I worked so many hours when I was a package driver, my own dog would bark at me when I came home. On the other hand, my wife learned how to start a lawnmower.

Hey.. The Wife and the kids sure get used to the duckets pops brings in from driving, don't they?
The modest homes and cars, a vacation from time to time, can afford to eat out on the weekends, season tickets to our favorite pro teams and so on. Don't forget about the 401k.

Actually, she took it upon herself to mow the grass on her own. Unfortunately, she wasn't aware of certain fuel situations, and put regular gas in my brand new 2-cycle lawnmower. Turned it into a 30 lb anchor.

that was almost her exact words....grrrrr. That was the last time she ever touched any of my gasoline powered things. It was actually a safe driving award, so it didn't really cost me any $$$$ but that was one of the best cutting lawnmowers I ever had, well for the 1 time I used it, anyway.

On average I get home 8-8:30 most nights. Some nights by 6:30 the absolute earliest. You just get used to it. From Oct-Jan expect a lot of 11-12 hour days.

My husband would usually get home between 7 and 8:30 in the evening (would leave about 8:30 in the mornings) during non peak. During peak (T-giving - X-Mas) we would be lucky to see him before 11pm. The kids are used to seeing him for a bit in the AM and on weekends. He is now a feeder driver and works late afternoon/evenings (2pm - 2-3am) Sunday's through Thursdays. Working at UPS does cause you to miss a lot of functions with your family but they get used to it (or to you showing up a little late in your browns stinking from being in the heat all day).

Take the time you'd be watching the boob tube and apply it to work. I balance out my life fairly well considering the late hours we work anyways. The money has changed our lives for the better, allowing flexibility and a very stable future down the road. Sure you give up sports events and some family time, but for some the trade off is making six figures and never having to work again after thirty years put in, which will be 52 for me.
