As I moved up in the organization, my hours kept getting better and better, and now I work 55 - 65 hours per week (obviously there are good weeks and bad weeks). I don't plan to do this forever, but right now the money is too good to walk away.
TL;DR: Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy an M4 (and that makes me very, very happy)

haha good stuff. How many years are you into your investment banking career?
I concur, money can buy you a M4, which makes you happy, problem is, you'll also find out as you make more money, you have less time to enjoy your stuff you purchase to make you happy.
That's the case with my M3. I bought it in 2010, and I've used it less than my prior car, when I has making 50% less income, but had a ton more free time.
