    You know what?

    My dad is an exec in a large multinational and he agrees with me that the US is doing it wrong. US workers are not more productive than european workers. Despite getting half the vacation allowance and being present in the office for far longer each week, they achieve LESS, in his experience.

    You want more than a month because life and work are different things. You want more than a month because if you're working hard most of the time then you need it.

    I took a month in one chunk last year, if I wasn't taking a six month career break starting december I'd be doing the same again this year.

    You only get one life, feel free to spend yours in an office. I'll be diving in the caribbean.

    Anybody with real wealth has it invested in assets which protect against inflation.

    Wicked lies. Bondholders lose out as inflation reduces the effective interest rate. Poor people don't have "assets" to speak of --- that's why they're poor. When wages keep pace with inflation, poor people at worst aren't affected.
