So you're saying that only 1 in 10 have no kids? Is this the same 1 in 10 that are overly stressed at the office?
I know it's a stretch, but does your goal of retiring 10 years before me sustain you through those tough days? Or do you think that management should provide a vehicle for you to vent your stress?
I'm not trying to say that I'm better because I have kids, but as it relates to stress in the workplace, it is likely that the 1 in 10 that is overly stressed is so because of pressure to provide for their family. People who don't have kids, likely don't understand the excessive drive towards advancement and more stress.
If you're single and successful, and retiring 10 years before me, then you can't possibly understand what the stress is really about. Therefore, you really aren't part of the problem. Therefore, you don't have much reason to post on this topic. (except maybe to add more stress to the struggling parents)
Can you picture the headline? "Single man loses job along with BMW and stock options. Forced to work until 65. Goes ballistic and shoots 10."
Religious fundamentalists die for their God. I would die for my family. What would you die for?
