One thing living in the EU has taught me is how valuable Work Life Balance is.
Where I’m from working overtime, being burnt out and not having job security is normal.
You have no idea how nice it is to have 25 days paid leave each year, full job security and basically never having to work overtime.
I would pick that over a 30% higher salary any day of the week.
Work to Live, don’t Live to Work.
I’ve experienced both and yeah, agreed. Labour rights and good wellbeing >>>> a fat stack of money. Money can’t buy everything. Even in a capitalist society wellbeing is also possible without money - have a community garden, and a gift network with a give-it-forward system, for example.
Sure, in a capitalist system, if you ignore other options like the above, a little bit is needed - and if you have a ton of money you could never work again, but you’ll also be too stressed to enjoy it - cause the only way to get there without being born rich, is tax evasion and stressworking yourself to death. And it costs far more to support a police force than to just abolish capitalism.

I think we agree on that
