All along, i'm always living to work because i spend most of my time working and working, without much time for myself, and i became more and more slcak with my training.. BUt now, after i quitted from my job, i have become work to live ^_^
As my work is my hobby now, and my hobby is part of my life too ^_^ SO, working to live is something fun to me right now, though it can be stress at times, but it's worth it, given the chance for me to have more time for myself ^_^

I very much would love to live to work, but for now, I'm working to live. I don't hate my job, but I'd rather do something else. I'd like to build a career as a blogger, but I don't have the time. I can't afford to give up my present job because I have bills to pay and a family to support.

I definately work to live. If given I chance I can live without working and will be comfortable with it. When I imagine of waking up in the morning to go to work I feel sick. If i was self employed then I would say that am both. But working under someone who doesnt even notice your efforts can be more boring than living without work. Some bosses think that they are paying you for nothing and hence they see you as a liability while you are toiling yourself to keep the company up and running.

I would have to say, I'm working to live because if I didn't work
I wouldn't be able to live.
