Whenever I take holidays off I have to pay myself from my PDO bank. I'd rather work and earn more time. But, I guess either way we still have to make sacrifices to make living.

I lucked out in the position that I have had for the past eight years. It equals out - no over working and no underpay.

More like the under worked and paid in line with what I deserve.
For many years it was the opposite.

First off, I would really consider work "work" since I love what I do. Secondly, I do work my ass off and often find the days just zip by since I find myself so consumed into my work. Third, I get paid well so it's nice :)

Not everyone can say they love what they do, and get paid well for doing it. You're more than lucky. You're blessed. I enjoy my job as well, it's just the pay doesn't match (in my opinion). But, I am grateful to have a job, so I shouldn't complain. Thanks for answering. +4

My former boss was overpaid and definitely under worked. She laughed and joked around while everyone else did her work. She eventually demoted herself and made even more money! I couldn't believe it!
