Work life balance

Ever since my engagement, I have been pondering over issues like 'investments' and 'work life balance'. Whereas investments are for future happiness, work life balance is essentially for present happiness.

Few days back I met a senior who is into private banking. He specializes investing for high net worth individuals. We met over coffee and he imparted some cool knowledge on safe investments. He resolved my doubts over investing in real estate, equities and other investment options. He told some safe investment plans which are relatively risk free. That day, it seemed, he s0lved one of the issues that had been bothering me.

Work life balance seems to be elusive. I hear my colleagues crying over it. They crib over long hours and undue stress at work. Sometimes I feel, is it everyones' habbit to criticize working environment in a group? Other times I find their concerns genuine. Though at present I don't feel any pressure, I don't know how will things be after marriage.

Work life balance is an individual concept. It is pointless making generalizations. My work life balance will depend on my future partner, boss and many other things that are beyond my control. It is a concept that has to be evaluated at every stage in life and hence it is pointless thinking about it.

Ahhhh... and that solved my second problem too.
