[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Work isn’t the most important thing in life. If you don’t know that now, you’ll likely realize it on your deathbed.[/quote]

+1.

European work culture has it right. [/quote]

Not if you want to actually earn money. [/quote]

Incorrect.  My entire family is in Europe and they make really good money. My H works for an international company and the European are getting paid very well. Americans are buried in debt, the net worth here is actually pretty low. [/quote]

Exactly. Most Americans have been sold this BS that you have to hustle non-stop in order to make money because that's the only thing that matters in life. Europeans in general have a much better sense of balance and their lives on average are much better than those living in 4000 sq ft houses in the US[/quote]

If you say so. I personally don’t want to work 5 fewer hours a week so I can cram my entire family into a tiny house. Make fun of large American homes all you want, but they are way more comfortable, and pretty much every European would buy a larger home if they could afford it.

But ask them if they'd give up their work life balance for that bigger paycheck and house, and most would say no.  Look at the happiest countries in the world.  US doesn't even break the T20. Countries with generous leave make the Top20.

Israel at #8 cracks me up! Participating in "The Purge" must be doing a lot to improve their happiness.[/quote]
