88 years ago, One of the founders of modern economic theory, John Maynard Keynes, predicted we’d all have

a lot more leisure time today.

“Keynes revolutionized economics and its forecasts, and when he made the predictions in his 1930 essay, “Economic Possibilities for our Grandchildren”… Keynes posits that by 2030, developed societies will be wealthy enough that leisure time, rather than work, will characterize national lifestyles. He uses a realistic estimate for growth — 2 percent per year — and pointed out that with that growth the “capital equipment” in the world would increase seven and a half times”.

He was right about the growth in capital. Unfortunately, we the people are NOT on track to be living coveted lifestyle within the next 12 years. In fact, according to Lynn Parramore (Reuters), via Business Insider,

Average American workers work MORE days than English Peasant farmers in the 1300’s:

“economist Juliet Shor found that during periods of particularly high wages, such as 14th-century England, peasants might put in no more than 150 days a year. As for the modern American worker? After a year on the job, she gets an average of eight vacation days annually.”

Many employees don’t even TAKE all their vacation days

In today’s highly competitive, “At Will” work environment, jobs are not guaranteed. People fear losing their employer’s favor or even their livelihoods.

Without a national vacation policy (where employers would be *required* to give employees more vacation time every year), and without an employee advocate to negotiate on behalf of employees, people are working more hours, and longer days, often becoming less productive in the process.

Economist Robert Reich pointed this out several years ago and advocated for a National Vacation Policy (mandatory 3 week vacation for all employees) without success.

Working harder with fewer vacations, affects one’s health in numerous ways

(including increased depression, more sick days, and even Coronary Heart Disease):

“The frequency of annual vacations by middle-aged men at high risk for CHD is associated with a reduced risk of all-cause mortality and, more specifically, mortality attributed to CHD. Vacationing may be good for your health.”

 

So, what’s the answer?

Well, more income options might help.

 

But what if you’re not (yet) a millionaire?

What if a hardworking company employee could build their own residual income in their spare time, without jeopardizing their day job?

What if, instead of working –harder-, and into an early grave, a family’s breadwinner could get paid for actually taking better care of their health?

What if you could create a lifestyle that you don’t NEED to take a vacation from? What would that look like?

I’d look for these 3 things:

1. Non-Stop Income Every Month Even When I Can’t Work

2. Get Paid to Actually Take Care of Myself and Help Others Take Care of Themselves

3. Decide Where, When, Why, and With Whom to Work… or even if I will

 

Sound too good to be true? Could be, that depends entirely on YOU.
