            That’s fine. Work as much as you want. Just expect your income to accompany your productivity.

            My wife works 14 hours a week, if she wants more money then she doesn’t just take it from my account, she just goes and work more.

            I put my money in stocks

            The money goes to our kid. Not to her luxuries.

                I support that. Let’s have a meaningful movement. Not to decrease our working hours, but to increase our earnings compared to our productivity.

                A part of my job is to calculate the income of the doctors at our hospital.

                They earn their income based on their effort. If they do an easy thing, then they earn little money. If they do something more scarce, then they earn more money. They earn money based on how many patients they help. Not based on how many hours they are at the hospital.

                I see vast differences between income between doctors. Many of them are fine with working few hours because they earn enough anyways. Other doctors aim at 40k euros income per month. They work a lot.

                It’s personal choice.

                The work reform movement must include the people that want to work a lot.

                People that are satisfied with basic necessities (I’m sad for their children) are fine enough with simple tax and social transfers. They don’t even need to have a job (they are hated by people).

                But the people that want to work, need to be paid for their efforts.

                    Belgium’s population grew from 9 to 11 million in 65 years. My wife’s country Indonesia grew from 80 to 280 million people in 65 years.

                    Median net wealth of Belgian is 250k euros and in Indonesia it’s 5k euros.

                    Your perspective is the one that needs to be expanded.

                    Belgians don’t want kids because they don’t believe in a god. They have pensions even though they don’t have kids.

                    In Indonesia they are extremely religious, so they think having kids is important. They don’t have meaningful pensions, so they need kids to survive.

                    You’re quite mistaken.

                    We don’t have kids because we are financially rewarded to not have kids. I vote against pensions for this reason.
