In this episode, you talk about how young folks seem to have a certain lack of motivation for work. I've seen articles about similar feelings in law firms and other corporations, where younger folks prefer to work 80% or less, rather than go for the big promotion. I think there is one aspect to this related to housing and living expenses. In the past, you could work hard and then be able to afford a nice house and a life of affluence. With current cost levels, perhaps there is a feeling of defeat. The carrot no longer works, because it is out of reach even if you try your hardest. Might as well enjoy the time you have while young, rather than spend it chasing the carrot.
