Short blog today. I just want to remark on this last weekend.
You have heard it before. You may even have said it before. Why do we have to work five days of the week and have off only two?
There are a few jobs that have more but they also give up more. On the average you work five days (sometimes six) and you have only two days off. In those two days you have to do laundry, grocery shop, clean house, do yard work and then maybe do what you want to do. Maybe.
I saw a report that said compared two salary households in the 70's to two salary households today. It said that even with two salaries today's households do not have the same stability or leisure as the seventies. So then why work so much? Why give up so much of our time to work?
For those questions I have no answers. I can say why I work so much. I want to keep my head above water. I also want to one day own a house. A home that is mine where a landlord will not evict me, or a crazy roommate won't get pissed off and toss me out.
That's my excuse, what's yours?
