TheMoneyIllusion » Two anecdotes and a complaint.: "Suppose I lost my six figure job and was offered a job paying $20,000 a year doing roofing. Would I take it? No, I’m too “lazy.” I’d keep collecting those UI checks and keep looking. Now consider those lucky hotel maids that were offered jobs paying something like $20,000 for the privilege of cleaning toilets and watching naked IMF chiefs parade around. And let’s assume they didn’t need the money because their husband had a job and they were also getting UI checks. And maybe they had kids they wanted to spend time with. How’s their decision any different from mine?"
