I'm certainly "better" or more valuable than some 45 year old who can't hold down a job

I know its sounds strange to you but i am willing to bet plenty of people who have no job at the moment and make far less money than you are very happy or content and therefore valuable to society.

I do not discount that one should work hard and be productive but also do not give more value to those who can produce more than others.

Work Hard
Play Hard
Balance
