If you lower your working hours to 32 hours per week then this would happen.

Foreign countries their labour will gain in desirability for capital.

Your area will still require the environment to keep you alive, so if you are simply surviving, then it would be a good choice for you.

Now, I live in Belgium. We have a median net worth of 250k euros per adult. We have a lot to lose. If we work less, we simply have less money.

The good thing to do, would be to earn more money. Not work less.

You know how much Indonesians work? Singaporeans? Chinese? They work more than us.

Belgians statistically work only a few hours a week. Do you think our high median net wealth came from nothing?

We work at our property after our hours.

My dad never hired anyone to do anything in the house. He did everything himself. We don’t have a gardener. We do all of it ourselves.

Belgians work part time for themselves.

The truth is that value does not come without labour. Can’t magically lay on the couch and expect value to arise.
