You might end up ruining your quality of life and he won't be. So you can't quantify your quality of life with time spent at work.
I'm not quantifying it, I'm merely pointing out that being a workaholic harms many people. Personally, I work hard doing stuff I love. But I do raise the bar for people who don't enjoy it, and who are forced to do so in order to compete.
If you take a pill and you get dementia 40 years later then you're trading in current gains for future pains.
And if you work your ass off and get high blood pressure/etc 40 years later, you are doing the same thing.
At most, it seems like a matter of degree and uncertainty. The costs/benefits of hard work are reasonably well known, whereas brain pills are not (yet).
