Pay me $414,010 a year and you’ll get your 90 hours a week.

Honestly, you could add three digits to that and I still wouldn't do it.
A friend of mine worked around 90-100 hours a week, building up his own business, hoping to get bought out by a big fish and retire early.
He simply didn't wake up anymore one night when he was 35.

I'm 55, had my first heart attack and open heart surgery at 49. I feel you.

Same. Life's too short to gamble it away.
