I’m not tired of working, but I am tired of being poor despite the fact that I’m working.

I'm 45, I have now been working for over 30 years. I'm just tired.

Same, I'm 46 and been working and/or school fulltime since 15.

My college was a co-op school which means working 3 months, school for 3 months, alternating year-round for 5 years. No summer break. My last summer break was between junior and senior year of high school.

I've taken week-long vacations occasionally but that's my longest time off in 31 years. I guess, luckily, no gaps in employment.
