These people must either be trust fund babies, live in their parents’ basements, or married up. How else can people just afford to quit their jobs?
Same reason most Dem voters can afford not to work— they live in a welfare state.
Women have choices.
"I see you've missed a lot of work lately."
"Oh, I wouldn't say I've missed it, Bob."
very generous welfare state
Not so. Some people change the way they live and only one person needs to work. Its not easy, I repeat it is not easy but can be done.
I felt that way when I worked as an engineer. I hated it. Of course, I just got married and started having babies.
I don’t think I’ll ever go back to being an engineer.
I’m lucky that my husband has worked hard. He’s done well, so we have lots of savings. We could afford for him to do something he enjoys more, but he won’t quit.
If they can afford to have a less stressful job, then good for them. Maybe they have savings. They also may be scaling back their homes and their clothes. It’s amazing how much women spend on clothing when they are working.
