The problem is cultural and generational.
Example; when I was 16 (1958) I was laid of from a part time after school job. I was laying around in the house when my brother came home. He was 26 and recently divorced so back home until he found another apartment to live in, smaller than before.
He asked why I was home, I told him, he asked why I wasn’t looking for another job, I said I thought I would take it easy for a few weeks and collect unemployment. He said only bums took money for doing nothing and said if he came home tomorrow and found me in the house he would kick my ass.
I got another in about a week, no ass kicking.
You’ve got a good brother.
It was the same lessons I learned, hard work pays twice. Once for the money, the second time for the dignity.
