    I think your wasting good words
    You make my point exactly.. the X & Y Generation feel that work is not the #1 Priority in they lives .. It is self satisfaction & comfort

    Gaming is not the problem. A lack of discipline is. If it wasn't gaming it would be something else. What you are talking about, reflects on the person. I run a successful business, and play video games. And if I'm not mistaken. @Midwest Trucker enjoys some of the same games I do. He has a bigger operation than most here and video games haven't seemed to destroy his business. So quit the hate on gaming, and understand everything that has been mentioned here always goes back to the person that is running their ####... it's like blaming drinking for someone being an alcoholic, or blaming guns for someone being a murderer.
     
    Siinman, Coffey and Midwest Trucker Thank this.

    Why would work be anyone's #1 priority in life ? Work is nothing more than a way to make money. And money doesn't rule my life. My #1 priority in life is family. #2 being happiness in my own life and my own journey... I work to live not live to work...

    I was thinking the same thing. I’m not into video games but I have plenty in my life that doesn’t involve trucks. Last year I worked 251 days, so just under 8.5 months of work.

    Because some really enjoy work. I wouldn't rank work above family because it's all one package for me.
    I enjoy skiing, golf, and other activities as well, but I couldn't enjoy these things without work.

    Just my perspective.

    Yes but let me say this I was born much closer to 65 than 80 and theres a huge difference between somebody that was born in 80 vs the year I was born
