Budget Homes

Yes, my friend what you are saying is correct. Someone very wise once said: Mondey + Time = Lifestyle, we definitely do not have a good lifestyle due to the long working hours. It provides very less free time for our near and dear ones but also provides very less time(and space) for our ownself

Companies must reduce the work hours and allow workers to take their work home. With broadband becoming cheap by the day it is quite feasible!
This would allow us to relax at home and still earn. Just imagine working in your jammies!
The work can be distributed 75% - 25%(Home)

One can argue that this move can result in companies exploiting us by extending the 25% to say 35% which means we now end up working 10% more!! But that can be regulated i guess. (It's much easier to make excuses when u are at home...)

Without any offenses, IMHO, I do not subscribe to this working to live concept. And neither living to work. In any case, we ARE living whether working or playing. It's just that we need to do whatever we do 100%. I get reminded of the famous Archies quote: "Work today, plan for tomorrow, party tonight!"

If you are saying we work "for the man", aka the establishment, too much, I agree.

"In the nature, no living being is working after sunset."
Actually, there are lots of animals that are active only at night. Bats come to mind first. Many animals in the tropics do a lot of sleeping during the day and are active at night. And I think the only time ants "rest" is when it get so cold they can barely move.

I was a night guard once. I slept much of the day and stayed up all night.

Back to your point though. I definitely think and feel there is too much emphasis on earning money. The problem is that the ones with so much money are the ones that tend to make it hard for the rest of us to not work so hard. They, and the folks who want their money really badly, tend to be work-o-holics trying to get more and more money. The folks who want the rich people's money charge more for things because they know the rich folks can afford it. But the rest of us are caught in that trap.

Another problem is there is too much emphasis on competition and not enough on teamwork. One thing that must be figured out is how to motivate people who do not feel like contributing, but only want to take.

As an aside, a song popped in my head. Something from the US, and from the 1980's. "Huey Lewis and the News" is the name of the band and "Working for a Living" is the name of the song. I can't recall all the words, but you might like it, search for it.

You can work as longer you like to work, you can work as harder you like work. If you believe this, then you can work any longer. It is all about your mind set. If you like the work you do then you do not complain.

If you do not like the job or you are not moved by your spirit while working, then many nightmare will come. If you do not like your boss, then you can not work even for one hour.

It is all about mind set, If your work is what you love to do, and you work with the people to whom with you feel so comfortable then you find 24 hours is very less.
