Echo that. I keep noticing "lifestyle ads" that indicate that to be "a proper person" you should spend half your day at some food market talking to the sellers about the aspects of the perfect head of lettuce etc, then the rest of it cooking up a late evening meal for your friends. Its like work don't exist.
But then it also seems like various upper class people have kids these days to show off how much free time they have to spend with them...
Also, "work" seems to involve hammering numbers into random spreadsheets and chatting up clients via phone calls. something that can be done anywhere with a power outlet and a cell signal.
I guess it could be considered the modern equivalent of the Victorian gentleman ideal of "retire with competence". Meaning the ownership of properties, stocks, or interest on savings, that has enough profits to cover lifestyle expenses.
