Nope. I (partially) measure my success in life by how much stress and, er, responsibility I am able to avoid.
I am a person who wants to enjoy the process....so if the end goal is great but the process is miserable, then no thanks. And money and status aren't really that great if spoiled by stress (and they can even bring their own stress that offsets their benefits.... "mo' money, mo' problems").
I don't believe it is virtuous to work yourself to the bone. A lot of cultures hold that work ethic in high regard, but I question if it's truly ethical or merely propaganda for the benefit of higher-ups (i.e. they get a lot of relatively cheap work horses who feel "paid" in their pride over a concept). I would ask myself if my needs are being met as-is....and if not, is this the only way to meet them? I look for the sweet spot of maximizing my needs and minimizing my stress/efforts. If that spot is nowhere to be found, then I do what I need to in order to meet actual needs. But rarely, unless you get tunnel vision, is that spot nowhere to be found or at least nowhere on the horizon.
