I think the OP has an incorrect view. Yes, many today are lazy, but many aren’t. I’m currently 26. Started working during the summer part time when I was 15. At 16 I was working full time in the summer. At 17, I was working overtime in the summer. Because my school had a work exception and I had a light class load my senior year of high school, I went to school Monday and Tuesday. Worked Wednesday through Saturday. Then I worked through college and graduated debt free. Worked in the retail, then went to commercial construction. Two years ago I started my own home improvement business to create a better life for myself. I get to take time off to hunt. I get to be off on holidays. I get to take time off of work, and go help other people that need a hand. This is not to brag, but a simple point in that we’re not all laying on the couch all day playing video games. I’ve seen the absolute workaholics, and what they end up with doesn’t appeal to me. They hardly take time for family, they work almost every holiday. They work into their 70s, but then need all kinds of operations. Hip replacements, knee replacements, etc. They then end up dying not having really enjoyed life. I believe in living an honest, hard working life that supports a family, but that there is more to it than that. Holidays are days to be with family and friends. I get to take time off and enjoy life. When you get to the end, working all the time won’t matter. Taking time with family and friends and making memories will bring far more satisfaction.
