I rarely hear my peers talking about work. It's all about going out, traveling, adventures, experiences, food. Even those with kids. I know my wife and I are always looking for new places to take our son. New perspectives for him to learn.

If my peers do talk about work, it's very bland or a complaint. Maybe that's the result of entering the economy during a serious recession. Maybe it's cultural.

Same here. I'm 33 fwiw. I think it has to do with parents and GPs who worked their asses off and ended up like you father-in-law. I get 1 go around this Earth and I'm not going to spend every waking hour working. A job is a means to an end for me.
