In modern times, the meaning of the saying: "Time is money" nep has lost its relevance. Everyone decides for himself who he wants to be. That is, you can be a workaholic or be "free". But it is impossible to live in a society and be completely free from the rules of this society. This is considered a divergent behavior and does not receive approval. In any society, there are rules and regulations. But all that we unite is the need to have money. Money - it's like air in an integrated society. Without them it is impossible to live. Everything has its price and that to have the opportunity you need money. To have money you need to work. To have more opportunities you need to work even harder and harder. But in this case we are faced with a paradox. You spend time and energy to make money, and as a result we do not have time and health to fully enjoy this money. Moreover, workaholics are prone to disease in particular. Nervous and physical system. Therefore, it turns out to be a vicious circle.
But there are people who choose a different path. But as you mentioned, this way depends on the state system. For example, in one country you can be unemployed and receive for this allowance. This manual is enough to satisfy your basic needs. And in another country you will be unemployed and at the same time you will be a debtor to your state. I think you know what country I'm talking about. Therefore, it is a medal with two sides.
Nevertheless, an excellent topic for discussion. I'm sure this will direct people's thoughts in the right direction.
