Not not only their second home, but with a stay at home wife, three kids named Junior, a family dog, two cars, two weeks of vacation a year, and a retirement plan, all for 40 hours a week uneducated labor repairing vacuum cleaners.

You know you are in deep shit when your vacation time is measured in hours.
I'm just so, so sorry.

two weeks of vacation a year

2+ weeks of time off is still normal isn't it? That's not that much

My state is one of the few that guarantees paid time off. At minimum we get 1 hour of PTO for every 40 hours worked, so that works out to about a week and a half of combined sick leave and vacation.

Yes, but most places have gone to accrued time because that way most people will use a good chunk of it before summer on various other things.

Funny, most Boomers in the UK are dirt poor and live in a tiny rented terrace.
