You may have bigger houses and cars etc,but whats the point if you don’t have time to appreciate them.
The difference between you Yanks and us Brits is that you live to work whereas we just work to live.
The minimum annual holiday allowance in the uk is 4 weeks plus all the bank holidays.
The last time I was in the states I was told that your annual holiday /vacation is 2 weeks per year plus national holidays.
Your only here once so take time out to enjoy it, go and visit other countries.
Material things count for nothing once you’ve popped your clogs.
Have a nice day.

I have five weeks vacation per year. Only entry level employees with no seniority have 2 weeks vacation per year. Of course if you earn minimum wages commensurate with minimum skills, you don’t get any paid vacation.

Hubby and I have plenty of time and money to enjoy life and leisure. We Americans work hard and play hard—wouldn’t have it any other way.
