazy only wanting to work 40 hours and never saving money, spending it all the time etc. etc. which yes America could be a little more careful with their money. However i don’t think wanting to enjoy my life and only work 40 hours a week is lazy, I only have one life and am i willing to sell that for a paycheck that isn’t even enough to save massive amounts of money? What are you thoughts, do you think americans as to carefree and we should work harder and save more or do you think trying to enjoy your life while still working a managable amount of hours is a better route. I feel like I could be explaining this a whole lot better but the words are flowing as nicely as I’d have hoped ha
