Hunter gatherers (primitive areas) still exist today only work about 4 hours/day. I'm not neccessarly talking about in the past. I had a professor tell me about Inuit people and he was surprised that the guy spent most of his day sleeping and not doing anything at all. I guess that's not the greatest life, but heck if it wasn't so cold I bet he would be getting a nice tan outside. Fact was, he didnt have to be working and struggling all day, he got his food then lounged around.
Think about how most people divide up their resources (money) and what they use their resources for. What is it that you spend your time on and what do you acquire with it. I never really thought of having to work all the time, I thought about how much time I would have to spend in order to purchase a certain item.
It also blows my mind that most dont understand transfer of wealth and intergenerational wealth. If done correctly, your children wont ever have to work so long as what you work for, in your lifetime is transferable. Cars + tvs + jobs and pensions = not transferable, property + investments = transferable. Why should our kids have to work? Earn the money once and use the money that comes from your investments to fun liabilities. Never touch the principle = transferable wealth.
