Based on productivity we are 3x more productive than in the 1960s. So Instead 40-50 hours – we should be working 15 hours max. But no we have to work 40-50 hours a week with 10x more stress than in the 60s doing 3x more work than Boomers had to. Meanwhile the rich pigs that won the birth lottery dont work at all.
I just want to work 2 days a week – even if its 2×10 hours and get a full time pay. I dont even want something extravagant like a big house and big cars. Just 5 free days a week and a month of vaccation every year so that I can read all the books I want, train regulary and stay in shape, have enough time to cook and visit relatives do some community service and just live my life.
With 40-50 hours a week I am left with just enough free time do maintain my current existence – and pursue my interests only very rudimentary. Basically if you work full time you either have time for just one single interest and nothing else or several interest but only rudimentary.
