I've never understood this "work ethic" business. If I could have, when younger, found food and shelter with a minimum of effort I would have done so.

Unfortunately I had to graft, hated every minute of it.

Later in life I actually found a job I loved doing, so it didn't seem like work to me, I enjoyed the daily challenges.

Now retired (early) my time is my own I can either busy myself or sit and scratch my arse all day if I choose to, AND the important bit is, it's MY choice. Few people get that choice.

Most work to makes end meet, struggle to pay the bills whilst lining the pockets of other people.

You wonder why people don't take up this "fantastic" opportunity.
