Is being a workaholic a bad thing?

To me, being a workaholic is not a good thing. One has to maintain work-life balance. Maintaining good health and mental well-being should be of top priority.

I guess it depends on the person and why they're putting so much time into their work. I guess some people find security in working long hours. I hated where I lived so much in Florida, that I devoted most of my time to a job that I worked at. I depressed. I was desperate to make a living. I found security by following orders and doing as I was told. I felt if I worked hard and did what my boss told me to do, I could keep my job and pay my bills. It was very stressful if I wasn't working. I didn't want my family to end up on the street.

May be. But, I have seen people who were like that and never fell ill.
 
Being a workaholic isn't a bad thing. The only bad thing about it is that people fail to have a balance because they want to advance career or finances. There should be time to develop other areas of one's life.
 
If it interferes with health and relationships, then it's a bad thing.
That's the clear balance. You don't have to be working so much for that you neglect family and your health. The earnings from that intense work would be counterproductive.
 
Personally speaking, it is best to work at our own pace. Setting personal goals can help in terms of achieving something. At least we can work on something.
When you set clear, definitely and the most achievable goals you can be on the right track to fulfill them.
 
Not at all but there are times where you can do too much and it's expected of you every time without being properly rewarded.
