As an European working with lots of American contractors in the tech field, I'm always impressed by their work ethics. The put in 10-12 hours, 6 days a week.
But from talking with them, it seems like their focus is on retirement - hopefully in their 50's. That's their grand plan, because that's when they'll start "living".
It's a bit of a contrast to us Scandinavians - as we really like to live in the present. No pie in the sky dreams.
Which is also why we guard our working rights and work-life balance like a national treasure.
