I love love love this industry and that's why I spend EASILY more than 15 hours per week. I feel like I am playing a video game. CFA materials / books / other reading are always interesting and Time just passes by

I'm in the exact same camp. I read every night for fun, now its about finance instead of science fiction books. Still have an awesome life with a ton of fun on the side. I just jumped out of an airplane a few weeks ago.
