this is why imho people from my country are held to be hardworking in the UK. We don't have the same conception of money.

@davidgraeber has some great books on these cultural differences actually. I've been thinking about them a lot lately. -
I'll shut up now

one last thing: I guess it should make me feel not WEIRD amirite *hides*
