I am one of those who don't vacation well, I like to be productive, I don't mind what I do for a living, sure I complain now and then but I do it because I like it, and the market rewards me for what I do, I don;t know if my job will be around by the time im 40,50,60 but I am happy to do other jobs as long as I feel i'm getting compensated for the efforts
I'd love to have the option of retirement, its just for the psychological burden to removed from the back of my mind. I see a lot of my family who didn't plan accordingly and now have to be a burden for others and suckle off the state and I don't want to do that

Because the country is made up of a mix of different cultures, British, Portugese and Dutch settlers, nomadic bushmen, malay and Indian slaves and various African tribes, when the borders were drawn it just grouped everyone together and so the country is very multi-cultural and we just sorta had to deal with it.
For example we have 11 official different languages 4 in our national anthem alone lol
