Growing up poor, and watching my dad work as a grade school janitor, I'm quick to tell people my dad worked for a living, but I don't - I just play with computers all day.

I also grew up poor, with my dad in construction and my mom a waitress. I push buttons and solve all sorts of interesting puzzles for a living.
Rather than racing the 100+ temperatures on a roof, I mosey to work before whatever scheduled meetings. Rather than permanently damaging my wrists from carrying trays overhead, I sometimes get a bit uncomfortable so adjust the height of my ergonomic desk and chair, maybe take a walk for a bit.
I value how easy I have it and put in extra effort to make sure it all persists.
