This comment by Van on the post Do We Really Need to Work?
What you don’t seem to realize is that, 1, you are in a very small, privileged minority, and 2, you got there by taking advantage of this very same system. Whether you approve of it or not, it is these exact market conditions that allow you to get away with paying workers what you do and having them work as long as you do, so that you can enjoy a profit and your extra 20-30 hours of free time. So congrats to you for having had the foresight in investing in your own businesses, and for having them succeed, but don’t delude yourself by thinking anyone else could do the same if only they were as smart as you. Luck got you where you are at least as much as your decisions.

Question of the Day:
Can not working or working reduced hours be a practical reality for many or only the privilege of a select few?
