I just want to throw this idea out there. You can take it or you can give it right back.
1. WORK DAYS
Why do we work 5 out of the 7 days....who thought of that? How did that happen? Seriously...was it the Puritans?
2. THE WORK/LIFE CYCLE
Whose bright idea was it that we have to work really hard while we are young to enjoy all the money and assets we accumulate along the way, when we are old, saggy, and jaded? I have an idea. When you are young, you should be allowed to squander a ton of money and time. Just live a lavish life, gallivanting around with your other young friends, eating, drinking, laying around, going out, enjoying life....buying things, yachts, cars...whatever. Then, when you get really old and wrinkly and unattractive, you are put to work in an office for like 12-18 hrs/day....How can this possibly work? Well, you can take out like $5M, let's say, and party it all away in your golden youth. Then, b/c you took out that much $, you are forced to work super hard in your old decrepit age, without complaining. You essentially take out credit and work it off later - much later.
3. WORK HOURS
Yet again, who thought of this? What is with work winning the majority of people's time? I don't get it. When "they" got together to talk about how they would run their society, who was the jackass who was like, no, little Cleetis, we can't work for only 2 hours a day...it can't work that way, we have to work from 9am to 5pm, or even more! but not less!
5. W***
Work is an unattractive word.
6. EUROPEANS AT WORK
Don't get me started: 4 or more weeks of vacation. 3-hour lunch breaks....they have their priorities sorted out.
just kidding, guys, work is cool. it's so fulfilling. a chance to achieve Maslowe's top need on his little hierarchy of needs....self-actualization or something.
Gucci, Prada, yachts & booze or self-actualization...it's so hard.

ahhh, finally someone who sees it my way. now you understand why i can't work for other people. my goal in life is to start a successful telecommuting consulting firm -- McKinsey for the young and frivolous -- where the consultants set their own hours and work from wherever they want (e.g., rio, a yacht, gucci). care to join me?
Um....you're a genius. What you describe - that's how life should be! And yes, I'm in!!
ps. great goal, btw...great life goal!
