I have heard that Germans have a very healthy work/life balance.

I feel that in America, the worst thing you can be is someone who does not work. Particularly, if you are upper middle class to working class.

The children of the rich talk about how hard they have had to work, in truth they had their jobs handed to them along with expensive Ivy league educations.

In other countries the rich brag about their privilege while in America they love to pretend their privilege does not exist.

Very good article.
