  • True; my family and I have traveled around plenty, now we just like small trips out of town, nothing wrong with that. Weekends should be productive but also fun, take it easy.

  • yeah, that's what we are fighting with now in central Europe. After 1989 we adopted this productivity stuff from USA and it's a total disaster. Essentially, productivity is the opposite of having a rest. Thankfully our labour law require to take all of 26 days of vacation annually until 30 Sep of next year. It can't be skipped or paid, company will get a fine otherwise. Without it, health costs would be even bigger.

    • Well, fucking imagine that. The cool kids got 200 years experience and figured out a way that we here in the US just refuse to acknowledge alternatives.

  • Sounds like slavery to me - 2 weeks holiday - no one in Europe or UK Ireland would tolerate that.

  • Hit the nail on the head. I hate the idea that you always have to do be doing something. My cousinโ€™s like this, and even though Iโ€™m not in his shoes, listening to things he does (real estate, product business, golf, work out), it tires me hearing it.

  • As an American, I can not relate to this at all. I hate prepackaged vacations (including cruises). Iโ€™ve lived in 5 countries and have been to 22 so far. My 23rd will be in May to Costa Rica. I am intentionally staying in an Air BnB in a non tourist spot to brush up on my Spanish. I started leaning Spanish during COVID. It is my 7th language. My teenagers also speak multiple other languages even though they were born and raised in the U.S. The danger of painting pictures with a wide brush is that you paint over quite a bit of details that you missed in your assumptions.

    • I have a similar experience, but you have to realize that our experience compared to the majority of Americans is very very rare.
