Also, there is a cost of living issue that prevents a lot of people from working less.
And organizations like NBC enable that behavior by doing their damnedest to keep everyone on the "endless consumption" ride. All those morning "news" shows are nothing but a giant infomercial for the latest things middle class people are supposed to blow their paycheck on.
The most hilarious thing is when they publish those "just scraping by on $400,000/year" articles. If you put a gun to my head and forced me to spend that kind of money I don't think I could do it without buying luxury cars or real estate.
