126hrs per week average, or 18 hours a day, 7 days. Sometimes more, sometimes less. This is the norm for me. I plan to retire at 45 and the super I have ATM will see a very comfortable future.
Cheers

I work approximately 0 hours per week.
Still at Uni, but even then I am struggling to retain interest in my course (Primary Education). So am considering trade long-term. Either plumbing, plastering or mechanic. I don't know much about either, but you've got to start somewhere. That's long term. Short term I'll stick to teaching and get a bit of capital. But yeah, student atm. 0 hours work. Nobody wants to employ me. "Sorry mate, too old". 23...live 5 minute walk from mall... So I play EverQuest II instead |

It only normal for me. Been doing it for a long time. You will actually find some interstate truckies will have far higher hours than mine. My brother in law does far more hours than me.....sometimes 4 days straight without sleep, and keeps popin pills to keep awake. Cheers.

I do about 100 hours average, no lunch breaks, lots of stress, heaps of money invested, and the people I work with want to do the least amount of work for maximum amount of money. Yes I own a business.
